The Lesser Evils. (Play is live!)

Okay! I finally updated the topic to Apply status. Remember. We are looking for 1 to 3 more people. Let's @Pascal or me know if you're interested! I can't wait to meet you!

The Lesser Evils. (Play is live!)

Apparently plans were falling apart left, right, center, and all over the place. It was no longer a group trip to the shady kink club. In fact, it didn’t even seem like much of a group at all. Yet another person had left. Who knew if she was coming back. Argenti certainly didn’t. He sighed exasperatedly as he ferried pastries, coffee, and files into the magical breakfast. Why was he even bothering? No matter. He had decided that ending the Outcasts was worth working with these people. So, he was going to be flexible and accommodating, even if it annoyed him to no end.

Argenti wasn’t even sure that Amelia’s club was even an option for him at this point. Juniper and Cain had both expressed an interest in looking over the files some more. And the succubus was willing to bet that Albert needed to stay and get his guests settled. It wasn’t like he could go alone. Well, he could, but it wasn’t wise. So, he was going to be stuck in this magical bed a breakfast that he was positive didn’t even have an address (Much less a Wi-Fi signal) for the foreseeable future. They wouldn’t get any freaking closer to killing the Outcasts by reading the files. Okay, maybe, but he doubted it.
He found himself asking, “Is this what we are doing for the rest of the day? Reading and eating pastries? Not that that is a bad plan. Not trying to judge or anything. Just want to know.

He was absolutely judging. Argenti was good at it, and he always liked playing to his strengths. He just thought waiting around reading things that The Detective had already read was not a completely smart move. He respected the fact that a different set of eyes attached to a different brain, might see something that another person might of missed, but he honestly didn’t think that it was going to be him seeing what had been missed. Though, and he had to be honest, the thought of placing different colored push pins into a giant map did seem kind of appealing. What was it called on all the crime drama shows? A geographical profile? Yeah! Argenti could do that. Though, again honesty time, The Detective had probably already done that.

He also found himself asking another question, [color=C0C0C0]“Do we need a team name? Or even a hashtag? It’s not like we can live tweet our actions. That would be a sure-fire way to let the Outcasts know that something is going on. Right now, since we know practically nothing, discretion is honestly our best bet. Yes?”

Argenti may not know if rereading the files would actually help, but he did know that. When he spotted someone with The Gift, he couldn’t just kill them. First, he had to find out all he could about them, their routines, their habits, their lives. And he couldn’t be seen or spotted or figured out until he finally took them away to kill them. The same thing applied here, with the Outcasts. This group of four need to figure out who the Outcasts were and how to dispose while remain undercover until it was time to strike. They wouldn’t be doing that if Juniper live tweeted the whole thing.

Hello everybody!

So, first off posts are due on 09/26/2022 (Which is the day before the last book in the Scholomance series comes out. I'm excited for that!)

Next, I would like to recruit at least one more person. Right now the way the dynamic is set up it's pretty much all the characters have to stick together and I was hoping to try and set up a couple different subplots up. I didn't have anything specific in mind. I just thought it would be cool. If anyone has a friend or someone in mind that might want to play have them message me or Pascal or mention them here! And shout out to anyone lurking. If you were reading and thinking, "This looks cool!" Drop us a line! It might take some work, but we could figure out a way to integrate your character.

That's all I have for now. Lots of Love!

Hello! It looks like we are slowly losing people. Which is fine. People have to do what's best for them. I am sorry that the deadline started stressing people out. It was actually meant to reduce stress while still making sure the story moved forward at a decent pace. I guess that did happen. Oops.

Anyways. Are the three of you having fun still? Do you want me to look for people to fill the empty spots or would you rather just move on just the four of us? Or do you want to just end it now? I'm really at a loss so I could really use your feedback.

Thank you!

Hello everybody!

Posts are due tomorrow. Just a reminder. I'm looking forward to all the posts!

As for @Pascal and her question. I actually have a shift scheduled for my birthday. I have yet to decide if I'm skipping it or not. I do plan to spend my "weekend" replaying Shadows of Almia, recoloring my hair, and getting way too much Chinese food. I might do an Argenti post on Tuesday. So, no real birthday plans. One of the cons of being an adult. Bleh.

Does anyone have opinions on calling out on your birthday?

Anyways. All the love!

Argenti didn’t really want a full party to go with him. Two was fine, but four others was not ideal at all. However, as Setepenre had said earlier, no one should be alone. Which meant they would either being doing things as a group or in two groups, one pair and one trio. They couldn’t leave Cain alone. That would not be ideal. And they couldn’t leave Albert alone. They really couldn’t leave Albert behind. He didn’t even have a phone! If Argenti had his way, it would be him, Cain, and Setepenre to hit up his contacts. Juniper and Albert could go get the angel a phone. However, Argenti wasn’t going to take charge of this group in any way shape or form. The mere idea made him shudder.

