( I know, kinda not your cup 'o tea...but it's where you'd find Shin. lol )

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 9:30:10 PM)
((Mountain, Mohammed, it all the same to me. I the one with the ridiculous social pool, why ruin it by demanding he comes to me? =P ))

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 9:31:11 PM)
( When directing him to the inquisitors, Perri would surely note this location as the most likely place to find the Lord Inquisitor. )

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 9:32:03 PM)
*there is only so far you can drive, and from there its walking, and boy does Juhani look odd doing it, his richly appointed attire more than al ittle dirty, Italian leather shoes and Armani suits not ideal for the walk, he doesn't know where to find Shinjo but he knows how - its difficult to believe anything avoids his notice* -q- I hope you appreciate the material cost of this ((Shinjo is easy enough to be found by :P ))

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 9:34:25 PM)
He had barely lost sight of civilization when a set of glowing golden eyes appeared within the shadows of the swamp. Tiny little things, zipping about through the trees, it would soon become apparent that they belonged to a small ruby breasted humming bird. The small creature came to a pause just out of arm's reach from Juhani, offering a rediculously strange bow of it's head before turning and zipping off once more. It would pause on occasion, as if expecting him to fall in step behind it and follow.

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 9:36:11 PM)
*laughing with obvious delight, he follows after, fishing a cigar from his jacket pocket, neatly clipping and lighting it, following closely but clearly not built for long term endurance, still grinning a touch maliciously* -q- Nice place you have here. Defensible. Secluded. I wish I could do the same with concrete.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 9:40:10 PM)
"You can", came the deep rumble of his predatory voice. The source of that voice became clear a moment later when a thick wall of foilage was rounded and the lake itself came into view. The water was clear and vibrant and had cut a neat natural clearing in the woods, a distinct contrast from the murky depths of the swamp all around it. Massive stones had been piled up in a wall at the back of the lake, a primitive wall held together by vines that seemed to have naturaly grown into a securing net. The wall itself reached it's arms nearly entirely around the lake, descending until only a few flat stones tamped into the earth sat at it's nearest bank. All around the lake the plant life was in fresh bloom as if it were still mid spring, defiant of the chill autumn air. In the center of the lake rose up a large oak, snapped near the top as if some giant hand had reached down and plucked away it's canopy. Amongst the lowest branches of that tree reclined Lord Zaebos, his massive serpentine form coiled about the woo

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 9:40:26 PM)
wood, wood worn bare of bark by long exposure to his scales.

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 9:45:17 PM)
*looking up with a small grin, he can't helped but be impressed by the display, shaking his head as he surveys the territory, lifting the silvered shades from his eyes to reveal the angelic gaze made of stars and ice* Not without redecorating, and Keara would murder me if I tried. She has the eye for interior aesthetics, not I *nodding to the hummingbird as it moves away, slightly respectful, he returns his patient, slightly mocking gaze to Shinjo, still carrying himself like a Devil and a bastard even amongst the mud* This has been a long time coming, Lord Inquisitor. I hope I am not disturbing you?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 9:48:27 PM)
Over six meters of muscle and scales began to wind about the limbs and trunk of the tree as the eerily human torso rose up from the branch it had been reclining on, moving 'upright' to give an appearance of standing. His large golden eyes gaze down at the devil, stern and unrelenting, though what hostility was there seemed a natural thing...not something Juhani himself had provoked. "You are not. I have been waiting for you for some time, but given your recent change in position, the delay is a forgiveable one."

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 9:50:12 PM)
*he shrugs a little, unfazed by the position the serpent has over him, his lips twitching a little at some joke he doesn't share* Our dear Tyrant has me running in circles. This is the third role I have held so far, and with the recent steps beyond the boundaries of sanity by Delacroix, I felt it best to allow situations to settle before I approached. I would hate to walk in to a meeting and blow the big secret.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 9:52:54 PM)
His eyes narrowed dangerously at the name of Ornius' host, his pale white skin and scales deepening to a midnight black, trimmed in splashes of crimson like freshly shed blood. "An example has been made. The one who caused the infraction devoured. Ornius lives within me now, to serve out their punishment for eternity." He paused for a few long moments before nodding once, his slender ivory horns flashing in the moonlight. "I must say, I approve of the Tyrant's newest designation for you. I believe you may do more good in this function than as a mere General."

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 9:56:40 PM)
*rich, accented laughter rolls out, eyes flaring up at the comment* I have no doubt you both conspired for this role. I find elements of it to my liking, though I worry about the strategic direction of the Lions now. Still, not my concern. I had my chance to choose my own role when I passed over Tyrant - I can hardly complain if events are not as expected now.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 9:59:22 PM)
He grunted quietly, a hint of grim amusement tainting the sound. As the conversation led away from the recent demise of the scourge the crimson faded from his scales and the deep black coloration began to soften to a pure alabastre white once more. "The Lions will fufill their role properly, or they will be held accountable for their failure. With recent events, I am more concerned with the Aurochs properly upholding our laws and traditions. I suspect that having you embedded within their ranks wil go far towards that end."

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:01:34 PM)
From what I hear. Apparently I am rather likeable, I hold the keys to a ridiculous amount of booze, and I am an habitual liar - I deal with women after all *shrugging again, he lifts a hand to scratch at the tattoos on his face, a habit he never bothered to correct* I will have to sell them the reason why I was demoted, and somehow explain that despite being of the Tyrant noble line I am not a snitch, but that is fairly simple.

