[Wrathia Bellarmina, queen of hundreds of galaxies, ruler of an empire, warrior and curse maker, generally awesome person, is finding that all her plans have gone awry yet again. It's not a pleasant discovery. She is getting really tired of all these goddamn wrenches in her goddamn plans. Living body? Great. Lack of anything else? Less than great.

Things would be on fire, if she could still generate the heat for that. Another fucking problem that's going to need solving.]

Putting aside the freaking idiocy of a plan like this- your plans, not mine- I'm willing to concede the point that we could be useful to each other. You send me back, in this body, put together the correct fucking way so that it works properly, and in exchange I'll give you whatever it is you need most. You want these guys dead? I can make you a curse that will wipe them out with one taste. Problem solved, and I can get on with my unfinished fucking business that is substantially more important than this pile of crap. This goes for anyone who thinks they can hold up their end of the bargain, not just the so-called gods.

[And she smiles, with a nasty display of very long, very sharp, very pointed teeth.]

So, how about it? Do we have a deal?

[/NOPE NOPE NOPE]

[...Actually, with Wrathia out of her head and a completely new place to live in, this is a much better opportunity to get a different life than risk being tricked again.]

The faster they send you back, the better.

[victoryindeath]

[Wrathia's pretty thrilled to be out of Ava's wimpy shell of a body, too, so it's win win here. Not that she's ever going to start passing up the opportunity to make Ava suffer for being such a stubborn brat about their damn pact.]

They damn well better! And if they give me what I want, I can finally be rid of you. Frankly it's about time I stopped having to suffer through your pathetic excuse for an existence.

[nothingtolose]

[Gawd, Wrathia, you're the one who ruined HER life.]

...And what if they don't give you what you want? [What they want, really, but Ava doesn't want to end up agreeing right now.]

[victoryindeath]

[No Ava you ruined her life by being the first thing in the universe to be born after her death.]

Then I guess I'm stuck here until with you until they get bored and let go of me, aren't I? I'll be no worse off than I was before. After all, we still have our agreement.

[kusuriuriyaaa]

Curses.... never seem.... to run..... straight, so.... it seems a.... wasted.... effort.

[privately, he marvels at the number of nature spirits he's run into in this place. he's not sure what this person is, but she's clearly not human.]

[victoryindeath]

[Demon, of the fire sort, and some kind of alien to boot. Who the hell knows, really.]

Don't project somebody else's shoddy craft onto me. I'll give you exactly what you ask for, it doesn't have to be a curse.

[kusuriuriyaaa]

[the Medicine Seller has never met anybody quite like this before, so: willing to take things at face value! .... for now.]

Ahhh..... of.... course. You have managed... to overcome.... the constant.... nature.... of wanting.

[that's sarcasm btw.]

[victoryindeath]

[Man who the fuck is this guy and what is his problem.]

That's on their end, not on mine. I give for what I get, and if they want more, then that's not my problem.

You're kidding right? There's no way the Gods would listen to something like that. As soon as they give you back your powers your brain'll explode.

[victoryindeath]

I think I know what my own brain will and won't do in my own space, brat.

video

[parasiteye]

Well there's no way you'd be able to affect anything here from there, so you'd sort of have to be here. Where heads explode.

video

[victoryindeath]

But I don't give a shit about here, I give a shit about there. The whole point is to leave here, and go there. How freaking hard is that to understand?

video; forever late I'm sorry ;;

[parasiteye]

And I'm telling you, it isn't gonna happen!

[alternia_strength]

Demanding and impudent creature are you not? What possessed you to conceive that we would be given to accept such a one-sided arrangement, much less consider assisting one so unjustifiably arrogant in their methods of address?

[Pot, Kettle, behold, it is of an ebon hue.]

Audio

[victoryindeath]

[Who the hell is this joker?]

Excuse me!? If you brought me here you know I am extremely fucking important in hundreds of galaxies and that I don't have time to be wasting around fighting somebody else's wars when I've got my own priorities to get to! And I offered a fair deal, which is more than the likes of you deserves!

[alternia_strength]

If anyone with your filthy shade of skin color rules over hundreds of galaxies, they are clearly and obviously populated by fools and reprobates, their planets unworthy of consideration and ultimately to be steamrolled by the glorious Condescension when she can find time to be bothered. Clearly, if you are trapped as you are, your reach has far exceeded your limited grasp.

Audio

[victoryindeath]

[Somebody is cruising for a bruising, son.]

My grasp is still long enough to snatch your insolent tongue out of your head, if I'm feeling generous. And you can inform your Condescension that when she feels up for getting the floor wiped with her face she's welcome to come see me, and I will be sure to hand her her ass on the platter of my toilet seat, like I have every other jumped-up pretender with an imbecilic name who thought she could come knocking on my door. Now tuck your tail between your legs and crawl back to your bitch queen or hide behind the skirts of the gods and wait for me to melt the skin off your bones like a good little asskisser.

Audio

[alternia_strength]

[And oh how he feels likewise.]

Equius Zahhak does not hide from filthy, red-blooded little peasants with pretentions to power. I will relay your message when it suits my noble personage to do so, but not before your impudent carcass lies beneath my heel. Her Imperial augustness deserves nothing less than to be informed of the depraved comedy of your existence, not of the pretenses towards a threat you seem to believe you pose in your delusions.

I will not be hiding, peasant. You may find me quite easily.

audio

[affranchise]

All right. It's a deal.

audio

[victoryindeath]

Good choice. My terms are my life intact, my release from here and my power restored. If you can do that for me, I'm more than willing to pact.

audio

[affranchise]

[Totally LOLing over here SORRY.]

You thought I was serious!

audio

[victoryindeath]

[WOW RUDE.]

I'm not fucking kidding around. You don't think I could do it? That's your loss.

[asgardsstrength]

Why do so many people throw "so-called" in front of "god"? Dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb. That's no way to get a favor out of us.

audio;

[victoryindeath]

[OH HO.]

Any idiot can call himself a god. That doesn't make it true. It can't be that hard to understand why somebody would have some serious doubts over anything you have to say.
