Quick question, how does a 2nd oath Skybreaker wield a Shardblade? I thought they got their blades on the 3rd oath?

Aiwass looked at her. She didn't like having to actually do anything, it was much more interesting to watch other people do things. Of course, once they learned about her properly they might start struggling to come up with something, which might become interesting later on? Finally she shrugged. "Sure," she said. "Are we going to all attack the same place or do we split up in teams, hit multiple places?" Silently she wondered how she'd deal with her base in that case. Just killing everyone inside one by one might cause some interesting reactions, but there was a good chance it would just be tedious. Maybe she should just blow the whole place away in one go? That way she could just cast a spell for a minute or so and then go home and call it a day.

KanMien simply looked at her, face expressionless. Deep inside she felt glad she had managed to prevent Kumiko from coming along for this. There were certain things that she didn't need to see. Silently she walked over to the table next to the woman, unpacking the roll she had brought with her, lining up various spikes, hammers, syringes, drugs and knives. "Officially, yes." She finally answered the woman, little emotion audible in her voice. "The higher-ups want answers for why you took the actions you did, as well as information on your group." For a second a small smile was visible on her face, but it disappeared as quickly as it had come. "Of course, that's the official stance. Unofficially... You killed a number of acolytes, and I haven't like you lot ever since your involvement with the Den of Thieves. Personally I think you deciding not to answer would be a nice bit of catharsis. Also..." she smiled again, tapping one of the spikes. "There's the small matter of some group in R&D wanting to do some experiment, and they figured this would be a good opportunity. Now personally I figure that having our captive go insane before extracting meaningful info would be a waste, but they pulled in some favours. So... to answer your question, I don't think anybody cares that much about what you choose, except maybe for you, since it'll avoid wasting time on all this."

Aiwass looked briefly at the girl exiting the room. A mage, huh, she thought. Too bad that she's polluted with too much other powers, she would have been interesting otherwise. Smiling she sat down as well, crossing her legs. "That would be helpful," she said. "It will also make it easier for me to understand if there's anything I can do to help."

"Ah, no, that shouldn't be an issue," Aiwass said, waving her hand. "Just because she has access to my weakness doesn't mean she can actually use it, at least not in her current state. I guess she could hurt me if she tried, but she couldn't defeat me. And if she can't do it the God Complex can't either." She shrugged and walked into the room Leila had indicated, looking around at who else was present.

"Ooh, that certainly sounds interesting," Aiwass said with a smile, clapping her hands. "So the other gods have taken notice as well, huh?" She stepped inside. "Well, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do myself, but I might be able to arrange for some things. After all, the one person holding my weakness is currently employed by them as a mercenary. I could give you some information on them so it's easier to defeat them, or convince them to aid you instead." "As for that story," she continued to Leila in a softer tone, "You don't need to worry about that, since I already wrote it down myself. Of course, nobody has ever been able to decode it." She smirked slightly. "Well, I would be interested in meeting whichever human was smart enough to do that, if one ever appears."

Aiwass smiled, looking at her. "Leila," she muttered. "Goddess of literature, history and tales." Her smile broadened, and she gave a small curtsey. "Aiwass," she said, introducing herself, "Though you might already know that. Still, nice to meet you." She paused for a bit. "As for why I'm here..." She tilted her head slightly, thinking of how to explain it. "Well, I'm not entirely sure myself. One of my abilities sometimes guides me to certain locations or people that could interest me. When I arrived here I noticed a large gathering of gods, so I decided to check it out."

