He will suffer under deception. The same as many others in some small part until he speaks the truth. What harm has he done that we ought to know, not the crimes of his past.
[to jason:]
He is the very same as Absinthe. I will speak to Baritones after this, but they should know what we will learn. What Absinthe has done in his stay here.
I — Cannot undo the harm he has done, but I can bring it to light. To expect anything more is folly.
I do not believe them to be so cruel. If they are, then they will not be so foolish with their reputation.
Their powers are not inhibited by sight. However, it must only effect one at a time from what I have seen. If they are not aware of another, then there is more advantage to our side.

So, as long as I can make him think there's a threat...
[He's still not sure how he feels about poking the bear, so to speak, but he's okay with getting a chance to get under Ardyn's skin. If only he could just punch him in the face, that would be perfect.]
You wanna get him scared, he needs to think it's permanent. Or, there needs to be a real bite to it.
I don't have BAD END's emotional fuckery to even play at anymore, so that's out. Could make a play for killing him and hiding the body past the time limit.
[since he's probably the only person in imeeji for whom death might be an effective initial threat]
Twenty-four hours . . . Yes, that would not keep him from his unit for too long as well. Is there any means to uncover the deception, however? Such as speaking with Lilith?
Lilis' illusion ability could trick him. It messes with the senses. I could make him think what he's seeing is a dead body. I don't think he could talk to Lilith unless he died, right?
Alexander is not to be harmed. He is only the means to place pressure upon Ardyn.
As far as capturing him, one of us can serve as a distraction while the other can use a sleeping potions to subdue him. He will have to be bound by some means to keep him from harming any of us . . . If we even wish to have him conscious at any point.

Re: Day ???
For Alexander, he holds among the deepest feelings.
Re: Day ???
Right. So we how would he fit in to whatever we're doing to frighten Absinthe?
Re: Day ???
More direct form of revenge, huh. More than just stabbing him.
Re: Day ???
. . . It is only for this reason that I give his name.
Re: Day ???
Re: Day ???
Before we even get to that, this's somethin' that's got a high chance of blowing up in our faces.
Pep's only got so much good will, and who knows what future'd think. Same with Lilis.
Absinthe's the kinda guy to keep stuff under the rug. And the other?

Re: Day ???
And if Baritones decides not to care about anything he's done here? We'd have just snatched up one of their own and pissed off another.
[That said, he is definitely on board with making Ardyn suffer because quite frankly - fuck that guy.]
I guess it's still good to know and at least make him feel a fraction of what he's done.
[Even if they aren't killers like him.]
Re: Day ???
Baritones powers are a bitch to deal with. Gonna have to plan for that.

Re: Day ???
Huh. I guess that would be one way to go about it.
[He thinks on it for a moment.]
So we could hide Alexander from him and he wouldn't even know he was there.

What do you want me to make him see?

[he says simply, with a shrug.]
Unless we know the terms, it's a risk.
Re: Day ???
We should not take the risk. It would undercut the purpose of this. Harmed but not dead is a better choice.
