IC: Kuma
"Kuma had been behind a bookshelf and heard the entire conversation, quietly following the group. He walked up next to Vitesse, gave her a nod and readied his staff."
IC: Vitesse
"Hold on. Let's wait where this goes. If things turn for the worst, then we fight." Vitesse said, putting a hand on Kuma's staff to lower it.
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
Revenge walked over to (Nightmare). "Excuse me, could I ask you something?"
IC Phogen: The derahk looked up to acknowledge the arrival of Zelnos with a small smile before returning to her work.IC: Zelnos | Malebranche Amphitheatre Music reminds me of home... I like it
He left Hoto and Jayar to their chat and walked outside with the rest of the audience, only for a new type of music to enter his ears.
IC: Nightmare
"Depends. What is it about?" He responded
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
"It's about something I heard, and I would rather resolve this without any conflict, especially considering where we are." Revenge sat down on the bed next to Nightmare. "I was told that some Rahkshi were planing a murder, and that one of them was in the Infirmary with a large cut. Do you know what they were talking about."
IC: Nightmare
"Well. It was Shock. He told me that the Rahkshi did some terrible things. I was just there to help him." He Said, and then a wide grin climbed across his face "Because Friends, Help Friends." Then he Realized "Wait, no, you are with that thieving spy aren't you!"
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
"Maybe, all I knew about them was that they are a new student. Now, what did this horrible Rahkshi do?"
IC: Nightmare
"No. First you tell me who you are with. I Need to know whether or not you are with that thieving Spy." He Said.
IC: Revenge-Infimary
Revenge sighed. "I had volunteered to go first since you wouldn't recognized me, there is a whole group outside ready to fight you, but if you insist," he turned to the door, "Everyone come in."
IC: Kuma
Kuma calmly walked into the room and spoke to both Revenge and his companions, "Now, now since it's my life, I think I should have some say in the matter. Fighting is a last resort.". Kuma then turned to Nightmare, "I thought Shock and I had made peace. Clearly not. Is there anything I can do to end this peacefully?"
IC: Vitesse
Vitesse walked in. She glanced around then headed to the bed where the midget rahkshi was. Thieving spy? Well, she had tried to take the knife, but she doubted that he needed it.
IC: Nightmare
"So you are with the Thief." He Said to (Revenge) "Hmm, Perhaps. I can convince him, only if I get some sort of payment." He said, he Smiled once more, "I Need a Smith, if you tell me where I can find one, I will Make sure Shock doesn't kill you." He said.
IC: Kuma
"Just how will you do this?"
IC: Nightmare
"I Have my ways." He said, before looking at (Vitesse) "You may know it if you had been watching when I did it." His stare then returned to Kuma "Though, that is if you can get me my Proper Payment. If not, I'll let him do what he wishes."
IC: Vitesse
Vitesse nodded slowly, realizing. " He controls him with that knife and fear powers. Makes him think it's a flower."
IC: Nightmare
"Indeed, It is Quite effective, its how I discourage him from Cordaks," He said, "it can Easily be used to Manipulate him, so he Doesn't kill Kuma."
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
Revenge was curious. "Why would he want to kill you Kuma?"
IC: Nightmare
"I'm still not Clear on the details." He said.
IC: Kuma
"Because I wrote a letter to Tridax asking that we have a school play and giving good reasons for it, then stayed calm while Shock insulted me. And the first I heard of this plot was Nightmare suggesting a preemptive strike on me, as Blade can testify."
IC: Blade
"Indeed."
IC: Nightmare
"Well then, He Never told me that, thats just Ridiculous, I'm sorry if I may have missed it if you and him talked about it, I was deep in thought."
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
Revenge laughed. "I know some students can be touchy but killing someone over something like that?"
IC: Nightmare
"All he told me was stuff of torture, and such, then again, he does have hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia." He said "Oh well, I guess your payment will not be Necessary, That is really just Ridiculous."
IC: Kuma
"In other words, he met me, didn't like me, and is completely insane. Also, he's afraid of flowers?"
IC: Nightmare
"Yes, and long words." He responded
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
Revenge stood up. "Well I am glad we were able to settle this without a conflict. Good luck with that play thing Kuma. There was a talent show not to long ago but I am not too sure how that turned out."
IC: Kuma
"One last thing before we go." Kuma turned to Nightmare, "Do you promise never to try to kill another student and to try your best to have Shock do the same? Excepting when it is necessary to save an innocent party, of course."
IC: Nightmare and Blade
"Yes. I will also make Sure Shock will do the Same." said Nightmare
"Now if only we could get Charlie to do the same thing." Blade muttered.
IC: Kuma
"Thank you then, have a nice day.". Kuma spoke with complete sincerity and was very happy with how things turned out. "Oh Blade, I believe you still have my letter. Did you ever finish looking over it and do you know who I should give it to so that Tridax reads it?"
IC: Blade
"Oh yes. I Did Finish Reading over it, But I don't know who you should give it to, Do you Revenge?" He said, Pulling the letter out of his Pouch.
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
"Not realy. I would wait until Suvak gets back and give it to him."
IC: Kuma
"What about the medic Rahkshi?"
IC: Revenge-Infirmary
"Palma? I suppose you could. She is right over there."
IC: Nightmare
"And while your over there, tell her I have an Arrow in my Shoulder." He said.
IC: Kuma
Kuma walked over to quick healing Rahkshi at the other end of the room
"Excuse me, you're Palma, right? Could you give this to Tridax?". He handed her the letter. "Also, my friend has an arrow in his shoulder."

IC: Vitesse
"I may need that arrow back..." Vitesse said. She frowned. "Where is Shock? And the Fire Resistance Rahk?"
IC: Nightmare
"I Can never Keep track of Shock. Its sort of like a lightning bolt, one second its there, the next its gone. The Pyromaniac is probably with him." He said.
IC: Vitesse
"Were they planning on going anywhere?"
IC: Shock
Shock was really wanting to test this thing out. He aimed at a tree, pulled the trigger, and- nothing. "NOOOOOO!!!" Shock yelled, then remembered that he was on an island full of hostiles. After slicing the gun I'm half, he and Torch continued.
IC: Nightmare
"They were going to go to Nynrah to Retrieve the Pyro Maniac's Flamethrower, but Shock knows not to, lest get Shot." He Responed
IC: Shark / Visorak Wilds
As he expected Kat came after him with a lunge. Shark had Faithful handy to knock aside the blow even as his own knocked Caoutchouc's weapon aside from him. The shock sent down his arm stung his wound, but it was worth it to avoid being impaled.
Looked like Silver was still dealing with Kat, so Shark moved forward after the disarmed Caoutchouc and swung his unnamed sword back towards his legs, hoping to topple him.

IC: Jayar
Jayar sighed, almost grimacing as he continued, "Because kindness is how she gains, retains followers to do his bidding... You take care of a tool so it will function at peak efficiency, but you don't truly care about it. That's... That's how I think Phogen sees people."
Hoto didn't see it that way. He couldn't bring her to, he knew it... Even if he should inspire doubt in her, they would surely encounter Phogen once more, and all the doubt would be erased with a few words carefully calculated to reassure her. And then, to prevent any further doubt - a few choice words to discredit Jayar?
Assuming his views were accurate - was fighting for them even worth it, when it would put him at odds with Phogen, Phogen's servants... Hoto.
How could he oppose Hoto? "But... maybe I'm wrong. I hope that I am..." he added on, a haphazard concession to her positive view of the Derahk, a demonstration of his mounting inner turmoil.
But if he stopped fighting for what he believed in, he'd be at odds with himself.
