[3rd Evil Meeting] || [Let the hate flow through you] || [Open]

[great_king_of_evil]

Characters : Open to any and every villain / morally gray characters in the tower.
Setting: The meeting will start in the Cathedral Floor (13th Floor). If a spy or a retrieval unit gets too close to the reunion, all participants will automatically be teleported to another floor so as to prevent information leaking. More details below.
Format: Prose for the meeting. Action or prose for the mingle threads, your choice.

Summary: As usual, this is a reunion for all bad guys and characters in the gray morals. Basically all those who think the ends justify the means, etc. If your character qualifies, feel free to post in. There are no invitations or network message about it, Ganondorf has simply spread the "rumor" that a reunion is about to happen on the 13th floor, so that all the "bad guys" can get word of it.

The reunion will center mostly around the recent events and future plotting. What the administrators do, what the "resistance" does and what the bad guys should do. Maybe plot new things, offer ideas and have villains cooperate? This post will be divided in two threads. One for the reunion proper, another for individuals mingling threads (set either before or after the reunion).

Warnings: EVIL. Evil plotting. Lovely things altogether. Heroes forbidden unless they have a death wish.


Teleportation Trick
Basically due to the recent events, a lot of villains are now tracked by Retrieval Units trying to spy their every movements. Add on to this, the good guys have taken an habit to try and spy on such reunions even if that means a certain death. So Ganondorf has devised a system that automatically teleports all participants, including their chairs, to another floor in the tower when a retrieval units gets close. It is seamless and from the participants's viewpoint, it looks as though their surrounding fade for a second before becoming a new floor.

Of course all participants will be warned of this security system before the start of the reunion, so as not to have side-eying moments if the system activates suddenly during the reunion.

Ganondorf noted the presence of the (small) master of evil he had encountered a few months ago and whom he had taken in for the infiltration of the lower floors. He wondered if he had done progress on his own aside from their mission in common and nodded at him in acknowledgement to start a discussion.

"It has been some time since we last met."

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Ganondorf would just raise an eyebrow and stare for a moment at Jin typing on his laptop.

Half of him wondering what sort of strange informatic code or thing he was consistently doing on his computer. The other half of him was suspecting Jin wasn't actually doing anything of value and used the machine as a way to hide his extreme state of boredom. ]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Exactly. While Ganondorf approved of arrogance when it was justified, some levels of arrogance took it too far, especially in the tower. ]

Indeed. And even the complete idiots ones can prove useful to manipulate. With such an attitude and lack of wisdom, they make wonderful distraction on whom the resident can focus their attention while we work in the dark.

[great_king_of_evil]

They won't do us any harm, that would defeat their purpose. Besides if they want to grab you, they most likely won't use the same units that follow you.

[ Ganondorf had not paid attention to the modified people during Jason's event, so at least he had no clue Sephiroth had been amongst them. ]

I agree. I have no doubt they will use what they can to stop us. And we also have to worry about those led by the Princess, even though I suspect their resolve will be broken long before the end of this story, be it by the administrators or by us.

[great_king_of_evil]

[ At least it looked like Kiryu hated traitors as much as he did. Ganondorf only replied when he was certain nobody could listen on, especially not who he suspected to be a traitor. ]

If it is who I think, they probably know of what I did to the last traitor... Hence either they are foolish, either they are immune to abilities that can control the mind. I obviously suspect the later.

[ There was little doubt in his mind that Reno had spoken with Zelda about what had transpired last year, and if the presumed traitor was indeed conspiring with Ryoji, he wouldn't put it beyond him to have gotten to Zelda by now given her position as leader of that so-called "resistance".

However Ganon wouldn't speak Naoya's name for now-- If he was wrong Naoya could still be a formidable ally, albeit his betrayal was the only way Ganon could explain how Ryoji found out and got rid of the shadow tracker. ]

Death is not a solution here. Hence for now, nothing. Or rather-- [He smirks lightly.] Disinformation.

[great_king_of_evil]

( Ganondorf nodded in understanding. ]

I see. I suppose I could try to set an individual spell for you, but there would be no guarantee it would work either.

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Ganondorf smiled when he finally took his seat-- He noticed that expression. He did not have any similar situation back home as reference to compare, but he had a slight understanding of what should be going through his mind.

Which was in fact strange, as since Ganondorf would be in pole position to be a bully back home, never one of his victim or potential victim would attend his reunions. ]

Ganondorf.

[ This name had become synonymous with bad news for many residents in the tower, but given the kind of reunion it was this was to be expected. ]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Different realities? Ganon had once met his self from another reality and hadn't liked it. He looked at the boy with mild curiosity, wondering. ]

Different realities?

