The former seems more likely. Especially now that I know who's been backing him in this little endeavor.

... jog my memory, friend - but did I ever discuss with you my particular circumstances? Or more specifically, who exactly I am bound to work under because of what I am now?
arbitratour: (You've already fallen for me)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-05 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Being under the Cardinal of Wrath, the one I report to is one of Hell's Princes - Amon herself.

[ Granted, it's in this particular incarnation of her that she apparently took a female form - according to rumor, it was more because enemies wouldn't see it coming, apparently. ]

And I have reason to believe that she is the one manipulating my son into trying to ruin all I had worked for in my past life.

She has her reasons to - I'm not very good at causing trouble like she wants, and what better way to get back at me for being a failure of a demon than to tear apart everything I know using someone I would love under normal circumstances against me?

[ ... he needs a longer drink after that confession. ]
arbitratour: (No one is saving you)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-05 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Thus why I'm in such a predicament.

[ Jae downs the rest of the wine, letting out a hum. ]

I'm afraid that the "changes" she wants to force upon me involve either total subservience or death at this rate. And as you can imagine, I'm not terribly fond of either of those choices.

And I'm sure she'd take pleasure in seeing my own son tear me to pieces. It certainly doesn't help that her backing also includes giving him not only a means to gain power, but a means for her to control him.

I can see things ending one of two ways.

[ He holds up a finger. ]

One, they kill me and everything I worked for - allies, friends, my old clan.

Or two, I somehow cut off that source of power, hopefully freeing him from her control and allowing him to be rational enough to actually sit down and listen to reason.

I hope so too. I already may have some idea on how to make it work, it's just of course the timing that plays a bigger role.

And just what my son might do if he figures out who else is here with him.

[ Potential battle strategy wasn't exactly something he thought he'd be talking about while in a luxury resort on Jeju, but here we are. ]
arbitratour: (Is this what you wanted?)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-07 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ pls refill friend, he'll spill the deets once he has more wine ]

We have allies here, but I fear that Amon might've gotten caught up in being brought to Jeju alongside the rest of us.
arbitratour: (And willing to let you blame it on me)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-07 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but one would hope that I would be safe within the confines of my own room.
arbitratour: (I don't want to get lost in his world)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-07 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Though with everyone who may have been brought here, I'd be very surprised if they didn't somehow ward the rooms to make sure such an event doesn't occur.

Still.

I don't mean to instill paranoia in you, of course - I highly doubt she would try anything right away anyway.
arbitratour: (Your powers have grown)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-08 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
One would hope.

[ And some more down the hatch. ]

And trust me, I do not try to go out of my way to enrage everyone I meet, despite what my Cardinal entails. I'm quite pleasant to be around most of the time, as you can tell.
arbitratour: (Until the end of all his days)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-08 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
I would like to think that my self-control is contained enough that my wrath wouldn't explode on someone undeserving.

Never mind that contrary to popular belief, not all of us are all about fire and brimstone.
arbitratour: (And set your guilt free)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-10 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, I'm not nearly as messy as some of my compatriots, even if I'm angry.

[ And another sip. Yeah, he's feeling better already. Thank god for fae wine that actually does something. ]

Oh? If I may, when have you run into demons?
arbitratour: (What have you done?)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-12 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Friend, I'm afraid that would sour the mood too much if I went into gruesome details.

[ That's Jae-being-cordial speech for "please drop it". ]

Understandable, considering your kind aren't fond of the kind of chaos that most demons like to bring about.
arbitratour: (I don't want to get lost in his world)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-14 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods once as he takes a smaller sip than last time, tapping a finger against his chin in thought once the glass is set back down for the moment. ]

Considering the Seelie and Unseelie have been locked in a stalemate for ... well, as long as I can remember, I'll admit, and still beyond that - I can certainly believe that demon interference wouldn't help matters at all.
arbitratour: mistakes again (Never ever gonna make the same)

[personal profile] arbitratour 2018-09-17 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, I would assume that those who would try to interrupt were either brought about by someone else or were trying to get some sort of foothold of their own. I wouldn't have been surprised if that included some from my Cardinal, as well.

Right now, though, I can only plan and strategize to make sure to protect my legacy and to also stop my son from making any more mistakes.
