[post baby ritual, the fridge has mysteriously been decorated with baby photos of Akrinak, Angel Devil, Azdaja, and Leviathan. look at how adorable you all are.

[Shadow Fiend is in and out all day doing chores, hunting, butchering, foraging, etc. as is her wont, but she may be occasionally caught in the kitchen, cooing over the baby photos.]

I'm glad that ritual's over, but you were all some pretty cute brats!

Finally he says, ]

What is this.

[SOME of us have no recollection of this ritual.]
pleasantmisery: (>////<)

[personal profile] pleasantmisery 2023-09-24 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't remember? There was a ritual where a bunch of people got turned into babies. I had pouch thing full of pictures from it afterwards, for some reason. Look, this one's you!

[points out a picture of baby Azdaja sleeping in a steak]

This is... also a good chance to tell you the rest of what I learned about the individual we conferred about, earlier today...

In a fit of pique at some point in the past, he seems to have, possibly accidentally, sworn himself to the service of a demonic master. The contract with this 'Malfeas' inflicts him with an irresistible geas to destroy; he says he will wreak havoc upon the pasture in a year and day, destroying and devouring until it is no longer extant as a community.

If it's all true... It seems persuasion is particularly useless in this circumstance.


He also said he's just as strong now as he'll likely be if we're all still here when that day comes, so I've issued a challenge to a formal duel to the death in an area clear of collateral to measure his mettle.

[personal profile] pleasantmisery 2023-09-24 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
You couldn't have challenged him to a duel to first blood instead? Or a knock out?

I mean, I'll bring you back if you do die, it just seems a little excessive...

If it's not life or death, we'll hardly learn anything of import. This isn't for fun.
pleasantmisery: (that's life)

[personal profile] pleasantmisery 2023-09-24 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess...

[she doesn't like it though :|]

Well, I'm gonna watch, so I can help deal with whoever loses. Should we tell Akrinak about it too, do you think?

[personal profile] finalbows 2023-09-24 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't see why not... He's done this sort of thing before on his own, anyway.

Honestly, shepherd mine, I'm not concerned, overmuch. I think this will be a learning experience as much for him as for us. He seems accustomed to great power, and those who are... can struggle to adjust this quickly.

In the event that it seems like my body may be destroyed beyond repair... I'll remove myself to the barn. I'm not losing it to do a chivalric favor for some random Weed. I'm not able to do much of anything else for a while after casting that spell, but... that's my plan.
pleasantmisery: (do we have to)

[personal profile] pleasantmisery 2023-09-24 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[nodding]

Alright. I'm still gonna watch, though, in case something goes wrong.

It was very cute how you thought that.

One of us had to be cute. I stand by what I said; you were way too suspicious.
strateelgic: (what)

[personal profile] strateelgic 2023-09-24 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Or perhaps you just don't know how to deal with children who didn't grow up in your world.
catposting: (smile - casual)

[personal profile] catposting 2023-09-24 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know how to deal with children that did grow up in my world. That's separate.

I'm sorry that fighting me would have ended up being such a disappointment.

I guess I should also tell you about the Patches and Stormy thing, huh? Not that it'll be relevant to your upcoming duel, exactly, but. It'd be good for you to keep in mind.

[personal profile] strateelgic 2023-09-25 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Not so round. I did have a tail.
