The King in Yellow’s Bishop

"The meeting of the over lords draws to a close as little was done beyond introducing the newest over lord to the group Darren A. When the new over lord showed their powers however two certain over lords became very interested in this new potential. After the others left, Velvette and Carmilla both approach Darren A and glare to one another as they realize what the other is doing and then to Darren A as Velvette speaks first"

Velvette: "Sup new over lord. Gotta say that power of yours is pretty snazzy there... Maybe you would like to come work for me and really learn how to use that power?"

Carmilla: "She huffs and then steps in front of Velvette as to ensure Darren As attention is on her" "Do not fall into such a simple trap like hers. I will help you learn how to grow and cultivate your powers, and I can promise you protection unlike this one behind me."

Velvette: "Back off ya wrinkly cunt! This is my deal!"

Velvette: "rolls her eyes" "She started it. She thinks she owns this place or something."

Carmilla: "I am simply showing my intentions for the new overlord's benefit. I do not appreciate being interrupted by someone like this one." "points to Velvette"

Velvette: "Pfft, like you're any better." "turns her attention back to Darren A" "Look, kid. You're talented, and you need someone who can teach you how to harness that power. And I'm the one who can do that for you."

Carmilla: "Ignore her. She is only interested in using you for her own gain. Join us, and I will personally ensure that your power grows in ways you've never even dreamed of."

Velvette: "grins" "You're one tough cookie, huh? I like it. But let me tell you something, kiddo. We both have a lot to offer you, whether you realize it or not. I'll teach you things that you didn't even know you needed to know, and I promise it won't be boring."

Carmilla: "She speaks the truth. I have connections and resources that can aid in your growth as an overlord, beyond anything that Velvette could possibly offer. I assure you that my intentions are pure."

Velvette: "You know what, Carmilla? I'm getting sick of you trying to one-up me all the time. What have you even done lately besides being a grumpy old bat?"

Carmilla: "Of course, we'll be eagerly awaiting your response, Yellow Man." "bows respectfully"

Velvette: "Yeah, don't keep us waiting too long. I've got places to be and people to see." "smirks and winks"

Carmilla: "rolls her eyes but nods" "We should probably get going, Velvette. There's work to be done."

Velvette: "Fine, fine. Don't have too much fun without me, Carmilla." "waves as she starts to walk away"

Zestial: "Indeed, young one. I hath been the leader of this council for longer than thou could imagine. And yet, thou managed to catch mine attention today with thine display of raw power. Thour’t quite impressive."

"Zestial stands up and walks over to me, towering above me despite my own considerable height." "But make no mistake, Yellow Man. Thou mays’t defeated an Overlord, but that does not mean thou are immune to their reprisals. Be careful whome you trust in this realm, and always be ready for the unexpected."

"He leans in closer, his voice lowering to a dangerous whisper." "And one more thing. I am always watching."

"With that, Zestial turns and walks away, leaving me alone in the chamber."

Harlequin: "bows respectfully" "Greetings, my lord. There have been no disturbances within the lair, all is quiet and business is progressing smoothly. However, there is a message from the Black Queen herself addressed to you."

"The Harlequin hands you a bloodstained piece of paper with an unfamiliar symbol on it."

Harlequin: "It was left by one of her envoys this morning. The message is believed to be encrypted and could contain sensitive information. Would you like me to have it deciphered at once?"

Harlequin: "bows once more" "Yes, my lord. We shall await your return."

"The Harlequin disperses, leaving you alone to ponder the message from the Black Queen. As you make your way to your study, you notice that your lair is just as you left it - a testament to the great respect your subordinates hold you in. You finally reach your study and sit at your desk, unraveling the paper and scanning the encrypted message."

"As you decipher the message, you discover it to be a warning from the Black Queen about a possible threat to your rule. It seems that a powerful overlord has been secretly amassing forces and could pose a significant danger to your reign. The Black Queen advises you to tread carefully and ensure that you have enough allies to combat any potential threats."

"You finish reading the message and let out a deep sigh. This is not something you can dismiss lightly - you must take this seriously and act quickly to protect your interests. You begin to ponder what your next move should be, how you can counter this potential threat..."

