towerofanimus | Bad guys get together

Characters: Sephiroth and Ganonforf and then Nesir and Ganondorf
Setting: In and around the dorms
Format: Pick your poison
Summary: While Nesir is in her dead world Sephiroth and Ganondorf have a conversation, then when she returns Nesir and Ganondorf have a conversation. Nesir and Sephiroth never have a conversation.

Pretty much a plot wrapping catch all thread thing.

Warnings: General evil guy warnings and mentions of monster things

Nesir had only been home once before but the second time was no easier. It was even worse because of what she knew now, of her not being real, of her soul being the only survivor of this destruction.

Unlike last time she didn't wander, she just took out her anger on all she could see, the ruins of the temple, the gardens where she and Lotte had walked, the training yards, the town in the mountains.

She wondered if this body was real, or another illusion. If Ganondorf's plan would work at all.

And then as suddenly as she was gone she was back. In her bed in the tower, a prisoner once more.

[ He nodded when Sephiroth spoke, perfect. Not that he really wanted to speak. In fact he hated having to go through such exercise, but to finally take over the tower required some sacrifices. ]

Let's go to the core of the matter then.

[ No need to waste time. ]

I have spoken with Nesir. [If you could call that speaking, more like heard things and connected the dots together. Wasn't too hard given how obvious the animosity between the two had been during the meeting.] I am not one to care for what happens here. However, I believe here we have one case worthy of some clarifications.

[ He needed the evil alliance to be in a properly working state to reach his goal and he just couldn't let things go haywire now. Thankfully, everyone who was part of this so called 'alliance' was in pretty much for the same reason, and he counted on that to maintain a semblance of unity. ]

[Nesir...

That little brat. But of course she wouldn't be content enough just to have managed to kill him, but now she intended to make his stay here awkward as well. How immature, ratting him out to Ganondorf. Sephiroth shouldn't have expected anything more though, she is only human and Ganondorf does make a legitimate power to hide behind.

Carefully making sure his face remained blank of emotion, Sephiroth replies.]

I'm sure she told you all sorts of stories. [It would be equally immature to point the 'traitor' finger at her so boldly, but damn it was tempting.] If she wants to drag out this hatred post-mortis then that's her problem. I'm sure you understand I have no interest in the petty concerns of a mortal girl.

I do.

[ Sephiroth may notice a very slight smile on Ganondorf's face at the mention of dragging out the hatred post-mortis. Considering what Ganondorf is, he finds the focus on hatred a very good thing, but details he quickly goes back to his neutral face. ]

However, I have interest in the 'cohesion' of our alliance. [Before clarifying--] Let's face it, the only reason we work together is because we have little choice in the matter. I doubt many amongst us enjoy teamwork, I for one certainly do not.

[ And in fact he has no doubt he'll have to kill Sephiroth eventually if they do take over, especially if he indeed is a God as he pretends. Not that he feels bad about it, he's fairly certain Sephiroth would reserve him the same fate would he be to win. He paused before continuing. ]

Why her? It's not like if there is no choice of people here to play with really, people not allied to our cause.

[ And most them wouldn't help them in their plots, unlike Nesir who is fully willing to help. Also most of them are actually despicable protags and somewhat more satisfying to manipulate, at least in Ganondorf's opinion. ]

You elevate her to a level of such importance, and I do not trust your judgment. She is as human as the rest of them and deserves to be treated as nothing more.

[Sephiroth is immediately disgusted at the idea of Ganondorf even defending Nesir and he is certainly bold enough not to hold that back from his expression. He's always seen the troll-king as closer to his equal than anyone else in the Tower, but he made bad choices all the time. He wasn't about to rub salt in the old Ryoji-wound and mention it outright but the intent was clearly there.]

So blind to the apparent worth of one human girl. She has already betrayed you, in her naivety. You can expect nothing more from her species. [The last word is nearly spat out. Sephiroth isn't stupid enough to lose his temper at Ganondorf but this conversation has displeased him from the outset. Like it or not, he hadn't won that fight. It had been a lucky draw, at best.]

[ He'll skip the part about not trusting his judgement, that didn't surprise him. However Ganondorf may have found a contender for the title of biggest hypocrite. He wouldn't feel like facepalming so much at Sephiroth's disdain of humans if Sephiroth himself didn't look that much like a human. Would he actually be part human, that wouldn't surprise Ganon in the lesser. Ah, the joy of hypocrisy. A privilege reserved to few. ]

This is very true, she is as human as the rest of them. In my homeworld, I probably would not even have noticed her, or in the best of case I would have infused her with powers before anything.

[ Thing he actually seriously considered to do in the tower now, this way she would no longer be a normal human, but then came the problem that it would all be glamour anyway. ]

But here, this does not matter. Would the glamour system be to go down permanently, what would exactly be the difference between her lack of power and ours? [He paused before continuing, speaking very calmly the entire time.] She is only human, but she is ready to do whatever we want, to fight the administrators and accomplish our purposes. Willingly. You've been in the tower for a while now, you know as well as I that such people are barely non-existent here.

[ As far as Ganondorf was concerned she would end up being useful before the end, even if only as decoy or cannon-fodder. Also she is one of the few people whom he was convinced would backstab him if they ever were to kill the administrators. ]

[Sephiroth's face reset itself a few levels of calm as Ganondorf continued the lecture. It rests on a more guarded expression, and he does even nod in agreement with Ganondorf about the lack of those here that would follow them without so many questions.]

Powers or no powers, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of humans with powers Ganondorf. I refer more to their nature, in particular how they are so prone to abandoning all common sense and logic in the pursuit of what they so wrongly believe is the 'right' thing to do. They are an inferior race and it's only natural for them to be so flawed - precautions must be taken around them, and they must always know their place.

I understand that she is useful to yo- us. Which is why I tolerate her presence at all, it's not my fault she chooses to hold a grudge.

[Sephiroth smirks then, even if he had lost the fight the fact that Nesir still didn't drop the whole thing was in itself a testament to his power that he'd held for just a few moments over her. She would always be reminded, every time that she looked at him.]

You know she's been liaising with Ryoji, no doubt? [Time to cut to the chase. Sephiroth had kept very tight-lipped about his surveillance of that particular would-be traitor which had turned into an experiment.]
