“Two weeks huh…”

You eye the ceiling of Cinder’s old stateroom as you lounge in the bloodbath there. Since the Bloodletter left with Acerea you’ve been maintaining control of the fleet from here. Initially you thought to use your own quarters on the Raptor but it turned out the Blank had moved in next door. And that just wouldn’t do. Besides, it’s not like Cinder will mind you using her room, right?

Of course not.

And if she does, all you have to do is pout until she gives you a headpat. It’s almost too easy to manipulate her that way. Everything about the current situation is going just as planned - from the “discovery” of the Engine to your control of the splinter fleet. Every actor (save the Blank) is
where they should be, which reminds you…

You tap your data slate and raise the bridge on the vox. “Get a message out to the fleet. I want a single broadside volley from every ship directed at the following coordinates in precisely twenty minutes.”

“Ma’am.” Great, it’s the Blank. “There’s nothing at those coordinates, nor anything in that direction on any star chart for lightyears.”

“You have your orders, so follow them.”

With that you close the comm link. It’d take far too long to explain and you don’t really feel in the mood to justify yourself to anyone at the moment. Save Cinder, you suppose, but she’s not exactly here. But even then that’d be a complex conversation. “Yes I planned all of this but your damned headpats are addicting, you stupid red thing.” Yeah. That’d go over great. Best to just keep things close to your chest for now. You’ll explain everything when the time is right, not a moment before.

Right on time the ship rocks slightly. You pull up one of the external camera feeds and count under your breath.

“3… 2… 1…”

The instant you hit zero a merchant fleet exits the Immaterium right into the path of the deadly barrage. Each of the twenty-some-odd ships are torn apart before they can react. Some even fail to exit the Warp entirely before their engines and Gellar fields die. A grisly fate, but again, just as planned. What better way to make sure the Lord Inquisitor Caidin doesn’t get his bottle of Amasec during the upcoming Opera on Scintilla?

Yes, the Opera. One of those “high culture” events that the nobles of Hive Sibellus attend once a year if only for appearance’s sake. It’s there that you’ll be beginning your little reign of chaos while Cinder’s away. You have several plans in place, all stemming from the destruction of that single crate of liquor. It’s just a matter of choosing one.

I didn't know she could sing! Besides, an opera seems like it could be fun.

Most social gatherings among the upper echelons of society tend to rely heavily upon the work of countless service personnel. Though most nobles will bring their own servants the venue itself will still have them. Relevant to you and the Opera is the fact that Lord Caidin will be expecting a very specific vintage delivered to him at the height of “La Donne è mobile.” If you show up at the right time, just when his staff begins to panic about what to do, you’ll be able to offer up their “salvation” in the form of a bottle from “Inquisitor Cinder’s Personal Collection.”

The bottle itself can be many things, each serving its own purpose:
Actually a 763.M39 Bottle of Amasec. Cinder gets some attention from the Lord Inquisitor in charge of the entire Calaxis Inquisition.
A poisoned bottle tailored to Caidin’s genetic code. Mixed properly it won't be detected by his taste tester until the man is already dying. Or turning into a Chaos Spawn.
A 762.M39. Caidin’s a snob and will be upset to the point of ruining the entire Opera.
A poisoned bottle that will turn the first to drink it into a Chaos Spawn.

And so on. Whether or not Cinder’s involved is also up for debate. It’s the kind of choice that will lead to either a grand scene with you eliminating some very important individuals all at once or simply sowing some seeds to reap later. Worst case you can always change plans mid-plan and claim it was all according to plan later.

Also, we should burn down the theater.

>>36825979

For now you’ll tentatively settle on getting Cinder some clout. As with all plans it’s best to play it by ear once you’re in the thick of it.

A beep from your data slate interrupts your chain of thought. It seems a certain Blood Raven isn’t happy with the fact he’s been involved in yet another massacre. You’ve placated him in the past by offering him salvage rights but something about the fact he’s choosing to broadcast himself fully armored tells you that’s not going to work this time.

You slip a little lower in the bloodbath and answer the vox. “What is it, Gallienus?”

