Lily

"Geez... Telling me of all people to keep my cool.." Lily shook her head ad got u LP to leave, before she left though she made sure to grab the stack of contracts.it would be better if they were stored at the presidential contract and she should hand them over personally.

She decided against flying though as that would probably draw way too much attention to herself, her bright red hair and her aura was already made her stand out, no need to add any more to it.

After a while she found her way to the extravagant looking presidential palace and rang the bell, it certainly didn't match the rest of the architecture she'd seen here and looked like it came from an older time.

Columbia

A young woman wearing a toga opened the door for Lily before she finished walking up the colossal steps. She had brilliant purple eyes that accented her long flowing hair which hung all the way down to her knees. While her figure was obscured by the loose robes, Lily could tell that through her nature as a succubus that she had a supple and athletic figure with a toned butt and a small chest. She practically radiated divine power, linked so closely with Columbia herself.

 The priestess lowered her head a tad, and Lily could feel the woman's interest in her-as the succubus who seemed to have charmed even their goddess, suspicion from her motives regarding her secret dealings with their goddess, as well as her own unadulterated lust. Her eyes quickly ran over Lily's body for a few scant moments which would only be detectable by a trained warrior. "My Goddess has been waiting for you-my name is Mary, Lily. It's good to meet you."

Lily

Lily absentmindedly looked around but didn't really take anything in. The architectural style here wasn't all that interesting to her, and the girl who greeted her while showing some interest in the redhead was for most parts plain and Lily figured out she was overall insignificant.

"It's quite alright too look as much as you want Mary, my kind sustains itself on the desires of others after all... Touching may come with a bit a bit of a fee though...Or so I'd usually say but I am actually in quite a hurry here, I'm carrying some very sensitive documents meant for your Goddess. I have feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other though since I'm the new ambassador."

Mary

Mary smiled, taking Lily by the hand and leading her inside the building. "So it's true? My goddess has been negotiating with your kind?" She asked her-the building radiated divine power, as if she were inside the womb of Columbia herself. It seeped into her pores, filling her with a sense of freedom, as if she could do anything.

After a few steps, she felt a hand suddenly sink into her buttocks. "You may hand me those files-thank you for bringing them to me." Columbia materialized in a flash of golden particles, suddenly standing next to Lily. "Yes, it is true, Mary." She replied for Lily.

Lily

"Mhm hmm.." Lily nodded in agreement and handed the files over "And we're Succubi, I'd hope you can refrain from comments like 'your kind' in the future. Our girls might like sex and act like sex starved sluts, but that doesn't mean they don't have feelings. And we're actually doing you all a favor you know, the talk about us relieving stress isn't just a sex rush, we feed on negativity and cleanse it...."

The redhead spoke with clear conviction even as her butt was being groped by the goddess, which she didn't ignore completely mind you. Lily pushed back against the naughty hand and even leaned forward slightly to really push her ass out. "This welcoming is a but lackluster though, are you trying to downplay my status Columbia?"

Columbia and Mary

Columbia's blond attendant's cheeks flushed-both in embarrassment as well as in arousal at seeing her goddess so brazenly manhandle the succubus. She took a deep breath, falling into Columbia's soft embrace around her mind, drawing upon her faith in her goddess to calm herself.

"I'm sorry-I didn't mean it that way, Miss Lily." She replied. "It wasn't my intent to offend. I guess I have a lot to learn, since we're becoming allies."

Columbia grabbed onto Lily's ass and lifted her up into her arms, carrying her like a princess. "We don't have pomp and ceremony for negotiated meetings here, Lily. We typically wait to host parties for official events."

Lily

"Hey let me down, I'm a warrior not some hapless maiden!" Lily complained as the goddess picked her up in the most embarrassing way.

"And parties you say... Don't be surprised if those devolve into orgies from now one, restraining our aura can be pretty hard when it's for long periods....So are we gonna negotiate Jess or do you have more needs I can take care off?"

Columbia

"But you're so cute when you're up in my arms like this! Isn't this just another part of your job?" Columbia laughed. "I'm sure we'll be able to negotiate just fine, Lily. I'm not a sex-crazed fiend like you."  She lead Lily without any further adu to her shrine, opening the doors with a thought.

