[Closed Event Post]

[isdragonlady]

::So, Failnaught, you find yourself in a hotel main lobby. Your teleporting seems to have failed to directly take you to where Niyo is, and there's a lazy hotel desk girl yawning. And an Elevator off to the right.::

[Girl]
How can we help you, sir.

*he sighs again.*

My name is Failnaught. I was sent here by Haita, Onni, in order to retrieve the Ame-no-Nuhoko.

He told me to ask for Sub-level 2, and that he gave me clearance to take the spear.

If I need to physically drag him here in order to speed up this series of events, I will. But I think he wouldn't appreciate that when he's still clearly recovering from his injuries.

[isdragonlady]

...

Let go of him.

::The guards do so.::

Downstairs to talk.

[all_for_not]

Please. Thank you.

[isdragonlady]

::Motions to follow her as she walks right back into the Elevator, annoyed.::

[all_for_not]

*he follows her into it, clearly not very happy himself, but. he'll keep calm.

the worst she can do is attack him or delay him, and if that happens...*

[isdragonlady]

::Ding. You find a very sloppily put together make shift office in a giant basement. She walks out towards one of the most non-cluttered areas, it's a desk. With a laptop and some photos.::

So. What do you want.

[all_for_not]

... I'll repeat myself. I need to retrieve the Ame-no-Nuhoko.

[isdragonlady]

For what purpose.

[all_for_not]

To save my world, the world of the Barians. That was it's purpose. It was created by the Bujin specifically to assist in that.

[isdragonlady]

Any proof?

[all_for_not]

What proof exactly do you require?

I want to cooperate, ma'am, but it needs to be something quick. I cannot handle staying here for too long. The incident that's already occurred has wasted time as it is.

[isdragonlady]

Documentation I can provide to my superiors that I released evidence under good faith that I didn't let a heavily dangerous object get taken by a terrorist or criminal.

[all_for_not]

Documentation? Somehow I doubt that I'd be able to provide you "documentation", even if I was entirely prepared for this.

... Besides, isn't "Haita, Onni" the one who heads this? I believe he called it "SpecInv"? Your superior already knows I am here to retrieve the Ame-no-Nuhoko. ... I suppose I should have forced him to write a note a recommendation, while he was leaning on a cane.

[isdragonlady]

It's complicated, but I have joint authority.

The problem is we just got through a terrorist bombing and the people we both answer to are looking for any reason right now to shut down the division.

So please don't give me idle threats about Onni.

[all_for_not]

I'm not giving idle threats. I'm just frustrated that he gave me permission, but apparently vocal word is not enough.

[isdragonlady]

It would of been two months ago.

But now I have a bean counter breathing down my neck for 'review'.

[all_for_not]

... Would his word be worth more?

[isdragonlady]

His word will make them think we're a rogue division that doesn't follow rules.

... And that he's using the division to get laid.

[all_for_not]

*he makes this sound of. frustration. pure frustration of years of waiting.

And then quickly opens up a gateway and vanishes into it. What the. Where did he go.

... oh, no, wait, he comes back after a minute. With Onni.*

[becomeanwarrior]

[Hello yes I'm leaning on a cane and very tired.]

...Niyo, this was supposed to be simple. Failnaught here does not exactly have the luxury of time.

[isdragonlady]

And I don't have the luxury of giving him the magic spear and fist bumping him and saying it's "All Cool".

Members of the Diet, who think they're policy wonks, are looking for any excuse to shut us down at the moment. Along with Bureaucrats from the Ministry of Justice, and Domino City Councilmen.

::Flappy bird hand flailing.::

[isdragonlady]

Especially since they think you're trying to build a harem.

[becomeanwarrior]

[He pinches the bridge of his nose.]

I don't give a damn what the Diet thinks! This is bigger than Earth! An entire people's survival is at stake! Harem allegations be damned, I'm not gonna be stopped by some red tape!

We've got to have an emergency clause somewhere, one that allows us to operate without having to do the paperwork now. These idiots wouldn't know what to do with the Ame-no-Nuhoko even if they knew what it looked li-

[...He pauses.]

[all_for_not]

... Did you have an idea?

[isdragonlady]

They'd know exactly what to do with it:

Use it as proof of the divine right superiority of Japan and use it to start a war by goading the rest of the region.
