Rank: Emperor
Handmaidens: The Red Oni Sisters
-Kasho: Two horned Red Oni. Elder Handmaiden.
-Haisoksu: One horned Red Oni. Younger Handmaiden
Harem:
Lamia Concubine: Archives clerk with some magical aptitude.
Arachne Concubine: Assassin and bane of food everywhere.
Contacts:
-Grand Princess of the Fire Dragon Clan (pending results of letter)
Pending Events:
- letters to the Grand Princess
- Webmail (Arachne sends letter of thanks to the Princess)
- the Lamia and the library
On one hand, I could be considerate and not pry ... on the other, I get the feeling this is something I should know, especially with the upcoming clan meet. The chances it won't come up by then in some way, shape or form seem slim to none. Also, I'm feeling ... what's the word? Protective? Possessive? A fair amount of both, I'd say.
"You're going to tell me," I state. "If not now, then before it becomes immediately relevant. I would, however, very much appreciate 'now'."
Not that I'm going to, but the desire is there.
Demon Emperor is pleased ^^.
... ah well, maybe I can buy one off the dwarves at some point. Or take it in combat. One of the two.
They don't comment.
After which ... personal armory seems like a fair bet, and something both myself and the sisters would enjoy going through ... though I'll likely at least try not to touch anything until I know it isn't going to explode me. Maybe pass by a dining room, see the kitchens, but the one thing I definitely want to do is go to the top of the Tower of Doom and gaze upon my newfound domain. Imperiously.
It just seems like a thing, you know?
Anyway, I inform her that myself and my handmaidens wish to be show more of the tower. See section above for places to visit.

"No," I reply, deadpan. "This is definitely one of those things you should tell me about as well in advance as possible, if you're aware of them. So that it cannot be used to get me at more of a disadvantage than I already am. So ... explain.""Oh."
"Woops..."
"Maybe we shouldn't have been the first to tell you..."
"It's a long story."
Interesting. I see a niche in quick building, engineering and putting up impromptu structures. Gonna need to run this by a craftsman/builder/etc. at some point in the near future.If cast as a ritual its a reasonably simple spell. Probably isn't as fast on the whole as concrete but there's something to be said about the roads being made of solid slabs of granite...
While technically inaccurate, this statement makes me want to yell out 'road trip!'"Well, you're lucky day then because you technically have a fleet."
Not that I'm going to, but the desire is there.

I should have expected that, rather than hope for a magitech steampunk monstrosity."Of course."
It turns out theirs are literally flying ships.
... ah well, maybe I can buy one off the dwarves at some point. Or take it in combat. One of the two.
Okay."I think I need to read more about this is learn from the mistakes someone has already made before me," I tell them. Well, that and get the Lamia something nice for picking this particular journal.
They don't comment.
Nice. Though ... yeah, unless I'm in a solitary mood, I'll probably want their company often enough as to make their quarters underused. And no, I don't just mean because they're extremely decorative and related issues.Dude, this is the Emperor's WING. Technically this entire TOWER is the Emperor's suite.
And their rooms aren't as much rooms as a pair of large personal suites...
Looking for is too strong a word. I was initially going to just wander around at random, but ... hmm ... well, I would like to see this library the Lamia was so besotted by.Yeah. Though you'll need to tell GM what you're lookign for.

