A Grim Confrontation with Sanctuary

[Filora]

18:01:03 Leyujin lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
18:01:07 [Ulrezaj]: Ey, de Commandeh intends fo' us to meet on de third level.
18:01:07 [Leyujin]: We should git goin'.
18:01:11 You look at Lilliana.
18:01:17 Leyujin looks to the side as Julilee arrives.
18:01:24 [Leyujin]: Commandah Julilee, greetings.
18:01:25 Jinsai dances with Nettles.
18:01:30 You nod at Leyujin.
18:01:31 Nettles bows before Jinsai.
18:01:35 [Cerryan]: Oh, well, I guess this is just happening right here then.
18:01:43 Lilliana has Leyu'jin to stare at, so she doesn't have to look at the Sanctuary folk arriving.
18:01:53 [Leyujin]: No. We go ta meet Da Commandah.
18:02:00 [Ulrezaj]: De ground be too cold. Meh feet dinna wanna dangle from dis saddle's featheh's for too long.
18:02:01 Julilee eyes Lilliana briefly, then mounts up.
18:02:16 [Cerryan]: Well, if comfort is the primary concern then, let's go.
18:05:07 Leyujin keeps his mouth shut, but seems like he agrees with Jinsai.
18:05:52 [Durkatar]: I must admit, I expected him on the throne.
18:05:57 You look at Durkatar.
18:06:00 [Cerryan]: Not now, Jinsai.
18:06:39 [Leyujin]: All accounted an' reported fo', Commandah.
18:06:44 Lupinum resists the urge to bug Lilliana.
18:06:55 Ulrezaj pounds his chest with a clenched fist.
18:06:55 You look around.
18:06:56 Lilliana gives Lupinum a fake smile, but it's still a smile.
18:06:59 Awatu nods, then turns his attention to the new arrivals.
18:07:08 Cerryan clenches his jaw
18:07:19 Julilee looks at Awatu levelly.
18:07:21 Lilliana narrows her eyes, and sets her gaze on Cerryan for a moment.
18:07:25 Awatu nods towards Julilee. "Commander."
18:07:35 Julilee nods back. "Commander."
18:08:06 [Awatu]: More has occurred in the time between our contacting each other and this meeting.
18:08:18 Cerryan closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, remaining silent
18:08:19 Ulrezaj raises a keen brow.
18:08:21 [Durkatar]: An understatement.
18:08:26 Cylindryl kneels down.
18:08:42 [Julilee]: Your silence has been troubling.
18:09:09 [Awatu]: As has yours. I have found myself abroad far more often than I would care for.
18:09:23 [Awatu]: Nonetheless, we are here now.
18:09:28 [Julilee]: Yes, we are.
18:09:41 Julilee glances down where her people and his have arrayed themselves in lines.
18:09:44 [Awatu]: First, and most importantly, is the matter of the Huntress.
18:09:54 Julilee looks back at Awatu.
18:09:56 Lupinum narrows his eyes as he tips a flask.
18:10:06 [Awatu]: Where does she stand in your graces?
18:10:39 [Julilee]: She does not stand in our graces. We are focusing efforts on finding her and bringing her to justice.
18:11:03 Lilliana eyes you up and down.
18:11:11 Awatu nods. "Of course, I suspected as much."
18:11:14 Kexti leans against his staff.
18:11:17 Ulrezaj 's jaw drops.
18:11:29 [Awatu]: What do you plan on doing with her?
18:11:30 Julilee studies him closely, trying to tell if he believes her or not.
18:11:38 [Durkatar]: She will go on trial.
18:12:04 Lilliana still has her hands in her pockets. She raises a brow at Durkatar's answer.
18:12:05 [Julilee]: We have evidence of her guilt. The trial is a formality required of those who are civilized.
18:12:22 Lupinum clicks his jaw loudly.
18:12:25 Lilliana mutters something after Julilee's civilized comment.
18:12:34 Leyujin as is his habit, props his blade into the ground and leans against the handle, observing the proceedings mildly.
18:12:37 Awatu grins at the jab. "Yes, civilized."
18:12:38 Julilee may have added that comment just for Lilliana.
18:12:47 [Durkatar]: Is there a problem? Perhaps you would like for us to torture her instead.
