@thevoidlessabyss​ sent: Level 2 intimidation—

Ah, thanks guys, I’m glad for these numbers! I’m glad for having you as my mutuals and friends, you all are welcome anytime for reaching out to me, whether it’s for plotting, talk or anything! 

Ah he’s been spotted! Quick think up a distraction! “Ah! If it isn’t Kaeya!” The male chirped, immediately screeching to a halt as he eyed the other nervously. “I don’t know what you mean! I played a fine tune for this bottle of wine! After all a bard must be paid for his work!” One does not think this is how it works—

Kaeya chuckled. 

“ THERE THEY ARE~! “

@thedesolateplace​ asked: “ (Psychi & Bella to Liam/H.L.) Oh the provocation was very easy to see working on the honkai dragon. The lights flickered down, causing Psychi to feel her blood run cold. Fear. That is what Psychi was feeling but Benares would speak up before Psychi had a chance to react. "How dare you disrespect my Queen!!" The bzzrap of electricity arced then, blowing a few bulbs now from the previous flickering a few feet away from them.

 Psychi knew this situation wasn't going to end well— but.... "Stop!!" She was smaller than him, and she wouldn't be able to overpower him but. "Liam! Stop!" When she said that name— she meant HIM. "Nothing good will come out of this!" But it was becoming clear he was antagonizing the other. She didn't want Liam or H.L. to be in trouble, to be hunted down and while she knew they were strong....but....! Sucking in a breath— she took a risk, black and red feathers danced into the air, catching Bella by surprise as small blast of lightning burned one away. A mind trick— but it was already enough, she'd managed to slip the dragon female into one of her illusions, disengaging her previous hostile nature. A few burn marks here, broken glass from the lights there, and something that Psychi was going to ignore at this point in favor of turning her complete attention back to H.L. "....stop..." Her voice quivered and begged. Using her power so suddenly, it exhausted her. "I forced her to disengage— there's no reason to continue!" Her grip held firm on his arm now. If he attempted to continue this further....She'd use physical force. Then she spoke again, tiredly. "....and for the record....Liam isn't the only one I want to see." Yup. She made that bold quip. Just...needed to get him away...

"I understand....she....the Herrscher of the void....they cause you both trouble and agitation....but not now. Do not go down this road....I don't want to lose either of you, and you know as well as I do that things will not be simply erased if you do this...." Again, pleading. Anything she can do to get him to not attack the female that had sunken to her knees. The illusion wasn't much, a simple action and it would erase the incident completely. Yet.... she would give a careful push against him, other hand coming to his chest to try and force him back. “

“ That’s the spirit! “

The fact that the dragon girl had quite obviously fallen for his provocations hook, line, and sinker was not wasted; as indicated by the clearly pleased notes that could be picked up in his voice, and the fact that his smirk happened to grow as her little electrical display grew. He had decided that he would let her get going in full swing before he decided to strip her of it all and knock her down. He wondered just how the Herrscher of the Void would react to the story that her servant here would give her about him-- Or even better yet, how she would react to learning that her prized little servant here was dead! But alas, that was not to be. Not with Psychi here to intervene and prevent things from escalating any further.

While electing to ignore Psychi’s initial attempts at begging him to stop, his reaction to the sudden appearance of the black and red feathers dancing down through the air was virtually the exact same as Bella’s-- minus the obliteration of one, that is. It took him a moment to properly realize what had been done when he saw the one he had been antagonizing slowly revert back to how she had been before she had begun to start getting more and more hostile due to his affects; but once he had, he released a disappointed sigh as he allowed his expression to revert back to the way it had been before that smirk had etched itself upon his face. Psychi had put her into an illusion, which rendered any point in his further going with this moot, and now the girl who was still hanging on one of his arms.

“ .... Don’t worry; there is no point for me to deal with her like this. None. “ He waited for her to wrap up with her entire spiel of begging him not to continue with this before finally deciding to respond. Even her quip about not only wanting to see Liam didn’t prompt his usual sort of response... and after a moment, he lightly pulled his arm from her grasp before approaching Bella’s currently incapacitated form and reaching out with an arm to wrap his fingers loosely around her throat. After releasing a sigh, much softer than the last one, he released his loose grip and allowed his arm to fall to his side again.

“ You know as well as I do, that he will never deal with her. Nor will he deal with this one. The only thing he is ever going to do, is bottle up all the irritation that they bring him and leave me to deal with it. Sooner or later, I WILL get to deal with them. “ Each word said was quite clearly dripping with the irritation that had been shoved unto him since the arrival of the Herrscher of the Void upon the Hyperion. But once done with this, he turned from the collapsed Bella’s form and walked over until he was at Psychi’s side.

@thevoidlessabyss​ asked: “ (Benares/Bella to Liam) That murderous intent was not missed, and already her wings were flaring to life behind her. "You!" That aura be fighting words, and poor Liam is stuck in the middle— "You want to kill me do you?" The crackling of electricity was heard as it sparked around her. But she didn't attack, merely grew increasingly hostile. “

“ What in the hell are you talking about? “

It didn’t take him overly long to figure out just who was responsible for this, but at the time of his response to her increasingly hostile demeanor he hadn’t the foggiest clue what had provoked her this much. Did she honestly just hate him that much? Honestly, that would not have surprised him based solely upon her reaction to him the last time she was on the ship. Once he had put two and two together-- her hostile reaction and a certain someone’s voice inside of his head-- he quite heavily sighed. As nice as it would be to just try to explain this situation to her, he knew that anything he shared with Bella here would make it back to the Herrscher of the Void and the response there would be... less than ideal. So he was left with just trying to end this interaction of theirs now-- though it was already too late.

