Corat lets Glen see that he approves of his new insight.

The Symphony speaks far too vaguely today. Mitch is only reminded that Mo-mo is a generic word, Chinese or perhaps Sino-Japanese, for spirit. (High Priestess tarot card, very low CD). Makes sense for a Nightmare demon, but that doesn't mean it's his real name.

Corat shrugs. "He's a Nightmare demon. Maybe he's less serving one and more working with one. Beleth has so many of them hostage."

Corat likes such strategic thinking, appreciates it more than in the past. "Yeah, but we're not in a position to snitch...directly. We may be in a position to pass it along to that other illustrious Renegade after we get back to California."
He takes a moment to look around, really look. Ryuki is still gone and if Kane's there physically he's checked out mentally.
((RocketMan if you want him to have been away physically, under the circumstances I can very easily hand him a weird resonance on Ryuki and Kane's been off following him. He kind of wants to talk to Kane right now anyway.))

((A couple of PMs in that post, highlight after your name.))

"We're not going to get much more information out of him in this state."

Mich clucks his tongue in disappointment as the Symphony refuses to give up its secrets today and nods at Glen "Should we venture into the Ethereal or wake him up? Perhaps he will be more willing to talk when not in conference with his fellow demons."

Corat whispers, "I have a plan. I'll split the three demons up. Some of us can follow into dreams, some can stay here and wait for this stooge to wake up, and one of us can go make sure Gilligan isn't into something deeper than he can handle." 'Gilligan' is said with a mixture of love and exasperation so that it's clear, especially to Mitch and Sunae, that he means Ryuki.

He leans over to Mo-mo. "I have an idea. Bakuya goes and asks the Loa for suggestions." He giggles like it's the most evil plan in the world, and then continues. "Send Raiden to Misrule to get the other plan, and then you go tell your Nightmare boss what screwups the other two are."

Mo-mo's face says this is a bad idea. "Not boss. You know what Nightmare bosses do to failures. Not even messengers are safe."

"Aaaaah," Corat does his best to sound sympathetic. "Then you go get Misrule to fix all this, and have that snitch Raiden go explain failure to Nightmares. Buh-bye snitch-boy."

Mo-mo seems to like this plan, and repeats it to his comrades on the other side. He doesn't seem to get slapped or anything, so they haven't rejected it outright.

Mitch nods "Sounds like it plays to our various strengths. I volunteer to travel into the Ethereal. Should I follow them to Misrule or Nightmares?"

"It's going to be dangerous regardless, but is it a good idea for you to follow them to a Demon Princess' realm? I say you stick with the Ethereals. As for me, it'll be dangerous either way. I don't think we should separate."

"Fine, I'll go." Corat still hasn't mastered patience. He looks around, wondering how to slip his vessel into pocket-space without being noticed. Ryuki however seems to have picked up stealth because, despite the fact that you're all standing in the middle of a park, he's only a few yards away before you really notice him. Certainly no one else is paying him any mind.

"You are such a tourist." He arches an eyebrow at the sleeping form in your midst. "Tai chi, really? And isn't that the guy who was stirring things up back at the castle?"

"Yes." Corat brings him quickly up to speed.

"Nope, you're not going into the dreams after him." Kane may demand may-I's, but most folks did not. "If someone like me or Sunae get caught in there, you wake us up. If you get caught in there you're in real trouble." He conveniently forgets how much trouble his friends the Dylans had gotten into in a situation very much like this one. "Us specialists will pin him in his vessel and then either we all go in and tag him together, or just us mortals."

An odd detail for someone like him to miss--surely he noticed that a demon was sleeping, rather than pocketing his vessel to go to the Nightmare realm.

"Why not just question him here and now?" Corat points to the sleeping demon.

"There are a lot of things I'd ask him. Why is he here? Why this castle on this date? Who is he working for? Who does he think he's working for, and who are they working for, and why this guy? Who does he plan to report to, and who is he hiding from if anyone, and who would he hide that report from? And the best way to--"

Mo-mo speaks up a little. "That's too many questions!"

Ryuki's irritated with himself for ignoring the demon's hearing. "Shut up, I wasn't asking you." And then attempting to finish his thought, "--is to follow him."



((Ryuki's been offstage for a little while, either with NPCs, Kane, or both, so until I resolve that I'm leaving the details a little vague. No problem asking him where he's been but I'll be working around that open question.))

"Why don't we talk to the Dylan boys for some help? Surely they have a better idea of what's going on there. But eventually we are going to have to go there."

"For advice, sure. But they've been made, as have....Mitch, I think they said, and you." He addresses Corat in that 'you'. "I, on the other hand, am an unknown to them at this point, and a damned good spy."

Corat rolls his eyes, making no attempt to hide it. "And pointless in the Marches. You couldn't dream your way out of a soap bubble."

Ryuki is offended to the point of speechless, but he's also not denying it at all.

"If you go in, you'll need a guide. Kane, or Sunae, or Glen, or all three. The rest of us could help but only if this chucklehead doesn't run into any ethereals who were at that party."