18:12:49 Julilee eyes Awatu.
18:12:54 [Julilee]: Durk'atar.
18:13:05 Cerryan smirks slyly at Durkatar.
18:13:10 Lilliana stands there and makes a face, just for Durkatar.
18:13:12 [Julilee]: Let's not be the first to fling accusations.
18:13:20 [Kexti]: We could certainly attack her from hiding and flee when the battle doesn't turn out as expected.
18:13:32 Kexti searches the assembly.
18:13:36 Julilee 's gaze flattens.
18:13:41 [Awatu]: I believe you have already garnered that claim, Commander.
18:13:50 You look at Awatu.
18:14:07 Leyujin looks at Kexti moodily.
18:14:16 [Awatu]: We are not here to shout at you. Words will only go so far.
18:14:46 [Awatu]: If you wish to hold her on trial, then that is your business. Just pray to whatever you believe in, or do not, that we do not find her first.
18:15:04 Leyujin looks like he'd like to shout a bit, after Kexti's outburst.
18:15:05 [Cerryan]: And if that should happen?
18:15:16 Daxxum holds back the grin creeping on his face.
18:15:17 [Durkatar]: She dies, of course.
18:15:21 [Julilee]: She dies.
18:15:27 Kexti smirks slyly at Leyujin.
18:15:28 Lupinum grins wickedly at Durkatar.
18:15:32 [Cerryan]: I suppose that would be a given.
18:15:33 [Awatu]: She is not under your good graces, so it does not matter what would happen. But yes, that is correct.
18:15:38 Cerryan snorts derisively
18:15:44 Leyujin aims an intensely sour glare at the blood elf.
18:15:46 Lilliana has her gaze drift from Leyu'jin to Kexti, and so she stares at the elf, her expression daring to egg him on.
18:16:06 [Durkatar]: She is still our comrade and friend, so it very much does matter.
18:16:17 [Julilee]: It matters to us. Not to them.
18:16:19 Awatu glances behind him for a moment, then back to the group.
18:16:28 Kexti lowers his voice: "my conflict is not with you, friend," directing the comment to Leyujin's expression.
18:16:40 [Cerryan]: It simply reinforces our need to locate her first.
18:16:44 Lilliana glares over the comrade a friend comment, and makes it obvious she's displeased by it with a snort.
18:16:56 [Julilee]: We have nothing more to discuss regarding Saphiara at this moment.
18:17:05 Awatu nods. "Correct."
18:17:21 Kexti leans against his staff, and rests his hand on the wrapped object at his side.
18:17:28 You look at Awatu.
18:17:29 Leyujin snorts in tandem with Lilliana, then reluctantly nods at the blood elf monk.
18:17:41 [Julilee]: Where is Syreena?
18:17:52 [Awatu]: Indisposed, at the moment.
18:18:09 [Julilee]: Where does she stand in your graces?
18:18:14 Kexti clears his throat.
18:18:24 Ulrezaj narrows his eyes suspiciously.
18:18:25 Kexti looks askance at Julilee.
18:18:27 Lilliana stands up on her toes, and throws Julilee a deadly expression.
18:18:35 [Awatu]: Very poorly, at the moment.
18:18:36 Julilee 's gaze doesn't move from Awatu.
18:19:11 [Julilee]: Would she happen to know anything about a five hundred gold bounty for "Sanctuary ears"?
18:19:34 Lupinum stifles a small chuckle.
18:19:46 Lilliana doesn't chuckle.
18:19:49 [Awatu]: I do not know. Perhaps she does, perhaps not.
18:19:53 Jinsai perks up.
18:20:01 Kexti glares at Lupinum.
18:20:02 [Jinsai]: Troll earsh grow back, how often can shhe pay?
18:20:09 [Julilee]: What do you intend to do about her?
18:20:11 Kexti nods at Jinsai.
18:20:13 Julilee ignores Jinsai.
18:20:21 Lilliana almost chuckles at what Jinsai said....almost.
18:20:37 Leyujin snorts with a strangled laugh at Jinsai's comment.
18:20:54 [Awatu]: Specifically, I do not know at this moment. But it will be... uncivilized, as you may call it.
18:21:01 Julilee blinks once.