Ah.]Ah, misunderstanding, then; I'd somehow gotten the impression that we were talking about the Oni sisters' uncle/father, the one that got killed, rather than the first emperor.
Their uncle was a dick.
Fair enough. What fo you want to know?Problem is that I usually avoid reading other's posts, to avoid spoilerizing myself and getting influenced.
Yes. And buff spells. Lots of buff spells.Since they're based on Scanty and Kneesocks, I suppose they use conjured or otherwise magically created weapons (scythes/axes in case of Kneesocks/Haisoksu, guns/crossbows in case of Scanty/Kaisho)?
they admit they have a great love of the beaches of the moral world, along with fancy dress and high class parties...Aside from that, I'm interested in any hobbies they might have or what they otherwise enjoy doing when they're not working,
They like to look good. They're well aware of how attractive they are to men...
Several cousins. They have a large family....and whether they have any relatives, friends or acquaintances they'd like to stay in contact with.
Below.[/quote]"I'm sorry sire, but the Princess has sent me to invite you to join her for breakfast and conversation..."Hmmm... d100?
Most have disintegrated into squabbling, been introduced to, or were destroyed with him.Hm, okay. So, what about the leftovers from the previous emperor/administration? Or are the ones I was already introduced to all that's left already?
Yep!Ah, so that's the reason she went all evil laughter and grinning when I mentioned my plans/ideas for her.
Oh? And will you swear to it so you can take her true name (since you're alone)Ironically, it also makes the original nickname I'd though of for her all the more weirdly appropriate.
Firstwould be find a way they can EAT. That would solve a lot of problems....Yeah, I'd have no problem supporting her like that for her Boon. However, I'd like to hear what her plans for the Arachne species are once she's actually secured her position.
After breakfast then?Let's start with the General, then.
Look out the windowDepends on whether they have any preferences. I'd be interested in visiting some of the Demon Realm's landmarks. Getting a view of the imperial capital,
Thats a day trip at best.visit the local Mt. Doom expy, that sort of thing.
That last one has the sisters excited! While they may be fire demons they LOVE surf and sun!Though I'm definitely filing away the fact that visiting the mortal realm isn't a problem for later. ;)Maybe have a picnic in the mountains, or spend some time chilling out on a tropical island.

They think controlingyour powers should come frist... so... BORING MEDITATION TIME!First thing, armed combat.
Style?
One handed hammer+shield or One handed Axe+Shield.
Combat style I wanna learn, tough durable, not the fastest but able to weather the worst blows, be relentless, and hit light a hammer.

That's a common trend amongst demons, aside from the Lamia, I'm starting to think.Psyckosama wrote:They're not very good with projective forms of magic.
So, when do those control-lessons start, again?That's a given.
Heh.SQUEE!!
Well, yes, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea to just do whatever the hell I feel like it. At least not all the time.You're the emperor. You say "I want a fancy party" and there is one.
So, slinky dresses are already around. What about the business suits/dresses, though?One word. Succubi.
Ah, good.In an hour or two. Enough time to become presentable.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'll be getting used to it that quickly.The maids dress and groom you. It's thier JOB.
In either case, I get ready, then go on my way to meet the princess.
Alright, then her nick- or pet name is "Asna". Now I only need to come up with something for Lamia and the Oni sisters, though for the latter I already have ideas.She LIKEs it. Strong name...
Alright, though the other one is good too...
Okay, now I'm torn between looking serious as appropriate to the situation where someone swears their entire being to me, and breaking out into laughter over the irony."My True Name is Lolth."
YOu KNOW its true. You can FEEL it.
Ultimately, I somewhat compromise and break out into a broad smirk. "You know, it's rather surprising, and more than just a little ironic, how extremely fitting that name actually is," I comment, then explain by telling her about the Spider Goddess Lolth from fiction.
Well, if they start selling their silk and poison in large quantities, the potions might become affordable. Stealth-related magic means they could become excellent scouts in the army if they joined, especialll combined with their mobility (assuming they can walk up walls/ceilings as normal spiders can), and depending on the versatility of their illusion-magic, work as entertainers, or providing "special effects" for theatre-plays and the like might also be possible.Potions are expensive and they're not very good with that kind of magic... they're more illusion and stealth
Huh, okay.It's a large, dark, and intimidating sprawl.
Hm... anything that can be done to prevent that? Seems like it'd be a rather bad thing in situation like a battlefield, where it'd basically like a beacon of "please shoot at me with everything you got" for the enemy.You tend to be rather obvious to those who know magic. LIMITLESS POWER tends to leave a signature.
Well, there goes the "incognito" part. Probably refrain from that, then.Righto. Though you'll also need a troop of defenders. Fire Demons et all.
Awesome!YEAH!
Of course? How else would you have the obligatory bathing suit episode?
So, the afternoon today, after I've had breakfast with the Princess, and spoken with the General, Duke, and possibly High Priest, I'll be going on a beach-trip to a tropical island with my handmaidens, a box with snacks, a parasol, and a few bottles of pina colada and the like. And rum, naturally.

