Antonio would arrive in the grand hall of the palace, in the presence of Insana and Tera. "Insana! I need your urgent attention!" Antonio blurted out as he approached the throne. In another flash of light, Antonio turned in surprise as he was now looking at K2323 who had just arrived at the other end.
"What is the meaning of this!" Tera yelled. "Insana?"
-
"Right then," K2323 stated, Genesis Staff still in hand, a white aura still around him, "Where were we? Pardon me, the b-"
He paused. His memories from his time as an embodiment were mostly gone due to the face that he and the embodiment had split when the embodiment died. However; something was odd about all of this. He knew that he was in the presence of an embodiment. The question was, which embodiment was it?
"Pardon me, your grace," he stated, glaring back and forth between Tera and Insana, trying to distinguish which one was the embodiment, "This guy here has something that doesn't belong to him, and we were settling our differences. I did not mean to intrude."
He glared at Antonio. "I would suggest we end this now."
-
"Countess, please deal with the General. I'll handle the Sage." Insana commanded. In a puff of purple smoke Insana was next to K2323. "Lets talk." Insana said. The enviornment around Insana and K2 began to melt away to the desolate landscape of deep Dementia.
------------------------
Tera Lazily got up, and walked towards Antonio. "Everytime Antonio... everytime you arrive, something always has to follow you hear doesnt it." she says fustrated with him.
"Maybe I just have that affect on people." he replies jokingly.
In a swift motion, Antonio found himself pinned against the wall by his neck by Tera. "Listen Demon... Insana may put up with your bullshit, but I will not allow you to manipulate him like so many others you cretin." she yelled at him.
"Your Grace, please clam yourself." he replied in slight fear.
"No." she shouted back. "I know you more than you know. That Sage was after you i assume?" she asked.
"Kind of..." he replied.
She responded by slamming him back into the wall. "Bullshit." she said,.
"Alright, alright. I have his sister's soul. Ms. Hikaru Tyris' soul to be exact." he confessed.
She simply shook her head in disappointment. "You never know when to stop. Give me a reason not to end you right now." she said.
"Truthfully? Because i outrank you, Tera. You are an Agent of Insanity. I am an Agent of Destruction. Therefore, you, being the subordinate power, are under me in the great ancient hierarchy." he explains. "And as an Agent of Destruction, I can and will order you to stand down when Insana returns. Mark my words Mikami. This is much bigger than you."
-
"Right," K2323 replied, now certain that Insana was the embodiment as they shifted into deep Dementia. The question was, what embodiment was he? Confusion? No, the feeling he had was more chaotic... Only, it wasn't CHAOS that he was feeling, so what was it?
"I presume you knew me when Fatet and I were one in the same, sir," K2323 noted, "As such, I hope you may show me the same respect that you showed her, seeing as there was a time when she and I were one in the same. That said, the one named Antonio. He has my sister's soul. He received it from Radical, who stole it from her."
-
"From your look, you are trying to determine which embodiment i am, i assume i am correct." Insana says, ignoring K2's statement for the moment. "I am Insana Primoris... the Embodiment of Insanity." he introduces himself. "And as for your sister's soul, why was she not able to protect herself from Radical? I believe this is Hikaru Tyris we are talking about, correct?"
-
The embodiment of insanity. Well, that was interesting. Of course, it made this particularly more troubling. Dealing with this guy would be tough. Things like ration probably would not matter to him. So, how would one approach this kind of situation?
"I do not know the exact details," he replied, "If I understand correctly, she was tricked by Radical. I believe she was originally traded to Radical from some enemy who managed to defeat her. Make no mistake, sir, we can be defeated. It's just... Not easy. My sister is weaker than I am, after all."
-
"Survival of the Fittest Mr. Tyris... If General Stradivari requires the use of her soul, then who am i to take it away?" Insana replied.
-
"Of course," K2323 replied, "I understand that you are bound by very powerful, ancient laws that prevent you from interfering on this sort of thing. There was a time when you could chose to ignore those laws. However; after the Plexan war, I'm afraid you are probably less willing to go out on a limb for me. All I ask is that you do not give this man refuge, sir. Let he and I settle our differences."
-
"One which you are correct to assume. While i am not the biggest fan of order, the ancient embodiment laws are the exception... well most of them. " he gives a slight smile. "However, if it is differences you wish to settle, may i be so bold as to propose something?" Insana asked.
-
"By all means," K2323 replied, raising his eyebrow.
-
"If you can accomplish a simple task, you will be able to settle your differences in a court of battle." Insana proposed. "Knowing you, and knowing him, it should be an interesting fight indeed."
-
"A simple task?" he asked. "What simple task?"
-
"There is a book that i want to read." Insana says. "Go forth to the Records of Time, and check out the book on The Embodiment of Revenge. As i do not require the actual book, you may bring a suitable copy. Is this agreeable?"