18:21:26 Lilliana purses her lips.
18:21:29 [Julilee]: ...So long as justice is served.
18:21:32 Julilee looks at Kex'ti.
18:21:42 Awatu nods. "Justice. Of course."
18:21:56 Kexti frowns.
18:21:57 Ulrezaj chuckles lightly at the sentiment.
18:22:15 Kexti regards Julilee, struggling not to speak.
18:22:32 Julilee studies him for a moment longer. "Do you have something to say, Kex'ti?"
18:22:39 Awatu keeps his eyes on Julilee.
18:23:03 [Kexti]: I have my doubts as to whether or not this shameful example to the Forsaken will actually be punished.
18:23:13 Lupinum growls menacingly at Kexti.
18:23:36 [Kexti]: I wish merely to confirm that the punishment will indeed be coming, and her...proclivities will not be indulged as they have seemingly been these past few months.
18:23:48 You look at Awatu.
18:23:57 Kexti massages his leg, and leans against his staff for support.
18:24:07 Lilliana takes her hands out of her pockets....and she looks stiff as she stares at the Sanctuary speaking beyond Awatu.
18:25:17 Awatu gives a sincere nod. "You have my word that I will carry out a sentence that is just and in accordance with the accused actions."
18:25:29 Lilliana looks at Awatu.
18:25:32 Julilee pauses, not expecting the word "just."
18:25:59 Kexti says nothing, and sips from his jug.
18:26:05 Leyujin looks on approvingly at the exchange.
18:26:39 [Julilee]: And you have my word that Saphiara will be face a sentence that is appropriate and just, as well.
18:26:55 Cerryan nods at you.
18:27:09 [Julilee]: Now...
18:27:19 Awatu tilts his head to the side.
18:27:48 [Julilee]: Last night.
18:27:53 Lilliana glances at Leyujin while Julilee speaks.
18:28:35 [Julilee]: Your people chose to attack fellow Horde in order to attack undefended Alliance.
18:29:05 [Awatu]: "In order to"... Explain.
18:29:18 Jinsai sniffs the air, his booze-sense tingling.
18:29:31 [Julilee]: We did not raise our weapons against them. We only stood in their way. They initiated hostilities.
18:29:46 [Awatu]: So, you defended the Alliance?
18:29:56 [Julilee]: We defended noncombatants.
18:30:09 [Durkatar]: Or are you in the business of murdering children?
18:30:14 Awatu snorts.
18:30:14 Lilliana growls in the back of her throat.
18:30:16 [Cerryan]: Oh no, they are.
18:30:21 Kexti scowls at Lilliana.
18:30:24 [Cerryan]: But not yesternight.
18:30:24 Julilee half-raises a hand.
18:30:39 Cerryan stifles.
18:30:47 Lupinum bites back a comment.
18:30:57 Jinsai does his best to hide behind the tree.
18:31:04 Leyujin looks at Lupinum's restraint, and nods.
18:31:20 Lilliana looks at Kexti, the growl still faintly there.
18:31:47 [Awatu]: Noncombatants, you say? I know not the word.
18:32:02 [Julilee]: Do you have children, Commander Stonespire?
18:32:02 Kexti looks aghast at Awatu's proclamation.
18:32:08 Awatu shakes his head.
18:32:15 [Julilee]: Nieces? Nephews?
18:32:19 Lilliana nods her head over what Awatu just said.
18:32:21 Awatu shakes his head.
18:32:27 [Julilee]: ...were you ever a child?
18:32:31 Lupinum also nods at the Commander's remark.
18:32:39 Cerryan bites back a comment
18:32:42 Leyujin looks dispassionately at Julilee.
18:32:46 [Awatu]: Once before.
18:33:09 Grooda digs her nails into her arm, clearly fighting back a burst of anger.
18:33:16 You look at Awatu.
18:33:31 [Julilee]: What do you hold sacred, if not young, innocent life?
18:33:44 Ulrezaj eyes Grooda curiously.
18:33:48 Cerryan cocks an eyebrow, looking pointedly at the Grim's leader
18:34:00 Kexti moves closer to Julilee, and opens his stance.
18:34:00 Lilliana rolls her eyes, and doesn't try to hide the action.