Yes. Though I'll probably ask whether or not that kind of thing is something that is done here before actually going. I mean, the sisters did just make a note that there are indeed some demons like that. Then there's the Arachne's people's society.

An hour later this floats by with a legion of Demons and monsters on deck raising their weapons in honor of the Emperor...
Yeah, when immediate concerns have been dealt with, clan meeting and all, the Demon Emperor is going to visit the Realm's lands to take stock of his new subjects and territories.

As soon as reasonably possible.So, when do those control-lessons start, again?
Hope you know how to meditate.
YOu're not like most Demon Emperors...Well, yes, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea to just do whatever the hell I feel like it. At least not all the time.
A pointless evolution of the modern workplace.So, slinky dresses are already around. What about the business suits/dresses, though?

You're lead to her private...wing... she's sitting on a balcony. There's a small spread there and a good view of "mount doom" in the distance
"Please take a seat"
Alright.Alright, then her nick- or pet name is "Asna". Now I only need to come up with something for Lamia and the Oni sisters, though for the latter I already have ideas.
"Damn. I didn't ask you to make my a living goddess..."Okay, now I'm torn between looking serious as appropriate to the situation where someone swears their entire being to me, and breaking out into laughter over the irony.
Ultimately, I somewhat compromise and break out into a broad smirk. "You know, it's rather surprising, and more than just a little ironic, how extremely fitting that name actually is," I comment, then explain by telling her about the Spider Goddess Lolth from fiction.
she grins. "I'm so good people in other UNIVERSES can't help but say it."
She's willing to let you do most of the thinking. She's just sick of her people being the crap between your toes.Well, if they start selling their silk and poison in large quantities, the potions might become affordable. Stealth-related magic means they could become excellent scouts in the army if they joined, especialll combined with their mobility (assuming they can walk up walls/ceilings as normal spiders can), and depending on the versatility of their illusion-magic, work as entertainers, or providing "special effects" for theatre-plays and the like might also be possible.
"Control. Control. Control."Hm... anything that can be done to prevent that? Seems like it'd be a rather bad thing in situation like a battlefield, where it'd basically like a beacon of "please shoot at me with everything you got" for the enemy.
Okay.Well, there goes the "incognito" part. Probably refrain from that, then.
Lets start with princess above.So, the afternoon today, after I've had breakfast with the Princess, and spoken with the General, Duke, and possibly High Priest, I'll be going on a beach-trip to a tropical island with my handmaidens, a box with snacks, a parasol, and a few bottles of pina colada and the like. And rum, naturally.

Re: You are the Demon King...
Well, who're the ones who'd think I'm a *bad* Emperor due to this, and who're the ones who'd think I'm a *good* one because of it? Might give me an idea who'd be a likely political enemy and who a potential political ally.Psyckosama wrote:"Depends on who you ask..."
True.Each their own.
"Not yet," I shake my head, and give her an overview of what I've been up to yesterday, and my plans for today. (No talking about the sex with my harem since that would probably be in bad taste, but I mention the Arachne asking for a Boon.)She's quiet, clam, and is eating. Lots of fried foods.
"Have you begun training your abilities yet?"
"I hope I'll be able to start training this afternoon, or maybe evening, with my handmaidens since I assume they're to be responsible for it. I'm honestly a bit anxious about it; I might have little practical experience with politics or leadership, but they're something I can at least wrap my head around. Magical power, though? The whole idea still seems really strange to me. I don't suppose you might have any advice for a total novice on the topic?"
Also, if we continue talking about emperor-related business, I ask her if there is anyone to talk with regarding things like the realm's economy, or developing technology, in detail.
"Well, we'll figure something out together. Part of the problem, though, is that from what I understand food is very hard to come by for the demon realm in general, rather than just for the Arachne in particular. I'll most likely have to know more about the state of the realm in general before being able to keep up with any detailed ideas."And moments later, she's all over you.
"Of course, but if that was all I wanted I'd have never asked you for this... I'd have tried to find a nice warm hole then craw out occasionally to fuck and eat." She pauses, "Or rather eat and then fuck."
And quickly corrects herself.
And then talking apparently becomes moot as Asna gets rather frisky.

