Who: Slick and friends
When: Day 1, still morning...
Where: Apartment A
What: 8D;

[SO

while the rest of ya'll were trying to do sensible things like learn about the situation, Slick decided to take himself and his godmode to go kill everything as a nice little stress reliever

UNFORTUNATELY he didn't figure out that he'd been power capped.

So after a rather short and unpleasant exploration, Slick stumbles back to the apartment, bleeding heavily. Mostly from a dozen or so long claw marks on his back and a few heavy, deep bites on his shoulders and arms.

Whoops]

The lungs, hearts, and rib cages of beasts will satisfy me. And with that I can close his wounds enough that he will not scar.

[heading to the kitchen to wash off Slick's blood]

But please, do not go alone. I don't know of what skills or magics you expect to have, but if they do not work here, fighting alone would be suicide.

Pretty gruesome.

[just lifts an eyebrow]

You will no doubt want their muscle and fat to satisfy you.

I wasn't arguing. That will have to be... blessed too, right?

Purified, yes. As long as you are not otherwise neglecting to make offerings to me, purifications will cost nothing.

Right.

Do you know what we can do about the skills we've lost?

I do not know the magics of your world, or your skills. It is possible one of us could offer a substitute, if you described it, or you could embrace the powers of this world. In the past, the most powerful humans were also the most devout.

... Devout? You mean like priests?

Of course. I don't know how it worked where you are from, but here all power comes from us. Anyone can get by in life by paying the necessary toll for water and electricity, good fortune and good health. But if you wish to share our power you must be able offer your constant loyalty.

Sounds alarmingly like the Empire...

So what does loyalty entail?

An Empire is nothing but a united rise of civilization, and that is exactly what we wish to be, Yuri.

Loyalty... depends on who you speak to. For me, it means generosity, protection, and love. Others prefer to see their priests exemplify different... 'virtues'.

I didn't really care of the Empire all that much.

So could you provide aer? It's--a kind of energy.

Perhaps your empire had it's grievances. Certainly I am not under the delusion that my children are flawless. But if it is a concern of yours, be glad you will be among the first set the foundations for this one.

[headtilt]

I can only offer magic that connects to the element of water. If 'aer' has that nature, then perhaps.

I wouldn't feel so secure putting someone like me in charge.

Don't think so... Damn.

Is this 'aer' so necessary? You could acquire new powers and new skills, likely better suited to this world.

Old habits die hard.

[shrug]

You may have noticed few of us are here, perhaps in time enough will gather, and one will be able to answer your prayers.
