I'm Basil Exposition, from DoD Intelligence! (Prologue >_

[Carthrat]

"Absolutely not," agrees Carthrat. "I left my guns in my other shirt, though, sorry."

[CyMage]

Making fake patting down motion, Sai raised an eyebrow.  "And I think I left my Staff of the Magi in my other Robes of the Archmagi."

[Carthrat]

"Yup, we're down to our own devices like mere mortals," says Carthrat. "Curses. Foiled again."

[CyMage]

"Yes, but with my brains and your brawn, we should be able to overcome anything anyways.  That's how it was, is and will be."  A small smirk made it's way onto his face again, then slipped again as he turned to the woman once more.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat chuckles. "Whatever."

He too turns back to the woman..

[Bean Bandit]

The woman smiled. "You may be down to your own devices...but I think we can help with that." She told them. "Another part of the reason we didn't call you here bodily is that compared to the inhabitants here, your bodies are somewhat breakable...."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat involuntarily winces. "That's not exactly comforting, y'know."

[Kwokinator]

"Just what do you mean by giving him a way to 'rid himself of you'?" Kwok inquired. "Do you mean that as in permanently, like killing somebody?  Or wiping someone from existence, which would probably be more appropriate for someone like you and your brother's apparent power level."

[Shukuen]

Shukuen glanced between the conversing parties, 'seating' himself to a more comfortable position and waiting while questions were answered.

[Bean Bandit]

"Nothing so dire." The woman looked amused for a moment, then her expression saddened. "I am bound by my word in a literal sense. I agreed to turn this multiverse over to him should I lose, and it is the nature of the order that makes up who I am to mean what I say." she answered grimly. "And it is against the nature of order to impose itself on others, as that creates disorder."

She sighed heavily. "Whereas my brother has the freedom to act as he sees fit, no matter the circumstances. So, were I to win, the status quo will remain undisturbed...but if he wins, I must withdraw..." she added bitterly.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat thinks. "If he can supposedly do anything he wants.. wait, you said we were fighting through.. 'avatars', didn't you? So that would supposedly mean he's going to bring in people of his own.. was there any limit on the number of avatars used? If you or he can bring in any amount, this may get messy very quickly."

[Asrana]

May hummed, leaning a little towards Bean, keeping her voice soft so as not to disturb the discussion. "Probably limited to under a dozen...well, maybe...Chaos IS Chaos, he could probably decide to trample any rules...but the effective limits of the battlefield would have to be considered..."

Pausing, she stopped talking for the moment. "Gerf...being rambly..."

Keeping her eyes on the discussion, May glanced around again the others.

[Bean Bandit]

Bean thought a minute, then leaned back to Asrana. "Maybe...From what she's saying, Chaos sounds like an ADD kid. We might be able to exploit the lack of support an leadership on his side of things." Bean paused, then smiled faintly.

"I keep telling you...be rambly all you like. The best ideas happen that way." he whispered, then turned back to the conversation himself. Is it me, or have we already made our choice?

[Bean Bandit]

"No set limit," The woman told Carthrat. "Though my brother prefers to work his influence through situations...he finds people themselves to be tiresome. You'll probably find he's limited himself to no more than the size of your group. However, if he does gather an army, I can readily do the same...and I'd have you eight lead them..."

[Kwokinator]

Kwok smirked.

"Well, I hope he gathers an army then.  Two armies, fighting to the death to protect the order and status quo of the multiverse, sounds good to me."