Leave us. Columbia ordered her follower with a gentle voice. She nodded, and turned away to leave Columbia to whatever it was planned to be done. It wasn't her job to question her goddess-that fell to other people.

Columbia pulled Lily inside, and the doors instantly slammed shut and latched behind them. The goddess finally let Lily down and leaned back with her arms over her head, stretching her muscles. "So, Lily-to confirm, your advice is strictly confidential? I need you to be able to speak candidly with you, without worrying about whether Elizabeth is listening in and using you to spy on me."

Jiral Outskirts, early morning

At the Northeast boundary of historical Columbian expansionism, where its spirit grew blurry and the roads wider to acccomodate the convoys that once ran the length of the goddess's state, there was a mostly defunct industrial center. The refinaries no longer blew as thickly, the rumble of production distant, and large lots bare entirely of anything but ruins. Before the secession of the Columbian splinters, a great deal of non-human and monstrous humanoids made up the brunt of the manpower. When Jiral wrote its constitution, the acclaim of the workers became an eyesore and a source of enmity. The portion of the local economy they embodied could not endure the conflicts that erupted - too thin at the time, the armed forces could not subjugate these people before the majority found asylum in Halloween Town, and too aggressive to compromise, part of the facilities were themselves demolished by the retaliation of the so-called monsters.

One particular, L-shaped factory had been unused for years, but in a matter of days, new activity had sprung up, and countless sounds could be heard inside. Brass tumbled and clattered, trumpets and keys sang in perfectly calibrated dissonance, and a foundry roared tirelessly. No humans manned these things for now, for they interacted with each other only according to their written directives.

The inner walls had been stripped of metal, exposing the steaming guts of the building, replacing tight and tall corridors with open halls where workstations zealously overlooked one another and instruments dangled from the forest of rafters and support beams above, except where one part of the machines, grown on the old skeleton like fungus over an ancient tree, required the isolation or the security. The first floor had been remodeled as such, and below it that science of an old world never meant to live again stretched like roots, in chambers that could never be mistaken for industry of this age.

In the second floor, which overlay only a part of the factory, there lay new repositories of data, storage units, and experiment benches, each in a room behind a sealed door. At the very depths, what might have once been the heart of administration, he languished, cast dimly from every direction in the brighteness of many monitors and old structural illumination.


Longirsu, the World Orchestrator

"There is no discussion to have", the man said, clicking his tongue at a small speaker on the desk. "My units will be there as battery forces, and you will funnel your contacts to deliver the alloys we discussed."

He did not wait for a response before willing the line to turn off, and swung in his chair towards the streams of information in the monitors. He was impeccably dressed, something between a military official and an engineer, hands wearing gloves highlighted with circuitry, but the pallor of his face and the curly mess of his hair did not speak of any attention to grooming.

When Longirsu reached for the cup on the tray behind him, he found it cold and empty. A sigh escaped.

Galatea

Almost as if on cue, black hands poured hot tea into the cup. There was a sort of harmony in the motion. He was disappointed still that the cup was first empty, and yet it was not the irritation of being without drink either. There was just a mild jolt of dissatisfaction before Galatea worked to fulfill that need. As was expected of her. She rested kettle back onto the try before bowing her head at the much taller man. The first things to come out of her mouth were soothing, gentle chirps and the rustling of leaves and branches in the wind. A common refrain from when her creator was younger, and one of the few sounds that soothed him even if for a tad. Then she gestured towards the monitors.

A map of the Nexus flickered into view with several points of interest marked. "Master Longirsu, the construction of the advanced Terrortech units is still in progress. I have finished utilizing the Lance and Shield to produce the bulk. With those complete, I have isolated several of the notable power signatures within this world. The Jirali statements on the reactor in Columbia should be considered broadly correct. It is a high yield power source more than capable of advancing your interests. The area known as the Citadel contains a controlled magical warp. Comparing it to your simulations on the World Ark, it is most likely a sustained dimensional tear. The other sources seem to be individuals going by their mobility, fluctuations, and relative speed. Utilizing them as raw material would be difficult if they are capable of wielding that power and are not simply containers or generators."

