Ryuk's introduction to Lord Mada


#1

Doors where nothing to Ryuk’s pet doomwurm, any door locked from him was simply removed from existence. Slamming into Lord Mada’s Office, staring through his death’s head helm, he stares down “Lord” mada.

Curtly Ryuk states “You’ve had a few years to turn this into Southern Kasanth, why the abject failure.”


#2

Lord Mada looked up at his rude, uninvited “guest” who had burst in unannounced. “I don’t know who you are, or why you think you belong here, but you are mistaken.” The Master Shadowmancer said coolly, standing up next to his desk to meet Ryuk’s gaze (that is, if Lord Mada’s eyes were visible). “This colony is under Kasanthian rule, and I am its ruler. If you’ve nothing important to say, then I suggest you leave now, before you tread further on my bad side.” As he speaks, the shadows in the room slowly grow and darken, and swirl around their master.


#3

I can play with shadows too, if you want to try that game. Is that the kind of pissing contest you want to play?

Shadows coalesce around Ryuk’s frame, further darkening the room.

This isn’t a colony, this is a small town you have taken over due to it the environment pretty much killing anything else around it. I will admit it is a nice summer house, but Its still a pint size compared to the rest of the land that is available here. You should’ve been able to control most of the coast by now, and introduced the local population into true faith, that of kasanth. We are the children to be tortured, where are the new nightmare slave production areas.

These . Things . Should . have . been . done . by . now . Ryuk states slapping his fist into his hand for emphasis.

I’m here to determine why you haven’t been doing your duty to spread kasanth, and rectify the situation before other, more important kasanthains decided to become interested.


#4

Lord Mada scoffed. “You still haven’t told me who you are or why I should care.”


#5

Introduction? I shouldn’t need an intro . . . wait, we’re not in space.

I’m Leftenent Ryuk, although you’ll probably know me for my Casino, Ryuk’s Casino.

Why should you care? I don’t care if you care who I am, I don’t care about that. It really doesn’t matter to me. What does matter is if you are willing to rectify past mistakes and work with me to establish the Southern Kasanth.


#6

“Never heard of it.”

After a moment, Lord Mada sighed and shook his head. “What ‘mistakes’ do you think I’ve made, and how would you propose we go about fixing it?” he said, resisting the urge to kill this fool on the spot.


#7

“You seem to be out of date then. Currently I’m in the top 5 best places to vacation for kasantians. Working on getting to slot number 1”

“I never said you made mistakes, I was bouncing around between lazy, stupid and or unambitious. All of which, if true, are fixable”

"Now for expanding the area of south kasanth, that I’m here to help with. First we need to get people to go and visit some of the vampyre tribes, we can introduce them to our culture and simultaneously gather them in south kasanth. There has to be an exchange, and for here I think we should show them how to enslave nightmares via the nightmare collars. The vampyres would get free food, we both would get labor, and we would get them to join us in south kasanth.

That should be the first step"

Ryuk pulled from his clock two silver looking chalices and an bottle of binberry[sp?] wine.

“After that, we can start working on the non vampyre tribes. There would probably need for some reason, perhaps we can slightly encourage church of one to attack them and have the vampyre tribes step in as protectors. But that is a concern for later on, We should start with the vampyres and related tribes”

Ryuk pours wine into both chalices and offers one to Mada


#8

Mada looked at the drink for a moment, then cautiously took it from Ryuk. “I never had any intention of turning the goblin lands into Southern Kasanth. I only came here to stir up trouble for the Church of One, and cause a little mayhem here and there. Plus, I have a nice new Summer home.” Lord Mada pours the drink into the abyss of his hood and hands the cup back to Ryuk. “However, since Bartsport is now a Kasanthian Colony, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to spread its borders a bit.”

“Since you seem hellbent on this no matter what I say, I would start with the vampyres on the island of Mag Buskt. I’ve had contact with them and have already tried teaching them new methods of… feeding. Prolonging the torture, that is.”

Lord Mada pauses for a moment and considers his options. “If I decide to work with you I have some conditions that you must abide by.”


#9

Ah, now we’re negotiating! Lets hear it.


#10

“First of all, No beasts in my manor. It’s hard enough to keep this place looking respectable when I have several clumsy nightmares in power armor waddling about.”

“Second, You fix my front door. I was a nice door and I don’t want the radiation getting in. Honestly, if you’re so intent on spreading the will of Kasanth, you should show its Ambassador a great deal more respect.”

“Third, No harm is to come to any of the allies I’ve made here in the Goblin Lands.”

“Finally, I reserve the right to add other conditions, no matter how ridiculous.”


#11

Sparcs isn’t a beast, He’s a doomwurm. He would speak up, but he is a bit young and a bit shy.

looks back at the door, downs his whole drink

Yeah, I tend to make an entrance. I can clean up the mess this time.

I’m not going to stop to find out if someone is your friend before I do something, They’re your allies not mine. I won’t go out of my way to find or interact with them, but if they come after me or start making a nuisance of themselves, then I won’t hesitate. Just like if your business affects my allies, I won’t hold it against you for taking action.

I also expect that our business ventures together are separate from other ventures we may have. One day we can be enemies helping our allies, if it comes to that, but if we have a meeting the next day about this venture then the focus is on that, and not whether we were trying to kill each other the day before.

Feel free to come to me with a proposition at any time, I will listen to what you say before I decide whether or not to follow it.


#12

“Then we have our arrangement for the time being?” Asked Lord Mada.


#13

For now, it does seem like we have an agreement.

One last thing, I was planning on producing an income down here. I want to build a casino and all the fun things that go along with that. Normally I would just find a place and steal that building, but I can respect wanting to keep your summer house nice. Got an area and facilities where I can start building?


#14

A comm crystal to Lord Mada started blinking, with a call from Ryuk. When he picks up, he hears a voice.

“Your securities crap, you need to improve it”