18:34:22 [Awatu]: Sacred? I hold but one thing sacred to my heart.
18:34:23 Leyujin mutters, barely audible... "taday's children, tomorrer's enemies..."
18:34:27 Cerryan shoots a glare at Lilliana, but for a moment just looks sad, before looking away to the ground
18:34:54 [Cerryan]: This should be good.
18:34:55 Kexti rolls his staff to his other hand, and puts the other on Cerryan's shoulder to steady himself.
18:35:01 [Awatu]: The Mandate.
18:35:09 Lupinum allows a small, knowing grin.
18:35:12 Daxxum smiles at Awatu.
18:35:12 Cerryan places a hand on Kex'ti's supportively
18:35:20 Lilliana agrees with Leyu'jin's very softly muttered comment. Then, she nods again at Awatu's words, expected of course, but still.
18:35:27 Grooda seems to calm a little.
18:35:28 Cerryan rolls his eyes pointedly at Awatu
18:35:28 Durkatar snorts in derision.
18:35:49 [Julilee]: You would blame innocents for actions they have not committed -- and perhaps which they would not, if you did not provide reason for them to.
18:35:52 Cerryan nods at Kexti.
18:36:16 Grooda mutters: "Dat right. Annihilation mean all die, not jus' combatant. Better'n makin'em slaves..."
18:36:23 [Awatu]: There are no innocents in war. There is only what the Horde controls, and what it will control.
18:36:31 [Durkatar]: This world has no future if you set to slaughtering innocents, and encourage the enemy to do the same. You are fools.
18:36:37 Lupinum spits on the ground.
18:36:40 Julilee gives Awatu a look that says she finds his words meaningless.
18:36:47 Leyujin is on the other end of the crowd from Grooda, but still overhears her and jerks his head in agreement.
18:37:01 [Julilee]: Durk'atar.
18:37:07 [Julilee]: Restrain yourself.
18:37:10 [Cerryan]: He isn't wrong.
18:37:14 Cerryan himself is barely restrained
18:37:14 [Julilee]: Cerryan.
18:37:22 [Durkatar]: No. No more of this! They are honorless wretches. This is a pointless exercise.
18:37:28 [Cerryan]: I...I'm sorry, Commander.
18:37:35 [Julilee]: Durk'atar, be silent, or take your leave.
18:37:42 Lupinum then mutters something about 'Pacifists'.
18:37:42 Nettles creaks and moves forward slightly.
18:37:47 Lilliana narrows her eyes, the usually childish face now just filled with an angry, annoyed and frustrated expression.
18:37:51 Awatu ignores the others, keeping his eyes on Julilee.
18:38:06 Durkatar grins and nods.
18:38:12 You look at Durkatar.
18:38:17 [Ulrezaj]: Heh. <chuckles lightly> Today's innocents? Look at de world all around you! Dis was Outlands, but yesterday.
18:38:17 Lupinum shoots a glance at Grooda.
18:38:18 Kexti ignores Grooda and turns his eye to the lightly armored men and women in the back.
18:38:23 Julilee looks back at Awatu.
18:38:45 [Julilee]: Durk'atar suffered under Garrosh's rule. As did many, many others in the Horde.
18:38:52 Awatu nods.
18:39:00 Jinsai slaps Jinsai across the face. Ouch!
18:39:05 [Durkatar]: And now we stand in a world forged by that madman's interference.
18:39:06 [Kexti]: Oh yes, Outland. Where the Arakkoa fight over the ruins of their empire, caused by Orcs drunk on demon blood. Yes, let us speak of Outland, and how pointless war lead to that horrible place.
18:39:13 [Julilee]: Silence.
18:39:23 Julilee looks at Awatu again.
18:39:36 [Julilee]: But the Grim flourished under his bloodthirst.
18:39:38 Lupinum is very grateful his shadows aren't along his shoulders at the moment.
18:39:47 [Leyujin]: No.
18:39:54 Ulrezaj bites his tongue, looking to Awatu to speak freely.
18:39:55 Lilliana 's expression turns to one of shock.
18:39:59 Awatu glances back to Leyu'jin.
18:40:03 Daxxum mutters to himself '...despite him.'
