PLAN TIME

[twibeast]

[ Beast waits until the next morning to say anything to the rest of the group, in part because it's a little late when they get home and he doesn't want to gather everyone on short notice and also because he needs some time to collect himself. First thing in the morning though he sends the message through discordia. ]

@ everyone
The Authority has been found.

She's one of the regulars at the Phantasma Fantastique that Sir Lion described. There is no doubt about it, she confirmed it once she realized what I was. I fortunately managed to record the conversation between us and I will upload it as soon as [ he figures out how ] I am able to.

I would like to propose a meeting at the mansion in Invidia this afternoon so we can pool together any other knowledge we have and start to formulate a plan. It should be easier to figure one out in person than over messages. If you know of any new Executors or ones who don't check their phone as often be sure to let them know.

[ He pauses a moment, thinking something over, before quickly adding: ]

On another note, I would like to make a personal request.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could all try calling me Achilles for the next little while.
Lately I have been thinking of picking a new name for myself and am quite fond of this one so I would like to hear how it sounds coming from everyone else before I make up my mind. Don't worry though, I will still respond to Beast if you call me that instead.

Thank you. I shall see you all later today.


[ A few hours later, with some help from Rei, the audio file gets uploaded to the group chat. The irrelevant stuff with the "masked guest" and security has been cut so all it includes is his conversation with Greta from beginning to end, but he still provides a time stamp to when she reveals herself for anyone that wants to get to the point. The audio quality is shockingly well for being in his pocket the whole time, so both he and Greta can be heard clearly. (because that'll just make it easier for all of us) In case anyone misses it or needs a refresher, he plays it again at the meeting, right at the start.

Now, let's hash this out. ]

I'm sure he would if left to his own devices. You know him.

[swordofajerk]

No, I really don't, but also, I really don't care. You're being a child. Get out.

[emberserker]

I was here first! You think you can order me around?

[swordofajerk]

You're the one throwing a fit over two people kissing. Obviously you're not mature enough to be any use here.

[emberserker]

I'll show you. You think you can insult everything I do and say I'm dragging the group down? I'm sure you're not half as strong as I am, that your tactics can barely be qualified to exist, and that your impatience will just lead you to wander off before we manage to get rid of this Authority!

[swordofajerk]

If you're trying to prove me wrong, you're doing a terrible job. Try again.

[emberserker]

I won't have to. You'll prove it yourself in due time.

[swordofajerk]

And when I don't? Are you just going to throw another tantrum or say that "this doesn't count" or something equally as childish?

[emberserker]

Surely you're just going to keep saying I'm a load or something equally asinine even if you see otherwise, so I don't see why you're pointing that at me.

[swordofajerk]

Because between the two of us, I have actual proof when I call you a nuisance and a danger to the rest of us in a fight. You're just a brat.

[emberserker]

I've never so much as hit any of you in a battle!

[swordofajerk]

Is that because you actually have skill, or because everyone else knows better than to get near you?

[emberserker]

Of course they know not to get in my way, and I'll have you know I'm far better than your two minutes of observation led you to think. What is your problem?

[swordofajerk]

My problem is you're a reckless, cocky brat who thinks she's the Goddess's gift to mankind and throws a fit when people don't fall to their knees in deference.

[emberserker]

I am --

[...who? What? It had to be something, enough that it must have made her better, right? Otherwise she wouldn't have such a strong reaction. But...]

-- a perfectly good Executor and I'd like to say I've more than proven myself long before some newcomer waltzes in with a problem with me.

[swordofajerk]

Except you haven't, and I don't think I'm the only one with a problem with you.

[Since. Yeah, he's seeing how Ruin's taking your bullshit.]

[emberserker]

Very well. If you're being so stubborn about it, I'll show you all. Myself!

[And with Ruin's reaction, she gets up and leaves, grumbling to herself.]

[twibeast]

[ Beast returns a few moments later, after hearing the shouting and just... looks at both spots where Ruin and Wolfsbane had just been. ]

...What in hells did I just miss?

[ seriously what the fuck. ]

[daughterofthemark]

I don't know. They suddenly became angry with each other.

["seriously what the fuck" sure is a mood]
