"That is, if you aren't already dead before we enter it.

We outnumber, outgun, and outmanoeuver you in every way.

Leave the Lazarus, untrapped and untouched, and we will leave you unharmed."

[Twi]

"Hrm... Maybe I should get Isabella to explain this to you. You don't seem to get it.. Ah, just wait one moment... "

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Or would you rather we kill you right now?

Your forces may or may NOT be a match for ours.

If you choose to leave now, there will be no problems.

If you wish to stay, we will stain your hands with the blood of the innocent. Your choice."

"What does he mean?"

Mara comes in, and Richard just stares in shock at the speaker.

[Twi]

"Geass and Mesmers, probably. More mind control. "
-=-
"...Actually, fine then. We'll leave. Niiiice and slowly. Won't we?"

....The hell?!?
((Aka: Albrecht apparently has not yet figured out that Anarchist was referring to FIRE FROM THE BLOODY SKY. ...Damn it, this actually works too well. Quick, make them change their minds, EC! Orbital strikes are boring!:P ))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"...I presume he is the Geass user then?"

"Miss...Anarchist, was it?

Yes, Anarchist, we know you've set up various traps and ghosts in the forest for us. I'll tell you now that I am not above sending innocents in.

And as for you....Marie, they haven't been Geassed. At all. Or mesmerized. No, they're all being held in a secluded location, ready to be forced into the forest.

So, I reiterate. Either leave, or risk the deaths of many, both combatants and innocents on your hand."

[Twi]

"Well, of course. It's only prudence. And we will of course prudently remove them.

And you forget something: My boss would be perfectly okay with killing most everyone here. Those people don't really matter to her.

But I said I was leaving, so why are you complaining? "
-=-
"Ah, I see. Well, see above. "

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Your boss can take it up with mine. I am only following orders, after all."

[SomeStupidGuy]

Ariana looks up at the speakers calmly. "Hm. Well then."
She stretches and steps away from the wall she was leaning against.

[Twi]

"Of course, you still want to become the leader. That's always how it works. Anyways, how about-"

A massive roar echoes through the ship.

"Thisssss issss no game of politicssss, Ssssir Albrecht! You've already fired the firsssst sssshot. In fact, I don't even know why you're negotiating at all. Except, perhapssss, to lord your 'ssssuperiority' over ussss...or perhapsss we're ssstronger than you thought? No matter. You're more than willing to kill ussss: it wassss your firsssst coursssse of action! Not to mention, you've left a trail of what can best be desssscribed assss villiany acrossss the world.

You think anyone would negotiate with people like that?!

Perhapsss thissss issss predictable for heroessss, but even sssso. Doessssn't make it any lesssss right."
-=-
Sapphira is somewhat inspired by this speech, it seems.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Albrecht laughs.

"And you call me a villain?

Your ally? Phyliss? She cares naught for the lives of anyone. She would be willing to slaughter anyone to win-hell, to satisfy her OWN needs to satisfy her bloodlust!

And you are willing to gambit the lives of innocents to succeed? You have trapped the forest with mass destructive weapons, not US!

I am offering you a way out of inevitable bloodshed, and you dare spit at us like this? A hand is offered to you, a hand of helping, and you return it with a boot of ingratitude?!"

[SomeStupidGuy]

Ariana doesn't really react to Camille's speech or Albrecht's counter argument.
The most she does is sigh at the mention of heroes.

[Twi]

"Hahaha.

Number 1: That's what we're for. Her bloodlust is useful if directed.

Number 2: No we haven't.  There's nothing in that forest that could harm you. Well, much, anyways.*

Number 3: You would surely go on to enslave and kill far more with Lazarus than could be killed here.
Given our relatively weak senses of self-preservation, fighting you seems a bit more logical now, doesn't it?
"

"Your hand disssssguisesssss a knife of treachery, 'Sssir' Albrecht.  "

((*Actually true! ))

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Yet she is exactly like we are.

What is the difference, between a bloodthirsty ghost and a bloodthirsty human?"

[Twi]

"Completely irrelevant, since you are NOT like her. You have goals. Ambition. Pride.  And you're willing to do terrible things to accomplish those goals, whatever they are.
Besides, she wants you dead more than she wants us dead. Good enough for me. I'm already dead myself."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"Arguably, making her worse.

We, at least, do not kill where we do not require killing. She is a force of nature, unable to stop unless a million souls hold her back. We are willing to negotiate.

I am giving you a last chance. Leave the Lazarus."