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Ganondorf noticed Vicente standing off to the side-- He had never spoken to him before but as he was attending for the second time such a meeting, his interest was picked.

Hence Ganondorf turned his stare to him. Better start by asking the most banal questions every "villains" here were most interested in. ]

Seeking to fight the administrators?

[pinnaculum]

I believe so. If it is true they bring only one of us here from each world, then we would be from different realities.

He has done things I have not, that I could not have done. [Or so Sephiroth thinks. He's missing a very important piece of the puzzle.] He did not know about things I knew. If he were my older self, our memories would be more likely to be in line.

[planetcrusher]

[Being a beastkin taught Makoto many things, most of them a crash course on Humanity's faults pertaining to change and acceptance. Racism. It also taught her - whether she liked it or not - to memorize the sensation of another's eyes on her. It's for that reason that she catches Sephiroth's gaze as it passes over her briefly, and intuition gifts her one critical piece of information she'll not soon forget:

This man is dangerous.

Maybe it's the look in his eyes, or the way he carries himself, or probably even the choice of clothing. Most likely a mix of the three. But if there's one thing Makoto's good at, it's listening to her gut. And her gut says this guy is no bueno.

Which is exactly why, in that brief instance of eye contact, she memorizes his face.]

[darkestsatisfaction]

[Oh, that he does. Betrayal is a sore subject with him.

Kiryu keeps frowning, but nods - his own preference would be to deal with any traitor upfront, but he won't presume to tell Ganondorf how to deal with this.

Death isn't permanent in the tower, but then again... being left alive can be the so much worse punishment at times. He snorts.]

Most of times, death by itself is much too kind anyways.

[It will be a small mercy when he is done with Yusei.]

[isthatashortjoke]

"It has... Then again, time seems to matter little in this place doesn't it?"

Veigar turned to look at Ganondorf, his glowing eyes seemingly studying him.

"How have you fared? Other than the minor nuisances of the stalkers, nothing much has changed as far as the towers annoyances go for me."

[darkestsatisfaction]

Obviously.

[It's a pleasant surprise, he supposes.]

What's your name, girl?

[neverbeamemory]

Hmph.

[That depends on how much value one places on their soul. Sephiroth clings to his the same way he clung to his core, his very identity in the Lifestream. With his signature iron-will. Therefore the idea of anyone having access to, playing with or otherwise influencing him in that way is, well it's the major bone of contention he has with the Tower, and it does hurt. Perhaps moreso that there is less value now on his physical body itself.

Other than the very inflamed insult that he's even being contained in a place he doesn't want to be. He's not about to reveal his feelings or their reasons to anyone, though.]

I have still to even lay eyes on this Princess from your world. It would would be ignorant of me to make any assumption on any cause she would head, however misdirected it may be.

[culbutiri]

Most people do be on the side of the light, many people do be defaulting there. It do be easier apparently. [She shrugged]

Because that do be what heroes do be doing, destroying darkness.

[culbutiri]

[Like Richtofen then. Normally she would defend the doctor but she's still sort of mad with him.] Yes idiots who do be easily manipulated do be being useful.

[She nodded over to baby Sephiroth and Shinji.] They do be being brave.

[darkestsatisfaction]

[...

Kiryu keeps staring at the kid for another minute, before he just shakes his head in amusement.]

And they accuse me of madness.

But I suppose, I can agree with that much at least.

[culbutiri]

I do be being Nesir Aeser, what do you be being called?

[hemoeroticism]

I've been called worse. That doesn't matter, here. I have everything I've ever wanted, here. Well... I used to. ✩

[ He glances over at Wretched Egg. ] I thought I'd never have to hear that annoying lullaby again.

[scorchedchivalry]

I doubt it would, even then. If I had enough warning, I could attempt to accept it, but the way you have this set up, there will be no warning enough for me.

So, should I not accompany you, the reason is clear.

[servessithis]

[Ah, the Gerudo King.]

I might be.

[morituramfides]

Whoah--! [Goddamnit for someone that used to live on the streets he did not anticipate some kid peering over his shoulder.

He reflexively put a hand on the top of his laptop as if to close it, though stopped himself when he saw who it was and let out a breath.] Geez, what do you want, kid?

[morituramfides]

[Excuse you, it was very rude of you to assume, because he was totally doing important things. Maybe.

Jin was pretty good at tuning out his surroundings while he was working, though it didn't take long before he finally noticed someone was staring at him, stopped his typing, and glanced up to see their oh so gracious host of the hour.]

Need something?

[taintedwhite]

I didn't know you were the kind of people to see the glass half-full~

Shiro enjoyed it. [That's all that matter.]
