“I see.” Devaan muttered. Truth be told, Losing Mara was almost as hard on Devaan as it was on Max. ”I still duel, but I haven’t heard Max dueling after what happened. It’s partially my fault, I’m not exactly the best teacher for anything other than fighting. But Reshan wanted me to take care of the two twins, so I did, and I grew to love them both. Max used to be the quiet one, Mara was always getting them into trouble.” Devaan put away his knife and took out a bladed card. He reached into his pocket and took out a paint brush and some inks and began painting his card. “You seem pretty tough, any council member is pretty tough, what investiture do you use, if you mind me asking?”

“I’d love to, so long as I can make Hellbent promise not to ruin it. I can find your place, don’t worry, I’ll be happy to help with cooking, but Max probably won’t let me seeing how he, Mara, Silphio and Astiel all hated it” Devaan let out a laugh. ”Did you get to meet Mara? She would have liked you a lot.”

Devaan felt a stab of regret “I don’t know.” He said eventually. “I hope not, I don’t intend to. But I’m not always in control. I’m weaker than before, too, I don’t have my Aon cloaking, my heightenings and my Feruchemy.” “I didn’t mean to die. Not many people do. It was just another fight, against someone I had killed before.” Devaan subconsciously but his hand on his chest. He died of heart failure in the end.

“I saw you tangle with Myriad, Good work back there.” Devaan watched Althea closely Ah, She’s nervous, isn’t she. “Relax by the way, Max never worried about my disapproval, and either way, you seem like a great match for him.” Devaan fished something out of his pocket. It was a small note with a method written on it. ”This is how a full feruchemist can make spirit chains, it includes instructions on how to store aons and tap connection to the DOR, I imagine it would be helpful for a ghostblood? But regardless, back on topic. You might have some questions about me or how I died, I’m happy to answer any I can”

“Well we’ve got some time to kill. How’s Max? I remember you two talking in the DIDGERIDOO one time, I was pretty drunk then though, so it’s hazy, pretty interesting how things turned out with you two married.” Devaan absentmindedly took a small butterfly knife from his pocket and began twirling it around, it was a dexterity excercise that helped him focus. @Sorana

“No problem Thea.” Devaan calmly took out his katana and shoved it to the ground. He also shoved it through Benson’s leg. He took out some ropes and reused some of the lines from Sebastian’s attack and tied Benson to the katana and to a nearby pole. ”Don’t worry about releasing the lockdown by the way, when Solace developed the city, he allowed me and people I’ve granted access to enter at all times, as if I was a council member. It probably has something to do with me helping save Rhazien 17 odd years ago. He was nice like that” Devaan surveyed the area. ”Benson, how are these kids going to die. I need answers from you” @Sorana @beantheboy12

This is a Canton thing only, Jacien became an operator because he found Silphio in a week.

Kestraal, sergeant at the Canton of Combat walked into the tavern fight. His metal fabrial leg making soft clanks as he walked He snuck behind Jacien and opened a bendalloy bubble, tapping his nicrocilminds to make it so time nearly stopped for everyone outside of it. ”You’re needed in OASIS city, I’m here if you want me to teleport you back to the Canton of combat so you can get there and heal up” Kestraal passed Jacien a cloak that had the Canton of Combat insignia emblazoned on it. “20 kid’s lives are endangered by this guy called Benson. You need to save them, do you want to go now?” @Sunbringer

A Canton of Combat NPC is coming to the tavern to contact you about this now, he might join in the fight (the NPC that’s going there is super trigger happy) So if you need an out he can get you out.

“Elaborate, how will they die?” Devaan asked Benson. He then pulled out a radio communicator and changed to a hidden frequency. ”Send operator one to OASIS city, code orange, 20 children in danger, stand by for more information” @Sunbringer

Dammit Hellbent! I have this. He doesn’t need to die. He can’t die. Silphio granted him asylum in the Canton of Combat, I can restrain him and let him answer for his crimes, but I won’t murder him. But Devaan said nothing to Benson, deep down he had a feeling that this was a bluff, or orchestrated by Benson, if Hellbent went for the kill, Devaan wouldn’t stop him

Devaan snuck in and took control “This is Devaan, stop moving and get on the ground first, then I’ll restrain you and leave my katana embedded in you leg so you can’t get stormlight or move, I’ll then investigate this, understand?”

“My name’s Lenthenil Sarak, and I’m here because I saw a rusting train arrive.” The man with the bracelets said ”I’m Rudder, this is my son, Sammy, we’re happy to help you in any way possible” ”Mrs Wanstien Hasting, my granddaughter was on that train. Have you seen her?” The man clutching the spearhead remained silent.

“Of course.” Gallows sent an assistant officer to take them to the interrogation room, where five witnesses were lined up, there was on older lady, eyes ringed red from crying. A young man who seemed very irritated, bracelets adorned his wrists. A small child huddled next to her father, both scared, wearing formal clothing and a middle-aged man with a wild gleam in his eyes, he wore a tasseled cloak and scars lined his arms. He reverently clutched a spearhead.

Stop. This. Madness. I propose a truce for the next week between us two. This will be the last time I quote your post here. Agreed?

CURSE YOU! YOU FIEND! I HOPE YOU ACCIDENTALLY START FOLLOWING THE PAGE!

“A couple people saw the train arrive in this stop, plus the others we found in the stops it made to add more coal. Would you like to speak with them?” Gallows immediately became suspicious about the change in attitudes, but it was immediately dismissed in favour of a fond relation to Csilen. He seems like a good man, climbing his way though the ranks of the constalbury like he did so many years ago. He was inclined to help the young man.

“Of course, we would appreciate all the help we can get. This would be a nightmare if word was spread that the train was robbed, the broadsheets would have a field day, so please keep it quiet”

“Gallows, commissioner Gallows. Were you a survivor? Can you tell us what happened?” “Y-yes, you’re the elendel constable they sent up? Perhaps you could take a look inside the train.”

Fantastic, meaning the issue has been resolved?

Great! Does that put you under the character limit? If so, @Arky-boi, you have eight characters, meaning you have to move, kill or make three NPC, I suggest we start by making Ronin count only towards my character limit, I suggest you move a character or two to the other side of the world or the hunt for the jackal, assuming they don’t come back when they feel like it. Voidus what I think would happen is that the thread still stayed in alley city but it doesn’t impact other threads and the characters can’t leave it without adding to the limit, so it’s like other side of the world but closer.
