Demons - Night 01

[shimmershimmer]

[Returning to the true temple is like a breath of fresh air after having to put up with the Shimmering Lady's filthy lies all day. The Glimmering Gentleman is there waiting for you with that pearly-white smile that brightens up the room.]

I can see you've all had one heck of a wild day. Is there anything I can get you while you work things out tonight? Snacks, drinks?

If Kimblee's gamble worked, the Templar might protect him.

Even if we go after them and nothing happens because the Templar has decided to protect them, there's someone else taking people out, too. The Faithful won't notice a difference.

[culinarian]

[ He nods. ]

Exactly. I say we target those two and hope the Templar protects somebody else.

[irenicly]

With any luck, the Templar will protect Kimblee-san.

[fourleafcleaver]

I dunno how I feel about a plan that goes "hopefully the Templar will pick someone else." That doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence! Chances are, the Templar's gonna go for someone who outed themselves as something, so it could be Kimblee, or it could be Oswin and Bulat. I think we're better off and safer picking a little more randomly—"give them patterns where none exist," remember?

[irenicly]

Who would you suggest?

[fourleafcleaver]

No one in particular, I guess, just not somebody who stands out too much, importance-wise. That guy with the weird bird, the lady who decided she was gonna be everyone's attorney all at once, the one who was yelling about porn stars on top of the roof, um—whatsherface at the restaurant...

[irenicly]

[No, why would you suggest the comic relief?!]

.......That porn star guy was a little strange, you're right.

[fourleafcleaver]

A little? He got up on the roof, singled out the poor clothing store girl, and yelled at everybody about how he was gonna be a porn star in the middle of a real serious discussion!

And then he couldn't get down.

[irenicly]

[....you'll have to excuse Banjou, he had been trying to get as far away from that as possible. He didn't stick around for it beyond the whole "I want to be a porn star" thing.]

Targeting might throw people off tonight, but I still think going after people we know are bonded is the better choice.

[fauxlosophical]

I have to agree with Mr. Banjou in that regard - Oswin and Bulat would be the logical choice, despite the fact that it's something of a gamble.

...I also think it may be safest if Isaac and I target Fulbright tonight. In the event that he's the Avenger, we don't need him becoming overzealous in his quest for justice, do we.

[irenicly]

No. Let's nip that in the bud now.

[fauxlosophical]

We'll handle that, then.

[fourleafcleaver]

I think we're pressing our luck, but if you insist. Blocking Fullbright's definitely a good idea, though.

[skyentificmethod]

The faster we can take out the soulmates, the faster this can be over, and the more lives we can save. I think it's worth it.

[when the heck did she get here? look just don't worry about it]