His helmet does nothing but amplify his rage. “I grow tired of butchering innocents in the name of the ‘Inquisition.’ It’s getting harder and harder to justify it to those under me. There’s already whispers that we’re repeating the past and they’re not wrong. So enough. We’re-”

You narrow your eyes and cut him off with a small ‘ahem,” “You’ll what, Gallienus? Run away? Tell the Imperium that you’ve actually been working for Chaos but had a change of heart? Attempt to take us by force? Hmmm?”

“We are prepared to do what we should have done weeks ago. But if you will remove the exterminatus bomb from our vessel we will be happy to go in peace.”

“Usually the one holding the trigger to the explosives makes the demands.”

“It is not too late for us to return to the Emperor’s Grace, daemon.”

Well this was bound to happen at some point. Better now than when you’re orbiting Scintilla.

“Fine. You’re free to go. Have fun doing whatever it is you do that isn’t stealing everything.”

Despite his helmet you can almost see the confusion and anger on the Space Marine’s face. “And the bomb?”

You roll your eyes and wave your hand about mystically. A very convincing projection of the bomb appears in the same hand. “There, happy? You can verify that it’s actually gone by checking the auxiliary refuse pump.” In reality you just switched the auxiliary pump with one they had in storage, but they don’t need to know that.

“Don’t think this is over daemon. We’ll be back one day.”

“Yeah yeah, just get on with it already. I have a bloodbath to enjoy.”

Gallienus scoffs then closes the comm. The window on your data slate is replaced with textual inquires from the Captains of the Raptor and Inferno why the Battle Barge is spooling up their engines. You’ll answer them in a second. First comes the Ravens.

Returning to your external feed, you spin it to look at the Barge. Just as the folds of space begin to warp around it you force your own will and power into them. Without being made aware, the Ravens willingly delve into a contained bubble in the Immaterium - one where time has no meaning. Given the fact that they’re already tainted on some level you’re almost positive their stay there will be rather beneficial towards fixing their mindset.

Or they’ll all get eaten by your fellow daemons. Either’s fine by you. It’s not like you had planned to use their drop pods for a dramatic entrance or anything.

The beeping of your daya slate reminds you about the messages you have yet to send to the remaining Captains.

Make them thing they've done something to earn favor and therefor a mission. It'll make the others envious and step up their own game. Get some competitiveness that'll only benefit us more.

>>36827465
ELH never goes for smut. I honestly don't see the problems with having a Slaaneshi in a non-smut quest, especially if they're a war machine.

Think >>36827441 or some variation of "Just as Planned" wins.

Eh, let's not overuse that line. Save it for later, no?

You're right. He doesn't go for it, but some of the players did. Again I don't know the whole reasoning as I skimmed it. I just remember She Who Thirsts not being a whole big thing.

>>36827526
Slaanesh straight up needs some non-smut representation.

ELH, yay or nay? No skin off my balls either way.

>>36827666
ELH already said no because of a certain tripfag.

Just drop it. We've been through this before.

>>36827666
He's already said nay many times

>>36827694
When it comes to Slaaneshis, "nay" means "yay" and "yay" means "anal."

>>36827718
However an exterminatus is still an exterminatus

>>36827685
>>36827694
And why should a single tripfag matter?

>>36827912
Because he was annoying, and having fun.

>>36827363

In order to inspire a little competitiveness you craft a reply that more or less implies the Ravens are doing a special task as a reward for having your favor. You make sure to be just vague enough to not be insulting and so that they will not end up asking you for more details.

With that out of the way you can return to your bloodbath until your arrival at Scintilla. In a way, the Ravens leaving makes explaining your arrival a little easier. You aren’t really expecting anyone to ask questions of either a Rogue Trader or a ship broadcasting an Inquisitorial IFF but it helps that neither is being flanked by a Battle Barge. Still, you should probably make sure the crew of the Raptor is at least clear on procedure should any Inquisitorial types come knocking.

The next couple of Warp Jumps go without incident. By the time you’ve arrived in orbit above Scintilla you’re more or less comfortable with leaving the ships and attending to business personally. A quick mask of your daemon presence and illusionary weave sees you flying down to Hive Sibellus in guise of a normal adept. Both should hold up to all but the most thorough of checks against corruption, which is good considering that the =][= will be in attendance at the Opera. Then again, it’s not like half the nobles that will be crammed into the Lucid Palace aren’t already corrupted in some way. You’re not really worried about it.

