[Video - God filtered to Sebastian, Ciel, and the dark-aligned residents of Star Kingdom]

Alright look, we have been working against each other the entire time... I don't know about you but I am getting tired of working at cross purposes. So, how about this? The hero-types have their own 'cute, little' organizations, why don't we form one?

We could form our own, Dark Society!

This way I won't accidentally interfere in your plots, you won't interfere in mine, quid pro quo.

And certain... dark fairies who keep involving former conspirators in their pathetically aimless plots can be dealt with by the group unless they decide to fall in line.
Come on, what do you say? It's better than ruining each others schemes, isn't it?

Is that right...? I am none too surprised. [ sebastian smirks. ] But I suppose those fools have never heard of the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Logic doesn't dictate their actions, [ a shake of the head. ] ...tsk. I have no objections, but, of course, the decision falls upon my Master. I am but a servant, after all.

Yeah, of course. Go talk to the kid, I'm sure he will see the advantage in this. If he wants to find those people he will have to get them out of the darkness anyway. I'll help him with that where the Mouse would just say it was a bad idea.

It will be nice to have some one of your skills on our team.

I doubt he will decline. I think this to be an easy choice. [ on both our parts. sebastian smiles, humbled. ] ...thank you, [ bows. it's a shame ~~well sort of~~ the other side made such a brash decision. they'd neglected to acknowledge just how strong the other entities would and coule be... one "mistake" and it's come to this. ] I am honored to fight alongside someone as powerful as you, Hades.

What choice is there? If you want there to be any progress you have to get with the winning team, and with the forces of darkness aligned those hero-types wouldn't stand a chance!

We'll crush them and anyone else who gets in our way.

[Like a dark witch who made him see an illusion of his father, yeah, still bitter about that. Why are you STILL involving him in your plots Maleficent? We used to be on the same side!]

[ chuckles. ] True. It's hardly a decision. [ a beat. ] ...a simply response, really.

Mm, and this will shape up to be quite a team. [ it was a mistake on her part. a grave mistake. let's ensure she'll not the opportunity to do it again~. ]

It never hurts to check.

[Somewhat ironically.. Ciel was used to being the one that broke up organizations like this in his own time, but.. given the choices it seemed more prudent to side with Hades than the others. He'd yet to see even a thread of competence between the king's followers, nor had it done him any good to try and work with them. Hades on the other hand... was useful, and aligning with him would in turn also grant him protection from Hades own plots...]

This "Dark Society" as you put it.. would not be public knowledge, I'm assuming? [He still had to dot his i's and cross his t's] I do understand that accidents may happen, identities may be revealed but.. I just don't wish to make a spectacle of myself needlessly.

[Plus, he could still work on getting along better with the masses.... for various reasons]

And.. would there be any additional benefits to this arrangement? for instance.. if I joined, naturally, I wouldn't try to interfere with any of the other members plots... but could we also.. keep a list of individuals that are not in the society that should be safe from harm...? Albeit.. a short list?

Sure, kid, I intend to announce your involvement to the entire Network.

[Sarcasm. ]

Yes, it will be secret. What good is a 'Dark Society' if everyone knows about it? We wouldn't even tell them it existed. Now, if it is found out, there's not much we can do about that... but I doubt these fools would be able to piece that together.

Yeah, you know, a list isn't a bad idea. I have a name I want to put on there myself. Zeus... there is something up with him. He's off limits until I find out what it is.

[A little less sarcasm a little more srs business please? Ciel did manage to keep from expressing his impatience, which was a start]

I sincerely doubt it myself. [~~That they'll be able to piece it together~~]

Zeus? [An unusual choice. Hades didn't seem to have any great love for that particular God in the past.. but fine. Ciel had no reason to be involved with Zeus anyway] Fair enough. I would like Lady Elizabeth Middleford to be included on this list as well.

We can talk about all that when we have our first meeting. I'm sure a few more names would end up on this list too.

Have you decided on a date?

Are you telling me that Maleficent has been a fairy this whole time?!

[Missing the point a little]

I hate fairies!

Hm? Oh, how long have you been standing over there my little ice queen?

[Hades glides over to say hello. ]

Looks like the transfer came out ok, still have all your fingers and toes?
Yeah, she is... Normally I'm not a fan of fairies much either but in her case doubly so. I don't know what happened, one minute we were all working together in one great villain family and the next, she gets a little more power and forgets all about our deal. Well, what are you gonna do, eh? Some people just aren't very trustworthy.

Not long. [She'd seen the little transmission and decided to make a personal visit] How's the turn out so far?

[Let's not bring that up ...... ] A moment later and I might have completed a round trip.. [Like if Undertaker HAD buried the coffin and she HADNT been able to get out.. well suffocation would had led her right back here].. but yeah, nothing's missing. [This is a weird conversation]

We'll make her pay for her betrayal...

.. Speaking of untrustworthy. Are you sure about including those two on the roster? [They burned us before... but Sebastian had spoken to her after her revival.. and .. well.. it just left her confused on the guy ....]

About what you would expect. There are a few surprises though. A couple of people I wasn't expecting to have darkness in them.

[Ha! A round trip! That would have been fun. ]

Better to have them some where we can keep on eye on them isn't it? Besides... I think then they were trying to get in good with the hero-types at the time. Now that they are only that and can see the value of the darkness maybe they will make themselves more useful to us this time.

[So,not very many...] So there's at least some potential.

[NOT FOR ME]

You do have a point. [Friends close, enemies closer that is] We saw how well that worked out for them. If they can see this... there has to be more to them than I gave them credit.

Didn't you try that last time, making your little after-school club?

[Mind you, now that he has no contract with you, he's still here. Keep you villains from hurting his brother.]

With one witch not with a group of like-minded individuals. Besides, recent events being what they are, with former conspirators stabbing you in the back and all...

[He means Maleficent. ]

I felt like we should coordinate our efforts. That way we won't keep getting in each other's way.

Edited 2012-09-23 16:58 (UTC)

I'm listening.

[You need funding? A machine built? Maybe, he'll help.]

Think of it as a loose business arrangement. You need something, the group will help you out, we need something, then you will help us out. It's a win-win situation.

And besides it could always be helpful to keep those important people out of certain situations, am I right?

[Ciel wants a 'do not harm list' and Hades agreed. ]

I agree. As long as you finally realize Maleficent can't be trusted.

Oh...? A "Dark Society"? "Schemes?" Cute.

I suppose I could consider it. After all, I can't say I've quite had the pleasure of being in the "in" crowd, before. I'm curious exactly, what was it was you had in mind.

I mean, aside from the formalities of "don't touch my things, I won't touch yours".

[AKA But really, if I was to agree, what's in it for me?~]

That would depend on what you want wouldn't it? What is the thing you want most in all of these worlds? Help the group and the group will help you achieve that.

Oh and you could put your own name on the list of 'people to leave alone'... if you just want to avoid everyone else's plans.

Ooo. Offering me the keys to the kingdom, are we...?

Hmmm.

Well, since I don't know who I'm dealing with that could be a bit of a two-edged sword. "Trust" is kind of essential to build such an agreement on and while I'm pretty certain I like you, the same can't necessarily be said for others.

Edited 2012-09-23 18:40 (UTC)

Since you don't even know who the others are I can see your point. We'll have a meet and greet later so everyone can get out there, schmooze, and decide on what they would like to see. So, just think it over for now.