18:40:15 [Leyujin]: We fought 'is agents from da beginnin', as his actions divided da Horde an' turned us aginst each othah. Wut trash.
18:40:25 [Julilee]: But there was no action you could take against the Alliance he would not support.
18:40:27 [Leyujin]: We wuz mo' den pleased da bring 'is downfall. 'ow dare joo sully our name?
18:40:33 You look at Leyujin.
18:40:59 Leyujin snorts, looking at Julilee tauntingly.
18:40:59 [Julilee]: Your guildhall was not put to the torch. Your people were not hunted like animals.
18:41:14 [Leyujin]: Becuz we wuz strong enuff ta keep our people safe.
18:41:24 Ulrezaj grows tall and tense.
18:41:27 Lilliana grunts over that.
18:41:28 Kexti chuckles at Leyujin.
18:41:35 [Durkatar]: Except we are not "your people".
18:41:36 [Leyujin]: Ah offah condolences ta dose joo los', but it wuz yo' weakness dat earned Sanctuary's scatterin'.
18:41:54 [Cerryan]: Strong enough..the convenience of your bloodlust spared you, not your vaunted 'strength'.
18:41:55 Daxxum agrees with Leyujin.
18:41:56 Jinsai waves at Grimal.
18:42:04 Grimal nods at Jinsai.
18:42:09 Lilliana eyes Grimal up and down.
18:42:14 [Julilee]: Garrosh never turned on you, until the end, when he had made enemies of Vol'jin and more.
18:42:25 [Julilee]: You tell me you would have withstood his contempt?
18:42:32 Jinsai makes a series of strange gestures in an attempt to get Lilliana's attention.
18:42:46 [Leyujin]: Yes.
18:42:46 Grimal looks at Lilliana.
18:43:03 Leyujin stares evenly at the blood elf.
18:43:05 Julilee clearly dismisses Leyu'jin as irrational as she looks back at Awatu.
18:43:10 Lilliana turns her gaze to Jinsai for a moment while Julilee and Cerryan yack away to really annoy the Grim here.
18:43:12 Awatu turns back to Julilee.
18:43:21 [Cerryan]: I wonder who they would have even stood with, had the tide not so clearly turned against the former Warchief.
18:43:33 Lilliana glares angrily at Cerryan.
18:43:39 You blink at Leyujin.
18:43:40 Jinsai offers a smile and overly pleasant wave to the priestess. Long time since he's seen her!
18:43:43 [Leyujin]: One mo' word, elf.
18:43:55 Ulrezaj smirks at Cerryan, pleased with his rightly guided ideas.
18:44:04 [Durkatar]: Or what? You'll attack us again?
18:44:06 [Cerryan]: I have more that one for you and your lot, and you'll hear it by night's end, you have my word on that.
18:44:12 Cerryan has clearly kind of lost his cool
18:44:14 Lilliana 's looks that she pauses to return to Jinsai is one that is very cold...not like Lilliana at all.
18:44:17 Julilee scowls.
18:44:19 [Leyujin]: Ah respec' yo' viewpoint, but not while dey speak falsehood.
18:44:26 Jinsai frowns.
18:44:47 Grimal palms his face and shakes his head.
18:44:49 [Julilee]: No more accusations. Cerryan. Durk'atar. Step back.
18:44:52 Lilliana growls menacingly at Cerryan.
18:45:11 Lupinum waves his hands to lightly shoo Cerryan.
18:45:22 Cerryan clenches a fist, keeping a firm stare on Leyujin before closing his eyes and nodding. "Yes, Commander."
18:46:01 Julilee returns her gaze to Awatu.
18:46:05 Leyujin looks like he's furious, but at Cerryan's acquiescence to his leader's bidding he restrains himself, and snorts. "Bah!"
18:46:13 Ulrezaj quickly glances to Leyu'jin and mutters lightly, "Dey here to disagree, not reason. Heh. Some be testy, but der voices hath been subject to restraint."
18:46:32 Lilliana agrees with Ulrezaj.
18:46:36 Leyujin grits his teeth, but nods at Ulrezaj.
18:46:37 [Julilee]: Are you aware, Commander, that Vol'jin worked with the Alliance to bring about Garrosh's downfall?
