#heroes-of-argum 2 (Unsummons, Failure, and the Demon Lord)

======= Today =======

ratrace (Argum): well folks the day of unsummoning has now come and gone and it looks like

ratrace (Argum): we f****d up

TheOriginalHorseGirl (Argum): We???

ratrace (Argum): you're right just most of us

ratrace (Argum): granted it was a long shot

ratrace (Argum): that everything would be wrapped up nice and neat just like that

ratrace (Argum): but only four people coming to the ritual site is pathetic

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): We already knew it wasn't going to work, so why risk getting caught sneaking out?

shep (Argum): same tbh

ratrace (Argum): oph you literally can turn invisible so i don't wanna hear it from you

ratrace (Argum): more importantly what do we do now

TheOriginalHorseGirl (Argum): That's obvious, isn't it? Blackfire's the one holding us back, so if we just drag him to the ritual site by force...

ratrace (Argum): yeah except he's not the only one holding us back

ratrace (Argum): is he

ratrace (Argum): speak up people come on i promise horse won't beat you up

MoNkEyInArOuNd (Argum): Yeah I kind of want to stay

OLLYOLLYOXENFREE (Argum): THIS WORLD IS LITERALLY A FANTASY LAND. WHY WOULD I WANT TO GO BACK TO EARTH?

TheOriginalHorseGirl (Argum): I don't know, friends, family?? Hello??

OLLYOLLYOXENFREE (Argum): I WOULD TRADE THEM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT FOR MY NEWFOUND GLORIOUS MUSCLES

ratrace (Argum): you don't have muscles olly

ratrace (Argum): you just have a 999 strength stat

OLLYOLLYOXENFREE (Argum): FUNCTIONALLY THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE ALTHOUGH I WILL CONCEDE THE AESTHETICS ARE LACKING

rooster-guy (Argum): the cheats are pretty sweet though.

shep (Argum): speak for yourself. all i got was the power to "dreamwalk."

rooster-guy (Argum): some people would kill to have the power to fall asleep on command, you know.

ratrace (Argum): we're getting off track here

ratrace (Argum): we need to come up with a solution, and fast

MoNkEyInArOuNd (Argum): What's the rush?

ratrace (Argum): you all heard modus

ratrace (Argum): sooner or later the offices are going to step in here

ratrace (Argum): and the way he was talking about them, i don't think anyone wants to meet this “reclaimer”

TheOriginalHorseGirl (Argum): What CAN we do? If we all aren't on board with going home...

OLLYOLLYOXENFREE (Argum): NOT TO MENTION WE HAVE A DESERTER.

shep (Argum): and it's only a matter of time before our respective handlers start putting us on the battlefield

ratrace (Argum): yeah i know it's looking pretty grim right now

ratrace (Argum): so for the first order of business may i suggest we all desert

ratrace (Argum): just get far away from the people that want us to conquer nations and shit

ratrace (Argum): is that fair?

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): We would be fugitives in every country. Nowhere would be safe for us.

rooster-guy (Argum): and people are bound to notice a group of 10+ people, no matter how carefully we try to cover our tracks.

OLLYOLLYOXENFREE (Argum): NO MATTER. WE ARE HEROES! THEY MAY TRY TO SET THEIR ARMIES ON US, BUT WE WILL PREVAIL!

ratrace (Argum): i like the enthusiasm but they're right

ratrace (Argum): i guess we need to be careful how we go about this

ratrace (Argum): and of course the problem of blackfire remains

TheOriginalHorseGirl (Argum): We can just deal with him later, after we get everything else sorted out.

ratrace (Argum): the problem isn't dealing with him, it's what we do if he decides to deal with us

ratrace (Argum): we can't contact him, so he's probably still all-in for this summon war

ratrace (Argum): if his country catches on to our desertion...

ratrace (Argum): well, the best way to capture a hero would be with another hero, right?

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): I would like to submit a proposal.

ratrace (Argum): thank f**k someone else has a plan

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): The Offices intend to meddle on the grounds that our summoning was not intended to deal with a sanctioned threat.

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): However, if such a threat were to appear on this plane, then at the very least it would buy us time to work out a more permanent solution.

ratrace (Argum): you saying we need a demon lord?

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): I am saying we need a demon lord.

OLLYOLLYOXENFREE (Argum): WHERE DOES ONE GET A DEMON LORD?

shep (Argum): idk walmart?

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): That's where I'm drawing a blank. Does anyone have any ideas?

MoNkEyInArOuNd (Argum): What if... WE were the demon lord?

TheOriginalHorseGirl (Argum): I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this.

ratrace (Argum): no i like where this is going

MoNkEyInArOuNd (Argum): We've got our cheats, don't we? If we just get creative, I bet we can put on a convincing enough show, at least for a little while.

MoNkEyInArOuNd (Argum): We'd need some things though.

MoNkEyInArOuNd (Argum): I can shapeshift into a real nasty looking demon, but I'll need an army of mooks...

ratrace (Argum): we can work something out

shep (Argum): how about some spooky omen dreams for all the nations' leaders?

OphiuchusTheSnake (Argum): An invisible spy, gathering intel from right under their noses?

ratrace (Argum): oh man this could actually work
