"Alright, I think I understand what you're saying. You're part of a secret organization, and you're here to kill him. I'm here, and you weren't expecting that, and now, since I've seen you, you have to kill me, but no hard feelings, because that's just the way it is for you. ... right?"
She says it all matter of factly and with understanding, but at the last, she speaks with a hardened, no nonsense edge.
*smiles*
"That's the spirit of the rules, I am the guy who doesn't like to tow the line. So I will start with that's not what I'm going to do, cuz that's not who I am. I'm going to need a uniform, since I got you into this, it's up to me to get you out of it. So the plan is we kill Hitler my way, you call in a guard, hopefully one close to my size, and we walk out of here. Once we are out, and I have time, I can do some mental suggestions to remember me as just an American Operative who is a verser named Jhiaxus, so this scene plays out slightly differently in your mind. You can remember Jhiaxus, Disciple of Odin, but not Jhiaxus, Elder. Sound like an ok deal?."
*grins*
"I lied I took a year of German in school, so I'm passable with one or two word responses."
J
She shakes her head. "The plan was, I kill him, then myself, leaving the decoy here so they don't think I escaped somehow. You can kill him instead, if you like. It makes no difference to me. If you need to also kill me so that you can report that to your superiors we can do that, too."
*shakes his head*
"You are a verser, you will always keep the memory of me. I will be right back, *cuts a path back to The Inbetween."
*If Imidge is there, or when I get to him*
"We have a problem, there is a verser involved, that's why the plan got messed up, and she's ugh, I couldn't get her to leave or even knock her out. Even if I kill her for what she has seen, it doesn't matter, she's a verser, and she's ok with killing herself, so I got back here before she did anything. It's a no win situation."
J
Imidge nods, and responds, "This is an issue. Do you think you can bring her to me, or shall I accompany you?"
*To Imidge*
"I can get her to come, I just didn't want to yank her here and get an order out on me. If there was a way to take care of it myself I would have, but she left me no options, since my psionics is less than perfect there. I am heading back."
*will go back and cut a path back to that moment*
"I'm back, one of the Eldest would like to speak to you, we will do my plan. Let them think what they want, there will be no evidence of foul play."
*does the procedure as instructed, gets him dressed and sits him in his chair, with a half drunken bottle of liquor and a book in his hand*
*nods to her*
"It is done, are you ready for an interesting trip?"
*cuts a path and waits for her to walk through, and walks through behind her and to Imidge*
"Eva Braun, this is Imidge, Imidge, Eva. This is a highly unusual situation for everyone involved."
J
Imidge tells you, "By all means. There is no law against bringing outsiders here; the law is against outsiders being here. No fault will be attributed to you for bringing outsiders here; it is the fault of the outsider for venturing where they do not belong."
Does that change your actions?
*confused*
"So if I am with them, will they be killed? Tan just told me, bring no one here ever unless it's for consideration for training. If they are with a Black Ninja, what happens?"
J
"Almost certainly a BSM order, resulting in almost certain death for the individual brought here.
"I admit I am jealous of you a bit, Elder Jhiaxus, as are many of the other Black Ninja. As Elder Fizgig is the only woman ever to have been made a Black Ninja, and is quite attractive to boot, many of us, including myself, would literally kill to make it to first base with her. This is the primary reason why when you were brought here, we allowed her to strongarm us into recruiting you."
*nods*
"That I didn't know, I was under the impression that a Black Ninja could recruit a candidate. Ok now that I know, since we have the time, maybe we should go over what happens in common situations. What happens if someone is recruited to train, how is that done normally without a BSM order? Now about this woman, she didn't do anything wrong, other than be a verser, and was going to kill him herself. What will happen to her? Call it my need to know. If I bring here here what are we going to do?."
*grins*
"You know, this whole one woman thing for all these male ninja, you have the power to change that. Women have tools that men do not have most of the time. For example most people in power are men, and most men in power are a sucker for a woman. The seduction that a woman brings to the table, is a powerful tool. Having a boys only club is cool and all, but women have been ninja for as long as men have. Just my 2 cents while we were on the subject. I know it won't happen, but still I couldn't live without women."
J
"Ursana is one of the Eldest, and she is a woman, but she technically was not recruited as she helped form the organization. From the beginning, she had convinced us that the distractions from training that members of the opposite sex pose was not conducive to our learning environment. Also, she raised the valid point that if our members were to fall in love with one another, as it is doubtless some would, they would not be able to maintain objectivity during missions. Thus, we had to choose between male and female, and after a vote, came to the determination of men only.
"She is a verser. Ursana would order her sent to the deep supernatural, a place which even if you could leave, it is so wonderful and beautiful you would never in all neverending eternity think to; however, I intend to wipe her memory of the last few hours completely clean forever, and throw her into one of the rivers. For an individual here, that might be the equivalent of death, or banishment forever; for her, she'll just be in a different world.
"The proper method of recruiting a candidate is to ask, then bring them if we wish to meet them."
*Nods*
"That was what my intention was, just not as easy, wipe her memory and send her on her way, it's a shame she won't remember, but she might just want to jump into a river. Ok done.
*Grins*
"Well I love Tan and she loves me, and I think if anything it has enhanced our abilities, I don't want to be left behind by her and vice versa. I'm glad I understand why things are done the way they are done here. Well I think if she has to convince the rest, it means that if left to your own devices, you would have chosen both. Ok, I bring her here, we wipe her memory and send her off to the river, I would prefer that we don't push her in, that seems cruel. Maybe part of the wiping can be for a job well done, you are rewarded by going to another world, a way that few if any versers have done so before."
*sighs*
"She's a good woman, it would be a shame next time we meet she will have no memory of it, but what can you do."
