“look we need someone we can trust with the intel from our networks, the king systematically dismantled them and we both know our information brokers are vital to the kingdom, the rat clan may see opulence and violence, but we know when to stop.”

@Cerebrate  
she seemed slightly stunned by this
 
Youre serious then?

@Jinx  
“the rat clan is short on candidates, Mercurio recently ran afoul of a deer druid and now stands as a tree… yes really. griotte is… well, compared to her you’re an adorable little cuddlepet. i myself am a bit overfocused on killing, if it isn’t rat cypher i can’t even read. and volodar… is busy speaking to the ghosts of the dead. the nightmother herself remains in the shadows and the crown has too much light on it for her.”
 
she twirled her knives.
 
“besides, a King that is not of a clan species would be significantly less suspicious than one that is.”

@Cerebrate  
And what is my part in this? You dont expect me to be queen do you?

@Jinx  
“you probably heard about the king going… let’s say, irrational, these days? the nightmother is sure his time is ending, but the problem is, he has no heir and the greatest chances are with the tiger currently acting as minister, thing is, that one hates the rat clan and cracks down hard on shady business, our business… whatever else happens, someone other than the kitty needs to rule.”

@Cerebrate  
she put what shed taken off back on, then retrieved and cleaned her blades
 
Let us discuss business then.

@Jinx  
“ah, you know how it is, business just piles up these days, even with a few other clans getting in on the murderous game.”

@Cerebrate  
a slight grin crossed her face, her stepping closer and giving a soft hug
 
Zosha, how are you?

@Jinx  
the cowled rat never even flinched, smiling at her sister from another mother.
 
Zosha: “glad to see you keep everything sharp.”

@Cerebrate  
(I meant the blade poked out of the back.)
 
another blade was produced, and promptly stuck just past the head of whoever was speaking, and presumably she had more blades

(that’s a pretty good throwing arm… She is a normal person here, right?)
 
she hears a few slow claps.
 
“not bad not bad, personally I would’ve gone for a less flashy death, like just opening his throat, but at least it was quiet.”

@Cerebrate  
like lightning her blade left its sheath, burying itself into his neck and passing out of the back of his neck, causing his spine to be severed

@Jinx  
he himself was brandishing a Dagger, in his mind probably playing out that he would grab her and put it to her throat until she talked.

@Cerebrate  
once in the room he found that she had “not noticed” him. Taking her shirt off, though on her front this simply exposed a hidden throwing blade

@Coriolanus  
(the implication was supposed to be a spar and Ulf being that opponent…)
 
 
@Jinx  
sure enough the royalist followed.

@Cerebrate  
Just before meeting his demise beneath a killing blow, a clawed gauntlet briskly catches the would-be-regicide’s wielding-hand from behind, then bends their seized arm aside till snapping, forcing Thane’s opponent to yield.

@Cerebrate  
she minded his presence, though kept on, going upstairs and making her way into a nearby room, not the one mentioned

@Jinx  
a Rat cypher telling her a room number, and the location of the spare key.
 
looking around once more she spotted a figure that hadn’t taken his eyes off of her, obviously a royal guard investigator, they stuck out even when dressed normally.

@Cerebrate  
she silently read it, keeping it out of sight of the others

@Jinx  
nothing in sight but the classic greeting of a note magically appearing on her after someone “accidentally” bumped into her. Even when confident they were undisturbed the rat clan generally stuck to their safeties.

@Cerebrate  
she came in, black cloth with a crimson maroon sash across her chest to her hip
 
she took a look around, looking for said contact

@Jinx  
(gladly and for Rat clan that’s not very hard either.)
 
Shyanne, as a hyena was not someone you’d expect to work for the rats, unless you knew what the clan was like, then you’d be more surprised if she wasn’t, she in particular had been called to this unassuming tavern to meet a contact from the shadowmother, a colleague of hers, named Zosha. the best nightblade the clan has had in centuries, they said.
 
 
@Coriolanus  
(to start you off as well.)
 
another breath another clash of blades, another push… another time the wolf prince met the ground. for all the effort put into training the pup up, and for all the skill he clearly had, there was just no substitute for experience, Thane was his name and he was meant to lead the clan and make the clan lead armello, but at the moment, even with a defiant gleam in his eyes it was clear, he wasn’t ready.

(Lets get started.

(alright, I think I have a character for this.)
 
(Will post it when I can)

(i believe i can get you two set up.)
 
(to anyone else, it’s free joining for as long as this thread runs. if one king is dead you just have to go for the next.)
