Mickey coughs theatrically. "'What is your name?'"

“I am the Sword of God. Fire is the vengeance where by the wrong shall be righted and the truth be told,” the man said. His voice was loud and ringing, filled with the confidence of a man who knew what he was saying was right. He didn’t move, but instead just gave Mickey a look with his one eye.

It wasn’t strange to him to see this being. He often saw them. This must be Satan attempting to talk to him through this creature, for God’s creatures were always more aesthetically pleasing.

"What is your quest?" asks the Cat. It's perched, suddenly, on the roof of one of the gate-stiles.

“My quest is to bring the word of God, and to right the wrongs set out upon the Earth.”

"'What is the average w..?'" Mickey frowns down at the notebook. "You know, I don't really see why that's important." He flips a page. "'If you could be granted three wishes, what would they be?'”

"Or," the Cat says, examining its tail with interest, "if you were a genie and someone you were trying to
give three wishes to was trying to trick you into giving him more, what would you say?"

“I would bring the wrath of God upon them, and have their trickery revealed!”

Mickey looks rather nonplused at the next, but reads, "'When the revolution comes, what skills will you be able to barter for food?'"

Abe said nothing, but stared the mouse down. “I have God’s Good Grace looking down upon me,” he said slowly, but powerfully. “I will need to barter nothing!”

The Cat rolls its eyes in a friendly (and rather disconcertingly out-of-sync) way, and asks, "Milk, dark, or white chocolate?"

Abe would have looked confused if God allowed such weak emotions to cross his face! “I know not what you are talking about,” he said.

"'Choose the two coolest: robots, pirates, fairies, bears, ninjas, monkeys, vampires, or humans,'" says Mickey, giggling a bit as he goes through the list. "'Explain.'"

“I shall not answer your foolish questions! God shall shed the light on your foul trickery! You shall not fool me, devil!”

"Great!" Mickey flips through the blank pages of the notebook at top, cartoon-y speed. "Well, I think that's just about it! Oh, and I'm supposed to ask, 'for your safety: are you carrying anything sharp?'"

Abe drew his saber. “I have this sword that God above has blessed, and I shall strike you down with it!”


((XD To be monorailed? I'm not sure if he's going to get especially violent in the app though, so if there's no good reason for Mickey to monorail him, I can just duck him or something right after. XD;

Carrot is a very attentive listener, so he actually is able to make sense of Fay's story, although he still isn't sure what Fay's friend's name is. Fay seems to be consistently calling him Kuro-something, but dwarfs really use endearments like that so he was still a bit confused.

"So this man," he indicates Abe, "asked you a personal question, and this man," he indicates Kurogane, "chose not to answer? Do you have any ideas what specifically provoked him to attack?"

He turns to Kurogane. "Kuro...chii? Do you have anything to add to the story?"

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

"Kurogane," he corrects, but almost absently, because the majority of his attention is torn between making sure the man doesn't try anything again--sword or no, he makes any sudden attacks and he's ending up flat on his back--and... well, Fay. Despite the lack of danger. But until all of this is cleared up, he'll be half-watching his friend all the same.

"I've seen people like him," Kurogane says evenly. "He noticed that we," a glance to Fay, "are... close, and doesn't approve. I don't give a damn if he thinks it's wrong. That's fine, he can think that. But it's none of his business, and the moment he thinks he can draw a sword and strike us down because we're lovers" (he barely notices he said it, plows on anyway because it's said and probably necessary to the testimony anyway, and he's not done) "I am not going to allow that."

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay turns to look at Kurogane. "That's why?" he asks, genuinely baffled. "What's wrong with that? The us being lovers, I mean." His voice doesn't even catch when he says it.

Frowning, Fay leans his head against Kurogane's shoulder. "What's the problem?" he wonders aloud. "I don't understand." With that, he turns his head towards Kurogane, burying his face in his shoulder. It doesn't make any sense.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"It is a sin against God. He has destroyed those who have commited those acts, and he will continue to do so until there are none left."

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay doesn't look up. "Who?" he asks, voice muffled.

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

"Whatever deity he follows." Kurogane's hand rises to Fay's hair, other arm going around him, because Fay sounds honestly bewildered and he really can't help it. He's glaring at Abe again.

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a stupid deity," Fay replies, arms going around Kurogane and shifting position so he can be closer to the ninja. "Probably just jealous."

