Heh, that's some power struggle going on there.

Bleh post is bleh. Na'lsa most likely has a lot less power than he thinks he does. At least he can be a punching bag to take heat off of Asasiah.

Wouldn't he be a lot stronger now after consuming Kasdeja?

I'm sure Asasiah would be thankful, but Amaymon has taken over for now as hes the being with the most knowledge on how to harness his own powers and Uriels powers combined, unfortunately hes not the dominate mind normally, right now he will do anything in his power to save Asasiah and her body, unfortunately he doesn't care about any of the party.

Hah. I think this group suffers from a lot of that 'not caring' about the rest of them in the heat of combat. Got nothing but monsters to fight monsters with.

Well..Feenai cares but she can't do much to help right now even if she was there ^^;;

I think I might have missed some important things here in my absence.


EDIT: Looking at the last couple of posts, I get the feeling that, given what Na\lsa is able to do with Lev's body, he wouldn't be able to separate from it so easily. Either Lev's body is already a mangled, useless wreck from what Na'lsa has made it do so far, or any attempt at separation would leave either chunks of Lev or chunks of Na'lsa on the wrong side.

Oh, make no mistake. Lev would die in a violent and horrible fashion. Technically he doesn't heal from wounds, it's just Na'lsa weaving and holding his flesh in place. If he were to leave, every single injury Lev's ever had since becoming possessed would happen at once. It very nearly happened waaaay back when with a certain grenade. Na'lsa isn't above sacrificing him if he thinks it will 'forward the greater good' though. But you're right. He's dug in so deep that he probably can't leave.

The bigger problem is I'm not sure he'd be able to latch onto Cain, especially given that Cain is wholly spiritual. If Cain were more ambitious, he might consider an alliance, but he really has no aspirations after all this time.

Now, *consuming* Cain on the other hand...

*pictures a three-way meal between Na'lsa, Shealtiel, and Amaymon/Asasiah over his soul* *tasty*

Sounds like a meal, sir. Might find a way to cheat Na'lsa out of it though. For funsies.

Cain. Does not like Amaymon. That is all.

I will have to give some thought on that reply, I have been sick all morning so my mind just hasn't been well at the moment.

Apparently Amaymon doesn't quite know how to deal with that kind of ownage. :p

I apologize for my recent illness, I am trying to reply now.

You hardly need to apologize for being sick, and we can always delay things a little by collapsing a wall onto Na'lsa and then waiting for him to ooze his way up through the cracks in the stones, no doubt swearing profusely while trying to puddle around Cain's feet.

*Unsure if should post or not* It appears that everything that's going on is with the big-bad, so should I just wait?

I'm not actually sure whose turn it is. I thought it was Salone's but he might be waiting for me to give him something to work with?

And you're free to post, if you want, we could use the activity at this point. I'd like to get the group back together at some point, though, I don't think splitting was a good idea.

Okay lets kick off my coming back on the right foot shall we?
Are you still accepting people?

We probably should round everyone up...if only to try to get us back in gear :p

Also. -waves to Kaguya-

Kaguya, I apologize, but we already have 8 people in the group, which is proving difficult as it is to keep everyone up with each other, so, unfortunately, I can't accept any new players at the moment.

Alrighty Suze. I'm back. I do apologize to everyone. I have FINALLY found a job. That really hasn't gotten in the way, it just certainly helps is all. And I've been a prize idiot about abandoning without telling anyone. I'll get a post warmed up. Just give me a bit to figure out how to come back in here.

Oh, hey there. No need to feel bad, we've all been busy this summer. Like I said above, let me know if you need me to give you more to work with.

Glad to hear you go your job, though. Definitely good.

On second thought Suz, I probably could use something. My last post ended with a lunge at Cain and could probably use something there to answer to. Just...swat him away or something.

Sure thing, coming right up! :)

Okay, Salone, there you go. Best I could do at 3:30, I'm afraid. Hopefully it's enough. :p

I just noticed that Cain wields a spear.

*smacks head* That was totally not the reason! :P

I was just trying to think of what weapon he would have used to kill Abel with, figured as primitive as he likely was, a spear would be a pretty safe bet.

...because a rock doesn't have the same dramatic presence. >_>

...Reason? What? -confused- And I'm pretty sure you're right, although most...er...references, if you can call them that, say lance. Same difference.

Um... Kain? Dragoon? FF4? Uses a spear? Rather badass?

And lances weren't invented for several thousand years yet. :P

Of course... his spear is rather clearly not flint-on-a-stick, and we're in a setting where Adam and his family were demigodlike shamanistic psychics, so I'm not sure how much such distinctions actually matter. :D

Kain's best (?) spear in FFIV was called Abel's Lance, I think...which is mainly where I got that concept from.

I take you all down with a piece of mistletoe.

.....Wait, what?

Loki killed Baldr with a dart of mistletoe in classical Norse myth. :P

And I remember Abel's Lance. Only makes sense when Abel was a character in the game, where they'd invented lances. :D

...Oh right, I vaguely, vaguely remember that mistletoe thing.

Oo-kay, something is posted. Bit rusty, but I think I can ease back in to it.

Still a pretty good piece of work you have there, Salone. Na'lsa can be so grotesque and amusing at the same time, not sure how that works. Not even sure it does work but it's something of an experience to read through.

Dara is still sitting by the fire with Andy and Dante. And Fee.

Anyone up for that divine implosion to suck all the characters into one spot?

I've been thinking of ways but nothing solid yet :/

Dante's starting to walk over.

That was epic, Salone. Triggered my giggles-at-the-atrocities responses. @_@