-
"Fine," K2323 replied, rolling his eyes, "I'd bind you to a blood contract but for some reason I feel it'd be useless even if you had real blood to speak of."
And with that, he shut his eyes. No, he was not actually leaving -- it was very possible that if he did, Insana wouldn't allow him to enter again -- but he instead began to concentrate on creating a holographic form of him. Where? Somewhere else. Somewhere far off.
-
"Happy that we can come ti an agreement." Insana says.
-
Days had passed, and K2323 had grown tired of trying to find Jay, being the busy Templar he was, but finally, Jay appeared with a poof, a silver glow echoing off his body as he held a bottle of scotch in one hand and wore a sombrero upon his head. He was a bit surprised about his surroundings and, realizing this, disappeared for a brief second before reappearing with less party attire.
"'Sup!" he greeted Insana and K2323, walking over to give his old friend K2323 a bro-hug. "I don't usually make house calls to embodiments, but, y'know."
-
OOC: Lyokkoooo
-
"Ah yes... Greetings Agent of Time. I am Insana Primoris, the Embodiment of Insanity." he introduced himself. "I have a book i would like to check out from the records."
-
"Right, yeah, well, I can't let you just, y'know, check a book out, that messes with the whole neutral-timey-balance-of-power-thing. I can maybe give you some help, I guess. What book d'ya want?" Jay questioned.
-
"Its the one about the Embodiment of Revenge..." Insana said. "I have a very keen interest in what he has been up to recently.'
-
"Yeah," Jay replied, "I think that's exactly what I'm not supposed to do, yo. That would get me in some real trouble with the Lady, if you catch my drift. Why, what's going on with this embodiment guy? Revenge, you say? Haven't met him, sounds like he throws an awesome party, though," he explained as the book appeared in his hand, his eyes darting across the pages, reading about the recent attacks.
-
"Call me crazy, but i do believe that revenge is mounting a war on the plane." Insana said. "He came to my Ballroom in the Planes to recruit my help, to which i denied considering my deep infatuation for the Lady's sister, Skye."
"Now, i know that last thing you and Lady Time would want is for her dear sister to feel the pain that will soon come, correct?"
-
Jay couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Listen, mate, if you're going to try to guilt me into giving you this book, it's not going to work, but seeing as this guy's messing with the plane, it's your lucky day, 'cause now I kinda have to help. Y'know, being a Templar and all. I can't just go off and give anyone who wants a book, though, I'm not a library, bro. But I can go with you and help you deal with whatever problems you've got with this guy, I think I need to have a little talk with him myself."
-
OOC: Lyokooooo!
-
"Well, if you are willing to stay for dinner, I can get him to come." Insana says confidently.
-
"Sounds like a smashing good party," Jay replied, "Will you be joining us too, K2?"
"Maybe not," K2323 replied darkly, "It's... That shouldn't be happening... I have a... Problem to take care of." He was visibly disturbed. "Embodiment. I trust our agreement has been reached and I can carry on with my business with the demon you're harbouring. Please, do keep an open door for me to return once I've taken care of my little problem. I thank you for your hospitality."
With that, K2323 disappeared, leaving Jay with Insana. "RIGHT then. Let's party with Revenge, shall we?"
-
If K2 was trying to go anywhere within the realm he would only find himself back infront of Insana. However, he was free to leave the realm if he chooses. "Righto." said Insana. "I'll send out the invitations! It'll be such a lovely night. Do you have any agents of Time you'd wish to invite?"
-
"Party of one," he replied. "You know, we could always just take the party to Revenge, instead of bringing Revenge to the party. And-" he stopped, opening up a small note that K2323 had passed to him earlier during their bro-hug. "Right. What's the deal with this Antonio guy causing trouble?"
-
"Hasnt been causing trouble here..." Insana assured him. "Whatever Antonio does in South is his own business, and none of ours. The place of eternal torture is not really a place a look into people doing bad stuff. Its a tradition i think." he looked around. "But yeah. Alot of people want to talk to him, so i figured id make a game out of seeing who gets to see him first."
-
"IIIIII HEARD SOMEONE SAY PAAAAAAARTYYYYYYYYYY~!"a voice rang out with a musical note. A poof or purple smoke and a man in a dress appeared. His skin was charcoal with red markings, the whites of his eyes were black with red irses staring back at whoever looked. Her hair spikes back and a tuft of hair on one side layering over the spikes.
She looked around and frowned"Did I miss it or am I too early?"
-
"I'm not much for games," Jay replied, "Except poker. And scrabble. In any case, this guy's pissed off a lot of people, myself included, and you need to stop protecting him. He's interfering with the will of m'lady Asura herself, and you know as well as I do that we don't want to get the misses involved. He's my problem, and if you let me handle him, I will help you with Revenge."