(cont)

>>36827912
He shouldn't. But unfortunately ELH seems to think this is any way makes him upset rather than either mildly annoyed or greatly satisfied depending on if it is a troll or not.

>>36827929

What you ARE worried about is how to worm your way into the support staff for the event. Again you’ve planned for this so it just involves making a choice.

First, you had a head cook “mysteriously get ill.” You could be his replacement. Second, there’s always the psyker-at-the-door that does basic mind probing to prevent daemonhosts from getting in. It’d be bitterly ironic and perhaps fitting. Third, you could just snatch a waitress (or whatever the nobles are calling their glorified maids these days) and replace her.

>>36827938

After reflecting for a bit, you realize that the best way to make sure you get into the Opera without having to do too much mind-warping is to go along with the Rogue Trader, Lucius. It takes you only a few moments to get him on the horn.

“Ahh, our lovely little bird wants my attention. What can I do for you?” It’s not as flirty of a tone as the one he uses on Cinder but damned if it’s still not there.

“Save it Lucius. I need your help to get into Opera in the Lucid Palace tomorrow night.”

“That dusty old thing? It wouldn’t do to coop up such a colorful lady in…”

“Yeah yeah, you want to bone everything that moves, blah blah blah. I half wonder how you’re not a Slaaneshii already.”

“Well someone’s a spitfire today. Not that I mind~”

You consider hanging up but fuck it. Plans are plans.

Switching tract, you quickly explain your idea of hiding amongst his attending staff to gain entrance. “...since they’re not heavily examined for fear of insulting some of the Inquisitorial types.”

A moment of silence follows, then haughty laughter. “You DO realize you’ll be expected to be in appropriate attire, right?”

“Unfortunately yes. Knowing you that’s probably something entirely too lacy.”

“Mhm~” he replies. “But for you I’ll find something that doesn’t make you a trophy maid as a favor to Cinder.”

You pinch the bridge of your nose. “I shouldn’t be surprised that there’s even such a thing as a trophy maid but… alright fine. Whatever. Just tell me where to meet you…”

---

24 hours later sees you amidst a large group of underlings behind Lucius as he strides towards the Lucid Palace. Though the building is impressive, resembling that of a stone flower, what’s grabbed your attention is the amount of flair present in the crowd around you. Every noble, even Lucius, has a large retinue of people whose purpose seems to be only to look important and impressive. You could have easily been one of them instead of the “maid” you are now.

Speaking of which, Lucius actually managed to find something slightly tasteful. The frilly skirt actually makes it halfway to your knees! And the amount of cleavage you’re forced to expose isn’t as much as some of the others, even among the other nobles’ groups. In fact, the only people who stand out as being different are the Inquisitorial types. Their dress is very conservative and puritan, even the women. There’s no sign of Lord Inquisitor Caidin though.

“Nervous?” asks Lucius as you find yourself suddenly at the forefront of his group.

>>36828805

You roll your eyes as you reply as demurely and sarcastically as possible. “Of course I am. How could I be in such a naughty outfit?”

To his credit, the Rogue Trader doesn’t stop in place but for a moment. “Careful, I might believe you the next time.”

“Uh huh. And I might set you up with one of those Lady Inquisitors next time.”

“Oh! Could you? That one there looks rather fetching…”

A sigh serves as your response at first. “Don’t expect me to ‘fetch’ anything either.”

He laughs again. “Well I do hope this little favor I’m doing means you’ll be getting me a date with Cinder.”

>>36829526
A war zone. Failing that, a really nasty mosh pit.

>>36829576
Or a hunting trip to a death-feral world

>>36829241

A date with Cinder? You could probably get her in a general area with him. After that? It’d come down to Lucius’ skill with a sword. And not in the sexual sense either. Though neither is likely to impress the Bloodletter, you agree. “If that’s what you want Lucius, then it can happen.”

His smile almost doubles. “Splendid! Well we’re almost at the door now. Should I make some sort of grand show like every else so you can slip away or…?”

“Just do whatever is considered standard for these things.”

