The Multiverse

Room of Reason

115.75 INK

a part of The Multiverse, by Remæus.

Leading off to the south from Castle Vankoryth's Entrance Hall via a heavy, wooden double door, is the Room of Reason. Inside the room cuts away from the more polygonal layout of the rest of the castle to become almost perfectly circular. The walls are lined with various tapestries and the only window, little more than an arrow-slit, is often covered by a miniature pair of crimson 'curtains'. The centre and main attraction of the room comes in the form of the large, round table carved from stone that sits in the middle. With enough room for perhaps twenty people to sit around the outside; and each would get their own chair fashioned out of oak and decorated with a slim, bold-coloured cushion.

Through a heavy, wooden double door is the
Room of Reason.

Inside the room cuts away from the more polygonal layout of the rest of the castle to become almost perfectly circular. The walls are lined with various tapestries depicting scenes from folklore and mythology. A banner tapestry of the Vankoryth Detente emblem hangs on display. There is only one window, little more than an arrow-slit, is often covered by a miniature pair of crimson 'curtains'. The room is candle lit by an old chandelier which hangs from the ceiling.

The centre and main attraction of the room comes in the form of the large, round table carved from stone that sits in the middle.

"It's a Reverence II," Alex explained, glancing to Casper before hesitantly making her way over to the table. "One of the Aschen war-ships that occasionally stop by to investigate various happenings."

She looked to Casren.

"Apparently our host was expecting them, so there isn't any reason to be alarmed." The edict was still clutched in her hands. She'd had a chance to read it over, twice.

She laid it down on the table. "I don't see any loopholes, though, I don't know how Detective Delancy would feel about the people being encouraged to turn in non-native residents to your doorstep for a fund."

Her expression was wan. "Sounds like freelance merc work if you ask me."

The Loud engines seemed to drone down to a dull roar, but the Reverence was there clear as day. Several beams of light shining down into the countryside, where pre-fabricated landing bases were deployed along with infantry which could be seen moving through the countryside, detailed by the bobbing and weaving of bright blue-white flashlights.

Casper moved to take Alex's place, moving aside the tapestry to observe what was happening outside the slit of a window. He glanced between the lights and the host, with wide eyes and a telltale smirk.

"I'll just make an annoying noise if they start getting too close, then." he said dully, in an attempt not to distract from the meeting.

Casren nodded to Alexandra, hearing her concerns. Behind him, guards would shuffle upon hearing of war ships. He lifted a single finger, signaling them to settle down.

"At the time the Blood Edict was conceived, there were very hostile happenings. Wing City was a rampant place, with all due respects. The Detente figured they would more or less accelerate the problem towards peace." He smiled, revealing fangs like needles.

Casren turned the smile to Casper, "That would be much appreciated." He winked, then looked again to Alexandra.

"Perhaps we can negotiate a clause? As you can see, the Humanity clause was added to protect non-vampires in these hostile times. The last thing the Detente wants is a human caught in the crossfires. As for the Elysium clause, it is an attempt to draw out the civilized of our kind, so they need not plague Wing City anymore, and the City need not plague them." He breathed in, smelling their weird. It was starting to get to him a bit.

"The true goal of the Blood Edict is to, as a brethren once said, "Separate the Men from the Monsters from the Dogs."

"I just hope you understand that, should we find a vampire of any kind in violation of the laws that Wing City has set down to govern its people, we aren't going to immediately turn them over to you. A citizen is a citizen, Detente member or no." She handed the Edict back over to Casren.

"It shouldn't state that other vampires are required to become a member," she said, "...but I do believe there should be some sort of a signature, a registration, perhaps, of vampires who come who are not true residents. They can be given a chance to acknowledge the laws we've put in place, and will be barred access should they choose not to agree."

A small smile. "Then, of course, the law would come into effect should there be some sort of violation."

Casren stiffened a bit. The detective raised many valid points and questions.

"The Detente is not a frivolous membership. To be a member of the Vankoryth Detente is to choose humanity over the beast inside. Are you familiar with our creeds? Are you familiar with the cultures of Vampires? We're very fickle, and tend to like war and violence, and subterfuge," He waved a hand, smile growing, "Deceit, lies, blood, anguish!"

Casren leaned back in his chair, nodding.

"We live forever, can you blame us for wanting some theatrics? However," The smile faded, "It is in this theatre that the innocent die, splash damage as they call it in war," It was a term he had picked up from hanging around Tower Alba. Military men were truly entertaining with a bit of wine in their system. "The Vankoryth Detente wishes to eliminate splash damage, or at least minimize it. Whoever doesn't stand with us is assumed to be against what we are for, as we stand for all you do. These individuals wish not to account for their actions, care not for the lives they take."

Casren looked to the window, awaiting some more noise. When none came, he looked back to Alexandra.

"Your other points are sound. The laws of Wing City stand above all else. I warn you of those that think they exist above the law. It is they who are our true enemies."

After his little speech, Casren placed his elbows on the table and leaned forward.

"Now, shall we negotiate a clause, or is the Blood Edict free to be enforced in Wing City?"

"From what I've heard, the Edict is sound. I have my reservations, but I don't see any reason for it to be changed." she looked to Casren with a slight smile.

"I'll be sure to let Detective Delancy know that we've reached a peaceable decision, unless there's anything you need from me." She glanced to Casper, signalling quietly that it was about time for them to go.

