13th oath of the moment: The Wolf and the Moon

[lunawolves10th]

1.
[Around Mayfield, morning Garviel is visiting friends. He stops by Abel's house, just to check and make sure his friend is in fact droned for good. When he finds Abel's things nowhere around, and the typically polite but distant Frenchman almost too chummy, he stops, walking away swiftly. The confirmation is a far more bitter thing than he

[ Ian approaches, quietly. He's nite sure what is sitting in front of him, or if it's even alive. He's ready to make a grab for his sword, if he has to. ]

XENOS.

[Garviel sees the fellow with his hand on his sword, stands instantly, drawing his own chainsword and is screams to life, splitting the night with a shriek as the blades spin up to speed.]

[walkwaves]

[ OH SHIT.

Ian is small, he's small and he's fast, and he puts that to work. He dashes a good distance away. His blade remains on his belt, as he's unsure if that's what set this... thing off. ]

I'm not here to hurt you!

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel pauses, seemingly it was enough that Ian backed off.]

You are a Xenos, or at the very least a mutant... I am in no mood to deal with such a thing at the moment. At this time... in this place.

Go.

[Sleep was something always at a premium for Yuri. What little he could get was plagued by night terrors so often he'd all-but become desensitized to them. Still, he'd spent most of his life working off the bare minimum sleep needed -- that gave him a lot of free time after curfew.]

S'up, humongous.

[It was for that reason Garviel got a borderline-rude greeting from the young man sitting on a nearby bench, himself staring up to the sky.]

Yuri. [He growls from his augmitters.]

[bitemescumbag]

Heh. Ya didn't strike me as the star-watching type. Space and all. Guess it's different from down here, huh?

[lunawolves10th]

Yes. Very different. I am curious if this is in fact the view that the Emperor and the others at the center of the Imperium have from Terra. If this is in fact more than just some strange simulacrum of reality.

[A pointy-eared shadow appears next to Garviel, growing smaller and smaller until the Bat stands next to where Garviel sits.

He is silent, simply nodding in acknowledgement.]

Re: 3.

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel nods to Batman, silent for the moment, once again looking up to the moon and stars. For the moment Garviel has the aspect of a warlike angel, cast down from the heavens, and mourning the fate that brought him here.]

[beyondthecowl]

[Batman simply sits down next to Garviel, taking care to make sure he doesn't get tangled up in his cape. He chooses, for once, to be the one to break the silence.]

Something on your mind?

[That would be obvious to anyone--the question is more of an invitation for Garviel to tell Batman whatever it is, if he feels so inclined.]

[lunawolves10th]

More some people... You familiar with the process of droning, by chance?

COME AT ME, BRO.]

Re: 2

[lunawolves10th]

[Garviel just stares coldly at Merem.]

Do you happen to know the circumstances of her droning? [He rumbles.]

Re: 2

[wise_king]

I'm a Dead Apostle Ancestor, not a psychic, my friend.

Re: 2

[lunawolves10th]

I was unaware we were friends.

[Was that sarcasm?]

If you want, I can tell you why I did it, I suppose.

Re: 4

[lunawolves10th]

By all means. We've spoken before, I believe, I must confess I am somewhat surprised. What made you do it?

[letunityblossom]

I'm a nation--the personified representation of three million people. They're the most important thing to me, and my greatest fears all involve them. I couldn't take the chance they weren't bluffing.

[lunawolves10th]

So, now that you know that they were bluffing, how will you react the next time the town threatens you?
