(Actually, this time it was an Arc bolt. Y'know, a massive electric blast.)
*Karen*
Karen frowned. "I think he was saying "abilities". Is that all he said?"

*Kagetsuki*
As the gnome spoke, completely disregarding her question, Kagetsuki's temper flared and she found herself moving forward to swat his hand away from the picture. She glanced at it--he'd chosen out Syra, a queen who'd ruled three generations before her mother--and growled, "No. Not that it would matter, seeing as she's dead. I ask you again: Who sent you?"
*Youkara*
"Mm, just one thing, darling." Turning to see Kasha step into the room, she extended a hand. The servant stopped at the entrance, apparently somewhat surprised to see Kali, but quickly moved forward to offer her queen a glass of dark liquid. Youkara took the glass and sipped, nodding to the Man-Demon. "Done. Kasha, dear? You're in charge until Letum returns. Tell him I'll be back soon, hm?" She took Kali's hand and rose. "Let's depart..."

*R1*
(Oh, whoops, my bad. I thought you were switching the arc bolt from the last attack for a missile, not the other way around.)
The man brought his hand up this time instead of his sword, and a barrier leapt around his being for only a moment, absorbing the attack without requiring his movement. "You fear to close the distance, and so you accomplish nothing but the wasting of ammunition."
*Karen*
"Pretty much," the boy answered as he moved to dig around in his pockets, but whatever he was searching for wasn't there, as his hand came back out empty. "And he offered to help you learn, but I never cared much for schooling, myself. I don't suppose you got any sweets around here? Candy? Ice cream?"
*Kagetsuki*
The gnome scowled at her for slapping his hand, but when she repeated her question about who sent him, he started to answer, then paused as he looked her over and grinned. "That depends. Are you single?"
*Youkara*
Kali smiled and nodded. "As you wish, my queen." With a wave of his hand, they disappeared from the chamber.
(Youkara is now at the meeting. That leaves Ramiel, Enigma, R1, Karen and Kagetsuki still to go.)
*Ramiel*
As the door opened, four armed humanoid robots (not androids, just robots with two legs and two arms, think HK-50s) stepped into the hall. "Master seeks your master," they stated simultaneously. "Show your master."

Kagetsuki did not even deem to answer him this time. Her eyes narrowed, and a sort of tension arose in the room which said she was angry...very angry. When she spoke, her voice was tight and soft, not the most comforting sound. "I will ask you once more. Who sent you?"

*Kagetsuki*
The gnome scowled, as if disappointed, and turned away. "Well, you aren't any fun." He turned back and stood straight, the first respectful sign he'd given since waltzing in, but it was more likely in respect to the one who sent him than to her. "The Mighty Man-Demon Kali expects you to attend a gathering at his location, to begin promptly."

Kagetsuki's first thought was one of slight disgust--a half demon?--but when she heard the name she started and stared. Kali? He couldn't be speaking of that one, could he? But she'd never really heard of another by that name... "...Are you referring to...His son...?"

*Kagetsuki*
The gnome looked at her like she had just asked a stupid question, then smirked, the respectful posture dropped. "Kid, you're beautiful, but you're a little slow. Am I referring to Lucifer's brat? Yes, of course, I am. Whose kid do you think I was talking about? Hitler's?"

She snarled, temper flaring again, energy flaring up around her before winking out as she caught herself. "Well forgive me for never having been summoned by the son of the strongest demon in the worlds. It's a bit awkward--what in the hells does he want me for?!" Normally the queen would have slaughtered anyone who called her slow, but if this gnome was associated with Lucifer she didn't exactly want to incite any punishments for killing a messenger who might be high-ranked...

"Well, I'm sure it's got nothing to do with your pretty face," the gnome answered, "and I doubt he's interested in your bubble-filled head. There's only one thing those two characteristics work well together for, and he's not into that."

With that comment, the queen lost her temper--the cold floor beneath the gnome's feet suddenly spiked up, the marble turning to jagged, razor-sharp metal. "You overstep your place even for a messenger!" She shouted, fists clenching. "I will not be spoken to in such a way!"

The gnome didn't seem bothered by the spikes. They didn't penetrate his hide, and he was simply pushed up into a sitting position on top of them. "Hey, kid, I just call them as I see them. You asked me why he wanted you there. If you don't want my thoughts on the matter, don't ask."

The spikes vanish back into the floor, dropping the gnome as Kagetsuki hisses in frustration, turning away. She could do this...There was no reason to become aggressive because of an annoyance. Taking a deep breath, the queen waited until she was calm to speak again. "Am I to assume you really don't know why he wants me there, or is there a real reason other than your despicable blabbering?"

The gnome shrugged. "Well, you do look mighty nice when you're bursting at the seams, but no, I've got no clue why he wants you there."

She ignored his comment. This messenger was obviously rude by nature, and she couldn't change that...But what of this request? Lucifer's son had summoned her...Could she refuse something like that? Hum...She'd have to appoint someone to watch the palace. Cineris would do; he was likely the most capable of handling a kingdom out of her Entourage. "Your master's offer," Kagetsuki said slowly, already contacting Cineris, "Is, unfortunately, one I don't think would be smart to refuse..."

The gnome hopped up. "Alrighty, then! Come on, kid," he said, tapping a device on his belt and opening a gate. "Let's get going! Say, uh, if you change your mind, we could probably squeeze in a little time before the meeting ..."
