Demo looks more troubled than BE!Pietro though.
"Ugh... maybe a strategy isn't going to be enough. We need at least one person who can actually stand somewhat of a chance against her."
He looks at BE!Pietro.
"You've got connections, right? Do you know anyone? You fought her before alongside other people, maybe one of them could help? Who was there when you saved Neuff?"
Argo just glances at the glass of rum.
"... Well, I'm not old pops...", is all he says. He seems to be thinking about whether or not he should try the rum.

"Sees and Jam can match her, she'll never appear if Deut and Ain are present though."
"I think that me and the rest of the Sisters will all go after her to distract her while you do your thing. Combined, we're strong enough."
"How strong are ya, kid ?" she asks the guy on the throne.

Abdul chuckles.
"Woah there pal. Maybe we might want to start off with something a bit weaker. How about some wine? I could find some in my pouch if you want."

"I am quite strong miss,and trust me I am no child." he says as he slumps back and creates a ball out of blood and starts tossing it in the air. "If it makes you feel any better the Navy calls be "The Bloody One" so I think I can handle myself."

What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets, but enough talk have at you!
BE!Pietro raises an eyebrow at Demo.
"Seriously? You loved the plan to take Katre down and the power-removing gauntlet we'd use to do pull it off, now you just wanna throw that out and use brute force instead? The last fight's proof of what happens when you try using brute force on her. Spoiler alert: it didn't work, hence why we fight smart and go with my plan."
He gives Neuff an utterly incredulous look.
"Really? Your plan is just to brute force it and throw every Sister at once at Katre? That's not gonna work nor will it shatter her insufferable pride nearly as much as stripping her of her powers would."
He takes a long swig of rum following that, then shakes his head before looking at Argo.
"Yeah, the hooded guy here has a point. This rum ain't for those who can't hold their liquor."
He glances at Daiyousei.
"You sure about that?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Name's Daiyousei, by the way. 'Big Fairy' and 'Great Fairy' are fine too."

"That's why I said that you'd do your thing while she's distracted, Pietro."
"The bloody one, huh ? I guess you use light to attack people."

Demo looks at BE!Pietro.
"Ah, no, I didn't mean- I meant that this strategy won't be enough without someone powerful. You know, to keep her busy and take her down once that gauntlet's doing its thing. Your plan's fine, it just needs a powerful distraction. Maybe Neuff's sisters could work."
Argo shows BE!Pietro and Abdul an annoyed grin. It looks like he's mistaking their warning for them underestimating him. He gets up and stands in front of Abdul.
"Alright, that's it. Gimme that crap Pietro's drinking. Then I can settle once and for all if this stuff's worth drinking or not."
"Argo, you're underage.", Demo says.
"Only in human age, and I'm not a human. Besides, you're one to talk, you're younger than me."

"Hmm? No no no I don't use light I have been granted the ability of becoming Blood." he says as he casually has his blood ball turn into an blood sword and rests it next to his his throne.
"Even if that was sarcasm I thought it deserved a legit answer."

"In that case... what I'm about to propose will sound crazy, but hear me out," BE!Pietro says to Neuff and Demo. "You know the old saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'? Well... what say we talk to to that fight-happy clown from the Assassins, Hisoka? Katre seems powerful enough that he'd be interested, and I've got a feeling he'd be more than a match for her. Again, I know it sounds crazy, but we should at least give it a shot. Lemme talk to him about it the first chance I get."
He gives Argo a stern look, then lays a hand on his shoulder.
"Son, I'm serious, this stuff might be a bit too strong for you."
He looks at Daiyousei.
"Just call me Pietro."
BRB, dinner.
Divine Burden
She just try to drink all the alcohol before Argo can reach it.
"There."
"Hisoka ? The clown ? I guess he's the creepy kind of clown ?"

"Alright kid, if you say so. Just remember, I'm not licensed, so I can't be blamed for this."
Abdul reaches into his pouch and produces a small glass of rum.
"Here."
He hands it to Argo.
Argo takes the rum... and then Neuff manages to snatch it away and drink it first. He's silent for a few seconds before slowly turning his head to look at Neuff, looking comically dramatic.
"... You win this time...", he says, which makes Demo snicker a bit. He then looks at BE!Pietro.
"I have no idea who this Hisoka is, but if you think he can be of use, I'll trust you."

"Well if you need my help I would be happy to help you sort out your problem!" before he teleports in blood!

Abdul looks over at Neuff.
"So, I hear you're looking for people to help you fight somebody. I might be able to help, for a price."
"From what I know, yeah, Hisoka seems like a pretty creepy dude," BE!Pietro says to Neuff. "But he's a powerful creep who should be able to match Katre blow-for-blow and maybe even get under her skin."
He flashes a smile at Demo.
"Thanks, Demo. Don't worry, you won't regret this."
He looks at them both.
"And I'm sorry I got kinda pissy and thought you two just wanted to beat Katre with brute force alone."
Then he chuckles when Neuff drinks the rum before Argo can.
Divine Burden
"Nah, don't worry."
"What price ? And what make you think that you're up to the challenge like bloody man and the clown ? God, what am I saying..."

Abdul laughs at the suggestion that he would be the one fighting.
"Me? No. I have certain... 'connections'. People, or things, that would be willing to fight something. I don't know the price until we discuss certain details about who you need help fighting."
Demo laughs a little.
"I did kinda make it sound like that was the case, so it's all good."
Argo scratches his head.
"Well, anyway, I think I'm gonna go. I'm still exhausted, so I think I'm gonna sleep for a few days straight."
Demo looks at him.
"Once me and Neuff have seen that movie, I think I'll do the same."
Because I gotta go to sleep soon. I think I'll make one more post before I do.

"Well her name is Katre. Her first power is to create explosions of various size and powers, her second is to be able to harm beings that she should not be able to affect, though only with her body. She has vast strength, speed, durability, reactions and regeneration and could probably smash this town or a moutain if she wanted."
"I'll catch up to ya, luv !" she says, moving in for an embrace

"So, it's settled, then," BE!Pietro says to Demo and Neuff. "First chance I get, I'll see if I can't find Hisoka and convince him to help us bring Katre down. In the unlikely event that he says no, then... I'll see if Thor's not too busy to help."
He raises his mug.
"I know I'm the only one drinking here, but... to Katre getting her long-overdue comeuppance."
He downs the rest of his rum, then sets the mug down.
"Damn, if that isn't good."
"Hmm. I think I can get in touch with someone who could fight this... 'Katre'. Perhaps I could even use this situation to get tie up some loose ends."
Abdul paces back and forth, thinking of something.
"Aha! I have the perfect plan! There's no way Katre will be able to stop him without dying in the process. Listen, there's this thing out in space that's been a pain in my ass for a while, and it is upset. If we can draw it here, it can fight Katre and maybe die in the process."
Divine Burden
She raise her mug.
"Huh, sure, what can it do ?"

She waves it off.
"Yeah. It's nothing too important though..."
