abyssianmelodyWho: Anise, Balir, some random Oracle Knights
Where: Outside the Tartarus and then later to Shurrey Hill
When: During the Tartarus attack, after Anise falls out the window
Warnings: None really
A reasonable sized group of Oracle Knights was standing outside the window Anise had just fallen out of. This group was keeping the Tartarus itself surrounded in case the Fon Master attempted to escape. Once the boy had been secured, Balir and his men would serve as an escort to Shurrey Hill which was relatively close to their current location.
Balir himself was taking note of the Tartarus itself while he waited on those idiots aboard to obtain their target. It was a fine piece of fontech for this day and age, and he just couldn't help but make a quick sketch of it, for reference of course. He was very much looking forward to Shurrey Hill, that would be the most interesting part of this mission.
While he had been looking up to take note of the higher parts of the landship, he saw a figure suddenly come out of one of the windows. She appeared as if she may fall onto him, so he continued his sketch while he stepped to the side a bit so she could instead hit the ground. He could tell by the color of her uniform that it wasn't the Fon Master, but one of his guardians, so what happened to her was of no consequence to him.
He was rather surprised when she ended up landing on top of him and they both ended up on the ground. His Knights for a moment tried to contain themselves and then as if they could not help themselves, they burst out into laughter at their commander yet again being taken victim by his obsession with fon machines. They quickly recovered and had him surrounded in case the girl who landed on top of their commander tried to run away.
He frowned, he had thought he stepped enough away that this wouldn't happen. Was his vision getting worse with his advanced age? That would have to be checked out later. For now he had to deal with the fact that he had a small girl on top of him who appeared to be one of the enemy and even though she didn't weigh that much, it was quite the hindrance to have her on his chest like that, made it more than a bit difficult to breathe.
And he wasn't pleased by the fact that he knew her landing had ruined his sketch.
Using the arm that wasn't gripping his sword, he tried to push himself to a sitting position and force the girl off him. Then he could proceed with the business of taking her as a hostage for the time being, if there was any worth to her as a hostage. If there wasn't, she'd merely be another test subject for his weapon which should be ready to deal quite the shock to its victim considering how long he had waited and let it gather fonons. To his disappointment, it seemed her weight added too much for him to easily get up.
And obviously his men found this most amusing, so much so that they had lost their brains and didn't even think of the sensible solution of removing the enemy from their commander. They would definitely receive a harsh reprimand for that later. At least they had enough brains in their heads to make sure she didn't escape, that was amazing enough. It looked like he would have to deal with the issue in a calm and rational manner since his men were rather lacking as far as brains went.
"If it would please you, Fon Master Guardian, could you perhaps get up so my men can stop being amused and get about the business of capturing you?" He said to her as best as he could manage considering the situation.
Yes, there would be a harsh reprimand for his men later, just for how long he had to put up with this embarrassment.

Date: 2008-11-23 11:38 am (UTC)He quickly stood up and the first thing he also saw was his small sketchbook lying on the ground and he quickly picked that up. True, it was small and it was a quick diagram he had made, but still, thanks to this girl, it was now inaccurate. And also thanks to her, his pen was nowhere in sight.
She would definitely pay for this. He quickly tucked the small book into an inner pocket of his jacket. His men however seemed frozen in place. Did he truly have to do everything himself? It wasn't that hard for a single person to capture a small girl. He turned around sword at ready so he could deal with the girl, then he could have those idiots figure out where his pen went to. True, he had a spare, but the one he had been using was the best one, the only one suited for something so important as the passage rings.
He was the closest to her at this time and could see she was trying to make her escape. He closed the distance quickly enough. "Oh no, you aren't getting away, little guardian. Be glad that you have a use, or else you'd be a test subject about now." He said to her as he reached around her with his sword to catch her in a firm grapple. From his experience, most of those who felt the fonons coming off his sword tended to stay away from it out of self preservation, he hoped this girl was the same because he wasn't actually supposed to kill her. But accidents can well happen and it would just be a bunch of tedious paperwork to explain.
She'd realize shortly what he meant. Even from the distance his sword was from her neck already, she had to be feeling the third fonons it had gathered. "So you have a choice, child. You can come with us, or you can be recorded in my journal as yet another test subject. Certain death, or being reunited with the Fon Master shortly? Your choice should be an easy one."

