MAC ANU ~ GANYMEDE'S MCMANSION

The everpresent afternoon sunset hangs, echoing picturesque across the glass windows apparent at each spot within the large building. In a large room full of tables and what not are heaps of various cuisine settled here or there. Seafood, pastas, drinks, the like; Mediterranean style so if nobody likes that...gomen.

Ganymede has made it clear that he prefers people to be here in order to get themselves together. Sorted, somehow. They're all acting with a sort of independence he seems disinterested in disturbing, but he wants the prospect of potential solutions to be floated along.

If someone has new information they can share, well, it is encouraged. If not, he hopes that they will at least participate in some way.

It now begins.

(( OOC Note: People will not be attacked by monsters once within the McMansion, including pool area. ))

...He didn't have one he could use with us. But he wants to be called Lily.

[That's that, as far as he's concerned.]

Would you still defend Lily when people think he's responsible for the glitches and the level cap gear?

Yes. I knew why he did it.

[Zero hesitation.

His brow creases.]

Not all of the glitches are him. Don't point fingers.

Can you provide evidence for that? As far as I'm aware, the mirrors and the level cap gear were done by the same person and you're admitting that some of the glitches are done by him, which is enough to "point fingers" as you said. Moreover, trying to inspect Lily and the shielded monsters give me the same defense mechanism.

Well?

No. I can't.

[...]

You met him?

I have. You can confirm this with Lily yourself.

Why?

I'll tell you if you can tell us the reason why you defended Lily without evidential basis.

Because I believe him. That's why.

[There's a slight rise in irritation in his voice.]

[ He sure can sense it. And unfortunately, it's not enough of an answer for Hien regarding the trade deal, but it does clue him in that Misteaks probably won't say anything further, like a warning. Hien isn't looking to fight anyone here for once, so he'll leave it be. If anyone else wants to interrogate him, that's on them.

But for Hien? He's out. He will drift along elsewhere. ]

Even knowing he's the one who sent Zelkova to the outer layer?

[Hien out, Sinclair in. He's not looking to start a fight, but everything needs to be answered as clearly as possible]

[Outer layer... does he mean the week where...

Misteak's eyes narrow.]

I don't know what you're talking about. He didn't have anything to do with what happened that week.

Why would Zelkova lie about that?

[There's only one time Zelkova has been completely absent]

[ if you shit on zelkova's truthfulness he will kill someone ]

[He simply shrugs.]

Why would Lily?

Lily has every reason to lie about that to you.

[Like, aren't the reasons obvious?]

No. He doesn't.

[The irritation is becoming something almost visibly hostile now in how Misteaks straightens up.]

If Zelkova thinks Lily did that, and you believe him, then go ahead. But he didn't lie to me.

How do you know?

[Calm. Steady. Unflinching.]

When Mithrun 'died', Zelkova could have interfered and fixed that. Zelkova wont tell us anything he isn't certain of.

I just do.

[It's almost a snarl of a response as the normally stoic Misteaks suddenly takes two broad steps forward and grabs Vogel by the collar with a flare of temper.]

Don't go pointing fingers. It wasn't him.

Ah-

[Putting his hands on Misteak's wrists. His hold is surprisingly firm despite his size relative to Beel. His feet sure are dangling off the floor.]

--let go of me.
