NightNight Crew Hideout Thread 2

((psst))

((she is artificing you))

((you are compelled to listen))

((Shaula edit: Oh, what a lovely first post.))

Kanaya stops, putting her chainsaw down. She looks straight at Droog.

I Do Apologise
What Is It You Were Saying

((Does this artifice ability affect Doc? that is, do/es I/Doc know something is wrong here?))

((Artifice actually isn't 'compelling' anyone to do anything as much as just making it easier for me to convince them to do what I want, as opposed to, say, ragey stabstab showing up and telling Kanaya the same thing as I will.))

((It's not some magical mind-control thing. (still want that, but that's probably just TOO OP, having me go Do what I want and having everyone compelled to obey is WORSE than Nightnighting) ))

((What is going on is pretty much what Doc hears- a guy with a high Artifice stat is trying to convince Kanaya to do what he wants.))

((And yes, IC post coming soon, I'm still working on it and this seemed like something that should be cleared up sooner than later.))

((incoming ic~))

((Slick you asshole that's my thing))

((Stop that))

((Yes that is the official color of OP mind-control bullshit))

< As you may have found out already, one of our members has been killed. And I mean something far more permanent than the death we usually have to deal with. His soul has been destroyed. >

< Slick obviously did not take the news well. I'm not saying I'm not upset by the loss of a Crewmember, but his reaction was far worse than mine. At this point, I'm not sure if anything other than getting what he wants will get him to stop. >

< And what we want is simple. The price for bringing someone back when his soul was destroyed is another soul in return- to be given after you die, of course, which is unlikely to happen permanently anytime soon. Especially for someone like you. >

< It will delay one of the problems, and remove another. I'm not sure what exactly this new Spades Slick is capable of, but from what I've seen, keeping him from getting what he wants will not end well at all. >

< And as I said before, it won't take effect until you're ready. >

Doc breathes a sigh of relief. Even if this ends in a physical altercation, the damage to Kanaya will be less permanent this way.

(( Captain, if you agree to sell your soul, I would like to suggest that if she leaves the RP, Kanaya be taken off the roster permenantly. ))

((agreed))

((I'd like to point out that as PSs kid, Kanaya should probably have pretty dang high Pulchritude as well, which is the stat Artifice is based on))

((So Kanaya should be pretty good at convincing people, too))

((Plus, I'd guess that people with high Pulchritude/Artifice are probably harder to convince with Pulchritude/Artifice then people with lower ones))

((I'm just saying, Kanaya shouldn't fall for it just because DD is a sweettalker))

((I mean, the closes we saw in canon to what you're trying here is when PS managed to bribe that Hired Muscle and that was, well, a hired muscle, so yeah...))

(( Hired muscle ain't too smart, and artifice is tricking people, not really charisma/beauty like pulchritude. I have no idea why I am saying this. ))

((I know, Pulchritude is something Charisma, which means you can convince people with arguments))

((Artifice was the "shadow" version or whatever you want to call it, so I figure it's convincing people by tricking them, or something like that))

((And yes, a Hired Muscle isn't anything all that impressive))

((Which is why I think Kanaya shouldn't be all that easy to trick/convince))

(*Karkat gets moving. He's not going well.While unconscious, he overheard a bit of the discussion. He staggers on his legs, barely standing,but manages to get pretty silently behind Droog, and grabs his throat weakly but desesperatly*)
-I...WON'T..LET YOU...HURT MY FRIENDS....
(*He stares at Kanaya*)
-DON'T...PLEASE...
(*It's pretty obvious that Karkat is only standing up out of sheer willpower, but he won't be able to do that for long*)

((Okay, firstly, ERIDAN is ACE DICK's kid, that pretty much proves that being someone's kid =/= having someone's powers))

((Second, we've all probably leveled up a few times since PS))

((And lastly, about the 'Permanent Kanaya removal', guys. Alt-timeline selves. Just pull a Slick and everything will be alright.))

*sighs, easily getting out of Karkat's throat grab*

< Permanent obliteration might not even happen. And besides... there aren't any better options. >

((I think the scratching-Kanaya talk is a bit rash.))
((I really don't see why she would willingly give up her soul for a random mobster. :I ))
((Maybe I missed something?))

((Honestly, I don't even know why Eridan is ADs kid, I suppose since we don't have a MK))

((All others, well, AD, the strongest man, has Equius, the strongest troll))

((PI, the guy with the highest imagination, who is usually drunk, has Gamzee, who is usually high))

((Plus, I bet Gamzee would have fairly high imagination, too))

((And about leveling up))

((I only leveled up twice since PS, once after the end of PS, when DMK and BHMK got defeated and once after I finished my questing, during the fight with Caliborn))

((And about the Alt-timelines, that WON'T be alright. Besides the fact that you are making decisions for another player, getting alt-selves is a poor way of solving it. Makes everything pretty silly and pointless in my opinion. Plus, you'd need to comeup with a good reason where they came from.))

EDIT:
((Exactly RP, this isn't something that Kanaya should do just because DD is a sweet talker))

((Seriously, imagine you were in Kanayas place, who of you would be willing to sell their soul to the devil?))

((I'm NOT making decisions for another player, I'm just giving a suggestion.))

((And about the stat thing, TAVROS.))

((Jokes on you, my headcanon is that Tavros is the second strongest after Equius, because people in wheelchairs have strong arms))

((...))

((hm))

((okay yeah that's a possibility))

((Yay~))

Kanaya steps forward, glaring at Droog.

Excuse Me This Is No Time For This Sort Of Behaviour
Now Put Him Down At Let Us Work This Out Civilly

((er... put him down? Where does it say I'm holding him?))