Turning to face the new arrival, he studied him closely, his face unusually serious.
-
"While i am fully aware of Lady Asura's position, I am also aware of her stance on neutrality. She dares not interfere with the politics of the mortals, or embodiments... or kittens, i believe. Definitely kittens." Insana says. "But as for General Stradivari, he has committed no crimes, nor broken any laws on these lands, and whatever it is that he has done in South, is his business, and should stay in South. I've no reason to extradite him to the custody of Time, nor to anybody else. This land is full of refugees, madmen, criminals, and others like him, but they accept the blessing, and are saved from their past."
"Oh, and this is Agwu... The Grand Embodiment of Trickery! She loves kittens...." he said, and snapped his fingers. Kittens began to rain from the sky, as did pink gum. "What were we talking about?"
-
Agwu jumps around"Yaaaaaaaay kittiiiiiies!" He catches a few, others landing on her head or back. He sits down, playing and cuddling with the kittens as they mewled and stumbled about. "It's raining cats, no dogs, and bubblegums!"Agwu says with excitement. She catches some gum and blows up a bubble, only to find he himself is turning into a bubble.
A few kittens ride the bubble and others paw at it, agwu float bouncing around in a little areas where the kittens were. "wheeeee~"
-
Catching a kitten, Jay began to pet it as he replied, "He's carrying stolen property. Asura may be neutral in most embodiment affairs, but you would be wise not to piss her off, or she may feel perfectly justified in making an exception. Besides. The Templars are not neutral. Listen, mate, all I'm asking is for you to give Hikaru her soul back, y'feel me? There's no need to continue this pointless cycle." Petting the kitten, he sighed, "Oh, by the way, I think my mate Halsey would like an invitation, he's quite a smashing mate, crazy drunk too."
-
"As far as i know, the soul in question was taken by Lucifer under the ancient laws of the afterlife. She made a deal with the devil, and payed the price of it. It wasnt stolen. It was taken as payment from what i can see." Insana said. "But if you must see the General, you must wait your turn, as 3 other parties are waiting."
Pivoting on his heel, he turned around and began to walk into the fields ahead. "Come along, Agent of Time." he called back to him. "You too Agwu."
-
Agwu "popped" and splattered into a puddle. "Okaaaaaay!"she replies, forming back into the humanoid form he was in when he entered the room. She picked up as many kittens as she could and carried them about, some on his shoulders, one on her head, and a few more in his arms, and followed Insana.
(why can't I hold all these kittens?! :c)
-
Following silently, he thought about what he must do. Jay didn't know much about Hikaru, but he'd watched her as she had been dragged off by Radical's henchmen, and hell, he felt it important to help if he could. He shrugged, deciding the only thing to do for now was to play along. He didn't want to get Lady Asura involved, but he was tempted now to invite her to this party. Turning to take notice of Agwu, he nodded towards the man... Embodiment... "Sorry about that, mate. I'm Jay, how'd you do?"
-
"M'name's Ahgwoooooooooooo~!"Agwu starts up. "I'm feeling great! And you, good sir?"she asks him.
-
"Fantastic," Jay replied, holding up his bottle of Scotch, "Cheers."
-
"Indeed." Insana said. He stopped and scratched his head. "Aha!" he shouted. The scene quickly melted in the vast landscape of the city of Insania. "Never much of a fan of walking. Oh, and i sent the invites out."
-
"Insanaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I got this paper from out of nowhere! what is it?"Agwu asks and then he gasps. "Is it a bill?! Oh noes! I hope I didn't leave the waterfall running again!"She said in a worried tone, opening the envelope. Fireworks spewed out of the paper container and hit Agwu in the face, skin color changing to a white shade. "Oh hey! whoo~ What a relief! It's a party invite! So where's this party....... Oh cool, it's in New Dementia! Wait... Oh yay! I'm already here!"Agwu says, talking to no one in particular.
-
Jay sighed, scratching his head at how... Weird all of this was.
"Right," he commented, "Show us what ya got, you old dog."
-
Insana swiveled around the countess people in the rushing crowds of the city. "Slow day..." Insana commented and led the way through the crowds. "The palace should be this way... or was it this way." he looks over to his left. "Agwu, where is the palace?"
-
Agwu looks around"uhhh.... Hmmmm....." She looks left and right and up and down. He twirled in a circle"I thought it was always where the sky looked funniest. Did it move?"he asked. "oh wait! There it is!"she said, pointing to a tall building behind them.
-
Jay wasn't sure what to make of all the madness, but he just opened up the Scotch and started drinking. "Alright, where are the chicks? We've got to have babes! What's a party without babes!?" He turned, looking at Agwu. Wait, what gender was this guy, anyway?