(No talking about the sex with my harem since that would probably be in bad taste, but I mention the Arachne asking for a Boon.)
"I hope I'll be able to start training this afternoon, or maybe evening, with my handmaidens since I assume they're to be responsible for it. I'm honestly a bit anxious about it; I might have little practical experience with politics or leadership, but they're something I can at least wrap my head around. Magical power, though? The whole idea still seems really strange to me. I don't suppose you might have any advice for a total novice on the topic?"
OOC basically... Orderly magic is like wizard spells. You speak the magical words, perform the magical ritual to control the elements and an effect happens. With sorcery you take the raw elemental power, smash it together, and throw it at the other guy... Kinda like Magicka... with all the pitfalls there in.
"Yes. The Goblins have quite the taste for the mechanical," she pauses, "When they're not blowing themselves up."Also, if we continue talking about emperor-related business, I ask her if there is anyone to talk with regarding things like the realm's economy, or developing technology, in detail.
Oh yes... very"Well, we'll figure something out together. Part of the problem, though, is that from what I understand food is very hard to come by for the demon realm in general, rather than just for the Arachne in particular. I'll most likely have to know more about the state of the realm in general before being able to keep up with any detailed ideas."
And then talking apparently becomes moot as Asna gets rather frisky.

Sorry, but you've been a bit too chill at this point. Not trying to punish you but the others roleplayed the frantic element rather well so this is coming of a big glaring.
Do you know this is her favorate? Might like something else more... might do to look into that.Brian Boru wrote:

Re: You are the Demon King...
it's hard for me to RP someone frantic since I've never really gotten to state like that in RL, when i'm distressed i feel numb more then anything when it comes to emotions.Psyckosama wrote:How about a d100 roll instead?Silver Sun 17 wrote:OOC: not a badass but i'm pretty good at faking confidence or calm. i put things at 60 to 40 in his favor for seeing through that false calm. if you want a redo hows this:Psyckosama wrote:OOC dude, would you really be that ice cool in this situation?

I take it you've never had one of those moments of base, primal terror.Silver Sun 17 wrote:it's hard for me to RP someone frantic since I've never really gotten to state like that in RL, when i'm distressed i feel numb more then anything when it comes to emotions.
You rolled poorly. This is one of them.
You don't have to over the top it but you basically rolled almost as bad as you can get.
You bombed your save against fear.
Hope I'm not being a dick GM but you were being WAAY to blaze about this.
Re: You are the Demon King...
...well how about one that she apparently has a passion for? Also I then quickly and quietly ask into what her favorite is...Psyckosama wrote:Do you know this is her favorate? Might like something else more... might do to look into that.
Damn...alright then...anyone I can find who's particularly good with this sort of thing?You zone out a bit but you think you made some progress.
And there went much of the day.
"Well...some progress is better than none... but I don't think I'll be shooting fireballs from my eyes or lightning from my arse anytime soon." I say jokingly. "So..who's hungry? I could eat a damn horse...."

I freeze in place at the whatever the hell is pressed against my neck touches my skin. my breath catches in my throut and my mouth goes dry as thoughts of what would happen he decided to follow through race through my mind.

He grins and walks out with a smug look and an arrogant strut.
"If you're not careful you could end up like that one's father..."
"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"
He laughs and bolts from the room with her follwing him screaming.
The Priest sighs. "Give me a moment..."
They're all gone leaving you with the orc.
"You alight, lad?"