Casper let the tapestry drop back, and turned on a heel to look to Alex again. He nodded, and folded his hands behind his back. "A little sad that refreshments and cookies weren't served, but y'know, given the setting, I think I'd take a pass anyway."

He put one foot infront of the other, and sauntered over to where Alexandra had been standing. Another glance to Casren. "Joke, by the way. And it looks like we're not going to have any trouble with the guys in alien ships with flashlights, so, hey. Treaty and more. I'd give you a high-five, but you don't look like the type."

"That should be all," Casren noted, pulling from a hidden drawer in the table a quill and parchment.

"Now, if we could just get this in writing, that would be great."

He slid the paper and autoink quill to Alexandra, and shot Casper a smile. "I'd love a high five, but I don't think you'd like one from me."

Alex's lip twitched as she looked to Casper, her eyes glittering. With a slight, almost imperceivable shake of the head, she turned and took the quill from Casren, setting it to the paper.

"I'll be signing in her name," she noted to Casren with a small smile.

"She is Chief of Police, after all."

With that, she signed Detective Delancy's name with a flourish, before laying down the quill.

"It was a pleasure, Casren. I hope we'll have a chance to visit some time in the future." She turned, touching Casper's arm lightly, and moved for the door.

Casper looked at Alex, noting her disapproval. He'd taken his hand out of his pocket, slowly at first, before his eyes had flashed to Casren. "Notary. Right."

He'd picked up the quill, taken the document, and signed so unintelligibly under Casey Delancy's name that it wouldn't be discernable between 'Harpert' and 'Saladino'. It was a feat, but afterward, he'd given a mighty smirk.

Then, he'd set the quill down, raised his hand again, and nodded toward it, eyes still on Casren.

"Diplomacy five, then. As long as you're not going to break my fingers, or anything."

He entered briskly, cloak flaring, to the seemingly empty room. Looking around, Casren checked to make sure the coast was clear, before he tapped in a combination into a series of stones on one of the exterior walls.

The center of the table began to rumble, shifting, magically coming apart to a series of sections, before the sections rotated away. Revealed was a small spiral staircase.

Casren descended, knowing the secret Armory of the Castle was below. The table closed behind him.

Maxime entered the room and looked around. He had just returned from his trip to the tavern. He figured it would be a good idea to report in. Before he had entered he swore he had heard movement but the room was clearly empty. He placed a hand on the hilt of his blade and cautiously circled the room.

Suddenly, and without warning, the large round table at the focal point of the Room of Reason began to crack. Sections would make themselves prominent, a serious of lines connecting at a massive star in the center. The star broke, and triangles of table would raise up, others falling back. The table was transforming, spiraling in on itself until it was a smaller table appearing to hover at the center of a pit. What was going on?

A cloaked head popped over the horizon of the pit, as Casren ascended the hidden staircase. Beneath the cloak he was armed with a few weapons he hoped would prove handy on his endeavor. An enchanted blade, nothing all too special but especially sharp, a gun loaded with silver bullets and a couple extra clips, and a few things designed by Descorp. His cell phone, of course, which he had discovered down there in the secret armory had something called GPS. How long had this existed, how long had he foolishly mapped?

And how long had Maxime been here?
He stared, standing on the edge of the pit as the table pulled itself back together behind him. Then, the room was silent.

Maxime watched as Casren emerged from the transforming table with a variety of weapons. He looked stunned for just a moment before speaking. "Ah BonSoir. I-ah Was coming to report in to receive my orders when I heard a noise from the room my lord." he said a bit nervously.

Orders? He was off put for a moment, before coming to and removing the hood.

Of course! Is the Pool of Nyx secure?
It was an offhanded sounding question, but ridiculously important.

He next looked around, sensing another, mildly harried that he had been interrupted on his way out.

"I'm unsure I just came from the Tavern I have not been by there yet." He said with a frown. "Is something wrong?" He asked this was only his second day reporting for his military duties and he hope the meaning was literal and not a code phrase. Then Maxime sensed someone else had arrived and Maxime looked the man over and decided to leave his hand on the hilt of the blade but remained silent.

To Maxime, he turned first. Addressing him gravely, Casren spoke true very important instructions.

Protect the Cursed Wood, and all who seek refuge in these trees. Let Verinotte Hollow, and the safety of the creatures who flee to this forest, be a haven to the supernatural, to those who wish to live in peace from the war between Man and Night. So be them peaceful, so protect them. This is the highest command, the highest order, the most important request I can make.


Casren next turned to Kaiser, and gestured towards a seat.
Kaiser, my dearest of friends,

He meant for the poor man to sit while he finished speaking with Maxime.

He was speechless, for one thing. Friends? Since when had they been...If...it was all true, he owed that man that much, after his acceptance and kindness over the years, and especially recently. He took the seat, lets and arms crossed. Now more than ever, Kaiser wished he had but a simple glass of wine.

Wing City Lake has been poisoned with Elysium, the Pool of Nyx is an obvious target. Our people must be protected, at all costs. The people of Wing City, the Supernaturals, they must be allowed entry, civility must be enforced,
At this Casren paused. He had not been prepared to discuss this, but it came. Slowly, his gazed lingered on Kaiser, before snapping back to Maxime.

Alucard. Ubarum Xul. They are wanted. Find them. Make sure they do as little damage as, as, as, as possible!
With a wave of his arms, he dismissed Maxime, and whirled to Kaiser.