18:46:52 Lilliana rolls her eyes again.
18:46:53 [Awatu]: More than aware.
18:46:53 [Julilee]: That he worked with them to defeat the Zandalari uprising?
18:46:59 Ulrezaj grins broadly, but returns to a full posture with teeth gnashed.
18:47:28 [Julilee]: Your philosophy had its chance with Garrosh. The Grim's day is waning.
18:47:43 Kexti looks sadly on the gathering.
18:47:43 Jinsai sighs lightly.
18:47:44 You stare Awatu down.
18:47:47 [Awatu]: Can you see the future?
18:47:50 A sly smirk spreads across Lilliana's face.
18:47:51 Lupinum lets out a laugh at that.
18:48:02 [Awatu]: Do you see what the winds have yet to bring?
18:48:03 Leyujin looks at Awatu curiously.
18:48:25 [Julilee]: I can see the past, which your guild chooses to ignore.
18:48:29 [Kexti]: Do you, Awatu of the Grim? You lack traditional magical garb, but I'm willing to humor your assertion.
18:49:04 Awatu grins menacingly at <no target>. "Your pup barks at me. Best to tug its leash."
18:49:18 Julilee glances at Kex'ti.
18:49:37 Grimal lets out a long, drawn-out sigh.
18:50:01 Cerryan places a had on Kex'ti. "He's deserving, but not now."
18:50:40 [Awatu]: The Grim is built upon the past.
18:50:49 [Awatu]: A past where the Alliance is allowed to exist.
18:51:00 [Awatu]: They do not see the Horde as allies.
18:51:09 Leyujin nods at Awatu.
18:51:12 [Awatu]: Do you believe they would really work with us?
18:51:19 Kexti grits his teeth and flushes in anger. He looks at Julilee.
18:51:21 [Awatu]: Look at us as equals?
18:51:43 Cerryan remains silent, but nods firmly and confidently at Awatu
18:51:53 [Julilee]: How many Alliance do you think have said your same words about the Horde? Yet here Sanctuary stands. And in Stormwind stand the Order of the Redblade, and the Twilight Empire, who have in fact made allies of Horde.
18:52:19 Lupinum grunts at that.
18:53:27 [Awatu]: There are fools within the Horde, who fail to see the truth. The truth that we are hunted. And will always be hunted. Shu'halo have been hunted by the Alliance. Trolls. Orcs.
18:53:54 [Kexti]: And yet, the Draenei gave up one of their Naaru to help the Sin'dorei.
18:54:03 Leyujin murmurs, "An' now e' be unleashin' da trooth..."
18:54:04 You sigh at Kexti.
18:54:47 Kexti leans back against his staff, grinding the butt into the stone.
18:54:56 [Awatu]: I doubt the light-demons had a true say in that matter. Mechanations long before having been put into motion.
18:54:58 Lilliana looks at Leyujin. She stuffs her hands back into her pockets...but the casual gesture doesn't seem that casual. She's tense, and annoyed.
18:55:09 [Julilee]: I will ask you this again, as I didn't properly phrase it as a question before.
18:55:18 Awatu looks at Julilee.
18:55:43 [Julilee]: Do you sanction your people attacking Horde in order to attack the Alliance?
18:56:05 Lupinum glances at Lilliana.
18:56:52 [Awatu]: I sanction The Grim to follow The Mandate, and fools who defend the Alliance... serve the Alliance purpose.
18:57:08 Lilliana spares a glance to Lupinum while Awatu speaks.
18:57:25 [Julilee]: So, yes.
18:57:42 Lupinum then mimes a series of seemingly random hand signals to her.
18:57:56 Awatu grins. "You concede that you are Alliance? You serve their king?"
18:58:05 You frown with disappointment at Awatu.
18:58:27 [Julilee]: I'm translating your verbal gymnastics to answer the question I posed.
18:59:07 Awatu nods. "Verbal gymnastics? Hardly. I speak simply and directly."
18:59:15 [Jinsai]: I'll join the Alliance if it means I can marry a sweet Draenei. You cannot tell me you've never admired the view of one walking away.
18:59:20 Jinsai goes back to being quiet.
18:59:28 Julilee pauses, looks like she wants to facepalm but stops herself.
