::So you find the Owner talking to a Greed Quasar, a Greed Quasar that is glowing with a fierce harsh ruby light pattern covering its body. They seem to be discussing terms.::

[gently_pricking]

*probably comes across this after cleaning up in the greenhouse, wondering with curiosity as to this.*

[by_the_pricking]

Again, sir, I repeat that I have extreme reservations about selling that mirror again.

[arknpcs4]

And I tell you, Heavenly Prince, the Empire will empty its Coffers for that mirror.

[gently_pricking]

*she frowns slightly. Why do people want that mirror again...? She steps near, as though ready to aid if necessary.*

[by_the_pricking]

And the last time I did that, the Illusion Witches nearly caused a catastrophe. So no, I have no more desires for that mirror to aid the wicked, "Greed Blazar".

[arknpcs4]

Then I shall take it by force!

::It's arms outstretch, it might be smart to aid, dear.::

[gently_pricking]

*!??! her vines produce from her, grabbing at the arms to restrain*

Please, don't fight. If he has said he will not give it, then respect these wishes.

[arknpcs4]

I cannot!

::Struggles::

The Queen demands it, in the name of the Shadow Cosmica Empire!

::You feel them heating up.::

[by_the_pricking]

... Shadow Cosmica!?

::Pauses for a second.::

Suguru, my dear, help me get him out of here immediately.

[gently_pricking]

Of course.

*shifts for the strength and added vines, trying to ignore the feeling of the heat, hoping to pull him out before anything catches fire why would there be fire.*

[arknpcs4]

::You drag the big lug out onto the street. He's getting too hot to handle though, best to let him launch his attack by dodging! Press the Quick Time Action Button!::

[gently_pricking]

*once he's out onto the street, she lets go quickly, recoiling her vines from the heat. Just what is he going to do...?!*

[by_the_pricking]

::Appears with lightning speed, smashing the demon through unknown means, so it points up.::

I refuse to let you wreck things here, Mr. Minister.

[arknpcs4]

::The demon hacks and belches a beam of plasma into the air, reaching on and on. It seems to cool down almost immediately.::

[by_the_pricking]

Suguru, my dear, what would you recommend we do about this man?

[gently_pricking]

I feel if he is simply removed, he'll only attempt again to take the mirror by force...

A Greed Quasar is a dangerous being to let wander, isn't it? He'll cause danger to others, as well.

[by_the_pricking]

He is not simply a Greed Quasar, he is a Greed Blazar. Which means he's even more dangerous.

[gently_pricking]

A Greed Blazar...? *She's never heard of that before, but... that definitely makes it worse.

Some of her vines stiffen into sharp points at the ends.*

Then he definitely can't be trusted to be peaceful.

[arknpcs4]

::Rights himself.::

And you can't be trusted to understand what is coming, little child. Now the mirror and everything goes smoothly.

::Flexes their claws, ready to swipe.::

[gently_pricking]

I'm sorry. But you have been told otherwise, when it comes to the mirror, and have attempted to use force. You will not be receiving it.

*other vines suddenly wrap around your limbs, holding you down, the vines pointed by the Green Blazar*

Should I, sir? Or is this too forceful, myself?

[by_the_pricking]

It might be best I handle this, My Dear. Non-violence should be our solution correct?

::Says this as the Greed Blazar struggles in your grasp.::

[gently_pricking]

*she nods, but she keeps a grip on the Greed Blazar, if only to keep him in one place-- but she rescinds the pointed vines.*

Of... Of course, sir. It should be.

[by_the_pricking]

::Holds out his hand, drawing in the air slowly.::

Spiritus nequam a signari vinculis teneantur caeli

[arknpcs4]

::The Greed Blazar collapses into itself until it turns into a Rank 8 Xyz Monster Card, a glowing essence one.::

[gently_pricking]

*having nothing more to grip to, her vines retreat, as she returns to a form that's more human, looking at the card with a worried look on her face.*

An... XYZ card?

[by_the_pricking]

::Picks it up, carefully.::

More than that, my dear. A forbidden form of Xyz Monster I thought I'd never see again. "Chaos Xyz".

[gently_pricking]

Just what exactly is... Chaos XYZ?

[by_the_pricking]

Monsters created by unholy magic, used by a woman who might be considered an abomination even to our kind. No one knows how or why she created it, but it warps monsters into dark corrupted taints of their original selves.

[gently_pricking]

Why are they appearing, then? If one has shown up, there might be more around, as well.

[by_the_pricking]

... The only reasons they should be appearing is if someone broke a lock on her kingdom. And yes, I think this might be a case for us to get involved.

... If you wish, of course.

::Adjusts his tie, and then placing the card in a wrought-metal container.::

[gently_pricking]

Of course I would. If these Chaos XYZ are going to cause trouble for us, and as a result, to others... It would be undue to just ignore it.

[by_the_pricking]

Then I think it's going to be prudent I do research.

After lunch of course. Do you feel peckish for anything, dear?

::Heads back into the shop.::

[gently_pricking]

*smiles slightly, as she follows, though still looking worried. While they speak of lunch, probably good place to scene end.*