Aiwass looked around, wondering where they were. They had travelled here on a whim, guided by their instincts, but they had no clue where they had actually ended up. Smiling slightly they formed a body around themselves. Long white hair flowed down, light seeming to refract in it, while their clothing was formed by a simple white gown which somehow evoked the image of a human sacrifice from times long past. They held their hand in front of them, and light shimmered as the air turned reflective. Contemplating for a bit they altered their face slightly, going for a female body this time. She paced around a bit, looking at her surroundings, small hints of static showing on her body a few times. "I guess I should find out what's here?" She muttered. She moved her hand through the air, cards having appeared in them at some point, the cards being hung in the air as her hand moved. On the cards symbols were visible: Magus, Hierophant, Hermit, Star. She snapped her fingers, and the cards shattered, the pieces whirling around, reforming into a map of the area, with one particular point being highlighted. "Hmm, I guess that could be interesting?" She muttered. "It isn't often that so many gods gather." Smiling she started walking in the indicated direction, ignoring the static running through her body. Eventually she stopped in front of a door, feeling a number of beings inside. With a bright smile she knocked on the door. "Hello there!" She called out. "Is anybody home?"

Finished up my drawing of Aylitha:

Yeah, those got taken out a few years ago, and weren't actually really used, except in a few cases. We did/do have negative ranks though, but you can't reach them anymore. There are still some ancient accounts of trolls floating around the shard though which managed to get really low with their rep.

Alice walked into the room, seeing a man in power armor holding someone up against the wall. "Did something happen?" She asked with a sigh. "Everyone in the building could hear you yelling." She looked at the man currently being held against the wall. "Also, if you want him to answer you you might want to consider releasing him, he can't really talk with his throat pressed shut, and if you keep him up any longer he won't be able to answer you ever again, given that he'd have choked to death."

Mizuki stared at the scene, trying not to throw up, and moved back a bit more, trying to hide behind Bardabos. At the same time a faint silver aura slowly became visible around her, while the darkness seemed to conceal her to some degree. "Um, Hayate Mizuki," she said with a slight tremble in her voice. "...Nice to meet you... I'm... I guess I'm a moon goddess?"

Mizuki smiled uncomfortably. "Um, alright..." She hesitantly said, while wondering what she had gotten herself into. Someone called Sunshine who was considered insane and depraved by the god of death. She had a feeling this was going to be a really interesting meeting, in the Chinese sense of the word.

A hospital. Mizuki stiffened, understanding Bardabos' fury. A small voice in her head questioned why a god of death would have a hospital, but she ignored it. "Given that you seem to know their locations, does that mean your organization has the same level of power as the God-Complex?" She asked, curious. "Or are you pulling in men from different areas to make up for the difference in power?"

"C-1?" mizuki muttered in a questioning tone. She looked uncomfortable at the order Bardabos had just given. "Can they actually do that?" she softly asked. "Would your organization really know all their hiding places in that area, and be capable of defeating them? I mean, if they weren't capable of dealing with something like that they wouldn't be such an issue, right?"

Mizuki looked at the building in amazement, wondering how Bardabos managed to build something like this. Looking around she saw Bardabos walk on, and she quickly followed after him through the lobby. She looked at the men walking around, wondering if they were armed. Given the situation she guessed they must be, though the idea still felt weird to her. It almost made her feel as if she was in some weird Yakuza building. Still, if they did have weapons they might have a shooting range as well. She doubted they would have proper bows there, but it might still give her a place to practice. Still lost in thought she followed Bardabos into the elevator, standing in a corner behind him.

Mizuki watched as Barbados began to leave. She knew that once he was gone it would be very difficult for her to find him again, and she had a feeling that it might be a really bad idea for her to be alone in the future. And of course, it was also the best opportunity to learn more about her abilities, about where they came from, and this world they landed her into. On the other hand though... She looked around, gazing at the corpses scattered around the room. It was obvious that Barbados would get in more fights like these, and if she joined him she would have to kill people as well. Still, if she was alone, she might still have too, but without any allies... Finally she stood up, and quickly ran after Bardabos, hoping she wasn't making a mistake. When she was standing behind him she spoke softly. "I'll join for now," she said. "But if I feel that your pantheon isn't the right place for me I will leave you. Is that okay?" @Darth Woodrack

I do really like destroying pineapples. I even use my mouth for it, just to make it a bit more horrifying for them.

Sorry, I'm contractually obliged to hate pineapples...