So, instead he shrugged, “Alright. Full party for the shady kink club.” He gathered a few files together, “We should clean up first if we are all leaving.”

It wasn’t really a shady kink club. No one here needed to know that. Amelia went to great lengths to make it seem like a shady kink club, and Argenti wasn’t going to be the one to ruin all her hard work. Besides, if people thought it was a shady kink club maybe they would back out of going with him. It was a kink club. It just wasn’t shady. Amelia used contracts, bouncers, and magic to ensure that it was the safest place in The City to explore kink. Consent was paramount. That was why it was Argenti’s favorite club in The City. It was fairly well known and spoke about in both the mundane and supernatural communities. Still, only members, and honorary members, like Argenti, knew that it was 100 percent consent based.

He finished gathering up the files and held them out, “I have no bag to carry these and no spatial magic to store them. Anyone have any ideas.”

They also needed to figure out what to do with the left-over pastries and coffee. There wasn’t an extreme amount of either. If the succubus had to guess The Detective had decided to buy enough that there were plenty of options so that way the seven guests wouldn’t need to fight over one specific pastries. Argenti supposed that they could offer the leftovers to the hotel staff but didn’t want to make assumptions about what the rest of the group might think. He did grab another one for himself, this one chocolate iced, but made no other moves towards them.

He also pulled out his phone to add Juniper’s number. He took a minute to go over the seven sins in his head. He couldn’t add her as JuniperG, G for gluttony, since Greed also started with a G. So, he added her as Juniper Gluttony. That was not her last name, but Argenti didn’t care. Eventually everyone would be added to his contacts with their first name and their sin. Argenti also took a key from Albert. His key had a lily on it. It probably didn’t mean anything. At least the succubus hoped it didn’t mean anything. He stuffed it in his pocket before he could think too much about it. There was no point.

As an announcement. Dragonfly 9 has decided to resign from the role-play. So there are 5 of us now. I will be slightly retconning things to says Ivan left at the same time Aodh did. I hope that is alright. As always please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your understanding!

Hello! So posts are due on 09/12/2022! Which happens to be 2 days before my birthday. Just so everybody knows.

That's all I've got to say.

As a reminder, posts are due today! I'm not planning on a post for The Detective, or anyone else for now, but that doesn't change the fact that we are still on a two week cycle. At some point tomorrow I'll post the next due date in the OoC. Please post or let me know why. I really do appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Have amazing days!

Argenti looked up from his current file as the group was asked about staying at the bed and breakfast. He knew that Cain had mentioned all of them staying there and that was a reason why the succubus shouldn’t. This Cain seemed to be attempting to take charge of the situation. Argenti was willing to work with these people. He didn’t need any of them trying to boss him around. Still, he didn’t have a place to stay right now. Since he had gotten to The City, he had been bouncing from place to place unless he was in the middle of taking care of monsters. It wouldn’t hurt to have a place to stay without having to worry about who would be trying to kill him. He didn’t trust anyone else in this group, not really, but he had a feeling he didn’t really have to worry about them until the Outcasts were gone and the Innocents were safe once again.

And it wouldn’t hurt for someone to take charge of their little group of five. At least Argenti thought it was five because two of them got up and left without saying a single word to anyone. Anyways the five of them had strong personalities they could either let someone take charge or spend all their time arguing and voting over what to do and then the odds of them getting anything done would be next to zero. It was just to deal with the Outcasts. Then Argenti could leave this City and never seen any of them every again. He could handle orders for that long as long as they were combat orders.

So Argenti grinned as he pointed at Cain, “Like the boss says, it would be wise to move this to someplace where we know we aren’t being watched.” He nodded at Albert, “I would be honored at pleased to spend time at your bed and breakfast. However,” Argenti stood and stretch his hands out to the ceiling, “Right now I have a few people I would like to talk to about the Outcasts and the Innocents. Does anyone want to come with me?”

Honestly Argenti made the invitation for two reasons. The first was that he didn’t want anybody thinking that he was hiding things. The second was that it wasn’t entirely safe to go alone. If the Outcasts realized that The Detective had brought in outside help the five of them were easily the biggest threat and it would be wise to eliminate them before they became and even bigger threat. However, that didn’t mean that Argenti thought anyone would take him up on his offer. He was prepared to go alone. That didn’t mean that he wanted to. He just could if he had to.

Then something happened that Argenti couldn’t describe. He had to grit his teeth to remain standing as what felt like a wave of magical energy crossed the city. The succubus knew that anyone with any real level of magic would feel it too. Something had happened, but he wasn’t sure what. He didn’t know enough about magic to know what. It felt almost like The Detective, so Argenti wasn’t too worried. Maybe it was some sort of prep for their Sleep. Maybe it was their Sleep itself. Whatever it was it marked the beginning of something, mostly likely the war between the Outcasts and the Lessers. Whatever it was it changed things.

Argenti laughed tightly, “I would appreciate it if someone came with me.”