“As you wish…”

Near the granite steps of the palace the crowd of VIPs begins to funnel into two orderly queues demarcated by velvet ropes. Wide enough to accommodate three people shoulder to shoulder, most of the nobles end up in front of their groups like some sort of military commander leading a march. Those with dates are less noticeable, but again the Inquisitors stand out. They come in long lines of singles, in numbers that make you wonder if the entire Tricorn has turned out.

By the time you’ve reached the door proper you still haven’t seen the Lord Inquisitor. You could lag behind a little and check again but it does seem like the psykers at the entrance seem keen on getting everyone in as quickly as possible.

Okay quick fact check since I don't have all my PDFs in front of me (different computer for tonight): Which Inquisitor(s) have been mentioned in the tabletop splat books as being psykers? It's not a big deal but I do like to have at least some canon consistency.

Deciding not to press your luck you fall in with the rest of Lucius’ crowd. When he steps up to the psykers he calmly states, “I am Lucius van Rosmalen, head of the Rosmalen family and Rogue Trader of the Imperium.” Following that the psykers’ brows angle for a moment. Like all of the nobles before him, you note that Lucius casually tips a large amount of gelt into a bowl next to the psychics. It must be either a culturally acceptable bribe or just the “right” thing to do. Certainly none of the underlings have to do so.

In any case, the psykers smile and wave him in after about ten seconds. Their mind-probing continues down the line of servants until they reach you. Following procedure, you state, “I am Lacy Soph, a simple maid for Mr. Rosmalen.”

What happens next almost makes you wonder whether some higher power than even Tzeentch is messing with you.

> [WARNING: The following scene has been rated AS for Advanced Silliness]

(cont)

>>36830408

When the first psyker attempts to read your mind he visibly recoils. “Are… are you a blank, miss?”

“Not that I’m aware, Sir.”

He looks to his fellow. “Frank, can you…?”

“Sure.”

“Frank” repeats the process, and he too recoils. “No she’s not a blank. But… But that can’t be right. No one is that normal.”

They quickly call over the psykers from the other line. They too have a mini-crisis.

“All I can tell is that she really REALLY like cats!”

“By the Emperor, if that is normal, then what are we?! Are WE the daemons?!”

This of course attracts the attention of several nearby Inquisitors, including those who have already managed to get inside. The first, a wizened man in plain robes and a hammer on his back, introduces himself as Lord Dhar.

“What seems to be the problem, young psykers?”

They turn to him as a group and begin babbling about how normal you seem. Which just seems to illicit a smirk from Dhar.

“Now now, if she was a daemon old Warp Crusher here would react to it.” He pats his hammer for emphasis. Seeing it yourself up close you instantly identify it as a daemon hammer of some renown.

“What’s all this then?” butts in another Inquisitor, this one in puritan robes and seals. “What are the blasted mutants crying about this time?”

“They say that she’s too normal, Tyrus.”

Tyrus practically spits on the psykers. “Bah. They think any human that isn’t twisted like them isn’t normal. But no matter, I shall prepare a test.”

As he somehow produces a pitcher of water and the Emperor's Tarot, a woman steps forward. For an Inquisitor, she’s oddly nice. “Hi honey,” she begins. “I’m Lady Vallerie. Would you mind if I took a look at your mind?”

You smile and curtsey, “Not at all M’lady.”

She, like the other psykers, tries to scan your mind. When she comes back to herself she’s visibly pale. “I… I don’t know. But if that’s normal then I have sent many innocents to their death.”

(cont)

>>36830417

Tyrus again all but froths at the mouth as he thrusts the pitcher of water at you. “Drink this, maid. If you choke, you die. While you do so I shall determine the innocence of all present.”

It turns out the water is holy water and his method for determining innocence is to consult the Tarot. You have zero problem with the former (only a pathetic chaos spawn would) and the latter turns out to be in your favor.

“She’s innocent you idiots. But YOU!” He points to Vallerie. “YOU. ARE. A. HERETIC!” He doesn’t even give her time to reply before withdrawing dual bolt pistols and unloading into her. Gore splatters over all present, but that’s not even the disturbing part. The disturbing part is Vallerie is laughing. And turning pink.

“So you figured me out after all. Well done, you idiots. I’ll be seeing you again soon, for the Prince’s work is not yet done!”

By now any with weapons are unloading into the Slaaneshii whore. She’s reduced to less than ashes in the time it takes you to blink.