“ ... Look, its for the best if you just go ahead and-- GHHH! “ 

He was forced to grit his teeth by another sharp increase in the pain he felt in his head; and that was followed by the voice once again ringing out in his head. After a moment the pained expression on his face was gone, yet... he seemed completely different, somehow. The only thing that remained constant, was that murderous intent-- which had somehow grown even more potent than it was just seconds ago.

“ ..... Killing you wasn’t what I originally had in mind, you obnoxious lizard, but if that is the way things go then so be it. “ His voice was subtly different. There was no distortion to it whatsoever, yet the way he sounded and the way his voice came across was much different than before. “ You’d do well to remember just WHO this ship belongs to; and it isn’t your precious little “queen”. It is ME, and I put up with enough disrespect and other bullshit from her that I will not take it from another Herrscher-- And ESPECIALLY not a mere beast like you. “

Once finished speaking, a smirk slowly etched it’s way upon his features as he fully noticed the crackling electricity in the air and her manifested wings. This was almost instantly followed by his taking a few steps closer to her; seemingly daring her to try attacking him.

@thevoidlessabyss​ asked: “ (Benares/Bella to Liam) "It's the human filth." It seems he has encountered the dragon girl. This is not going to end well, considering HoV is no where to be seen and she looks to be in a foul mood. "I do not have time for you, my queen requires my assistance." Though of course there was that glare, she felt uneasy around him and it added to her being on edge. “

Hearing the voice of the dragon girl, the captain couldn’t help but release a sigh. Honestly, he had thought that the last time she had appeared on his ship was going to be the ONLY time she ever showed up onboard-- But alas, as this clearly indicated to him, she had clearly returned once again. And undoubtedly for something related to the Herrscher of the Void, though even he didn’t know where she had gone for the time being. Turning himself to face her he felt the sharp pain inside his head that hard started a short while ago suddenly spike, so much so that for once he couldn’t hide the wince despite how quickly he acclimated to the increased pain.

“ If you really didn’t have the time for me, then why did you even bother speaking to me? “ Ah yes, one of those questions for her. “ Why didn’t you just glare at me like last time, and then head off in whatever direction you decided to go off in? “ And now for another sigh as he temporarliy allowed the irritated edge in his voice to drop.

“ ... Anyway, I certainly hope you know where the Herrscher of the Void is; because she isn’t on the ship right now. I noticed because she hasn’t harassed anyone today, and I haven’t been hit with any demands for cake or other food. “

Meanwhile, despite the fact that the irritated edge in his voice was gone for the moment, a feeling of incredibly murderous intent happened to surge out of him... It honestly seemed out a little out of place, but not too much so given who he was dealing with. And as for his end-- while he could not pick up on the sense of murderous intent-- he could hear a voice in his head snarling but one line;

@thevoidlessabyss​ asked: “ (Honkai Preachers to Liam) He'd thought he was safe? What a joke! A laugh! And so the dolls would chorus their laughter, and before the male could react the area would warp, the grandeur of the Theater now before him. "I abide you an official welcome~! To the Theater Of Domination!" “

Things had been relatively calm since the last appearance of the honkai preachers-- relatively being the operative word. There had been the incident where one of Kiana’s kitchen mishaps had blown up several appliances within the Hyperion’s kitchen, Himkeo had landed herself a portion of his paperwork after several incidents involving alcohol on his ship, and even the Will itself had decided to pay a visit, all among other things. But at least these events had played out over a... somewhat lengthy timespan, unlike the events of when the Preachers showed up. And things had finally just started winding down from the last incident.... when they finally decided to return once more. 

The captain had just been on his way back to his room after heading down to the kitchen to make something for himself due to missing the regular meal times, when he first caught wind of misplaced noises. It started off as some subtle clicks, and then the sounds of moving mechanical parts; typical things that he could very well write off as merely being part of Ai Chan fiddling with some things in the corridors back to his room. However, that changed right around the time that he actually reached the door leading into his office-- It was then that laughter reached his ears. It had started off as but a single voice at first, but quickly escalated to an entire chorus of twisted laughter that almost made his head split. And he had just opened up the door to try retreating into his office to prepare himself when he found his vision engulfed in a bright light.

“ ?!?! “

Once the light had finally faded and he could see again, the scenery that greeted him was... entirely foreign and alien. Yet despite that, one quick glance around at the odd structure and broken scenery were enough to tell him just where he had ended up; the Theater of Domination. And as if that alone wasn’t enough to sour any sort of mood that he may have had, a sickeningly familiar voice rang out to him-- The voice of a puppet that immediately drew both his gaze and ire, even though one had not actually appeared just yet.

“ ... So this is your infamous little theater, is it? “ His voice was cold, and clearly expressed both his displeasure and irritation over once again having to deal with them. “ I’m not impressed by what I’m seeing. Not that I wanted to see it in the first place; I would much rather you left everyone well enough alone, and just drifted off to god knows where in the Sea. “ For a moment he glanced around, trying to see if there was any where he could go that might get him back to the Hyperion-- But that was quickly dashed. He was trapped here, for the moment at least, and had no real choice but to go along with whatever annoying little scheme they had cooked up for him this time around until he could find away to escape.