Date: 2008-11-23 04:45 pm (UTC)Her threat was amusing, however, especially considering her current situation. Her show of strength in the face of danger was definitely an admirable trait for one so young. "You are very welcome to try to 'get me' as you put it. If you can escape from your current position, that is."
He'd have to keep a hold of this girl for now. It was obvious his men wouldn't be able to deal with her, with that mouth of hers, he wouldn't be surprised to see her try something dirty to escape, but he didn't doubt his ability to handle one small girl, especially once the Fon Master arrived.
But what was taking them so long? The ship was stopped, so Arietta had to have taken it. How hard was it to catch one young boy who wasn't even able to fight? He did remember that Arietta had been a Fon Master Guardian herself, maybe she'd taken it into her head to do something not mentioned in their orders.
"You three over there, go aboard and see what's taking Arietta's men so long to capture the Fon Master!" He said as he gestured with his free arm as best as he could to three of the soldiers. They ran away quickly to follow his orders. "The rest of you, find what happened to my pen when this girl landed on me. I'd like to finish my diagram before we leave."
And then to Anise he had one last thing to say. "By the way, don't think you're going to get off easy for ruining my diagram."
((ooc: I loled at the mention of Balir being a marriage prospect if he wasn't the enemy. Now I wonder at how she'll react when she meets Guy, poor Guy))

Date: 2008-11-24 04:17 am (UTC)Good, so his men weren't complete idiots after all. There were times he had his doubts about that and wondered how they even could function, with one of two exceptions who were actually capable of writing reports.
Of course, he couldn't exactly finish the diagram and keep a hold on this girl. He frowned, he really did want to get a good sketch of the Tartarus, it was the most advanced landship in existence at this time, and only beat out by the Albiore as far as advancement went. True, he was more interested in the passage ring, but couldn't exactly pass up this chance.
Maybe about five of his men might have enough brains combined to keep her with them for as long as it took for the other three to figure out what was taking Arietta so long. He'd be glad enough when all this waiting was over, because he figured the girl would cooperate more when the Fon Master.
To be on the safe side, he'd have all his remaining men watch the little spitfire. If he gave orders to kill her if she escaped, she probably wouldn't, she obviously valued her life enough to not risk it in an outright stupid way.
"All the rest of you, keep an eye on this girl while we wait. If she tries to escape, kill her."
He shoved Anise towards one of them men. "But, wait, what about our orders?" one of them asked.
"Questioning a direct order? Accidents can always happen you know. Would you like to become one?"
"No sir!"
The other knights took over keeping an eye on Anise. With that, the blonde God-General took out his small sketch book and went back to drawing the outside of the Tartarus. He had to start over again thanks to the girl, but if he was quick about it, he should have it done before the other three returned.
And out of the corner of his eye he made sure to keep an eye on the little spitfire in pink.

Date: 2008-11-25 06:19 pm (UTC)He didn't fail to notice the girl and her dirty looks towards him, especially the rather uncouth tongue sticking out at him. It reminded him of his daughter, though she was a much younger age when she still did that. He wasn't bothered that this girl obviously disliked him, he didn't try to be liked. He had a mission to accomplish, and her escape would hinder it.
Now he had nothing to do but wait until the fon master arrived. He could torment this girl more, it was actually slightly amusing.
He got an idea of something to do. He flipped the small book to a new page. Continuing to look towards the Tartarus so she didn't suspect, he instead drew her from memory.
However, he added a few details, the tongue sticking out, a tail, some horns, and a set of devilish wings. Perfect for such a girl. He was quite impressed at how he had quickly portrayed such realism, though she did appear a bit flat. But then, he was no artist, he only meant to portray things for the sake of recreating them and understanding how they were built.
Now having finished that he was really starting to wonder just what happened to those three idiots he sent to go see what the delay was. They were supposed to have left for Shurrey Hill already. He was tempted to go check on things himself, but he had a feeling if he did that he would merely come back to find his men dead or unconscious and the girl gone.
So he'd merely have to wait patiently, which was hard. Finally after all this time in the Order he was going to get to see the passage rings up close, such fonts of beautiful Dawn Age technology were worth the wait.