Dhar breaks the following silence. “Well now, I say you deserve a reward Ms. Soph. You’ve just helped us discover a daemonette of sorts in our ranks. Can you be spared from your master for a time?”

You don't really have to worry about that unless the votes/story go that way. Personally I wouldn't worry about it. Especially since you're kinda a daemon and could just poof away whenever.

Again, I'm not THAT evil.

>>36830427
>[2] Ah, but I am already apart of the =][= my good man, under Lady Cinder! You should reward her!
What....What just happened......?

>>36830427

It’s not often you’re left speechless. In fact this is only the second time in your entire existence when something didn’t go according to plan. The first being Cinder turning out the way she did. In any case, you force yourself to say SOMETHING.

“I… Um. Yes, your lordship. But…”

Luckily Lucius comes to your aid. He must have either lingered at the door or come running at the gunfire. “Are you alright, my little bird?” he asks. You nod and he turns to Dhar. “You aren’t taking her away permanently, are you?”

For an old human, Dhar has a rather comforting laugh. “Maybe. Maybe not. I personally just want to talk to her for a bit and maybe set up a meeting for the future. It’s been too long since I’ve been able to get out to one of these things and I have been longing to hear Largo al Factotum.”

The Rogue Trader nods. “I see… Well then my Lords, I’ll be on my way. Please don’t keep her long. She’s one of my favorites.” He gives you a look of genuine concern before letting himself get swept away as the doormen resume their work.

As for you and Dhar, he leads you to a side room just off of the main foyer before the amphitheater proper. Tyrus is right behind him. Once inside you see that it’s just a small office, probably that of some clerk working for the Lucid Palace and thus the Sector Governor Marius Hax. The older man takes a seat behind the wooden desk while his younger puritan counterpart stands behind him. Once you sit down yourself, the latter speaks.

“Damn fine work girl. You’re a shining example of all that is good with man. Hell, I wish I could be half as normal and incorruptible as you.”

(cont)

>>36830885

The irony is so thick that you end up just nodding in acceptance. Dhar shakes his head knowingly in the silence. “Now I’m sure you understand what this means. We’d like to bring you into the Inquisition. Even if what just happened was a fluke, I’ve learned that the Emperor works in mysterious ways.”

You finally find your tongue where you last left it. “I am truly flattered, your Lordships, but I must inform you that I am already a part of the Ordo Malleus under Lady Cinder.”

The two Inquisitors look at each other. “You heard of her, Dhar?”

“Not at all, Tyrus. But then again I don’t profess to know the name of every single member of my Ordo. Not even Caidin knows how many of us are there.”

“Mrm.” Tyrus turns to you. “Tell us about your mentor, acolyte. Do you have any proof of your claim?” His demeanor is far less aggressive than it was before but his tone makes it very clear that he’s going to check whatever you say or produce.

“In truth, I have nothing but my words. But I think you will find them more than enough. You see it begins with Lord Gaelos.” You look pointedly at Dhar. “Do you perchance know of him?”

Dhar strokes his grizzled face, causing the already weather-beaten skin to look more and more like leather. “Vaguely. I seem to recall him being involved with an artifact.”

You nod eagerly. “Yes, on Ysai Ydumee. It was an archway into the Immaterium itself.” Tyrus grumbles something inaudible but you press on. “Unfortunately, Gaelos had begun to delve into the foul arts in his attempts to close it. The sort of profane rituals that are best left unspoken. My Lady Cinder finally grew courageous enough to slay the heretic and end his fall into Chaos.”

The quiet that follows is only broken by Tyrus shuffling through the Tarot once more. He whispers the same sort of thing he did before when proving your “innocence,” this time using Gaelos’ name instead. As with the deceased Daemonette, the ex-Inquisitor comes up guilty. As such, Tyrus grunts and shrugs at Dhar. The latter of which smiles at you again.

“What happened after that, acolyte? Is she here on Scintilla as well?”

“No,” you reply, shaking your head. “She has left me in charge of Gaelos’ former vessel while she herself pursues a lead in the Expanse.”

Tyrus taps his ear and mumbles something, no doubt having his own cell checking to make sure the Raptor is in orbit.

