> a-and I think someone might be t-trying to frame you, big bro!
Dammit, you were supposed to get him to come forward by acting like you would have had his back. He would have run his beak more.

>Ah, yes, I heard about that. Poison in his breakfast… what a way to go, no?
Fuck, it really was him. Even if someone else beat him to the punch with that knife attack, he didn't hear that news, he tried to make it.

No point in confronting him. Confirm the time, you'll have time to give the second antidote to Bri and organize your bodyguards.

I'll be free but Karas, are you ok? I mean you're using the same trick on me you use when you're trying to sell someone something. When you just keep talking and pushing whatever it is you're trying to sell barely giving the other guy time to think until the sale is made and you move on to something else before he even realized he just bought something.

If there's something you don't want to tell me fine but for the love of the 5 be careful. I have lost 2 people I love to that damned war and I refuse to lose anyone else, especially now that the war is over. So please brother, be careful,don't do anything rash or foolish, and if you need help don't be afraid to let someone know, even if it's just nothing more then venting your frustrations. You're not alone, especially here.

I think you've confirmed that he tried to poison Qelba, but didn't stab him.

>I’ll call a few friends to discuss this later tonight
Okay that's when we'll trap him. Accept the invitation for tomorrow night, but have him tailed from now on to see who his friends are. If we can catch them doing something suspicious enough tonight to give us a reason to search his room, then we can gather evidence to put them all away. If not, we'll have to just hope he says something incriminating enough tomorrow night.

>I think you've confirmed that he tried to poison Qelba, but didn't stab him.
Indeed. You’re pretty sure the official statement, if there has even been one yet, is that he was stabbed to death. The poison will probably not even be mentioned.
>Accept the invitation for tomorrow night, but have him tailed from now on to see who his friends are.
You already have Doxan watching his window… maybe it’s when he’s supposed to converse with his friends he sneaks out through it? …or, as your brother has never really been a climber, one of his friends enters it? Hmm….

>Man, his eyes are weird. Have his eyes always been weird?
He lost his eye in one of his travels and has some weird magical doohickey as a replacement.
>Dammit, you were supposed to get him to come forward by acting like you would have had his back.
Considering your brother has never really trusted you with anything important, mostly because you have a history of being a lazy, irresponsible bum, he probably wouldn’t trust you with whatever he is doing.
>It's looking like Karas is a rather incompetent schemer; he's not even trying to hide his motives.
Of course, as he considers you a lazy bum, he probably hasn’t even imagined that you’re trying to work against him, thus letting his guard down.
>This is a pretty obvious ploy to get you away from Briannah, so he can set up an assassination.
Yeah, he’s definitely planning something… you better foil whatever plan he has.


>Say yes. This gives you a precise time window to catch his men in the act.
:KarasSB: So, eight o’clock tomorrow? Great! I’m looking forward to some quality time between brothers, Kronos.
>Aren't we having alone time right now?
:KarasSB: Sadly, I’ll soon have important company…

…That’s your brother. While he might have some misgivings, he’s still your blood… and you don’t have any proof that he has done anything!

There were definitely something moving out there…
>Isn't Doxan spying through the window? Don't draw attention to him!
But… wasn’t Doxan supposed to keep an eye out for anyone climbing in or out of the window? If he’s out there watching through the window, he’ll scare away anyone who tries to sneak in…

While the relationship should be built on something sturdier than bodily pleasures, she's addicted to sex, and a withdrawal from it can't be the healthiest thing... Perhaps a compromise is in order. Enjoying an "Activity" once per week on the Day of Sun is fine, but use a favor to deny the actual sex (as in, penis-vagina/ass). She'll have to use one of her "Toy" people for that, at least for today, if she really needs it.

The only one who’s been following you around is Sisah and she’s currently checking around to see that no one is listening in on us.

…right, be calm… though, you’re not really sure how exactly you should approach an addiction like… this.

Aren’t you supposed to try and help her break her addiction? Having her sleep around all willy-nilly will probably not help at all… and… and you’re not really comfortable knowing she’s sleeping with someone else while you’re engaged.

Slowly, she turns around and starts to bend over. She is probably trying to make you ogle some of her better features, but you make a point of averting your gaze from her clever trap.

:BriannahSB: Alright, fine, I’ll take it a bit seriously. I already ‘now that ye brother is planning something.
:KronosSB: …you do?
:BriannahSB: Yah really think I don’t ‘ave my own spies and connections? Though, it wasn’t before yah started to stir up the ‘ornet nest, so to speak, that we actually got something concrete. In fact, just a few minutes ago a certain spy of my reported that they spotted someone climbing up to ye brother’s window and…

In the corner of your eye, you can see Bri’s other bodyguard, what’s her name, make some kind of hand motion.

