~Walking around the outside of the barrier, Truinthil grins and chuckles to himself. He knows how he can get into it, but he is content at the moment, just walking along the outside. He speaks softly to himself as he does this.~
I wonder when Mastema will just invite me in. Fighting is fun, but it is rather annoying when I have to force my way in just to talk to someone. Then again that is real fun. I'm split between the two. Do I wait, or do I force my way in. Both will reward me eventually I'm sure, but which do I want to do? Such a quandry.

Gah.... kuso ~_~ Wait..... I have an idea. *Than had thus far be unsuccessful in his attempt to free himself. Now to test just how much Mastema had wanted Thanatos to remain there* Zio!
Zio: *The familiar screen lit up in front of Than* Greetings Lord Thanatos. How may I be of assistance
Than: *He quietly snorted at Mastema's games* Release my restraints.
Zio: Affirmative.
Than: *but a second later, Than's restraints open and he falls right out* AH! >< Gah.......nnnnnnnnnnnngggg...... *It wasn't exactly a light landing on the metal floor* oi..... *His nerves would burn for a little while again*
Zio: Will that be all, Lord Thanatos?
Than: Iie. I need some clothing. Just basics will do ~_~
Zio: Very well. One moment. *It took Zio a moment to process Than's request for "basic" clothing. The folded up clothing appears beside Than soon there after* Confirmed. Will that be all, Lo--
Than: Iie. Can you teleport me out of here ~_~
Zio: Negative. I can not function beyond the bounds of the citadel or this complex.
Than: I see. well then.... Zio.... I request that you transport me and the clothing to the mass driver room
Zio: Initiating. One moment. *The screen vanished. Soon afterwards, so did Than and the clothing*

Loitering is such an inefficient method of acquiring attention, Truinthil. *Mastema, someone who had rarely shown himself out of the citadel for about half a year now, spoke to Truinthil from the barrier, standing partway up it's height* Hmm Hmm..... how long has it been? Since you and I faked my death for a second time?

*Micha had put on at least one of the items Nana had left for him, but the other two.... specifically the robe was a different story. How to get the robe on, with his new wings was still a mystery to him, as it would be to the others. So, Micha remained in bed, and rested once more on his stomach so that his wings didn't move about and cause him any discomfort. Eecheb and Trilla on the other hand had gotten out of bed, and were also looking at the things Nana had left for them. They too, put on the same item that Micha had, and then shortly after started running about, albeit slower than normal due to the slight numbing pain they still had in their backs. More or less they were examining their wings*
Trilla: >.> Trilla thinks Eecheb's back things are nice.
Eecheb: <.< Trilla's look like mama's.
Trilla: >.> Eecheb thinks so?
Eecheb: <.< Uh-huh.
Micha: . . .

Not efficient? It seems to have worked this time, though I hadnt really expected it to. As for how long it has been since you or I has last "died"? I do not recall. I try not to think of dying very much.
~Tilting his head and looking up at Mastema, he grins insanely.~
Why do you ask? Looking to be "dead" again? I could probably arrange that for you.

*Nana was still heading up the tower, and by now was only about fifteen floors or so, away from the top*
--.--
I wonder if they're even awake yet...

*Mastema chuckled lightly, hearing Truinthil again after quite some time* You always did ask your foe if he or she wished to die before hand..... even if it really made no difference in whether you would commit murder then and there or not. *Mastema "sat" back against the barrier and crossed his legs over* I can assure you, that death has as little meaning to me as it does to you. However, it would be more troublesome for you than for me, seeing as how I could easily elude you for quite some time in false destruction. Did you really come all this way for small talk? Then again I suppose there has been a lack of worth while "prey" with the Black Company almost entirely motionless as of late.

*Finally Eecheb and Trilla wander over to Micha, who as always said not a word, though no one knew just why*
Trilla: >.> Micha has nice back things too.
Eecheb: <.< I like mine better.
*They proceed to poke and tug a bit at Micha's wings*
Micha: . . . *twitch*

~Laughing lightly, Truinthil put his right foot against the barrier and made as if to stretch out, but instead began walking up the barrier.~
Elude me easily? You might be giving yourself too much credit, but we wont know how easily you would elude me until you try it right? I agree with you though. Things have been a bit slow of late. I have even found myself following you in taking interest in mortal pleasures. These kinder emotions are troublesome at times, but very pleasant at others. I ramble though. I am bored. The Black Company is slowing down and things are getting a bit dry. There needs to be some excitement round here. Got any interesting plans up your sleeve? Or perhaps you know of some ancient being that has been locked away for eons by the gods that we could unleash for fun?
~Stopping about thirty feet to the left of Mastema, he looked over at the man, his hands held behind his back, his wrist blades not in sight.~
I really could use some excitement other than mortal activities, as fun as those are.

Touche' *He chuckled at Truinthil's questioning of Mastema's planning* Oh come now Truinthil. It has not be that long since we last parted. I always have something planned..... waiting is a focal point in them all. I know of no such sealed beings at the moment..... However, there does seem to be another conspiracy about the region...... *Mastema kept his hands linked in front of his face, staring out over the terrain*

*Trilla and Eecheb continue poking and tugging at Micha until all of a sudden on of his feathers is pulled free*
Trilla: >.> !! Eecheb!
Eecheb: <.<; What?
Micha: . . . *twitch*
Trilla: >.> Eecheb broke Micha's back things!
Eecheb: <.<; I did not!
*The feather was already on the floor by the time the two started arguing, right by Micha's head*
Micha: . . . *twitch*
Trilla: >.> Eecheb did too! Look!
Eecheb: <.<; I'll...... fix it!
Trilla: >.>; How?
Eecheb: <.<; I don't know.
*Eecheb picks up the feather again, and simply sticks if back amungst the other feathers randomly. It stuck out like a sore thumb howerver, with the rest of the feathers*
Trilla: >.>; That's not right!
Eecheb: <.<; Not my fault...!
Trilla: >.> It is!
Eecheb: <.< Is not!
Trilla: >.> it is!!
Eecheb: <.< Is not!!
Micha: . . . *twitch*
*Nana was now, on about level ninety*

~Nodding at most of it, Truinthil knew that those would likely be the answers. At the mention of a conspiracy though, he blinks and looks around before looking back to Mastema.~
Conspiracy? What sort of conspiracy?

*Trilla and Eecheb continue to fight, and right over Micha. The tugging of his wings must have been painful, as was seen by his twitching. Nana was now on the ninety-sixth level, and so she was almost there*
Trilla: >.> Did so!
Eecheb: <.< Did not!
Trilla: >.> Did so!
Eecheb: <.< Did not!
Trilla: >.> Did so!
Eecheb: <.< Did not!
Trilla: >.> Did so!
Eecheb: <.< Did not!
Micha: . . . *twitch*

It may be nothing... however I rarely know this person to be present for no reason. Hmm.... *He thought for a moment* Surely a man of your calibur and intelligence is knowledgible of one Archangel Gabriel? I would not be surprised if you have quarrelled with that man in the past, as I hear the elder Draeken once raided the heavens, in a manner of speaking. Well, regardless..... it is him who seems to be behind these actions. Gabriel has appeared several times in this region, with a frequency much higher than what I would expect from a high archangel. I do not know what his plans intail.... but I know it must be of some significance. Most notably, he has paid a visit or two to the Black Company dojo and can often be found in the vicinity of the Seven Hells Temple.

Ah. That fool angel. I have, well Draeken has, had troubles with him in the past. I'll look into it myself. I must be going though. I'll be back later. For what, who knows. Maybe we will do more than talk next time.
~With that Truinthil grinned villinously and disappered.~
