A god came to Alhambra

[srwu_npc2]

Like if having one androgynous non-human around wasn't enough, suddenly without any prior warning (but with much fanfare in the form of flashing lights and other supernatural special effects) a strange person descends from the skies and starts looking around the Unity Group base like he owned it.


"I place my feet on this ground, transient facilities erected above it. So this is the shape humanity's resistance against fate has taken. To think Kagura would take her small form and relocate it to a place where many human frailties, taken together, result in strength..."

Say hello to the most powerful of the Executors, Minogame. If you can discern just what the hell he's talking about that is.

... That's nice. But can you please get off my flowers right now.

[Volya had a very clipped tone. He was already struggling to keep them alive as is. Sure thanks to Sarah he was able to get a bit more water for them and ration it out a bit AND didn't have to split it even further since Hetepheres managed to find a way to get Interitus some. Now he has one of the possible crazy people who Major Kagura was probably talking about walking all over them and talking in ways that reminded him of people he would rather not be thinking about.]

[srwu_npc2]

"Certainly."

Minogame floats off the flowers, which immediately raise up as if no foot trampled them just a second ago.

"Ephemereal taking care of the ephemereal. It is fitting, isn't it?"

[mistaken_for_monster]

[He just sighs, moving over to check on them carefully.]

Yeah... I guess... whatever that means...

You're an Executor like Major Kagura?

[srwu_npc2]

"In the battle of destinies, I cast my lot with the small. This decision does not define me, not more than any other."

[break_the_nine]

Oh... my... gosh....

ITS A FAIRY!

[Leos points excitedly at Minogame, suddenly walking closer to... him? Her? Whatever. He carefully pokes at the elite Executor.]

Tell me all of your secrets fairy...

[srwu_npc2]

"A fairy, I am not."

The poke stops as your finger is met with resistance a second before touching Minogame. A force field?

"Unlike some you may have grown acquianted with, I do not hide my true nature."

[break_the_nine]

[Leos pouted at the forcefield, then he poked it a few more times out of curiosity.]

Huh? What? I'm sorry... I was kinda distracted by this thing...

[Poke. Poke. Poke.]

You have a force field. That's awesome.

[majestic_keiki]

You're not much for clarity, are you?

[srwu_npc2]

"Clarity exists in the eye of the beholder. By enjoying a moonlit lake, you create waves on its surface."

[majestic_keiki]

People generally don't create ripples by sight.

[prismphantom]

[Well that was certainly a flowery speech right then and there. Though saying "small" was curious.]

You were the Executor who helped break into the Shaft during the Sunken Bishop incident, no?

[srwu_npc2]

"Whilst Kagura trampled the prayers, becoming a new idol? Yes. It was I."

[prismphantom]

"Trample" seems right, considering how she goes about everything.

So what's cause for this visit? A transfer or does the Graveyard's top brass feel we need another ace in hole here?

[keep_your_dignity]

[And on the other side of the base, Kagura suddenly stops cold. By the pricking of her thumbs, something infuriating this way comes. She turns on herself and walks towards Minogame's entry point with huge, fast strides until she finds him - and stays there, a couple strides away, easily double the creature's size]

MINOGAME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE. UNITY IS MY ASSIGNMENT AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN AN OFFICIAL EXECUTOR.

[srwu_npc2]

"Ah, Kagura. I'm pleased to see you as well."

"Isn't it amazing? A single human may be powerless and almost insignificant, yet humans have the right to exercise their own free will. If they can, why should I not?"

[keep_your_dignity]

BECAUSE YOU'RE A CATASTROPHE IN WAITING. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I'M NOT THE ONLY THING YOU NEARLY SEND TO THE JUNK YARD.

[Kagura stops for a short while. Nobody can be absolutely still like Kagura can]

THOUGH I SUPPOSE YOU GOT IN MUCH BETTER STANDING AFTER THAT NIMBUS STUNT. RAIDING A SHAFT SINGLEHANDED MUST HAVE THE BRASS EATING OUT OF YOUR HAND.

[ships_full_of_missiles]

You sure talk funny, mister!

[srwu_npc2]

"Words are a mirror of the soul. The essence changes depending on the observer."

[ships_full_of_missiles]

Yep!

Say, are you a tourist? Or a new recruit?

[armowrpiercing]

You're one strange human.

[srwu_npc2]

"I could respond by saying the same."

[armowrpiercing]

"I'm not one of those clumsy things."

[abugslife]

Minogame, I presume.

I must admit, I expected someone taller.

[srwu_npc2]

"You seem unimpressed. Plants grow strong and then wane. So do mountains, all in their own tempo."

[abugslife]

Do I give that impression? Most champions of Geb carry themselves with majesty appropriate for their status, but I know better than to underestimate someone by appearance.
