Throwing a smrik at the petite tactician,
(Ha, he likes my plan!)
Gangrel nodded along at Kellam's idea. "Well, it certainly doesn't have the destructive flair my plan has, but it has its merits." Like the utter annihilation of those trying to usurp him. Yeah, that'dbe great. And there were plenty of places to hide the bodies in the sands of Plegia.
Many of the other dignataries made murmurs of agreement. It was a perfect plan, except...
"There's a problem though," Elysia said with a frown, "several, actually. While I don't doubt we have those capable of great feats of mimicry, there might be things hard to emulate. If we instead placed a mole within the organization, and have them work their way up, it eliminates that problem but opens so many more. We'd need someone who's powerful and intriguing enough for Grimleal, but not too affiliated with any organization, and someone who's all right with not telling their comrades of their latest mission so they won't be comprimised. It's a tall order for anyone, and I'm not quite sure who we have who can go..."
"There's Aversa --" Gangrel paused at the vicious look Elysia sent him. She was already making protests, but Gangrel spoke over her. "But I doubt she'd go for it. Plus, she sort of blasted the last group who tried to get her to return." Here, the Mad King chuckled, "my soldiers are still cleaning up bits of cultists from the town's walkways."
(Oh yeah, that was a fun report to hear, down to the shaking and quesy looking courier.)
"I quite doubt they'll try again anytime soon~ You, on the other hand, could always join up. I'm sure if any of the old crowd's still there, they'd let you into the planning as soon as you step through the door!"
(Shit, why did I say that!?)
(Why would you say that, you acrophobic idiot!?)
They were saved from an awkward backtrack by Raimi. "Ms Elysia's a bit too well known in Regna Ferox, even though she's constantly traveling. The same, I assume, would be true in Ylisse. It would look too odd for such a well known figure to suddenly turn up with undesireables. I doubt they'd let someone who has so many ins with various rulers."
(Yeah, let's go with that explanation.
Much better than mentioning how my sperm donor was the head honcho
And I was kind of supposed to be the vessel of the damn dragon.)
That still gave them the problem of who to send on such a mission though.
"Elysia," Say'ri spoke up for the first time, "mayhaps Morgan, or even one of the other childes may provide the 'mole' as you say?"
No, that sounded like a ridiculously horrid idea, but she couldn't say anything without revealing her and her son's connection to Grima.
{{tag Maverick, screw you and your outdated speech patterns say'ri. not giving her a color because she's still pretty much an NPC and I just needed someone who wasn't Gangrel to say that.
Elysia would have throttled him if he suggested her son go out and join the Grimleal lol.}}
