You were killed by insects and encyclopedias.
Calling that a failure is an understatement.
Those returns...Minion? Ha! I think my characters are having better luck with Phogen.
Exxan and Xara are his/her "investments."
don't worry phogen, Omega will be your minion
Not if I have anything to say.
I'll teach you the honorable warrior-monk path IC, don't fret.
BOR-ING. I know I would rather be Vader than Anakin. More interesting that way. Actually, if it was an option, I would be Tarkin.
I'll be Vader!
Nope. I'm with Funky on this one. Tarkin for the win.
And yes, I think your investments in my characters are providing very good returns. I'm assuming Xara still owes you that other favour you mentioned?
I'll be Vader!
Good! I need a powerful lapdog!

Oh she does, she does indeed. Mwuhahaha.
If that is gonna happen we need a story behind it. Something about me oweing you.
And this is why I'm staying far from Phogen (that and I consider her slightly crazy and diabolical).

Your loss. Phogen's been a massive help.
Phogen is basically the ultimate rahkshi.
But what happens later when she uses these "favors" to further her own purposes? I just don't want to get tangled in it.

The craziness will have to be pruned but otherwise she's the perfect fit for what the Academy expects of Rahkshi.

Keep on his/her good side, and you might become part of those schemes, rather than a mere pawn in them. I think Phogen's smart enough to know not to screw her/his clients over.
...whereas non-participants might not be so free from the screwing. Just putting that out there. Mwuhahaha.

In all honesty, though, Phogen is a believer in equity if nothing else. She pays her dues, unless you are something worthless. Like a ethical person.
*shudders*
So much work to do on fools like that. Still, they are incredibly malleable. As long as I become their moral compass, they are welcome.
I suddenly feel that Phogen might be a bad influence on Exxan...

Its okay. I worry Exxan might be a good influence on Phogen.
alright i got it! so basically Omega owes Phogen something and has to work for him/her

Make it something rather old and valuable. Something like a life-debt or whatnot. I want a long term servant, not a mercenary.

I know, right! I think you wont make her good per se. Maybe a bit of a Machiavelli instead of a Makuta, so to speak.
Ok I think I've got it. Might have to wait a bit though.

Well this way, She/He will mean good, if the methods are a bit horrifying. She would want to take over the universe and make it better.
It's a huge improvement, methinks. Teridax wanted to rule the universe. Machiavelli didn't aim quite so high. Heck, he even wrote a book about how to screw people over to get into positions of power. He wanted everyone to be able to do it.
Methinks Glass should get in on Phogen's plans
Depends....
How avid of a reader is he?
The first step has begun.
Methinks Glass should get in on Phogen's plans
Methinks Glass should earn back Xara's trust first.
Methinks that is more important, yeah.
Let's see now, would flowers work?
Depends....

Quite?

No.

Good, good...
Also, I reccomend chocolates. Flowers are nice, but food is better. As my mom always said, "The fastest way to a hermaphodite's heart is through the stomach."
Or something like that.
Proving to her that he does not intend to betray her by doing something selfless.
No.Let's see now, would flowers work?
He would do it, either way you look at it.
By that I mean the selfless bit.
Either way, he'll prove it through actions, not words.

Ah... Whut?
I think Rahkshi romance is a little too disturbing for me thanks.
And why? Who said anything about romance, and who said it has to be disgusting?
Well, I think it's time to ship Omega. See how "disturbing" he finds it.
Glass x Xara tho
I kinda like it
nonononono pls
Glass x Xara tho
I kinda like it
It's certainly something we could work towards in future, but Xara doesn't exactly trust Glass right now... Something about her being his target...
It don't have to be disgusting right
We ain't constraining this to human actions right
(Right?)

Hmm, perhaps. Oh well. You can't understand Rahkshi sometimes.
Left.
And why? Who said anything about romance, and who said it has to be disgusting?
IC: Eyes stared down into the central courtyard of Corpus Rahkshi. Eyes that blazed with red light yet somehow remained cold as ice. Makuta Tridax was watching. He gazed upon a few of the students milling around, face crinkling with distaste when he noticed a pair holding each others hand.
Well. That wasn't supposed to be happening...
The thought of Rahkshi romance was a distasteful one to his mind, sitting like a lump of mouldering cheese in the otherwise pristine feast of information the school had provided. If only he knew how it was caused, then he might be able to curb and temper it. Otherwise every other measure he could take risked exacerbating the whole affair. Bah, these new breed were too devilish complicated for their own good at times...
You were saying?
I think it would be amusing to see some chocolates delivered to Xara's door. Considering your characters never had this conversation, it would work perfectly. Just to see what happens.
