I really don't see what Sarine has to gain by fighting Sara. I mean, bluffing is one thing, but now she's really going for it? Sara better watch her step.

It's about pack order and interrogation.

Sarine is establishing her alpha-bitch status. Elves, like humans, are pack hunters and K-strategists. Sara chose not to leave therefore, pack status needs to be resolved. Meji and Ian were exempt because both were considered pups. Sara is definitely not a pup and she's potentially dangerous, even if not a sexual rival.

In addition, Sarine really needs to see what makes these new Ensigerum tick. There is no better way to do that, with a warrior, than single combat under controlled conditions. Sarine is going to push poor Sara to within an inch of her abilities or until Sara submits to the alpha-bitch.

Yes, Jon is almost certainly in bespelled noddy-land.

Oh yes, the minor detail of the ward that Sarine set up between them, that's the first test.

Note that Sarine already has a clearing selected. She was expecting it to go this way.

I can definently see that now that your post clarifies a bit more what she is trying to do. It is going to be real interesting to see how much of Sara's actions Sarine has anticipated and prepared for. Though there is that possibility that Sarine might still get surprised by one of Sara's moves so we'll see later on this week how it goes. :-D

Hey, the Ensergim isn't picky about back-stabbing! Or at least Sara isn't. First important bit of data for Sarine.

Jon's gonna wake up thinking "i know this headache, i've been elf-raped again, and this time right in front of my sister" :-)

no matter how this turns out, he's going to be somewhat upset!

The ward is the first warning. A pre-selected clearing is the clear second. If Sara is actually thinking right now, she'll wait till the advantages are neutralised, i.e. they are no longer in that area.

Or smarter yet, she finds Jon, and takes him with her, forcing Sarine to play by HER game.

Assassins should know this shit, seriously.

Even without that, the fact that Sarine is running her own selection game on his sister is going to make him go ballistic. His "protect the little sister" program is going to go into overload. This is way worse than Jon getting elf-raped. But then again, maybe it's the same thing and just a different version?

Elf-rape by converting and recruiting his sister or elf-rape by getting fucked and then mind-fucked; what's the difference? Sarine is the alpha-bitch. Look at the way a pride of lions operates, it's the females that actually run things. The males are there to service the females and protect the pride from other males, period. Similar with a wolf pack. The alpha bitch usually calls the important shots.

At the end of this, Jon is going to wake up to an image of Sarine and Sara having settled their issues. At that point, he is going to immediatey realise that he is totally and completely fucked, without a choice. Sarine and Sara cooperating is going to turn his world inside out, sideways, and control all of his available choices. Because he is not going to walk away from Sara, to leave her in Sarine's hands. Then Sarine's going to screw him until his brains leaks out of his ears and he'll be a done-puppy. :wink:

Alpha-male conquered by alpha-bitch.

If she's doing this for real, then she's probably ensured (or will thoroughly ensure) that they won't cause any harm permanent to eachother.

It's incredibly important that Jon will still assist her in the morning. This would be too much of a gamble to lose him in tracking down and dealing with Ian.

Sure this is a difficult situation that needs a solution, but she stands on losing a hard earned asset. Pretty huge gamble still.

Oh well! We get to see kickass Ninja-Fu!!!

The area is thoroughly warded vs. sisters, primarily so Sarine can be certain no Jon X Sara action takes place yet. That only happens MUCH later, while they are trapped in the dungeon of the lesbian wizard with a fetish for cheesy incest manga imported from Tsuiraku.

Indeed.

Also, this thread should've been titled "There's a clearing nearby that'll work great for this", knowing Sarine's typical usage of clearings and all.

Well, you get the first post in next time then and you can go apeshit-bananas creative with the title all you want. :wink:

I don't think Sara was attempting to back-stab her, so much as following Sarine as she instructed. The ward was between them, after all. She'd bump into it either way. It was likely there in case Sara went nuts as soon as the manacles were out.

If she was trying to back-stab her, and thus calling Sarine's bluff, she'd have been in monk-time when she did it, at least. This is more like Sara folding in front of Sarine's bluff and Sarine showing off one of the Aces she had.

Well, seems like Sarine may have come up with a tactic against chrono-frobnicating... Putting up wards where she assumes the enemy will go, and those gotta hurt extra bad when you've been bumping up delta t.

Salamander, you've been at this for at least half a dozen strips. Give it a rest already.

I note that all these machinations would be terminated abruptly if Jon woke up. WHEN Jon wakes up, they will be rendered moot. This is a less than good idea.

Maybe Jon knows about what Sarine's up to? He could have realised after his little chat with Sara that they can reach her if she's a bit rattled. Since he can't bring himself to beat the crap out of her, he could have talked Sarine into doing it.

I thought he already did?

The "super assassin rewarded with magical elven buttsecks" page springs to mind.

I have this charming image of Ellis doing sports-commentary...

Makes me wish I'd asked to see the script for this part when he was working on it last night, instead of worrying about a chipped tooth and our lack of health insurance.

I can't wait.

It'll all be OK once Sara learns some respect for the Alpha.
