[Closed] Prayers As Usual

[onedrinkwithme]

Who: Aymeric and Goten and Others
When: October 9th
Where: Bordelum, Germany
What: Prayers. More to be added in the future.



Prayer 60:

I didn't mean to take that stupid thing home with me! Okay so maybe I found it on the ground and didn't return it to your temple, but how was I supposed to know it was special? I can't believe I got cursed like this...


Prayer 61:

It turns out the culprit wasn't an ayakashi, but a priest/divine attendant to the god that was trying to boost the temple's reputation by showing off new revered items at the temple. A few items in the collection weren't so divine after all. (aka Dealing with Fan)

[If it were with other company or by herself the surroundings might get to Celty, but for the moment she is more in a protective mode. She trusts Aymeric to do what's right if something goes sideways, especially with the child with them. The conversation she had with him some months back and also his bearing give him that responsible air about him.

When he calls attention to the clearing ahead she kills the engine on her bike and dismounts. Best not to draw attention to their approach. She signals with her hands that she's going to loop around to the other side. If these are the people Aymeric is looking for then she wants to make sure none of them can escape when he makes his move.]

Punching only works on people who respond to nothing else.

[Celty has a good idea, so Leo starts for one of the other sides.]

Hopefully they'll listen to Aymeric and we won't have to punch them.

[onedrinkwithme]

Leo is right, we cannot resort to violence but only use that kind of force if there are no other means available.

[Looking to Celty and getting the gist of her movements, Aymeric moves closer to listen to the group, hoping to get a clear view. One of the robed people steps out nd removes their veil, revealing a woman who has barely reached eighteen years with her baby face and bright blue eyes, a smile too wide to be anything sinister (well on the surface) and raises her arms up.]

My friends! Thank you for coming and helping me with the great task handed to me by the great god Forseti himself! As you know, he has come to visit me in the form of dreams and to spread the His Word to the town and beyond; and with that we needed to see whom Forseti would deem worthy of his fortune. My plan to use his Holy Spring as a test has proven a success and those who were deemed unworthy has been struck down by his might!

[It was like a stone had sunk to the bottom of Aymeric's stomach. The girl's speech, while not unfamiliar to him, reminded him about the primals Eorzea faced and his birth father. She spoke as if she were mad and by the Fury did it make his skin crawl. But what was worse was that she and her group were using the spring assuming those being sick were punished for not following 'his' word.

He had to hold in everything not to feel ill, instead his knuckles going white from gripping the closest tree,]

As soon as our supplies get here, we can continue our glorious task! Speaking of that...they sure are late.

Probably because they think this is too spooky and batshit crazy.

Hmm? Did you say something?

Nothing!

[Well...that explains it. Aymeric turns to the others, his gaze steely because oh boy did this push some damn buttons.]

Nay, we need not fight them but mere words will not persuade them if they believe their cause is just. [And he looks to Leo because obviously look at the mage.] While I may not enjoy what I will suggest but I see no other option: we must use a scare tactic if we are to stop them.

[sonofson]

[Most of what the woman says goes over Goten's head but he roughly gets the jest of it. Crazy people thinking that bad water making people sick because they don't beleive in Forseti. That's not good. He still doesn't see why they can't just swoop in and take them out. Let Aymeric tell them what he wants because he is Forsetti.]

Scare tactic?

[So they are going to get to do something? It might not be fighting but Goten wants help if it makes those people stop using Aymeric's name to make other people sick.]

Can you really scare someone badly enough to stop?

[lookingforhead]

[Celty waits a while to see as much as she can of what's going on. Perhaps hoping they'll just give up and disperse. When it doesn't look like it's headed that way though she tries to send a message to Aymeric directly via her phone.]

It seems like they're waiting for me. Do you want me to finish my delivery? Or do you want to confront them and have me keep them contained?

[She has a good work ethic but she likes to avoid playing conspiracy to greater crimes if she can help it.

Of course, she could probably make for some good scares too if needed, but she wasn't there to hear that part of the plan.]

[brynwieldr]

Was that the biker?

[Leo pulls Brynhildr out, ready to start as soon as Aymeric gives the word.]

[onedrinkwithme]

[Aymeric rubs his chin in thought because this plan needs to be thought through and they only have one shot. It needs to count and he intends to make sure everyone helps out in their own way.]

Tis possible to make someone stop given the persuasion is strong enough. I do not wish to harm these people but they must learn that what they are doing is wrong and mayhap this will help them move in a better direction. If we all pull our resources together, I believe it will happen but we only have one shot at it.

[Pointing to where some poor sap has passed out, he begins.]

And we have been given a gift: I shall take that robe of his to conceal myself and there is metal around the site for me to manipulate. However, we will need atmosphere to ensure terror in their hearts. [And he knows Leo can do it and Celty looks like she can but is unsure so he addresses them.] Will you two be able to handle that?

[And now for Goten...wait, he has ki does he not? Perhaps...] Goten, you have usage of your ki, yes? Mayhap enough to keep their focus onto me? I would use my Flash technique but we want them scared, not angry.