*Will go back and do the above, knowing she will be taken care of right*
J
Eva accompanies you, saying, "What, you told your secret organization about me, and now they want to hire me?"
You arrive in the Between, and Imidge says, "Welcome, dimensional traveller, to the Between. Now you know who we are, and there will be a short initiation ritual to welcome you into our fold."
"What sort of ritual?" She seems a little suspicious.
"Be at ease," Imidge tells her in a friendly manner. "It isn't a hazing. It will only take a moment or so."
He places his hands on her head, and a moment later she convulses and drops to the ground unconscious. He splits into three, and two of them pick her up and begin walking away. The third stays, and says to you, "More's the pity. She would likely have adjusted well here."
*Nods sad*
"It is a shame, all the recruits that are lost. She took it upon herself to do what we are doing. I would have loved to train her personally."
J
"Perhaps you and she will meet again someday." It's a bit funny, coming from him, the ninja who knows where to cut to arrive at any place and time.
"You may return to your training, Elder. Thanks to your assistance, this mission was a success. We may call on you again in the future."
*considers*
"I have an idea, who says we have to put her in the river, I can hand pick one as a thank you, get her some training. If the river it is, I'm ok with it. I had to try to give her something for her trust."
*grins at him*
"Well I know exactly where she will be, so I can do so whenever."
*Nod to him and go back to training*
J
Imidge raises an eyebrow at you. "You want to send her to a world specifically? What did you have in mind?"
*smiles*
"Well she thought I was giving her ninja training, why not a world where she can get real ninja training, and fight the good fight. Naruto world is good for a lot of magic and psionic powers, but not so much for the acts of being a Ninja, I bet there is a realistic one out there that will give her the opportunity to use her skills. It would make me feel less of a liar to her."
J
"A ninja theme? There are several which come to mind, and I know precisely the one. They will drop her there."
*nods*
"Thanks, at least if I ever meet her again, I know I did right by her, even if she doesn't remember. Thanks for all your help, it's hard walking a line verses what you feel is right."
*Will continue training*
J
Alright, which attributes and skills are you working? This will be easier for me if we take a system approach, you adjust your skills and attributes to the point when you're going to be leaving and let me know how many total point adjustments there are, and post the updated character sheet and how many point increments were changed here. Then we can say how much longer you'll be here.
Intuition 2@9
Agility 3@5
Hand/Eye 2@4
Resistance 2@6
Density 2@8
Are the ones I am improving. I will stay here till they are maxed.
J
4 24 16 8 45 90 90 90 90
This list of numbers is all the intensities it will take to raise each stat. we'll say, what, intense training, no trainer, so 150 days per increase. So... 188 years later, you're ready to go.
*Um I am not doing them one at a time, I should be able to do 5 at a time, and I do have a trainer for Density the box*
Yeah, you can do five at once, but you do have to devote the time to the box, and there does come a point where it is necessary to rest, as continuing to push yourself will do more harm than good.
But I'll tell you what. I'll cut that time down to 120 years, if solely for the fact that I find the image of you increasing your intuition and hand/eye by playing paddleball endlessly with one in each hand while you simultaneously juggle flaming barbells with your feet to raise your resistance and agility to be highly amusing.
((That's cool will post updated sheet to other thread))
*Grins, heading to Mark*
It puts the lotion on the skin, or it gets the bump again!
When the White Rabbit bumps, throw the radio in the bathtub.
You arrive at Mark's in the present. He's working as usual, and says to you, "Verser Jhiaxus, good to see you again. Do I sense a godlike aura? Interesting. What brings you here?"
*grins*
"Just been working out, seems Eria sorta wiped the memories of most everyone in the world, was wondering if you have a device to fix that."
J
"Was it Eria? I had noticed. It was a few minutes distraction. Here, give them a zap with this."
He hands you a small, handheld, device; it looks like a small cattleprod, or taser.
*smiles*
"Thanks once again, if you need anything let me know, I will be likely fixing things in the world, making it right."
*Heading back to the moment I left and look at everyone*
"Ok who is first to get their memories back?"
J
Val says irritatedly, "You could do that this whole time?" No one seems to have noticed you were gone.
*Grins*
"No I just remembered how to do it that instant and I did it. I had to see someone who wasn't affected to get a device to get your memory back. As a side note, I had to have my full memory returned beautiful." *Gives her a kiss, and makes sure the baby is not in her hands and zaps her the the device*
*Turns to Tani*
"Your turn beautiful, *Gives her a kiss* and zaps her with the device*."
*Grins*
"Funny how we all love each other and fight, just goes to show good fighting is healthy."
*goes to each of the kids, explains this will help them remember, and zaps them as gently as possible.*
J
There doesn't seem to be anything gentle about this device; as for Val, what do you intend to do with the three month old baby she's holding?
Jewel, Eria, and Nic all go down hard, twitching spasmodically; Val also falls, but quickly recovers; Tan jumps as if jolted and quietly says, "Owie."
*I will take her and put her down in the baby pack Val was holding when we were travelling*
*I apologize to everyone about the device, Mark didn't tell me if it would hurt or not*
"Is everyone alright? Looks like this is a one person at a time deal, we should setup in the town hall, zap people, and those that can, will go to spread word to come here to get their memories back."
*I will assume that will take some time*
J
You assume correctly. It's a good thing you don't sleep, because throngs of people are coming in; Tan is at the front door keeping people in a single file line, Jewel and Eria are tending them while they are injured, and Val is guarding the back door and letting people out that way.
The time comes when sleep is necessary, and Val, Eria, Jewel, and Nick all need to. With just the two of you how do you intend to do this?
One at a time in and out, Tell them most of the staff is sleeping, but we will keep a trickle coming in.
J
And the back door? There's no one watching it.
*Locked, bared and barricaded, one person in one person out the front door*
