*Husam jogs to catch up with the guards he’s been sharing a room with as they head towards the Meeting Room. Tefibi cocks their head in confusion while Nen gives Husam a disapproving look.*

Wait, you're coming too? Are you sure?

Trying to fight with a broken hand ain't exactly a good idea.

*Husam growls and snaps at them, not liking how they’re judging him.*

I 𓆑𓅲𓎢𓈎𓇋𓈖𓎼 know that. 

*His voice gets a little less harsh as he continues, he understands why they’d be concerned,*

But I ain't gonna just sit on ma 𓄿𓋴𓋴 and do nothin'. There's gotta be some’in I can help with that ain't on the front lines, directin' troops or running' messages or some 𓋴𓉔𓇋𓏏 like that.

*Nen sighs but nods and the group make their way into the room. At the back of the room Faiza is already waiting for the meeting to start, the tip of her tail twitching nervously.*

Everyone enters a long, thin meeting room, with multiple people already inside and crowded around the end of a table with a massive map of all of Egypt.

B-Bastet? Wh-

Isaac quickly interrupts, knowing where this is going. ...Um... we can get to that in a minute. First-

We have bad news... and worse news?

”Gladly.”

He steps aside a little to let her, offering the dagger back. Fukayna is then forced to the stage floor, Quibilah tugging at his roots and dragging him downwards. She then starts taking out a switchblade, and begins to cut slowly from one end of his hair to another.

"No- No! Stop it- my HAIR!"

As if it's not only getting worse from here.

[pharaoh-friend]

Depravity goes both ways it seems.

Kyle doesn’t cheer, he tries his best to keep a neutral face.

He’s a third party here, he shouldn’t react.

Nevertheless his eyes slowly scan over the crowd, seeing all the faces of excitement before focusing back on the stage.

The things he’s done are unforgivable, yes, but a call for execution before proper answers to his actions by his own lips….before certainty that all that are working under him are free. Before knowing who he is outside of this place. How he even got here in the first place. Before even a possibility of a confession….

Let the players have their fun. You mustn’t interfere.

Fukayna is still vehemently trying to get them to stop and think about this more. Sweat condenses on his forehead. Edward has a face that somewhat mirrors Kyle- unsure, but willing to give the people what they want. Meanwhile, Quibilah is sneaking up behind Fukayna with a hand outstretched to grab and pin that massive, poofy hair of his.

[pharaoh-friend]

Yeah, far too easy ta get trapped and massacred in those tunnels. But how ta lure him and his cronies out…

*Husam finally takes a seat, eye scanning the map, as he tries to think of any ideas.*

-@prideful-khopesh

Seems we're all in agreement about that, at least.

I don't- I don't know if we have time to invade all of the sites.

We don't.

"Fukayna's not falling for a fake surrender. He is prideful, but not stupid."

No- but- that idea wasn't bad, there- what if we do go for him? On the note of the commanders... Surely the one we captured has to know where he stays!

Jitterbug snaps, trying to remember the name of them.

The- the red guy that hates bees, y'know?

[pharaoh-friend]

“…. so this is it then? This is how we’re deciding how it all ends?”

— @a-lonely-cadaver

It is. It's the very end.

Edward looks overwhelmed by all the suggestions at once- and also the fact that Bastet is one of the ones saying them. Elephant: Address me.

Well- oh, yea, this is good news! We're fairly sure we have all of the sites mapped out correctly. A lot of our freedmen came together to make the chart you see now.

"I'm not sure if we want to use that. If we go underground, into his base, isn't he more likely to be able to block us in and kill us that way?"

Jitterbug nods, agreeing with his wife like always.

We need to drag him to our turf instead.

"...I thought it was a good idea," Quibilah whispers, wringing her hands together nervously under the table.

”Don’t be! I should probably get back to where I’m staying anyways.”

"A..Alright, then..."

Quibilah leaves.

[pharaoh-friend]

”Oh- okay!”

"Y..Yeah... sorry."