:BriannahSB: And apparently entered his room too. Probably just after yah left. Suspicious, no?
:KronosSB: Yeah, well… my brother wanted to have some time alone with me tomorrow, at eight…

Even so, this guy's serious. Karas is the guild master of the treasury; he has RESOURCES. If he wanted Briannah dead, he could simply blow up half the castle and blame it on her. If Briannah doesn't take him seriously he might go that far.

ask if they got a good look at who went in? We saw something but just thought it was Doxan so we didn't point it out. But there was something that felt out of place when we went to talk to our brother. He got the same letter I did this morning and when I brought that up we almost freaked out and asked if I was ok. It just felt so out of place since the rest of the time he kept trying to steer the conversation onto other topics but when I brought that up he lost his composer for a second and went full on big bother and only went back to deflecting the question once I told him I was fine.

Okay, if she's got her own information network, why don't we work together? Let's cover all our bases. Does she have any way of finding out what the Archbishop is up to?

Ok Bri I have a question That I want to ask you and I want to answer honestly. Assuming it's a worse case scenario and every assassination attempt so far has been because of my brother and that we expose him what will happen? Personally, while he may be a bit of an ass at times he's still my brother and I don't want to lose any more family to this damn war, especially one that's already over. Economically the bastard is one of the kingdom's largest sources of income and is a major reason why the Serpens are allies with the kingdom. Seeing how our two kingdoms are now working together I would like to know just how exactly this will effect the realm both long term and short. And please don't sugar coat this.

>The temple does usually prepare itself for an ‘oly day that’s coming up next week, they’ve never prepared this much.
yeah on that front apparently the church has found some 6th god which from what I got from it is some kind of over god that created the other god.

...no, my father is still in charge until his drinking kills him.

The fact that your sister ordered some secret to be kept regarding the poisoning, probably means she's behind it. First the frame job to separate Qelba, then she poisoned his food to finish him off. She told Bri because your sister doesn't want her investigating or holding a grudge over something that was supposed to be non-lethal, if your esteemed bride hadn't shotgunned it during a meeting.

Something's wrong. Recall your lectures on astronomy, why are the two moons in opposing lunar cycles? There are ways to make such a picture but they require either forgery or fantastic situations.

As for the assassinations, perhaps you could kidnap your brother?
>>
No. 685966 ID: 6d4595

I'm not entirely sure if your brother's the main/only threat right now. He knew that there was an attempt to poison Qelba, which I'm pretty sure isn't public knowledge or anything like that, but didn't know that the attempt had failed and that he was stabbed to death instead. The stabbing was also somewhat recent, about 10-15 minutes before we got there, while the food was hours old and untouched. The question here, though, is if A)There's a secondary force with it's own unknown goals involved, B)Your brother isn't the "head" of this whole plan, and is possibly only a scapegoat, or C)The stabbing was done by your brother's underlings because the poisoning attempt failed, but that was never reported back to your brother.
>>
No. 685976 ID: f1d82a

She has been keeping secrets from you because she does not know how you will react once you find out that some of your family members are in the middle of assassination plots.

Same reason that you did not get told about what really happened to your brother. People get weird when family is involved. So she has been trying to keep you in the dark so you do not have to get hurt if something goes badly.

Let her know you are already up to your neck in this crap and keeping you out of the loop is just going to cause more problems. Just investigating by yourself you have discovered half the plots going on around here. At this rate any plans she comes up with might get ruined because you got in the middle without knowing they existed.

>…it wouldn’t surprise you if she did have a finger in this mess, but you can’t really see why she would poison either Bri or Qelba either.
Just because you can't see why doesn't mean it's not so. She said your sister was moving around pawns, it looks like Qelba got pushed off the board. If Bri were poisoned by anyone but your sister, she would be sore over it and try to investigate. Instead she was probably just told it was nothing personal, it was just something to get qelba- who she despised, you remember- out of the picture, or to make a honeypot for instigators like your brother.
>Best case, ‘e get locked up in some pretty mansion in the middle of nowhere, mostly cut off from the rest of the world.
Sounds... familiarly prophetic.

We'll do some more investigating, maybe Cain can be persuaded to direct the mumblings & gossip of the house staff to our ears. In any case, we'll have to walk into the trap. He won't say 'go' to whatever he's planning if we don't. Maybe some low-profile body armor will help.