“As for Lady Cinder herself and the artifact on Ysai, she and I were able to remove it from the planet. Though at great cost I’m afraid. Ten Grey Knights fell bravely in forcing back the daemons that were present.”

Of all that’s happened so far, that remark gets the most reaction out of the two men. “Well I’d say that settles it, Tyrus,” says Dhar. “No one knows about the Grey Knights and lives unless they’re of high import.”

“Or of Chaos,” replies Tyrus. “But I think we’ve established that she’s not a daemon.”

(cont)

>>36831712

A tiny part of your brain is both yelling and laughing at them. They can’t be serious.

“Indeed, but what shall we do? I feel like a reward IS in order here.”

Dhar thinks for a moment. “Let us take her to Caidin. Perhaps he shall have a better response to this than I. Frankly if I was him, I’d give this acolyte the recognition she deserves and promote her to full Inquisitorship. As for her mentor, I’m sure she’ll be given some reward for furnishing such talent.”

Being a good a time as any, you produce the bottle of liquor from you pack and set it before you on the desk. “Seeing the Lord Inquisitor would allow me to deliver this bottle personally. Lady Cinder thought it would be a good gift.”

Tyrus eyes the label and raises an eyebrow. “A 763.M39? Did you buy it from the Rogue Trader you were following around earlier?”

“Yes,” you nod. “Part of the payment was to dress like this and attend him for the evening.”

The elder Inquisitor chuckles and stands up. “Well Ms. Soph you’ve certainly made this night extremely interesting. But we’ve kept you for too long, as I can hear the performance starting already. We’ll reconvene after it’s over. I dare not pull Caidin out early.”

You match his movement and smile. “That sounds like a plan, your Lordship. Shall I come here after or…?”

“It’s as good as any other meeting spot I suppose. Come along now…”

The three of you exit the office, both Inquisitors leading you back to the entrance and leaving you there before going off to their own seats. Before you go into the amphitheater yourself, you catch sight of one of the psykers from earlier rocking in a corner.

“I touched the mind a daemon and didn’t even know it,” he mumbles, repeating himself over and over. “I touched the mind of someone normal and thought they were wrong.”

>>36832025

A pawn is a pawn, no matter its origin. And every pawn has the chance of becoming something greater. To that end you walk over to the mystic and speak to him. “Are you alright?”

He looks up at you then shudders. “It’s the normal one. The real one. Wrong. All so wrong.”

Instead of talking down at him you kneel down to be at his eye level. “I was once as broken as you are now,” you begin. “Lost, afraid, not sure what was right and wrong. But then I made a change for the better. I can’t promise you that I can fix everything but I’d like to help. After all, I have a feeling I’ll be building my own cell of acolytes come tomorrow.”

For effect you hold out a hand. He stares at it for a time then extends his own shaking one. “I… I’d like that. Change. Change is good.”

“That it is,” you reply, dragging him up onto his feet as you stand. “Now go home and rest. When you are ready contact Captain Rosmalen of the Faithful Inferno. He’ll get you in contact with me. Of course, if you try to run…”

You leave the empty threat hanging in the air. It has the intended effect. “N-No! I’ll… I’ll just go and pack. Yeah, pack…”

He quickly makes for the door and heads out into the night. That just leaves you alone for the moment. It’s the first chance you’ve had to relax and you’re definitely taking it. You take up the spot the psyker was formerly occupying and close your eyes for a moment. Sure, on some level it’s exciting to have a plan broken because it invites change from the expected. But even then it’s draining to wing it without someone like Cinder around to do the heavy lifting.

Hah. She’d get a kick out of this, wouldn’t she? Especially about the part where you might finally have gotten your own rosette. You wonder how that will go over if it comes to pass. Probably a headpat knowing her.

When the next song starts you rise and attempt to find out where Lucius is seated. For all you know he could be fretting about the fact you got pulled aside and that it might lead back to him. Or he could be hitting on someone. Probably the latter right?

You eventually find him sharing a booth with a Lady Inquisitor. She doesn’t seem all that interested in his attempts thus far, but she’s also not threatening him with a bolter. If anything, it’s like she’s enjoying playing hard to get. Best you can tell anyways. You’ve yet to actually enter the booth proper so for the time being you’re left standing among the rest of the Rogue Trader’s staff.

