"This place really has that classical feel to it, you know what I mean?" Eris whirled around the dust-choked chamber, sunglasses down and spirits high. "The perfect place to make plans. Reminds me of Konats in the not-so-distant past!" Marrow was stereotypically up against a corner, hoodie, and mask in place as she patiently waited. This was another one of Eris' plots, not hers. It'd ultimately lead to something else Marrow wanted, but showing her hand so soon may lead to Eris pulling it out of her reach. "You know how hard it is to find Majins in this economy? Very! I can't even MAKE one with the poor quality of the ambient magic."
"You haven't secured their help yet." Marrow pointed out calmly. "Otherwise we wouldn't be meeting here." The Shinjin paused, pouting as she adjusted her shades. "True. Didn't need to be so truthful about it. Sending a message to say 'hey let's talk!' across space is hard work, I'll have you know." With the rumors of Namek's ironclad defense having repelled every attack against it before, Eris wanted a little more insurance. It couldn't hurt. If stealing it loud went wrong, Marrow had a back-up plan of stealth.

Thread PL: 40,000 | Items: N/AWith pretty much nothing changing on earth, Moire was only becoming more and more impatient as she continues searching for the perfect start to her plans. Earth itself proved to be far too much for the majin to properly handle even with her allies, and there's far too many risks to take when going to either Plant or Arcose to do her work, which left her options rather limited. As much as she didn't want to return to Namek, it seemed to make for her best option for beginning her assault on the galaxy. Fighters here may be few and far between, but this should be the easiest spot to begin catapulting into retrieving her original power.
Her attack pod soon arrives nearby what appears to be a rundown castle, in shambles from whatever attack was laid against it previously. It's likely stemmed from some of the warrior namekians, though she's heard how many of them had already died out, so it's unlikely she'll find many that are still around. She isn't even sure if the Mazoku even use this place anymore, but clearly it was in use as she could hear voices inside what remains. They didn't sound like anything like the namekians she has seen and met before, so perhaps there are some visitors present as well.
She rounds the corner to what appears to be a mostly intact part of the castle, a chamber that housed what appeared to be a masked individual laying against the corner of the room. Moire, however, didn't pay much attention to her as she was far more concerned with the second person, someone who just so happens to be a shinjin. Her eyes immediately shoot wide open as she enters the room fully and immediately shoots her hand forward, lightning crackling in between her fingertips as she bellows, "You will pay for what your kind has done to me!" her rage towards the shinjin barely controllable as her desire for vengeance overwhelms her.
"You talking to me or the girl over there? Would make sense in either case." Both Shinjin and Saiyan were less popular on the galactic stage. However, Eris waved her hand because their visitor was a MAJIN. "I'll assume you mean me. And that's a fair assumption. A lot of righteous dumb-faced 'gods' have wronged a lot of people. Yours is definitely included. If you hear me out, though, there's a little plan you could partake in, to all our benefit." Marrow had already moved closer to the Majin silently in case Moire actually attacked.
"I wouldn't if I were you." An ink-coated palm would try to clamp down around Moire's right hand, the Saiyan's magic exerting an overwhelming pressure. Unlike a regular grasp, this one wouldn't be so easy for the shape-shifter to simply wiggle free of, a shroud of magic locking the Majin's very body in place. "You seem pretty strong. And willing to resort to violence. You eat people, right? Majins do that, so I've heard. You managed to do it lately, or have you been alone?" Unlike Eris, Marrow would waste no time probing the Majin for potential reasons to join forces. She was eager to get this plan in motion and put it behind her.

Despite Moire's threat towards the shinjin's life, she responds by asking another question, wondering if she were referring to either herself or the other woman in the corner. "You, of course! Do you not know who I am?!" Moire expels, her face contorted with rage. Despite making all of that clear and threatening this shinjin, she attempts to brush it all aside and offer a plan to the majin. Her rage begins to contort into an expression of confusion as to what's happening now. Moire is about to electrocute this shinjiin back to her land, and yet she's going on about deals and whatnot. Does she even know who she is? Perhaps if she did, the shinjin would've attacked the majin by now, so maybe...
The other woman's hand clamps down onto Moire's own hand, her strength seemingly eclipsing the majin's own. She couldn't even pull away from her as she feels rooted in place despite her malleable body normally allowing her to slip away so easily. Moire's attention was, of course, diverted away from the shinjin and now focused on the rainbow-haired woman who's keeping her trapped in place, all the while she begins to interrogate the majin on if and who she's absorbed. "As if any of that would be your business," Moire retorts as she attempts to pull away from the saiyan, only to fail miserably.
Her glance shifts between the two strangers, and it's abundantly clear that she wasn't going to get out of this situation so easily. Perhaps if she were to get them to talk for a bit, she might just be able to find a way to slip away and figure out an alternate strategy to get the shinjin. They seem to be rather interested in Moire specifically, which does beg one particular question... "What do you even want from me?" she asks, her tone far more calm compared to her more bombastic entrance, her fingers slowly losing the lightning that was dancing between them.
"Am I supposed to?" Eris shrugged. "Cause I don't. Sorry if that offends. I'm a bit out of the loop regarding a lot of 'important' godly knowledge, seeing as I haven't swung by our realm in a good few decades at least." Nonplussed by the Majin's aggression, Eris conjured a stool to sit up as Marrow moved to defend her.
"That being said! I'd rather us come to an amicable agreement than turn this into an uneasy alliance type beat." Her smile widened, arms outstretched. "Oh don't be shy! I won't judge. Assuming you do partake in that business as many Majins do, there's a golden opportunity to get your fill in the wings for us."
"Manpower." Marrow deadpanned, eliciting a huff from her Shinjin caretaker. "You don't need to be so crass about it! While technically correct, I prefer to frame it more accurately: a mutually beneficial partnership in the face of heroic adversity. While the chip on that shoulder of yours regarding my species is plain, surely we can set that aside?"
Marrow released her grip, silently moving back to Eris' side. "We came to Namek for a reason. There'll be an attack soon if things go to plan. Disrupt the peace, nick some artifacts. That means the famous defense squad will come to valiantly stop this attack! And when they face far stiffer resistance than they ever expected, the fallen among them will be the perfect fuel for you."

Either this shinjin is from a different section of the land of the kais to not know her, or she's far younger than even Moire. It's more likely that they've never met before, but that doesn't mean that she's been a part of the same part that the majin lived in. On top of that, she apparently hasn't been around in decades, to which Moire couldn't help but blurt out, "Try a century, trapped in a magic sealing container." Even if this shinjin has no ill intent for the majin, the fury that boiled in Moire's body can't be held in place forever.
Her brow would only narrow even more when the shinjin comes up with the idea of forming an alliance, as if Moire would want to be associated with a damn shinjin. She'd be lying dead on the floor right away had it not been for her partner getting in the way, but she'll at least have to hear what the shinjin has to say. "And what kind of manpower could you possibly need of me?" She asks as the partner releases her grasp on the majin's wrist. Moire rubs her hand alongside it, still feeling a lasting pain from the stranger gripping it so tightly. Moire still couldn't sense how strong she was, but given the sting she still feels, it's far stronger than even the majin.
"So you're wanting to use me as a distraction?" Moire replies as she rolls her eyes, "And I get the joke behind the 'defense force.' I've been here before, and it was seemingly deserted of anybody willing to defend this ball of dirt. All I got was an insane namekian looking to eat my head, and that was it." It wouldn't be the worst prospect since the leftovers of a clash would be nice for Moire to pick up, but she's still a bit curious as to her motives. "And what of these artifacts? Why would they be of such importance to you?"
