The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen(And others)

OOC: You hittin the hay?

[What a productive event.]

OOc.Well, at 0140ish, i think its time...
IC:
Elise: What an overstatement...

[Well you got a date.]

Elise: right, i prefer to call it information gathering....

OOC.Skip to ship? or entering cyra orbit?

*Lets go entering cyra's planet's orbit.*

*well, they enter cyras orbit*
Elise: Right, any questions?

[Am i accompanying you? Into a hive city?]

Elise: Dont know, are you? Actually, probably yes. Escort me there, then once i am "safeish", go and investigate the city

[I will almost certainly cause mass panic.]

Elise: And that is why you will have silvine with you

[Oh i'm sure that will help immensely.]

Elise: Oh, you underestimate her....

[What is more normal than a death machine and a little girl]

Elise: A little girl riding a death machine. Alternatively, you can just stay up here and make your echo whatever...

*Shrugs his massive shoulders* [I'll terrorise civvies. And she is not riding me.]

Elise: Take that up with her....

[Tell her no]

Elise: Nope, thats your issue. I have a date to prepare for after all....

[I suggest fully encasing powered armour.]

Elise: Like hell do i want to break that thing out of the box again.... Do you have any idea how troublesome it is to maintain and repack it? Besides, i doubt it would help much...

[Probably not. If she wants you, she'll get you.]

Elise: We'll see about that, but she is unlikely to try with brute force.... its against style points...

*Giant robot man shrug*

Elise: Well, anyway. Complimentary wine, or fruit basket? which one do you think is in order?

[I assume she has much of both. She basically owns a planet.]

Elise: Thats not the point. Its called complimentary for a reason....

[Thats not what that word means. You mean gift.]

Elise: Yes.... gifting something...to compliment them... "hey, great ball you have here. here, have some wine as appreaciation"

[No, complementary means, free with something else. For example, you get a hotel room there is free wine in the room, that wine is complementary. Unless words have changed drastically since i was around.]

Elise: ......probably...

*Shrugs* [Give her some flowers.]

Elise: Dont have flowers.... wine it is... theres a shuttle waiting for you in the hangar. ill take my own...

*Giant robot shrug, then walks towards the hangar.*

*well, they go on their merry way, i guess. and after getting landing instructions for herslef, so does she*

*from the window of her shuttle, she sees a city, vast and dark sat spread across the land surrounding a cresent bay, gothic crenellated spires pierce the heavens, and low warehouses and hab blocks cling to the ground. A smaller, inner city, of high towers and glass domes sits on an island in the bay, Great bridges span out from the island like spokes of a wheel, it is obvious to her where the power is.*

Elise: I wonder where she might be...... servitor, land us on that island...

*Waiting on the landing pad, are six guardsmen, standing at attention in dress uniform, Gray trousers, with navy blue jackets, and white trim.*

OOC. how did you put img tags around it n a way that they actually show up?!
IC
Elise:*disembarks* .....wasnt expecting a welcoming committee....

OOC: fuck if i know.

Guardsman: "lady inquisitor." *snaps a salute.*

Elise: *as per Aquarius tradition, snaps a fist to the chest salute back. also, im pretty sure that IG do the aquila like everyone else* ......I was unaware of any welcoming committee waiting for me..

Guardsman: "Madame Malacira informed us of your imminent arrival."

Elise: .....who?

Guardsman: "Madame Malacira. Cyrillia Malacira."

Elise: ......*sigh* she really couldnt come up with anything better? Fine, lead the way

Guardsman: *nods, and leads the way across the pad, to where an atmoflyer is waiting. He opens the back door, and steps to the side.*

OOC. isnt that a she though?
IC:
Elise: So, tell me about what "Madame Malacira" has been up to here...

OOC: i was just showing the uniform.

Guardsman: "Uh... *caught off guard by the question.* I don't involve myself with politics Ma'am."

Elise: not politics. what changed since she took control?

Guardsman: *Takes a seat next to her in the atmoflyer, shuts the door, and it takes off* "In general Ma'am? She toppled the noble houses, along with another inquisitor, like yourself. Claimed they were heretics. Then seized their assets, and started public work projects with them."

Elise: And that little palace?

Guardsman: "Pardon?"
