"And you are a fornicating babboon." Cid said to Thid. "You all seem to think your dealing with the same ole Cid." Cid laughed an urbane laugh. "I'm really far to educated and cultured to fit the stereotype I played while among you."

"Or so you think..." Lynx snickered to himself

"The fact that you consider yourself and educated nobleman now doesn't change the fact that that you are still traiterous slime."

She sighed as she got no response at, only getting to sit there and listen to the others now try to verbally attack Cid. There seemed to be no sense in her to keep trying anymore.

Once again she asked herself why in the hell had she let herself get dragged into this. If she had just told Reena that she would rather stay and continue focusing on her studies at the palace instead of coming on this trip. Not that it would have stopped the inevitable with Cid taking over.

I can't just give up like this... But really.. there's no way out of this that I can tell. She shut her eyes tightly, shaking her head a little.

"I know the nations of this world quite well I know their stengths their weaknesses their gross economic product, what the staples of their diet are. The geographic regions of them, and the tenets of their religions. Would you like me to list them in aphabetic order, or by order in land mass?" Cid said mockingly. "You should all be proud to witness the birth of a new power. Your sacrifices, though small will change the very face of the earth."

"While I'm sure that you could list them all, the sound of your voice is almost enough for me to wish this process would go faster, so if you decide to grant us one last request, perhaps it could be to spare us your endless prattling and get your evil ceremony over with." Vace sarcastically said to Cid.

Lynx was about to say something, then stopped. He decided to let Cid think highly of himself, since it will just make it easier for Lynx later.

[OOC] ok, i'm out of this until the new thread is made[OOC]

"So Skurai should I follow the vermins advice?" Cid asked in his ever calm voice a slight hinge of humor in his voice.

"It doesn't really matter to me, my lord."

"Always so serious, Skurai."

"Hey" Taim asked from his side of the room, "can i ask why i'm here? You know, being neither heroic nor incredibly talented. I mean, shapeshifting is pretty common....."