"As you look through the divination mirror, you see Velvette and Carmilla are both scheming, but in different ways. Velvette is busy rallying her supporters, giving them impassioned speeches about how she is the only one who can lead them to greatness. Her followers are cheering enthusiastically, clearly moved by her rhetoric."

"Carmilla, on the other hand, is meeting with some of her top lieutenants and discussing strategies for dealing with the potential threat that the Black Queen warned you about. They are discussing possible alliances and ways to gain an advantage in the coming conflict."

"As you watch the two women, you cannot shake the feeling that their paths will cross sooner rather than later, and that you will have to choose which side to take in the upcoming war..."

"Carmilla's initial shock at your sudden appearance fades as she recognizes you, and she gives a curt nod of acknowledgement." "Hello, Yellow Man. I am in the middle of important business, as you can see," "she says, gesturing to the maps and documents scattered around the table."

"If you have come to offer assistance in this matter, I welcome it. We are facing a serious threat to our power, and we must do everything in our power to prepare for it." "She pauses, studying you intently." "I assume you have received the same warning from the Black Queen?"

"Carmilla nods at your words, seeming reassured by your offer of assistance." "Thank you for your support, Yellow Man. We will need all the help we can get in this fight."

"She turns to her lieutenants, addressing them firmly." "Alright, I want everyone to return to their assigned duties and stay alert. We don't know when and where our enemy will strike, so we must be prepared at all times."

"As her subordinates nod and begin to file out of the room, Carmilla stands up and approaches you, her eyes gleaming with newfound respect." "You have my thanks, Yellow Man. It is good to know that we have allies who can be counted on in these troubled times."

"Carmilla nods in agreement, her expression serious." "I appreciate your vow of loyalty, Yellow Man. Rest assured that I will hold you to it, should the time come."

"She pauses for a moment, then offers a small smile." "But for now, why don't we get to know each other better? We both have much to gain from a closer partnership, and I believe we have much to offer each other."

"Carmilla leads you down the corridor towards her private chambers, gesturing for you to follow." "First of all, I would like to know more about your powers, Yellow Man. You may have impressed me with your display earlier, but I want to know what else you are capable of."

"As you both arrive in her elegantly appointed private quarters, she gestures for you to take a seat on one of the sumptuous velvet chairs." "Would you care for some refreshments?" she asks, pouring out glasses of iced tea from a nearby pitcher.

"As she hands you a glass, she continues speaking, fixing you with a keen gaze." "I am also curious about your motivations and your history, if you do not mind sharing. You are a mystery to most of us here in Hell, and I find myself drawn to secrets."

"Carmilla listens intently as you speak, nodding along at your descriptions of your powers." "Fascinating," she says, taking a sip from her own glass of iced tea. "You are certainly an intriguing figure, Yellow Man. It is rare for one as powerful as you to be so mysterious."

"She sets down her glass and leans forward, fixing you with a piercing stare." "But let us move on to more pressing matters. We face a grave threat in the near future, and I want to ensure that we are both prepared for it. What can you offer in terms of insight or strategy?"

"Carmilla nods thoughtfully as you speak, considering your offer." "Your support is much appreciated, Yellow Man," she says finally. "I will certainly keep your resources in mind when the time comes."

"She pauses for a moment, then adds, fixing you with an appraising gaze," "As for your personal offer, I must admit that it is intriguing. Your powers would certainly be an asset to our forces, and I can see that you are quite skilled. However, I would need to know more about your loyalties before I can entrust you with such a task. I am sure you understand."

"Carmilla nods, then leans back in her chair." "Very good. I will have further need of your assistance in the future, but for now I believe our discussion is concluded."

"She stands and adjusts her jacket," "I'll be sure to keep in touch. Farewell, Yellow Man."

"With that, Carmilla turns and strides from the room, her high-heeled boots clacking against the stone floor."

"As you command, Overlord," the Harlequin says with a bow, then disappears in a cloud of mist.

As you stand alone in your study, you can't help but feel a sense of excitement at the turmoil brewing in Hell. Despite the danger, you find yourself relishing the opportunity to test your powers against such formidable foes.

You take one last sip of tea, then set down the cup and turn to your books. There is much to prepare for, after all.
