[Wraithblade6]

Alright. I'm writing. Will post soon.

[Kurai Assassin]

[Shoe Thief]

@Remipa Awesome

@Wraithblade6

Well then...Using part of one of my favorite movie quotes on me Eh? I'll post ASAP.

[Wraithblade6]

@Remipa Awesome

OMG I can't believe the timing. You get back, exactly AFTER I post. God!

So, are you ok with that I did?

[Shoe Thief]

What can I say, I am the god of awkward timings.

[Wraithblade6]

@AgentFallenSoul
So what is Llusia doing? Martin was talking to her about what was in the boxes, then he suddenly walked off to Lady Mo etc. Is she still there? In the shadows? Perhaps plotting to suddenly kill Martin and steal the boxes? Muahah... *cough*

[The Grey Dust]

I am afraid to be in character... Bedivere will kill Martin outright at this point :I

Unless Mithias would attempt to stop him, and I doubt anyone else present would.

[Wraithblade6]

Oh Akje posted again. Hmm. It does seem logical to kill him and either chuck the sunstone/bomb or leave the vicinity. Martin could also be made into a slave. Idk.

[The Grey Dust]

Well if I have permission from Akje to kill Martin...
In a Glorious, if not tongue in cheek, way as only Bedivere could possibly Provide.

[Wraithblade6]

I feel sorry for Martin, but I would enjoy reading that.

[akje]

You guys seem worried about the bomb. You should be. But not because you might get hurt.

Anyways I kinda rushed my last post from a mobile phone (hense the spelling errors) because of RL people waiting on me.
I see no one else has posted so if you guys don't mind I want to add a little something. i assume Bedivere doesn't hide his mood and is visually tempted to kill him? I'd like Martin to say one more thing...

Also to awnser your question on who would stop you: Mithias might but would likely be too conflicted, so I'd be dead before he had a chance to decide I was worth the hassle. Llusia however already has killed a vampire for Martin's sake. She probably values her curiosity over her respect for Bedi.

Martin is counting on it.

[The Grey Dust]

Well the issue is Bedivere could kill him right then and there.
Very few people could stop him right now in the night, given that Mithias has already blow out the lights.

As for Bedivere hiding his mood? Well Martin should have picked that up the very instant. He's being rather nice over his victory with Gabriel and thus has merely entertained Martin with speaking. However Once his bit is done, Bedivere would kill him outright as Martin did not follow his instructions in scurrying away :P

[akje]

Really? Is he that petty?
That would surprise Martin I guess.

If Bedivere cares more about putting a mortal in his place than he cares for
- Messagers safety
- a chance at immunity to sunlight
- a truckload of information, including how this strange mortal got all that info.
- what an ancient vampire like Llisana might do

Then that would surprise Martin as well as me, but you should kill him then.
If you do though, its normally the rule in this game you can never end someone jn a single post. Now, I've made a point out of that not being the case here. As Martin is mortal. Butif you do kill him I would like Martin to have a chance at last words.

Also, of course the coffin will explode, as well as some other things, but that won't happen till he's completely dead.

[The Grey Dust]

Well.

As a human, if an ant comes along crawling over your kitchen table with a bread crumb...

Do you question why it is doing here? Or do you give it some time to get out of your sight before crushing it with a newspaper?
And of course, Bedivere wouldn't care for his information as that would be a hollow victory.
What victory would it be if you used the tools granted by the enemy?

See the humans allowed the vampires a victory at that point, and there's a great shame associated with that.
So I'm afraid Martin will most likely die unless there is some compelling evidence that Martin is not a human at all.
Being cryptic and bargaining isn't a good approach in such a case when one's life is on the line :I

And as we know from Mr. Stone's interaction, Bedivere isn't above saying "Carpe Noctem" and letting whatever happens happen believing himself invincible.

[akje]

Hmm. He's getting emotional though.
If you see an ant you might squash it. But after studying one? If even for a second? What if you saw him do something ants don't do? Like speak or dance.

Are you saying Bedivere isn't the least bit curious?
If he feels threatened that's another thing. Or really angry even.
Killing Martin would be admitting to everyone he let a mortal get to him though.

Martin doesn't rely on mystery at this point. He assumes other vampires would look down on you for being petty and wastefull.

That or hope on Llusia endorsing him.
She very well might. And the possibility she might retaliate at the person who broke her new toy would give many vampires pause.
But I'm not sure if @AgentFallenSoul is going to be online any time soon -.-

[The Grey Dust]

Well, it is his Castle after all.
Martin shows up uninvited.
And not a vampire.

So letting him live would demonstrate Bedivere's sympathy towards humans?

[akje]

@The Grey Dust

Nah. It would demonstrate his intrest in the stone. You really shouldn't give a shit about weather Martin lives or dies. He claims to just be a messager after all. Personally I think a vampires aproach should be "why bother if they are going to die of stupidity or old age in a little while anyways."

Flying off the handle or killing mortals out of pride seems like a bit of a fledgeling thing to me.
But it's your vampire.

[The Grey Dust]

Well, it depends. A Messenger isn't a messenger when he care about saving his life given the amount of information he baits out there.
There is no reason why Bedivere shouldn't expect Martin to be either bluffing, or not the messenger at all.
To which, given that this human seems to have knowledge of vampires, there is no reason to be so dismissive of him.
He has seen them, understood their power, and attempted to bargain with them.

the "Why bother?" no longer applies as Martin is in far too deep to be brushed off as a stupid human.
Not a threat yet, but rather an annoyance to be nipped before it festers into something more.
Besides, if Martin was really smart, he'd just give the vampires what they want.

Since he hasn't, it's assumed he as some contingency plan to execute. Thus if we do not kill him, then he'd play us like chess pieces.
A fledging would kill without letting him speak. The fact that Bedivere allowed him to live this long was surprisingly noble of him.
That or he enjoys playing with his victory snack.

[akje]

oh hold up for a second.

I've been playing with the assumption the vampires can easily tell if he's bluffing. Whenever he hid anything or tried any form of deception I wrote about it so you can decide to act on it.

He isn't lying and Bedivere knows it. That stone is the real deal.
Martin doesn't expect the blast from the box to kill any of the vampires, but it will ruin the stone. And lastly he really is working for someone who send him along with all this stuf.

Also, Mithias and Llisia have seen Martjn not give a single fuck when other mortals were threatened. So there's a hint he isn't exactly on the human side.

[Wraithblade6]

I think what you need to do akje, is have Martin say what the sunstone is and what it does. Because all this time, he keeps,talking big, but has zero to backup his boasting. None of the vampires give a shot about a rock in a box. All they know is this human is threatening them with a mere bomb for the sword.
It would also help if you say a name for who Martin works for.