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:02:58 PM)
((my lunch break just ended, so posts may be a little shorter or a little longer in arriving, FYI :P ))

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:03:55 PM)
Again he would nod, lowering enough to cross his arms over the nearest branch and rest some of his immense weight upon it. "I suspect you will have no trouble with that. Your house has always been well practiced and leading others to your point of view, regardless of truth or factual basis." The ambiguous comment seemed neither praise nor insult, but rather a simple stating of fact.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:04:00 PM)
( no problem )

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:12:00 PM)
*eyebrows shoot up before he grins and bows just a little* I will take it as a compliment and an asset. Leadership some call it *shaking his head, he stomps towards a smaller tree, leaning against it idly* I assume you have grand plans beyond keeping the rabble in line?

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:15:07 PM)
He grunted again, grim amusement in the sound, perhaps it was the strange being's attempt at laughter? "It was never my intention to get caught up within the politics of the Sebettu when I decided this world was still worth more whole than turned to ash. But here we are. I will serve my post because I have given the Lady Tyrant my word, beyond that, my aspirations are my own. So long as no one encroaches on my territory the rest of you will be none the wiser to my intentions, and be better off for it."

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:20:57 PM)
I did mean with regard to the Tyrants territory, but certainly, I can understand your desire to remain apart. It is admirable, especially when it means meddling souls like myself have some more free reign *ashing his cigar with pale, long fingers, his eyes sweep over the swamp* and it is certainly worth remaining apart here, in more ways than one.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:24:36 PM)
"The actions of you and those like you will not be meddled with by myself, so long as it brings no threat to the Court and does not spill into my territory", he stated flatly, his deep rumbling voice causing the massive oak he reclined in to quiver, sending ripples away from it across the water. "That being said, the city itself still taints my land with it's presence. In time, it will become a necessity that I extend my influence in enough to bring these atrocities to a hault. Unless another is wise enough to do so before I am forced to take action."

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:37:42 PM)
The Court is as much my baby as it is any others, more so in fact given the early scheming that occurred before yourself and the Tyran made your appearances. I assure you - stability is my goal here. That means stability for your territory as well as mine. My political aspirations aside, I have thrown my lot in behind Surya and her Court, and I take such allegiances quite seriously.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:42:15 PM)
"If that is truly the case, it speaks much of you in the ways of honor. A trait that I respect when proven legitimate." His massive body began uncoiling from around the tree then, lowering itself down to sprawl across the boulders that held the old oak standing dispite his weight within it. "As for your duties to the Dragons, that are simple. You can call me, Zaebos, by name to give your reports. I do not require them unless there is something of measure to be said, I will not waste your time nor my own to simply hear that all is well. Interact with the other warders, get to know them, their hopes, their dreams, their ambitions. If you find anything of merit, I will listen."

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:45:49 PM)
*nodding slowly, his head tilts to one side as he follows the precarious movement of the branch, his voice carrying with a slightly musical quality* Likewise, though clearly by my name Demnathri. Though I cannot guarantee my full attention at all times - my life is hectic and prone to bursts of excitement.

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:47:57 PM)
"Should I call, I shall respect response. If your reasoning is just, you will not be hastled if said response is late in coming." He cast those golden eyes onto Juhani for a moment, the dangerous golden gleam peering intently into the angelic wells of the devil. "I am not an unreasonable being."

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:49:10 PM)
( Er, expect...not respect >.> )

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:52:47 PM)
Clearly not. I can assure you, you will not be delayed unless I am in a life or death situation or otherwise occuppied by someone of suitable rank. Shall we say... ministerial and higher? Though I am amused at the need to palce such definite terms upon me. I think I may have been hoodwinked in some ways by the Tyrant, though clearly that is nothing to concern you with at this time *he smiles slightly*

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:56:22 PM)
He nodded slightly, "Then we are at an understanding." He turned away then as his massive body sank down into the water of the lake, gliding gracefuly across it's surface towards the bank. As he did so, the little humming bird zipped back into view and began to hover not far off to Juhani's side. "You are an Inquisitor now. I look forward to your first report, Sir Damnathri." And with that he began moving off towards the woodline, the meeting apparently over. The small bird continued to wait, intending to lead Juhani out when he was ready to leave.

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:58:16 PM)
hrmmm yes indeed *he looks at the Hummingbird, laughing softly* I shall be fine without guidance. I have traversed far worse in snow *turning from the meeting, he begins the trek out* (I knew this was gonna happen. Now I get to berate the Tyrant for misinformation. yay! ))

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 10:58:40 PM)
( lol, what happened? )

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:59:46 PM)
((Keeping in mind I am a Devil, she stated that I would work with Shinjo, not work for. Juhani is very particular and purposefully took her at her word on the matter. IC information is power right now after all, and I need some leverage for a certain action))

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 10:59:53 PM)
((I am scheming mercilessly))

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 11:00:23 PM)
( Ah, yea. Unless you're a minister, you'll be working for whomever leads the ministry you belong to. )

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 11:00:56 PM)
( Look to the bright side? If you have to work for any of them, Shin will likely be the least bothersome. )

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 11:01:07 PM)
((yes, but she never said that. I know IC that is typical, -however- I plan to use it anyway in whatever way I can. Juahni knew this'd happen, he planned for it :P ))

Tokugawa Shinjo (Nov 12, 2010 11:01:56 PM)
( Hehe, well, it was a good scene. Thanks for the RP. Let me know if Juhani ever has need of Shin. Being an Inquisitor, he can call on him any time. Shin watched out for his own. )

Juhani Järvinen (Nov 12, 2010 11:02:06 PM)
((righto dude :) cheers))