18:59:30 Grooda scowls at Jinsai.
18:59:31 Leyujin looks at Jinsai and covers his face with his palm.
18:59:47 Grimal begins to groan.
18:59:49 Lilliana snorts derisively at Jinsai.
19:00:05 Kexti starts to smile and grimaces instead.
19:00:13 [Julilee]: Sanctuary stands with the innocent. If you cannot tell the difference between innocent and guilty, that is your failing, not ours.
19:00:14 Grimal reaches over and smacks at Jinsai's arm. "Not, now."
19:00:30 Jinsai snickers. "This is all too tense."
19:00:38 Grimal nods at Jinsai.
19:00:52 Grooda clasps both hands over her mouth and starts to turn red.
19:00:58 Ulrezaj looks at the troll on the ledge, "All too fine indeed."
19:01:08 Lilliana stares at Julilee from behind Awatu.
19:01:13 [Awatu]: I have clear sight of innocence and guilt. The Alliance are guilty.
19:01:29 Cerryan rolls his eyes
19:01:40 Grooda turns about and goes back to pacing nervously.
19:01:44 [Julilee]: As I said.
19:01:57 You look at Awatu.
19:02:02 Grimal chuckles to himself.
19:02:07 Leyujin nods at Grooda.
19:02:32 [Awatu]: The words on the wind repeat themselves. Do you have different words to share?
19:02:56 Grooda whispers softly: "Anansi."
19:03:01 Ulrezaj looks to Leyujin, "Why we still be on dis wind subject?"
19:03:21 Lupinum bites back another comment.
19:04:22 [Julilee]: If you truly served the Horde, you wouldn't attack babes and the elderly and those who cannot defend themselves.
19:04:29 Leyujin mutters back to Ulrezaj, "'cause dey sayin' da same tings ovah an' ovah agin..."
19:04:41 Grimal looks at Leyujin.
19:04:43 [Julilee]: I don't think you *can* serve the Horde.
19:04:52 Anaie shrugs. Who knows?
19:05:01 [Cerryan]: But they don't serve the Horde, do they? They serve their mandate. They care for nothing else.
19:05:17 Lilliana looks at Cerryan warningly.
19:05:18 [Cerryan]: And their mandate is self-serving.
19:05:28 Cerryan looks at Lilliana challengingly
19:05:29 Ulrezaj folds his arms at the broad accusation, "We make discernments within de Horde. Ah think we ought to be addressing some o' dese serious - and false - accusations."
19:05:31 [Awatu]: The Mandate serves The Horde. Only the blind could not see this.
19:05:48 Julilee looks at Kraadash and nods. She looks back at Awatu.
19:05:51 [Julilee]: You've lied to me.
19:05:52 [Awatu]: The survival of The Horde is our primary goal.
19:06:00 Lilliana has a stare down with Cerryan.
19:06:08 [Julilee]: Syreena is here, now.
19:06:19 Grooda uses her gun sights to get a better look at Cerryan.
19:06:20 [Awatu]: I never said she was not here.
19:06:28 [Cerryan]: The survival of Azeroth is ours.
19:06:49 [Julilee]: You indicated you had not yet brought her to justice. I assumed that was because you could not, especially considering the vow you made saying you would.
19:06:49 [Leyujin]: Leave da Alliance be, an' der won't be no Horde on Azeroth ta survive.
19:06:59 Lilliana finally says something outright, even if she's supposed to be quiet. "We aren't even in freaking Azeroth"
19:07:02 [Kexti]: Grips his staff. Oh, so where is this punishment?
19:07:14 [Kexti]: (/e)
19:07:51 [Awatu]: Oh, I will. In our due time.
19:08:00 Julilee narrows her eyes.
19:08:08 [Julilee]: In our lifetimes?
19:08:14 Grimal tells you NO. Not going to happen.
19:08:26 Grimal lets out a hearty chuckle.
19:08:36 Awatu gives a menacing glare. "In due time."
19:08:36 [Ulrezaj]: Jus' as your lawbreakers break laws and transgress, so must we in time. De difference be in constituting through defining justice.
19:08:41 Kexti searches for Syreena.
19:09:19 Lilliana offers up another deadly stare, but this one is for Kexti.
