Pretty much.

Yi: "I'm not afraid of the oaths Yi made to you. And if I'm expecting it, its not unexpected, is it?"


Yi: "Who are you really? you're not from this world. What are you really? I'm pretty sure you [Halcyone] are a so called creation of science. And you [V]... A mystical shapeshifter. Your true form seems to be a dragon, or some variation on it, I think."


Yi: "so why are you here?"

[the_matrix_walker]

"As I told you when we first met... I was sent to follow the fate to bring about the fall of a tyrant, who I thought could be Bel."

"Well I'd say a creation of short-sighted greed but let's agree to disagree. What are you really?"

"To kill a tyrant. Are you really here to snag a bauble?"

"I'm a wanderer from another place, another world*. I serve myself. I am here to 'snag a bauble'. But I'm also here to seize a kingdom. Whom do you serve?"



*intentional deflection. He's scared of you for some reason.

Well, I think that's enough confirmation. What would I need to roll to stealthily draw a weapon?

I play nice for now. "Why so cagey about that second part? Sounds like an admirable goal."

"Can you shed your oaths with such ease along with your skin? How do you hope to obtain your prize when you have forsworn it by your bonds of fate?"

DX-based Holdout, I think.

Yi: "Because its the obvious goal. The one most likely to cause conflicting motives. And I work best from the shadows."

"My patron prefers to remain anonymous. Let's just say I'm working with them for my own interests."

Yi: "How inconvenient."

Yi: "That's my little secret. But as a hint to a real shape-changer, Its not merely the skin that I leave behind."

"Your new body is not new-born. Did you weave it from some magic, or did it have a previous owner?"

Yi: "If I wove it from magic, it would be new-born, wouldn't it? The old occupant is gone. Just like Yi."

"Not with me. I prefer to sit at the foot of the throne, not on it."

I draw a rifle quietly, hoping to catch Yi as I distract him with flirting.

After the rifle is readied, I shove the table over and begin shooting (full auto, if it matters)

I don't always Rollplay, but when I do, sometimes I get good dice luck. Makes up for a couple no hitters today.
