*smug smirk*
I have just committed the ultimate IC-wise bitchslap in my Shinobi-based .hack Clan.
This had gone far enough.
Due to an increasing lag because a certain foolish "sister" of hers kept downloading stupid things on to her work computer, Izayoi had been unable to respond further than making sure the communication link was open and she could hear everything that was going on.
Clayre had been correct and more than within her rights to let loose her retribution and her judgement upon the gathering.
Finally with the last of her lagging irritations vanquished off of her computer, Izayoi went into immediate Nitogeshokage mode and swooped down, in a theoretical fashion, upon her Clan.
'This is ridiculous.'
With a loud cracking sound, her palms struck the table in front of her, the sharp sound echoing through out the room for immediate silence as she raised her head and glared at the collective members in the room, she knew one had left and had made sure he would not leave that hall until she was finished. After all, hidden speakers would carry her voice throughout the entire building. Her eyes were silver in her fury and it looked as if her twin elements were crackling around her as well, one side emitting a rather uneasy looking black and violet aura that pulsated angrily while the other had small and visible bolts of lightning crackling and racing around her body.
"Enough!"
She rose to her full height of five feet eleven and three-quarters of an inch tall and stared furiously at those in the room and directed her fury at the general population first.
"Are we a professional Clan of assassins or are we a collection of mere fools who snap at each other's throats like lowly wild dogs? I expect this irresponsible behavior from the Shadow Legion; not from the people I have selected due to what I believed were talented and were the finest players with potential."
The fury in her eyes remained and tempered from a white-hot fury to an icy one as she narrowed her eyes and directed her first strike at the member not present but still within earshot, especially with her speakers at work.
"Xeon; One will not remove themselves from this room until I have dismissed them. This trangression will be overlooked for this one time, the next I will take you to task. I expect better behavior out of my Reikan and will have no qualms about sharply taking away one's rank and position until they redeem themselves."
Her eyes looked over the rest of them.
"That goes for everyone here."
Izayoi's eyes pinned down the next person she struck out at verbally.
"Trent; I have had enough of this absurd little rivalry and antagonistic attitude you and Raven have shown towards each other. As his superior in rank I expect you to be able to control your temper and act like you deserve your ranking title."
Once again she addressed them all.
"I will not have my Clan attacking and leaping to bite into each other's throats as if we are nothing more than savage beasts. I will dissolve this Clan if this pattern of behavior continues."
The third strike became apparent as she turned her furious eyes to the newest female member.
"Kei; perhaps you had not been present for the lecture I had given your former Clansman Xeon and as such, I shall make this clear immediately. If there are to be assassinations, I shall be the one to give the order to do so. I will not tolerate this Clan being comprised of nothing but bloodthirsty fools, if that is what you look for, then I suggest you find business elsewhere."
Izayoi paused in her tirade to address the one member of her Clan who had not caused any of this ridiculous quibbiling.
"Clayre; you may remove up to 2500GP from the Treasury and spend it as you please as a reward for attempting to install a sense of peace, order and sense into these fools before me. The Nitogeshokage thanks you and your Waves of the two most stable and grounded kind for assistance."
Obviously she had lapsed into the very rare occasion of speaking formally, as if she were being visited by someone rather important and treated them as such.
That soon faded as she turned to the final one and narrowed her eyes once again.
"Raven; I find this agenda of yours and with your alliance with Nexus absolutely petty, childish and utterly ridiculous. As we speak of ego, I find that the men within this Clan, with the exception of our Kaze, who is not among us to see this disgraceful display, are filled with nothing but ego and a ridiculous alpha male complex when it comes to another man."
Her expression was furious and her eyes livid as her frosty tone dropped several degrees in terms of warmth.
"I am not pleased to hear that threat in your tone of deleting one of us. I know not your personal position within CC Corporation itself but I assure you that if you were the one in charge of the Clan, then those threats could be made into reality. If there are issues within my Clan, I will hear from them myself or if they progress into the game itself, then CC Corporation will be informing the Nitogeshokage of these transgressions and insist that she deal with them."
Straightening her back and staring coldly down at those she'd reprimanded, Izayoi spoke once more.
"I am disgusted and disappointed in all but three of my Clan members, one who has not been introduced as of yet, one who was fortunate enough to miss this foolishness and the Reikan no Tsuchi, who saw the fools within you all and attempted to install something akin to common sense into your heads."
The hard silver eyes slightly softened as she looked over at the furious Wavemistress and her voice gentled for a moment.
"Clayre, the next time such foolishness occurs within the Clan and I am either away or experiencing technical difficulties as I had been a few moments ago?"
She glanced stoically at her silent Clan, a cruel and sharp smile on her face as she returned her attention to the small blonde haired spellcaster.
"I give you permission and my own personal blessing to summon one of your Wave Gods to deliver their wrath, yours and my own as judgement upon their heads. Destroy them if that is what it takes to silence their foolishness."
Her expression returned to a frosty and bitter one as she narrowed her eyes at the rest of them.
"As for those of you I've repremanded?"
Izayoi's tone turned sharp and threatening as she swept her hand and arm violently in the direction of the exit.
"Get the hell out of my sight before I decide to slay each and every single one of you for your disgraceful actions and words within this Clan. I do not wish to see your faces until I have quelled the urge to slaughter the current members of this Clan and make it rise up to be reborn for the second time."
When they seemed to just stare at her, Izayoi's hands slammed against the stone table, her elements creating two small fist shaped impressions into the stone, like two stones had been hurled full force into the table, and raised her head to show the violent rage inside her threatening to break free.
"NOW!"
In addition to no one ever seeing the Nitogeshokage completely and utterly pissed off, no one in recorded history had ever heard her scream in fury either. And that was exactly what she had done with that last word; screamed it as loud and as furiously as she had been able to coherantly speak it.
This had gone far enough.
Due to an increasing lag because a certain foolish "sister" of hers kept downloading stupid things on to her work computer, Izayoi had been unable to respond further than making sure the communication link was open and she could hear everything that was going on.