Not sure if devious or not

>>36832669
Now that I think about it, [2] is kinda like rape. She seems to be having a good time right now anyway.

Time for shenanigans?

>>36832659

Deciding to maintain at least a part of your earlier lie to Dhar and Tyrus, you chat up the underlings to find out what the two in the booth are expecting to be brought next. It turns out that Lucius has ordered a “special” bottle be brought down from the Inferno. You don’t really feel like probing the matter any further than that so you just do the maidly thing and take them the bottle when it arrives.

As you set it down, Lucius turns to look at you. He gets half of a “Thank you” out before realizing that it’s you. His eyes widen just a bit as he looks to the side at the Lady Inquisitor. After seeing she’s fixated on the stage down below, he mouths “I’m glad you’re okay.”

Then he takes up the bottle and begins pouring his counterpart and himself a glass. You might be imagining it but the Inquisitor seems to be resisting the urge to giggle. It’s no secret what will happen in the coming hours between them. Even Cinder would be able to tell.

To that end you duck out and find a spot to watch the Opera from. You’ve got a couple of hours to kill after all. You might as well enjoy it like a “normal” person. Er, daemon.

Sleepy time, or thereabouts.

Feel free to ask Iggy w/e, or Sytili since 4chan kinda died right at the end of last thread.

Tonight's thread (as in the one later today) may be delayed or pushed to Friday just because of how late this one ran.

>>36832810
Why can't Sytili crawl?

>>36832810
Goodnight, ELH! Thanks for the thread. Also, is your pet better?

>>36832810
thanks for the thread ELH, cya in the next one

>>36832815

Zoanthropes have underdeveloped lower bodies. They get around by propelling themselves via psychic stuff. So worst case it'd probably mean she'd just kind wriggle on the ground and not get anywhere.

>>36832823
Yeah. Thanks for asking.

>>36832836
Is there anything Warp Shenanigans can't do?

>>36832847

Get Macha laid.

The irony of that statement is not lost on me.

Hey Iggy, how does it feel to borrow Cinders gifts of improbability? Because you know that's totally us.

>>36832847
Maid Cinder?

>>36832810
How long until Acerea becomes an Inquisitor?
Could we make Sytili an Inquisitor?

Will we end up with the entire Inquisition in the Calexis sector being Chaos?

Also, we still need to recruit Iggys Dark Mechanicus friend...

>>36832860

M-Maybe if we ask Decu...?

>>36832856
>>36827210
Speaking of which, how cool are Slaaneshi Metal Gears on a scale of 1-10?

>>36832861

>How long until Acerea becomes an Inquisitor?
More like Farseer or something. Something Eldar themed.

>Could we make Sytili an Inquisitor?
Heresy. Though she'd probably be really good in the Ordo Hereticus.

>Will we end up with the entire Inquisition in the Calixis sector being Chaos?
That's one way to capture a sector.

>Also, we still need to recruit Iggys Dark Mechanicus friend...
Go there next time you have ship control

>>36832866
Meh

>>36832858
Don't lie.

>>36832863
I think her rage would just burn off anything that got put on....Maybe if Iggy asked....

I just want to say thanks for including slaaneshis a bit, it felt off excluding them completely. Of course they aren't for allying, them dying like a bitch immediately is far more appropriate.

I've been thinking about how to make an interesting, non-smutty slaaneshy, and I think you have to focus their hedonism somewhere else, like self improvement, entertainmet, ect.

Like some artsy dark mechanicus tech-priest that makes "art" by creating technology, often dangerous, non-functional, or without any function what so ever. Might dislike other "boring" slaanesh worshipers that don't break the mold and it deems "uncultured" or something. Ma wear blueprints of creations it's particularly proud of on its robes.

Or maybe go the other way and make a slaaneshy that Cinder would hate more than the others. Like a sniper that boasts at being such a good shot, "it's practically an art" but never shows it off, preferring to go after weak and easy targets to torment or kill-stealing from others.

I could develop on either of those.

>>36832861
I think Acerea would make a great hospitaller.

>>36832872
Oh yeah, what are your thoughts on corrupting Sisters of Battle to Chaos again? Anons have expressed interest in getting/making an Order Militant, Hospitaller, and Famulous for Cinder, Acerea, and Ignitrix respectively.

