[NOTE: What battle is this post talking about?] Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 15:30:58 -0400 Subject: [ffml] [MW] A proposition From: tha-doggfatha@juno.com Mog's camp was ecstatic. Moogles were running here and there, preparing for the forthcoming battle. Equipment lay strewn about the floor. Tents were rapidly being folded up. The whole place was in shambles. Shadow surveyed the soon to be epic battle between the two forces in his mind. Had he made the right choice allying himself with Mog? He began to walk toward Mog's quarters. He needed to ask Mog a question. At the entrance, he was met by two guards. They told him he would have to wait, as Mog was attending to other business. They let him into the tent. Shadow casually walked in, and leaned against a post. He would wait. About 10 minutes later, Mog walked in to find Shadow picking his teeth with a shuriken. "Shadow, what are you doing here?" "I want to ask if you need my assistance anymore." "Why? Do you wish to leave?" "No. But, I don't want to hang around as a hindrance." "Hmmm. I've been thinking of something, and you might be the right man for the job." "Interesting. Please elaborate." "Well, while this whole battle rages on at the fortress, Bacca's gonna be running around, doing his little leadership thing." "Yes?" "Well, wouldn't that be the perfect time for an assassination?" "Well..." "Come on! You know it would be!" Mog raises his fists in the air. "Fine. I'll do it." "Excellent." Mog picks up two glasses and pours wine into them. "Let's have a toast, eh?" He gives one to Shadow. "To Bacca's death!" Mog raises his glass in the air. Shadow slowly takes his glass and hits it on Mog's. TING! Mog starts to laugh, evilly. "Bring in the girls!" He yells to a guard near the entrance. "Yes, sir." The guard walks out. "Let's party!" Mog screams. "Party? Hmm...I haven't been to a party in a while..." "Well, it's time for you to refresh your youth!" The girls start to walk in, single file. "Ooh, yeah. Strut your stuff, baby!" Mog tells one of them. Shadow watches as Mog starts to dance with each and every girl. "It's gonna be a long night..."