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

Abe looked full of rage. "When you are buring in Hell, you will regret those words with your entire being!"

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

"Where's Hell?" Fay asks Kurogane, looking at him and not at Abe. "I don't do so well in hot climates..."

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

"It's an afterlife," Kurogane says. "Don't worry about it. It has nothing to do with you." It's not Kurogane's religion and certainly not Fay's, after all. And he's not going to believe tales about an afterlife coming from this madman.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"It's where sinners go when they die to be tortured by Satan. They will feel pain like nothing they have ever felt before, and they will be unable to die."

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

Fay listens to both of them, and of course goes with Kurogane's explanation. "Okay," he says, leaning his head against Kurogane again. "I won't. Sounds like a silly place. What afterlife do you believe in, Kuro-yaki?"

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

"People don't really focus on it." Which is true. In Shinto, the focus is on life, not afterlife. "Some people believe when you die you become an Ujigami, a 'named god.' Some think you're reincarnated." The latter was Buddhism, actually, but the two religions weren't at odds, and could both be practiced at once, so they were a little tangled.

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"It does not matter whether you believe in Hell or not. You'll still be going to it." To Carrot, more enraged than ever at this 'becoming a God' nonsense, he says "Yes! And I would do it again to these filthy sinners! God wants them dead!"

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

Well, that was clear enough. "In that case, Mr. Sword-of-God-san, you are under arrest for attempted assault. Strider?"

He may not have been armed, but he'd need help ensuring he didn't try to escape.

He nodded at Kurogane. "I appreciate your cooperation, Mr. Kurogane. You may take your sword and consider yourself free to go. If I have any more questions, where can I find you?"

[whistlingwizard.livejournal.com]

"The Cat's Eye Cafe in new Orleans Square," Fay answers promptly. "With me. And I told you Sword of God-san started it all. Kuro-sama was just being heroic." He leans up to kiss Kurogane sweetly on the lips and smiles when he pulls away. "Because Kuro is nice like that."

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

"Thank you." Kurogane reclaims Souhi with some relief; he doesn't feel right, being unarmed. When he straightens and Fay kisses him, he turns a bit red, but at least he doesn't explode. He just grumbles and turns away. "Like I should've let him skewer us?"

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

Abe fumed, then ran at them. "You see that? Arrest them, sheriff!" he yelled. Homosexuality was a crime punishable by death, after all.

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

Carrot was a very patient man. "By your own admission, they didn't break any laws. I'm afraid you're the one under arrest."

He turned to Strider. "There's a jail cell in New Orleans Square that will hold him-- it's in an underground cave accessible by boat. I think the mouse is the one in charge here; would you tell him we're holding a man who tried to attack several people?"

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

"What are you talking about?!" Abe snarled. "You saw that! They're breaking a law right this moment!"

[king-longshanks.livejournal.com]

Upon the first moment that Kelsey moved toward the others in aggression, Aragorn abandoned his position beside Carrot and caught the enraged man by one arm. Neatly and without ceremony he twisted one arm and then the other behind his back, effectively immobilizing the man with a firm grip and the weight of his own body.

He cast a weighty look at Carrot and waited while the Captain spoke.

“Very well,” he said, pointedly ignoring Kelsey’s ravings. “If you wouldn’t mind…” A slow incline of the head toward the restrained man

((Um, is that okay? >.<))

[firethevengence.livejournal.com]

((Fine by me. =D))

[mickey-mous.livejournal.com]

Upon hearing that he was needed, Mickey bounded over. "Didja need me for somethin', fellas? Haha!"

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

Carrot saluted when Mickey appeared. "Are you the person in charge here?" he asked. "I need to speak to someone with authority."

It wasn't that Carrot was incapable of taking the lead in a situation like this; in fact it was exactly the opposite. Carrot was all too good at leading, and he knew perfectly well where that might take him. So he made sure never to act in an official capacity without the authority from a higher-up to do so.

[kzadbhat.livejournal.com]

Carrot has heard about enough of this. He isn't quite aware what the implications of Kurogane calling Fay his lover are. He's only vaguely aware such a relationship is possible between two men, so he's assumed Kurogane is referring to a close friendship. That doesn't explain why Abe's God is against their relationship, but that isn't his business.

"Sword of God-san," he says to Abe. "Does this mean you admit you attacked Mr. Kurogane and Mr. Flourite?"
