>>5183276>but I'll probably need to put this to an official vote Fair enough! Although it's a shame that innocent people went through this, I personally don't care to admonish Ari on the morals involved. I just wanted Irue to have an answer in case she tried it and got shut down again.
>Sorry again for the delays!It's fine! We decided it was fine unanimously! I will accept any and all in thread pacing issues if it has any potential to lift the curse of biannual threads.
>>5183386>Task Ari with rooting out the missing agentReach an understanding that she isn't to coat the house in poop or burn it down to find him, we need this place intact. We could also sleep with Ari and let her be the web that finds him if she has no luck. Don't tell her this though, no reason to give her an incentive to fail.
>Confront your uncle immediately. No one touched your family. No one.Running us through the turn Clara into a tree plan is a good place to start, from there we can move onto general artemis (how long has he been working with them? who else does he know to be working with them?), prophet, Caylen and nymph's wood stuff. He will also tell us what he was planning on doing with us since we know he's the one who called us over on false pretences.
Other things we can ask him about are the old east heaven lady, the Valen money books we read, what he's been doing with the house while he's been in charge, his beef with the royal family (is this how artemis seduced him?), what he knows about the foreigners that occupy Rinnier's shithole country... Am I missing anything?
If he resists I trust Irue can be suitably intimidating with Lily and the cool claw hand. We can restrain him, have Lily hold his hand perfectly still and cut a small tip off his finger. Threaten to implant him with NW and cut small coin sized pieces of him away starting with his fingers and toes and continuing until he's a amalgamation of flesh chunks held together with bark, in undying agony forever. As another anon said, turnaround is fair play!
>Bring Rinnier into this. She and you are the largest influences in Ari's life, may as well keep it that way.Not to pass moral judgement on Ari, but because Rinnier's input is valuable. She has more experience, a wider perspective and a cooler head than we do. I must admit to being curious of her opinion, Rinnier has surprised me before with an unexpectedly practical and cold take. I am worried about Ari though, I think we should talk with her about her life before meeting us some time this evening. We should also write to Dullem and the Shrine/Mim to appraise them before we go to sleep (just a basic outline to maintain good relations, not a tell all.)
>>5183955I second this sentiment, this fucker committed a knowing and premeditated betrayal, one he could very well have repeated with us. I don't want him on our side, the best he can hope for at this point is a clean death after telling us everything he knows.
