Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/5/2020 5:40:56 AM[quote]The door is opened by a man in golden armor who assesses you with displayed interest. You're shoved from behind by two armored soldiers, cloaked in black. Having no choice, you step into the dim lighting of a 15th-century room. "Please... have a seat." A gaunt figure, cloaked in dark robes, gestures to the stool across from his table. "I'm not so barbaric as to have you standing while you... stand trial." The figure sniffs, either amused at his own words, or disgusted by your presence. "Well- I assume your peasant mother had the decency to name you- or am I mistaken?"[/quote]

[spoiler]Thank you so much for waiting! Unexpected errands popped up and I couldn't access my laptop or phone. Hope to have fun with you![/spoiler] [quote]A soldier from behind strikes you across the head with the butt of his halberd. “Silence!” roars the guard. “You’ll address Monseigneur Frollo after he speaks, no sooner, you hear!” The robed Judge leans back in satisfaction, smirking at your pain. “Yes... he’s quite right. Although, an infamous gentleman such as Rogue, deserves more respect than... harshly shown.” Frollo laces his skeletal fingers together. “Tell me... what do you specialize in? I’ve heard rumors, yes, but only rumors.” Tilting forward, Frollo’s shadow eclipses dripping candles. “And you’re here... for [i]facts[/i].” [/quote]

Edited by Cleverly Stupid: 12/6/2020 3:37:45 PMRogue taps his foot on the floor. "...I suppose I am." He shifts in the chair uncomfortably. He blinks. "...I specialize in bounties. You could say I'm a mercenary." Rogue's eyes start to flit around the room, surveying his surroundings.

Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/8/2020 2:25:31 AM[quote]He sees a windowless room of cobblestones, five guards stand behind him while the one in golden armor positions himself next to the Judge. "I see..." Frollo resumes his previous posture. "Tell me... mercenary... where do you cross the line in... killing?" The soldier in golden armor reaches under the table, slamming a full sack against the table. Gold coins slip out, spilling into Rogue's lap. "There's more waiting if you answer correctly." [/quote]
-
Rogue cocks an eyebrow. "You're...offering me a job?"
-
Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/8/2020 2:25:59 AM[quote]The Judge sniffs. "A blind beggar is more perceptive than you..." Frollo pinches a single coin between his fingers, rubbing its silver face. "...but not as capable, no. A beggar has a conscious, but you... well, I ask again, where do you draw the line? Righteous judgment must be dealt by a swift hand, one with [i]no[/i] lines." The coin is coldly tossed into the fireplace.[/quote]
-
Rogue's eye twitches. He sighs. "I draw the line at children."
-
Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/8/2020 2:27:18 AM[quote]"Understandable, it is not children I ask you to kill, or even humans." His features sour into a scowl. "They are insects, and you, the stone which to crush them." Frollo's eyes darkened. "Do not be mistaken, my son, they may appear like children, some may take the form of innocent mothers, but they are not- they are g*y*p*s*i*e*s-!" His fist pummels the table, bouncing the spilled coins. "Their stained race must be cleansed with Hell fire!"[/quote]
-
Rogue leans forward slightly, intrigued. He hasn't had a challenge in a while. "What would this race be, exactly?" [spoiler]Frollo's from Hunchback of Notre Dame, right?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Ding DING DING![/spoiler] [quote]"A band of lowly nomads, hailing from the pagan country of India." He pauses, too overcome by wrath for proper speech. Frollo then straightens the folds of his robes, gradually regaining composure. "They are a plague to this city and must die- every male and female, mother and father, innocent and guilty. All must die- regardless of age." [/quote]
-
Knowing that angering this man could be the end of him, Rogue weighs his words carefully. "That's...a bit of a hard task."
-
[quote]"I don't understand... how could executing divine judgement be considered... difficult?"[/quote]
-
"Well, It'd depend on how many there are," Rogue says. "If there are, say a thousand, I'd need some assistance."
-
[quote]"No." Judge Frollo frowns deepens. "There are hundreds, not a thousand, and you will not receive help of [i]any kind.[/i] In case you weren't aware, this meeting and your job may be more... [i]unorthodox[/i]. We don't need to acquire the wrong attention." He gestures with his head, signaling the guards to step closer. "You will not tell [i]anyone[/i] of this meeting, and you [i]will[/i] accept my offer." Several guards overshadow Rogue. "Just speaking to you is a threat to my position, one I cannot jeopardize."[/quote]
-
Edited by Cleverly Stupid: 12/8/2020 1:29:21 AM"You're crazy. Hundereds? Why the hell would you hire [i]anyone[/i] to kill that many people?" Rogue shakes his head. "What are your motives here?"
-
[spoiler]For some reason, bungie censors the word G*y*p*s*i*e*s as -blam!-[/spoiler] [quote]Frollo stands, thudding the table with his fist. "I don't need a motive! I am Monseigneur Claude Frollo, divinely appointed judge of the church! I do as I see [i]fit[/i], and [i]you[/i] obey on pain of death!"[/quote]
-
Edited by Cleverly Stupid: 12/8/2020 1:56:52 AMRogue stands up to leave. "I'm out."
-
[quote]"You can't leave." Seven soldiers lay a hand on Rogue's shoulders while the one in golden armor unsheathes a sword. "No one can know of this."[/quote]
-
Edited by Cleverly Stupid: 12/8/2020 2:05:05 AMA quarterstaff made of pure obsidian appears in Rogue's hand. There are spear tips on each end. "By the time I'm done with all of you, no one will."
-
[quote]Judge Frollo backs away to a rear door, pointing at Rogue in surprised horror. "Witchcraft- Kill the devil! KILL IT!!" All seven guards thrust their weapons at Rogue as Frollo escapes through the back door with the guard in gold.[/quote]
-
Rogue ducks under the weapons and rolls away from the guards, setting into a battle stance and says, "Bring it."
-
[quote]Two guards with swords rush him from front and back, while the other five attempt to stab his head, stomach, and legs with their halberds from a distance. Judge Frollo and the soldier in gold disappear up the back door. [/quote]
-
Rogue skirts to the side, letting the soldiers rushing him colldide. He blocks a soldier's swing at his ribs and whacks them with the side of his quarterstaff, knocking them out. He thrusts the palm of his free hand at another soldier nearby, and an unknown force thrusts them into the wall. He turns to the other five, awaiting their move.
-
[quote]One of the soldiers shouts a command to the others. "Gagnez du temps pour l'évasion de Monseigneur!" They nod, circling Rogue. "Die diable saleté!" In unison, they jab their halberds at Rogue, aiming for various vital spots.[/quote]