She paused for a moment then as a shambling brass skeleton that looked as if it had been entangled with a pair of cymbals and drums tottered over, handing her a brush. Then Galatea began to run it through Longirsu's long hair, undoing the knots that his neglect caused. "In terms of static resources, supporting Jiral's bid towards Columbia may be the most effective in the long term. Violence is inescapable between these factions, but if Columbia is sufficiently weakened the power plant could be taken. Alternatively, you could create a mechanism to harness the reactor beforehand and have it moved there to immediately make use of it, Master Longirsu."

Longirsu

As it always did, his spine tensed like hot coals had touched it before the resistance gave way to the care of his most advanced creation. Like this, he could easily think of himself in another time and another place, when things were simpler, when the future was bleak but hope yet lived for him.

The reports were more important. Longirsu brought the tea up to his lips and sipped, comforted by the sensation that returned to his cold lips. "If the costs to securing the whole structure outweigh our progress, then the plant is not a priority," he said, droning on monotonously. "There are many unpredictable factors among the population of the Nexus. The margin of error to move on Columbia is large. Keep our disposable production flowing to Jiral and let them paw at each other for now."

Worn eyes scanned the remaining reports that flashed through the display at speeds much higher than human sight could track.

"The Citadel's source seems too stable to have been responsible for our incursion. But I must appraise it myself. If our planet had the World Legacies, this... bizarre confluence of realms and laws must have its own lynchpins." His jaw clenched and his shadowed eyes narrowed. "We must find them, Ib. If I cannot decipher the sacred gears, perhaps another world and its miracles will prove more cooperative."

Lily

Snap.

Her black tail cut through the air with a loud whip like sound as she turned to the Goddess with not just a small amount of apparent irritation.

"Excuse me but I'm practically celibate compared to some of my sisters..." The temperature had flared up for a moment but the heat wave dissipated quickly. "And Liz always listens, except when she's getting dicked hard and that doesn't happen often from what I've heard."

Snap.

"And as her daughter the connection is more solid than for regular Succubi, so the chance is pretty slim."

Galatea

She nodded her head deeply and slowly enough it could be considered a bow, her had tilted down at a sharp angle. "Your will be done, Master Longirsu. But as cursory searches of this world's interconnected database has shown and my power readings indicate, the Citadel is jealously guarded by several squabbling factions. And even if you were to seize control over it... we do not currently have a schematic that could monopolize that degree of energy. Even the Grand Orchestra's mechanisms could not utilize it all, even if it leveled the entire district in its cacophony." Galatea dipped he head again, quicker this time.

"I do not question your wisdom, Master Longirsu. But there do seem to be numerous risks and an inability to capitalize on our gains even if we sought to only examine the heart of this phenomena. Perhaps an individual actor would be more fitting? You could also release the Knightmares... if a greater level of violence is needed to escalate our gains."

Longirsu

An undefinable ache clouded the facets of Longirsu's face when he twisted his neck to glance at his creation. He pondered the innocuous, thoughtful considerations she had proposed like a man walking across the plank sought an escape. Or as a parent sought a lie in a child, only to easily relent.

"The Knightmares will be in standby, for now," he answered.

Swinging back towards the displays, his attention fell from the readings of the permanent sites to the observations on the mobile powersources that Galatea had observed. If Longirsu had something as the rift at the Citadel's core at his disposal, he knew would guard it jealously and zealously, and use it to its utmost. It was foolish to not assume that they had harnessed the energy there to create defenses of proportional threat.

The master of the Terror Orchestra reached for his tea and gulped down several mouthfuls of it. His breath became, momentarily, misty with heat. "I will think of the individual approach. What else were you able to assess of these distinct, mobile power sources?"

Galatea

"Not much can be assessed at this stage, Master Longirsu. Several of these entities make use of what we would identify as mana, but others seem to utilize currently unclassified energies. Further study would be required before total comprehension is achieved." Galatea's eyes open for the first time, a pale blue light filling the room as she does so. "Direct reconnaissance is advised in the current situation. Current resource projections indicate an inability to attain widespread coverage of the area, and this world has not been segregated into the tribes which dominated the previous world. Information will be most efficiently gathered directly."

And yet, despite the seriousness of her tone and their topic, she continued with her brushing. When she was finished, dexterous fingers began to form small braids within his hair. Almost playfully. "The situation within Jiral is currently stable enough that it does not require direct intervention. An aggressive approach for the rest of this world appears necessary."