>>36832879
No no no I'm saying for the drawfag element since he was here earlier. But you're not wrong.

>>36832884
Thought: Was it a better death than Small-Horn?

>>36832887
Eh, I'd rather pass on it. Even if chaos is far more reasonable here than in canon, a tolerable slaaneshi would require more moderation than would make sense for them. Annoying NPC at best.

>>36832895
I more or less gave you tyranids to do just that. Pretend they have white hair and have fleurs. It's totally the same thing I swear.

>>36832884
That's pretty much how they will remain if at all. Insta death or not mentioned.

>>36832896
Nah. Small horn wad more satisfying because of the lead up.

>>36832887
Something like this, I think. http://youtu.be/pmaxEpjsOrE

>>36832910
>I more or less gave you tyranids to do just that. Pretend they have white hair and have fleurs. It's totally the same thing I swear.
Meh.

>>36832910
>I more or less gave you tyranids to do just that. Pretend they have white hair and have fleurs. It's totally the same thing I swear.
Nah, SoBs would be an altogether different flavor, one that has a place alongside our chaos nids

>>36832910
I don't think a drawn out conflict with one would be so bad. Hell even joke recurring minibosses to kick around could be fun. As long as they remain antagonistic and not associated with lewdness it would avoid the problems we have with them.

>>36832904
Well, the second one would have been an insufferable minor antagonist, and killing him/it would have felt very good.

The first would have no interest in smut though. ("I gave up those parts CENTURIES ago! That sort of thing no longer brings me pleasure! Try out my cryo-sprayer instead.")

>>36832937
Like a Gilgamesh? Though currently, No-Horn takes up that role. Does he?

>>36832948

I'm pretty sure the mystery box on the encounter chart we saw a few threads back was him.

>>36832956
Nah, that was Cultist-chan.

>>36832910
>I more or less gave you tyranids to do just that. Pretend they have white hair and have fleurs. It's totally the same thing I swear.
Battle Sisters could help us burn the galaxy. Not to mention, their faith!

We have a bunch of things to ask of drawfags now:

> Maid Cinder
> A Gaunt or Warrior cosplaying as a Sister of Battle
> More Maid Iggy

>>36832910
>That's pretty much how they will remain if at all. Insta death or not mentioned.
Keeper of Secrets boss fight: possible?

>>36832979
>Tyramaids

>>36832994

I think you might be on to something.

>>36832989
Or Cinder can just rip out its heart in the middle of some longwinded monologue. Either works

>>36833004
>Little did Cinder know that that wasn't its heart she removed, the Secret Keeper kept that hidden. What she grabbed instead was his plasma pistol, which fired in her hand as soon as she grabbed hold of it. "Goddamnit, plasma's all over my hand now!" she yells in frustration.

I know it's not an option for now, but will Iggy get her own set of tyranids later? There has to be some shenanigans to be had there.

>>36833020

This is why we can't have nice things. Or Slaaneshiis.

>>36833025

Didn't the QM say as much a few threads back? I recall something about the need for more synapses before that can happen.

>>36833025
>Iggy tries to teach them strategy and thinking ahead.
>Tests them all to see if they can bend spoons and read cards they can't see.

>>36832948
I was thinking some totally mental team rocket thing.

>>36833025
I'd rather Iggy get some shy cheerleader SoB types who are always trying to outplan and scheme around Cinder's SoB cheerleaders

>>36833041
Three Malalettes. Y/N?

>>36833034
Ah missed that, thanks.

>>36833025

warp infused spore mines which have a high chance of turning those hit into Spawns?

>>36833048
Oh god yes

>>36833047
Yeah, I hope we can get around to procuring some inquisitorial battle sisters when we're reunited.

>>36833048
Seconded

>>36833047
>>36833058
Oh yes please.

>>36833055
A former tzeenchite, a former khornate and a former nugling.

>>36833036

>>36833048
Yes please.

>>36833067
>They're all just in their goth phase and paint themselves black.

I don't know much about malal, can we have them as twisted opposites of our protagonists?

>>36832910
>>36833058 makes a point about how we're in the Inquisition, and can request Battle Sisters for our retinue.

>>36833093
Like the Rowdyruff Boys?
