[Video] VII

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She's more or less built herself a tiny battle layout on her floor, peering down at it. The incoming soldiers are random pieces of material.]

Forgive me this authority, but I've a plan, should you wish to follow it. [she clears her throat.] I'm schooled in war, even if I cannot fight. 

I told this to my lord Yukio, and I think it's our best chance. In this case straight out battle is useless to us, we don't have the numbers to break them. What we do have is our reputation to think of. And what they want. Which is simple, they're only human, men who want to go home to their families, to their women and children, to warm beds, and they already think we're monsters, else they would think this --  [a rather short gesture out the window, and there's a sneer in her words] -- was necessary. 

So use it against them, make them believe we really are inhuman. The fog's with us. Already they are out of their element they cannot see us properly, as well it muffles our movements. And scared because of how unsettling this place, but we know the lay of the land and can trap them. Those of you with above human abilities, go in first, do not put yourself directly in their line of fire by any means, you're useless if you get killed. But do things to divide them, separate them and make sure it's huge, flashy. At the very best they will run, because they do not want to be here. They will run all the way back to their city. 

If not, if they really mean to stay here and kill, at the very least they will become skittish. Enough of it should in time give them want to divide, which case those of you who are not so showy... I'd suggest you pick them off one by one. I know it's not honourable, but we really don't have time for those sort of things. 

... [she's just cold.] Lastly, show mercy if you wish too, at the very least we can use hostages to negotiate a peace. So perhaps takes prisoners if you can without personal risk.  But remember this, they don't want to show you mercy at all, they want to drive us from this place. Damned it might be, but this is our city, it is our home, and if any of you die, for any stupid heroics when you could be doing something far more useful, I will never forgive you, do you understand? 

I think that is everything I can think of. Any further questions, see my lord Yukio or myself. 

[SENT LATER]

I'll be on the roof, with my lord Yukio. Please relay to me any position or if you need any assistance, I'll be keeping a eye on all. [because you're her people.]

[humm...they were at war, then? but he does like this woman's idea of scare tactics. they were a personal favourite of his, after all.

so here's Dainn's voice popping up, sounding calm as usual.]

Scare tactics, hum? I think I may be able to help with those, if you like...

[because while he was content to watch humans battle it out, it would be more fun to join in for a bit.]

[video]

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She's just straight forward and to the point.]

What kind, something better suited to shadows, or something that can be out in the open? We'll need both.

[video]

[shadow_possession]

I like the shadows, but I can be out in the open...[if temporally.] As for what it is, it's myself. I'm quite good at pretending to be inhuman if the need arises.

[nevermind it's because being inhuman is where he got the practice from.]

[shunshinoshishi]

[ Well alright, he sure didn't want to die yet, you know, and go back only to die again. That'd suck. So here, have a Shisui listening intently to this speech. He totally likes the way you think, lady >.>

At the end of it, he reaches up to take off the makeshift bandage around his eye, letting it slide down the side of his face into his lap. ]

Scare them? I think I could manage that.

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She doesn't flinch at his eye, just takes note of it with a grim expression.]

Do you use fire like my lord Itachi does?

[the only thing he'd told her about his abilities.]

voice;

[outsidehistory]

[Forgive him if his voice is a bit difficult to hear, he's out in the field so he's speaking low.]

Kanda and I have an idea, we are going to execute it in a few moments.

voice;

[1mistress_nomaster]

[Which she strains to hear.]

What exactly so I can tell the others to stay clear of it?

video

[doctor_dragoon]

I'll be on the rooftop. Anyone looking for firearms can find me there, but I'd prefer not to hand them out to those without experience.

[The last thing they need is someone shooting themselves in the foot.]

video

[1mistress_nomaster]

I'll be joining you soon I think. I can't fight, but I can give people information on movements. If you have a... spy glass or whatever they are called now.

[bluedemonflames]

If you're lookin' to scare people I can help with that.

[1mistress_nomaster]

You're good at being loud, aren't you? [she smirks, she's already moving up to the roof out of her room.] Use it. Every skill you have. They hate you for your strange features. Why not give them a reason for it?

[video/text]

[rightsiderequiem]

[this was probably the first time Dextera wished the Meta-Beings were around. they'd scared everybody off pretty fast.]

You mean things normal people aren't supposed to have, right? [he has something but he's not sure what it would do to a normal person or if it could be called scary.]

[video/text]

[1mistress_nomaster]

Yes. Anything that you have. It will probably scare them because they are scared already.

[She's walking to the roof top, half way there.] What abilities does it include? Or do you have in general?

[beanstalk]

[Okay, color him completely surprised. He didn't really expect to see something like this. Then again, he hasn't expected much of many others here, so it comes as a good surprise.]

Scaring's easy enough.

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She just smirks. You don't keep a title like Queen in a time like hers if you don't know how to be completely merciless. Apparently all that's needed is a little organisation.]

Good. Lavi told me you're both going to do something soon. Make sure it's nothing they've ever seen before, is my only advice, I know you're both skilled otherwise. Make them rue the day they even dared to come into this place.

[alma_karma]

[Alma looks a bit hesitant. This talk of fighting and killing has him very nervous, but...]

... Can I help?

video

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She's just quietly hurt a little child has to see any of this, even if he does come from a violent place.

But telling him no would be even worse, because it's his home too and he has much right as any other adult to want to help.]

I will need help on the roof, little one, I cannot see everywhere after all, if you feel like doing that. What else can you do?

[She could also keep an eye on him, she had a feeling Kanda wouldn't forgive her if anything happened to him.</small.]

video;

[comradely]

[ Here, have a new little Uchiha listening intently. ]

So all we gotta do is scare them?

video;

[1mistress_nomaster]

[She gives a curious look, and it's just for a second, she doesn't really have the time beyond thinking 'oh dear, another one'.]

My lord Uchiha, of another sort I presume? I'm Elizabeth Tudor. Sorry there is not a better welcome for you.

...

Yes. Scare, divide and conquer is our best bet. Simple enough to follow, yes?

[hebi]

Easily done.

[Who's up for a fire and lightning show? :D]

[1mistress_nomaster]

Your kin are making arrangements are the moment I believe. I'll be keeping an eye from the roof, should you need information outside of your own abilities. The tactic is the same however, scatter and pick them off. Don't put yourself into undue harm.

[this has to be the first time she's seen him smile.]

Reporting in from Raven.

[azrthmtrnznthos]

I'm moving around, from area to area...mostly I've been knocking them out where I can, while not letting them see me.

They're absolutely afraid, but resolute---I can sense it.

[There's a sigh.]

If you say you want us to scare them though...I can do that. Just...don't hate me for anything you see from me, Elizabeth--and if you ever see me with four-glowing-red eyes, then run. Get away from me.

[1mistress_nomaster]

Then we shall do our best to make them less resolute.

[Which give her a second, she's just changing her dress to something that she can move around in more easily and is straight black, and she's turned away from Raven's feed a little, pulling it on as quickly as possible.]

Lady Raven, with respect, I do not want to hear it. I have ordered this plan, for better or for worse. [she did up the buttons of her dress, then pulled all her long hair up, twisting it around and pinning it in place.] I'll warn the others if you wish them to stay clear of you. Otherwise, I have given my orders, and I expect them to be met in full, is that clear?

[her tone was calm, flat and resolute.] You will not let me down in this Raven, I know you won't.

[Video]

[chrysalis_ex]

Are you still on the roof? [ A little late, but she is replying. ]

[Video]

[1mistress_nomaster]

Yes. [she gives a fond sort of look from her otherwise serious expression.

But then it's back to business.] Do have an idea of where to place yourself?
