genessia | 4th Shadow | [Audio/Private Video]

[For a while, Cipher was getting ready to write off the majority of this realm as 'boring' with only a few points of interests here and there. After all, he spent his days doing one of three things: living Liam's life as a con artist, stalking the dark streets of Everglade to feed, or simply resting with his generals in the walls of his subarchway's temple. But it seemed with this latest newspaper, things had potentially started to get interesting. A distorted, echoed chuckle rises from his throat as he begins to speak in his usual distorted, doubled voice.]

And here I had thought this place was becoming dull. Perhaps I must learn to be more patient, as it seems quite a few seeds of chaos have been planted. The Hands of Decay, the Gray Feather Guild, and a risky play by Nova City's Guardian.

[Of course, there was still the unknown factor that is Diablo. But he can't go giving that surprise away, can he?]

I can only hope mortals will not prove themselves again to be disappointing, but such is to be expected of those who believe they carry more power and influence than they really do.

[He seems to hum to himself as he then thinks aloud.]

I do wonder in particular, how long it will be before that guild of halfbreeds is crushed.

[Video; Private to Roman]

[Now this, this is one thing that intrigued him the most. Roman had actually played an interesting card, one that surprised even him. Making use of that new little crystal to be able to make a deal with a Guardian? He had more nerve than Cipher gave him credit for.]

My, my. Getting awfully confident in ourselves now, aren't we?

[He would start the message in audio before the feed would switch on. Seeing that Roman was already aware of Cipher's true nature, there was no need to keep himself hidden in this case. He's simply sitting in the throne within the subarchway's temple, elbow resting on the arm and his chin resting on the back of his hand. One of his generals also happened to be standing nearby, but not paying attention to Cipher's business.]

You've caused quite the stir. I'm sure you are rather pleased with yourself.

[Silence lingers on the other end of the phone as Sakura tries to think of who he means. She has a lot of friends but only one pair come to mind. She isn't sure if he means her two black feathered friends and she suddenly feels nervous mentioning them. What if they get hurt or in trouble because of her?]

I'll find him then and speak to him.

I am sure you will.

[He sounds pretty certain with that. Because he'll be certain to have 'Liam' cross her path again. He lets out a quiet chuckle.]

If you do see him, do tell him that Cipher sent you his way, will you?

[Oh yeah, he's so gonna play up this double personality thing.]

Okay.

[Sakura nods though he can't see it. She simply hopes that she can really do this.]

Thank you for talking to me.

It is always my pleasure, princess.

[Whoopsie, might have slipped a detail he got from his birds there.]

Ah... princess?

[It isn't a well known fact but it is also something that doesn't come up in conversation.]

Forgive me. Is it simply 'deputy'?

[He's casually speaking like it's common knowledge. All while having to keep himself from having an amused tone to his voice.]

Ah, no. You aren't wrong.

[She sounds nervous.]

I just didn't know that its spread around. A few of my friends use it as a nickname of sorts.

Ah. A nickname. Certainly.

[There may be a hint of doubt in that tone. But perhaps he's letting on to too much.]

Yes, Ah, I should be going.

[She suddenly feels nervous.]

Goodbye.

Yes, of course.

[Feeling nervous is probably the right course of action. And he certainly does revel in it.]

I would not wish to keep a deputy from her duties. Farewell.
