Asmo crushed and snapped all their spears and lunged teeth-first at a particularly terrified pony, taking a small chunk out of his shoulder. "Come on, b****, hit me!" ~~~~~~~~~~ "Go into battle expecting to die, and surely you will succeed," Azrael recited. ~~~~~~~~~ Navaja smiled and nodded. "I would love to." ~~~~~~~~ Raven smirked, giving her cheek a small lick. "55 seconds.~"
"It was a code," Azrael clarified, "of the Japonese Samurai. It worked just fine for them." "Anypony up for a Mortal Combat tournament?" Maya asked, after taking a hit from her pipe. "You know, to improve reflexes and stuff."
Selena: Well, ya know, Grand-dad told me if I am to go into battle someday, "Watch yourself, even if the world is behind you, you still need to be careful"
Azrael nodded. "Tis a good philosophy. Of course, everypony has those individuals they know would never stab them in the back." Azrael grabbed himself a large bottle of vodka and took a swig. "Architect, for you, I presume. For me, in a twist, it's the only ponies to ever defeat me."
Selena: One of a few. Although.... (Walks to the door, and yells out "REP, GETOVER HERE PLEASE", before walking back and sitting down) *Shortly afterwards a manifestation of Rep appears in the bar.* Selena: (To RepB, quietly but still loud enough for anyone really listening to hear.) Can you try calling them. *The Bar seems to grow quiet and then go back to normal after she says this.*
*Both RepB and Selena look at him and shush him.* Selena: Granddad never had descendants. Yet I call him granddad, because my ancestor is his mirror being. There is, in theory, a mirror to each of granddad's friends and they are at the same level of power and skill and abilities that granddad's friends are at, if they exist. And if they do, then Rep can call them, and get their help. It is just a theory though. For all we know Granddad is the only one with a mirror being. But even then, if she can show up, my ancestor, it can still help.
"Why do you feel the need to keep this quiet?" Azrael asked. "The end of the world may be hours away. This is no time for..." "I already tried, dude," Maya interrupted.
Dusty continued, "'Go into battle hoping to live, and you will surely die.' This glorified worm stands no chance. Not against the might of Equestria."
Selena: Already, quite a few beings don't like the Council, imagine how they'd react if they learned there might be two. And what do you mean that you've tried to contact them?
Maya shook her head. "No, I mean I already tried telling rep about keeping secrets in times like this."
RepB: In most cases yes. But if we were to tell you everything about us, it puts us AND you in danger. We apologize for keeping secrets but....we do it to protect those we interact with. We don't want our enemies to come after those we help.
"Understand," said Azrael, "If we can survive this snake, there is nearly nothing in this world that can actually pose a threat to us."
In this world yes. But there are others, Selena and I are living proof. (Soundproofs the bar, so only those in the room can hear what he has to say) But we will tell you, that there is a lot more than just theory to this "Mirror Council" that Architect's mirror is on. And we have spoken.
He continued to drink. "That's actually really uplifting," he replied. "Makes me feel more confident."
Blackened noticed that Az was drinking vodka and caught an idea. "Hey Az," he spoke. "Got any strong beverage ideas? I'm thinking about swapping out the Jack for a change."
