Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

[Well, she was just going to quest for some undisclosed thing from Caretaker.

But she found somebody else there! What a surprise.]

Ahh, so this is where you have been hiding.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Would hardly call it "hiding". I prefer the term "imprisoned".

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

I do apologize for my impertinence. I was just pleasantly surprised to see you again.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Didn't mean it like that.

( waving her closer. )

Although I must confess I don't know how many days it's been since I saw you last.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

[She sits across from Hawke, cross legged.]

Nor I. Much has transpired, and the days have blurred together.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Did I miss anything good?

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

I assume you have been told of Nyssa's coup?

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Do you mean the realm change or more? I was here for the overthrowing of the Queen bit.

A little played out if you ask me.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

The Queen has since been freed, but Nyssa remains in control. However, Nyssa has only deigned to torment us openly a couple times. Most recently, she made copies from several people, including your acquaintance, Daisy.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Wasn't she under some form of mind control?

( the words "mind control" come out like poison in her mouth. )

You know Daisy?

( she knows she does [from daisy], but she's curious that daisy has spoken of her to her. )

And the copies? What is she doing with them?

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

[She looks down, still slightly angry.]

...Yes, for a time. But we freed her. I was there. She is using the copies as her minions, now.

[She looks up now, and nods, smiling warmly.]

I consider her a friend, yes. She is a lovely person, and she speaks quite highly of you. And I have great respect and admiration for the both of you.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Who else did she make copies of?

( nyssa's been busy.

then . . .? )

I don't recall having done anything worthy of either admiration or respect? Unless you count assault?

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

Many people. A former member of my team, Diz, and Ochre from Tiamat, and Rook from Amalthea. Many others, but those I remember quite vividly.

[She shrugs.]

You carry yourself well. I respect that.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Hmm. Surprising. You'd think she'd just bend the Cats to her will again. Unless she can't with the Queen awake?

I always appreciate a compliment.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

I do not believe that she can, though I am not certain why. I suspect that her powers are limited by certain factors.

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[trident]

Interesting.

What might your theory on those factors be?

Re: Day 199, Early afternoon

[cihuatlatoani]

She cannot simply destroy us in one fell swoop. She must gather her power through terror and despair. If she could have eliminated us, she would have. We do pose a threat to her, and we have already weakened her power.

No, she clearly gathers her strength for games to weaken us. My greatest worry is that many have recently gone to the mirrors. That means less opposition for her.