19:09:39 Julilee stares back at Awatu for a long moment.
19:09:40 Kexti smirks slyly at Lilliana.
19:10:25 [Julilee]: Where do we stand, now?
19:10:29 [Kexti]: I wasn't aware that the allegedly punished needed her arbiters to defend her.
19:10:44 Lupinum looks around, somewhat sarcastically, at their surroundings.
19:10:49 [Awatu]: In what regards?
19:10:59 [Ulrezaj]: What sort o' defense we be talking about? Ah hear o' none except absolute statements.
19:11:00 Kexti nods at Lilliana.
19:11:22 Lilliana eyes Kexti, and doesn't say anything.
19:11:59 [Julilee]: We met today with the understanding there would be talks. What happens the next time our guildmembers encounter each other in the world?
19:12:14 Lupinum grins at you wickedly.
19:12:27 Daxxum cracks his knuckles at the statement.
19:12:34 Jinsai smirks.
19:12:34 Lilliana makes another one of those growling sounds.
19:12:34 [Ulrezaj]: If ah eveh see a Sanctuary, den ah will surely greet dem in de common premise o' being Horde.
19:13:00 Lilliana glances at Ulrezaj, and smiles just a bit.
19:13:06 Cerryan musters something close to a respectful not towards Ulrezaj
19:13:14 Leyujin smirks at Lupinum despite himself.
19:13:33 [Ulrezaj]: Horde to Horde conflicts stir only from de initial transgressions, but Horde to Alliance? No Alliance ought to be trusted under any circumstances. Dey be like Warsong Iron Horders. None represent dat which is right in de world.
19:13:44 Kexti leans to Julilee.
19:13:54 Jinsai takes a moment, taking aim at Kexti before seeking to nail him in the side of the face with a [Healthstone]...using the logic that it might undo any harm it causes. Healthstone!
19:13:55 [Cerryan]: That's...that's just messed up.
19:14:34 [Awatu]: If they are to meet each other, then they are to meet each other. What comes of it will be decided among themselves.
19:14:58 Grimal looks at Awatu.
19:15:14 Grimal shakes his head in annoyance.
19:15:17 Kexti bows before you.
19:15:18 Julilee looks at Kex'ti, then at Awatu.
19:15:20 [Julilee]: That's it?
19:15:35 Daxxum smiles.
19:15:40 [Cerryan]: Commander, it doesn't seem likely that we are going to get anywhere further with them.
19:15:45 [Kexti]: I'll take my leave. No sense arguing with fools.
19:15:45 [Julilee]: No.
19:15:51 [Awatu]: You wish for more? Shall I give the order to being slaying?
19:15:56 Kexti turns and hobbles away.
19:15:56 Lupinum shoos Kexti away. Be gone pest!
19:16:00 You look at Awatu.
19:16:03 [Julilee]: Do you dare?
19:16:19 Ulrezaj stares at Awatu intently.
19:16:22 Lupinum gnashes his teeth.
19:16:26 Grooda looks at Jinsai and begins to drool.
19:16:35 [Awatu]: I look upon Sanctuary and do not see Horde. I see Horde who have chosen to side with the Alliance.
19:16:46 Lilliana doesn't look happy.
19:16:54 Grooda points at Jinsai and makes a throat-cutting gesture.
19:16:59 [Cerryan]: As if the Grim could be considered staunch examples of the Horde.
19:17:00 [Julilee]: I believe the only one who can decide who stands with the Horde is Vol'jin.
19:17:14 [Julilee]: Why don't you ask him which of our philosophies he prefers?
19:17:20 [Julilee]: I told you... Your time has passed, Grim.
19:17:28 Ulrezaj equips the two daggers "Bloodlust" and "Dedication."
19:17:31 [Julilee]: I'm sorry for wasting your time... Sanctuary.
19:17:35 [Awatu]: I am certain he would prefer dead Alliance to aided Alliance.

[[ So my original plan was to have a duo of very amusing goblins in the background to keep folks entertained... My second plan was to have the leaders break off into their own group and then both groups could play freely... Unfortunately, neither of those things panned out. Next time there's a big meeting, I'll try to find something so that everyone can have fun and not get bored! Thanks for showing up anyway! ]]
