A Lost Fortune

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

OOC: Continously posting that "Oh, hey, looky here, something unexplained happens! It couldnt possibly be a spy!" doesnt count as trolling? Grah, whatever.

Lady Corvis continued to rebuild Rychart's body, pulling pieces of metal out and healing burns all the like. "Well, you're lucky Rychart." She muttered. "It missed your spinal column and it didnt hit anything vital."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

He laughs and he lies on the ground next to her. "You never did have a good bedside manner, Corvis."

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"Oh I'm sorry." She says sarcastically. "I meant 'you're going to be alright, it was just a scratch." She says in a simperingly sweet voice, laced with sarcasm.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

"Heh, im glad i didnt die back there before i got another chance to do this." he holds up his middle finger jokingly, and smiles. "Thanks Corvis" he said with genuine gratitude.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

She shrugged it off. "We have to look out for one another, especially now that everything has gone to hell." She said, getting up. "But you'd better not strain it or there'll be some internal hemorrhaging." she warned before looking at Jarrek. "So what now?"

[@Pokemon Master Red]

Jarrek sighed, thinking for a small while, before saying,"We must gain some form of backing. I loath to say it, but we are down one Lord and our combined fleets are a mere shadow of themselves. Without allies, we will be destroyed, assimilated into other gangs, or our best case scenario would be replenishing our forces over a long, long time."

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

She sighed. "Well who do you suggest? We cant ally with the Anrufe, we've already attacked Zarethian and Mechera shipping.." she said, looking at the floor and sitting in the spinny command chair.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Rychart sits up and leans on Corvis' chair. "New Dementia maybe?"

[@Pokemon Master Red]

"I've no will to ally with one of the big empires either, and I'm sure they'll not be pleased with the prospect of allying with pirates such as us. But its quite possibly our only chance." He said, when Rychart made his suggestion. "Perhaps...But while they would certainly be a boon, we would need more than just their support. They've few ships to spare or reinforce us with. I've no wish to strain resources from one who'd agreed to ally with us...So I do not think JUST them. Their help, if they would spare it after we ask, would definitely be useful, however."

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"If we're looking for large empires, there are four or so that I know of. The K Empire, Mechera, Ferrarians and the... The Zarethians." She said, letting the bitterness flow through her voice.

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

He smirks. "I am a Prince in their realm, remember."

[@Pokemon Master Red]

Jarrek nodded, grinning. "Then you'll be the one to do most of the talking when we ask them, my friend. The Mechera are powerful, though they lack a major presence, while the Zarethians are the largest Empire around and also do have a large Fleet, but I don't know if they'll work with us due to...Relations between them and you, Corvis. I must admit, I know little of the K Empire or the Ferrarians."

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"If I'm right, the Zarethians and the other groups are allied. If, by chance we convince one, we may be able to convince them all."  She shook her head. "But its rather.. humiliating coming back like this."

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

"thats an understatement..." He says as he rubs his shoulder.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

"But, if we want revenge I suppose its necessary... Unfortunately." She mutters bitterly

[Admiral Regis Hermitage]

Rychart looks up at Corvis with a sudden shock. His eyes grew wide as he came to the current realization. "We left a man behind..." he said very silently.

"We left behind Erath and Aislin!!!!" he shouts. "No, no, no!" he hops up and starts to pace around in a tiight circle.

"I must have left them in the confusion. No, this cant be happening. Ive never left anyone behind!" he continues to shout. "We need to go back for them!"

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

Corvis stood up and pushed him back down. "In your state you cant afford to go back for them and for that matter, neither can we! We are virtually stranded here until further notice, do you understand that?!"