>Maybe some low-profile body armor will help.
:BriannahSB: Armor? Heh, ‘ubby, I don’t think ‘e’s planning to assassinate yah. If anything, ‘e might do what yah planned and simply kidnap yah… or maybe ‘e might frame yah for the murder of Qelba? Either way, our marriage would be over…
:KronosSB: So… what do you suggest I do?
:BriannahSB: Find out what ‘e’s planning and act on that.

:BriannahSB: Now, the night is still young so… do yah ‘ave anything planned tonight or do yah want to stay ‘ere and ‘elp me warm up the bed?~
:KronosSB: If you’re cold I can light a fire in the hearth, but… hmm…

Should you call it for tonight? You might still find out something more about your brothers dastardly plot… but on the other hand, you’re in need of some R&R… Hmmm… decisions, decisions.

:BriannahSB: Snuggle in the sofa in front of the fireplace, then?

you see it's shit like this is why most sane people hate politics.

But yeah short of claiming out onto the roof from your balcony, then silently moving along the rooftops till you're outside your brothers room and listening in I don't really know any way for you to try and figure out what he's doing tonight. So unless you want to give that a try go with the snuggle on the couch by the fire idea.

Wow. Not even your own future-wife feels you're important enough to tell you she wasn't poisoned until you pretty much figured out something was up.

At this point, probably should just focus on the whole deal with your new found attention from the Powers that be.

I'm operating in the dark right now. I'll change plans once I can get a handle on what's going on, but until then I have to plan on doing this directly.

>Should you call it for tonight?
No rest for the wicked. Tell Cain what you need from him, wave a bribe in his face if he gives you lip.

>>686036
good idea, but wait until it's dark and don't wear anything easily identifiable.

Well played, but it's not nice to pretend to be a peppy idealist to your fiancée. Feels a lot like what Krotos did to Briannah.

So what, did Qelba intentionally make a scene and get framed to act as bait?

Anyways, go to bed. Scream the "I'm going to bed" protocol.

That's where you say "I'M GOING TO BED, AND I'M GOING TO COUNT THE SECONDS FROM WHICH I PUT MY HEAD ON THE PILLOW! ONE, TWO, THREE..."

Okay but seriously, limit yourself to groping. Just go to bed if you don't feel in the mood.

Your wife thinks of you as a pawn, threatens to harm or murder you if you "spill the beans", and now she wants to sleep with you? Hell no!

Well, you’re used to be ignored…
> At this point, probably should just focus on the whole deal with your new found attention from the Powers that be.
You still need to finish this business with your brother, but whatever is happening in the temple should be a concern too.
>Tell Cain what you need from him.
You’ll send a sealed message to him at once… which will include some other, more ordinary orders to make it seem a little bit less suspect if someone reads it.

>Well played, but it's not nice to pretend to be a peppy idealist to your fiancée.
:BriannahSB: Pretending? I am a peppy little idealist… though; I’m cynical enough to understand people will die before things become better again.
>You see it's shit like this is why most sane people hate politics.
:BriannahSB: And why other relish in it!
>So what, did Qelba intentionally make a scene and get framed to act as bait?
:BriannahSB: No, ‘e was supposed to play the innocent victim of a framing. We’re supposed to find someone else who actually “did” the poisoning. As I said, Qelba dying was not the plan… even if it can make things easier in the end, if I might be so pragmatic to suggest it.
>Your wife thinks of you as a pawn, threatens to harm or murder you if you "spill the beans".
:BriannahSB: …what? I’m not saying that I’ll murder yah. That would be going straight against everything I’d want… also, I do kind of like yah. But yah must understand that this is something important, no?
:KronosSB: …right… let’s just… drop that…

>Go with the “snuggle on the couch by the fire” idea.

:BriannahSB: *Purr*…

So... The Antidote That you had during her fake poisoning was a nasty surprise for her or was it also planned?

Also, We need to make sure that Our bodyguard doesn't tell this to your father, it may be troublesome.

And, Tell her you are sorry for not trusting in her being able to take care of herself.

Her bodyguard was gonna give her the antidote if Kronos didn't.

>>686076
Tell her you think you're more likely to meet the Old Man if you're present at someone's death. So if she IS planning to kill someone, some prior notice would be nice so you can potentially talk to the Old Man.

Also consider asking what she thinks of abstinence before marriage. Just to see the look on her face. It's a joke of course.

Maybe we should take a more physically active role in in this relationship. Not necessarily anything sexy... Just because she is larger then us doesn't mean we can't give her head a nice lap to lay on. If she is feeling a bit frisky maybe we can propose spending the rest of the night exploring each other's bodies.
