We'll just make sure Tenshi knows that there is to be no fighting; just go, deliver the message, and leave. The circumstances have changed since the fights, and also, the fight with Meiling was agreed to by both ahead of time and the fight with Sakuya was as a result of our instructions. As long as we're clear that there is to be no violence, I don't think there'll be any problems.

What, this again? We already established what Nue wants, and even told Tenshi as much. >_>

I was going to enlist her in getting a picture of Aya, to be honest.

Actually, thinking on it, that would be the best option: Nue would think that taking a covert picture of Aya would be good revenge, but we don't need to let her know that Aya actually wants that.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #76 on:** April 09, 2011, 05:19:06 PM »

That was my thought as well. I'd ask that she teach Shuuei how to use the seed first, though, and yes, there is collateral we can give her if necessary (I believe I mentioned that previously).

Sect · « **Reply #77 on:** April 09, 2011, 05:26:09 PM »

What collateral are you talking about? And there's no need, and in fact a detrimental stance, to withhold the information about Aya until after Nue teaches Brocken how to use the seed: we want Nue more than she wants the information, after all.

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #78 on:** April 09, 2011, 06:02:30 PM »

No, I meant do that before going after Aya, not before telling Nue about Aya. Shuuei's time is limited, you know; we need to help her before spending too much time on other things. And the collateral is the gemstone; I know we don't want to give it up, but there were no objections raised when I mentioned the possibility of using it as collateral (since, you know, we'd get it back once we paid).
