Contravention (A Multifandom RP) ROLEPLAY

"At least where I come from, it's real," Neith replied, "I usually stayed away from there, but I've fought a couple times in its battlegrounds." She stood up, slouched a bit as she was still somewhat sleepy. She'd almost forgotten about the leg. "It's doing better, probably won't be long before it's perfectly fine. A perk of one of being a goddess, I guess. But being here, the more I think about it, makes me feel less and less prominent."

"Give it a minute, it's on its way," Chun-Li replied, dashing past him to escort him and the prisoner, fending off Genji. The cyborg noted her to be a melee combatant, and a fair fighter. As both were honorable, Genji decided to get closer, so they would both have a fair fight. He swung with his wakizashi, which hit her in the shoulder. She retaliated with a fast kick, but Genji already had the upper hand, so he was able to dodge it.

Tiki was nervous, but at least trusted Certex enough to know he was being honest. If they were going to protect her, they probably were, she just was afraid they may use her, like many others have in the past. "Very well. What is your request?"

"You heard that too, right?" Neuxi asked David, hearing Tali calling for her, "I'm going to head to the quarian's workshop...it sounded important." She headed out the door he had open for her.

"It was an off day, alright?" Neith laughed, wanting to throw a blanket at him, but not wanting to disrupt Ame's fortress. "Besides, you're a powerful opponent, I'll admit. I'm nimble, and good with a bow, but it doesn't take that many hits for me to go down. But yes, I'm a goddess. The Weaver of Fate, if you will."

Tiki blinked, looking grim and anxious. "No." She said quietly, shuffling her legs under the seat. Making her responses short to minimize making her thoughts known. She knows more than she's letting on.

Pharah, Tali, and Thane glanced over at Neuxi. "Good, we can begin," Fareeha spoke with urgency, but then dreaded seeing David. However, she went on with the urgent matter. "The Reins have one of our own, and they will only let her go if we give both Neuxi and Thane back," she started plainly to begin. Tali kept quiet, with good reason. Neuxi didn't know how to respond, just blinking in bewilderment. She had finally gotten used to this place, even liking it.

"Oh, shut up," Neith brushed him off, but amused nonetheless. "I'm not all powerful. Kinda. I controlled mortals' fate in my realm, and did other cool stuff, and could easily best any mortal, but I'm still not immortal with unlimited power. That would be impossible. I just...can't die of old age."

Tiki looked away. "I cannot. I do not want to intervene. My...powers are too untrusting." Her voice was calm in tone as always, but quivered a bit at the end of the sentence.

"Are you saying we just leave her?" Tali asked, "I'm just as upset as you are about this, but this is a dedicated person with who-knows-what waiting for them in The Reins." She looked to Pharah, however, who nodded and spoke into the comms. "We are unsure about this arrangement. Two prisoners for one of yours doesn't seem to be a proper trade." She didn't want to reveal that their agents were turncoat, because that would end the deal immediately. Caeldori turned to Vader. "What do I say?" She knew what she wanted to say. How she completely agreed.

"David is right," Thane put in, "we have dedicated ourselves to The Resistance. There is not a reason for us to want to go back." Neuxi shook her head, staring at the ground. "No, Thane. We have to go back. They need their real Resistance member back. One that has fought and bled for The Resistance."

"I..." Tiki mumbled, "I don't want to." She has only been awake a few years out of centuries, so she had the mindset of an older child. A mature one, burdened with knowledge, power, and responsibility, but a child nonetheless.

Tiki looked down, not saying anything. She hadn't heard the end of this, surely. From the sound of it, she was needed by Certex's group. But she couldn't. A single, light green tear flickered from the corner of her eye. It felt unfair to her, but part of her knew she didn't have a choice.

"But I don't want to be here knowing I'm the reason another is in chains, David!" Neuxi raised her voice. "I can't even fight or contribute!" Pharah looked the other way, and Tali kept a hand hovered over the response button.

Neith gave a grin to Grey Fox. "Hmph, guess you're right there." She adjusted a part of her hair and then stretched an arm. "Can't wait to show off how good I can be when not faced with a powerful ageless guy with a sword."

Tiki blinked, looking up once her curiousity peaked. "Fareeha? Are they your leader?" She exhaled, accepting that this place must be safe for her. Right now, she was in the mood to fall asleep for a good week.

"...Damnit!" Kel'Neux smashed a fist on a desk not knowing how to argue with his points, her biotics causing nearby objects to suspend for a few moments before falling back to their original spot. "What the hell do we do, then!?" "Guys," Tali interrupted with a soft voice, "we need to respond."

"Both of us?" Tiki breathed, "I...oh, uhm, alright," she decided to go along with it. Standing up, shaky at first, she was able to walk slowly now that she was more aware.

"There are plenty of options, but all have consequences," Pharah responded, breaking her silence. "We tell them there's no deal, but that risks the safety of Caeldori. We give you both up, but then you're on your own. Or we...like you said. There's no right decision here. But there's a wrong one, surely."
