Right. Okay. We need to get in front of this and make a plan. I'm the one who has to put my neck out there so I'm the one who has to talk about options.
If they've got Tranquility, they're probably using him in their machines as a power source until we get there. Now, if we can forget that this is all Sorrow's fault for a minute here, we've got to come up with a plan and he has some pretty good ones, so- here goes I guess.
First option is do nothing. We sit on our thumbs and probably let Tranquility die, but it means that we won't be handing over their ally and it means that we won't be playing into whatever trap they're setting for us. As much as I don't want to advocate for this one... well, if they're setting a trap and they want me there, I don't like my chances of walking away from it. This is probably the safest option, but- damn.
Second option is to go ahead with the transfer. I go with some of you, we give them Delight, we hope that they don't trap or kill us during the whole ordeal and get three gods for the price of one. I don't like this at all, but this is probably the best way to get Tranquility back safely- if we don't do this one then I can't guarantee that he'll make it out of there.
And the third was presented by Rage herself. If we assume that they're going to trap us, we go there and trap them instead. Rage can disguise herself to look like Delight and we go through with the transfer. They'll be expecting Delight to work with them- I hope- and so we'll launch a surprise attack during the exchange with Rage's help. We take them out, save Tranquility, keep Delight. If they're expecting this then we lose, big time- but if they're not, then we could win out more here than otherwise.
I don't... I don't really like any of these options. There's risking myself and then there's being stupid- but what other option do we have? I'll hear your concerns or alternate ideas if you have them, as well as any volunteers to go with me.
It doesn't need to be said that if we die at the meeting point... well, Hope won't be able to gather our essences or your bodies for a resurrection when it's so deep into the Null territory. For all intents and purposes, a death there would be permanent. Keep that in mind while you make your choice.

[Is all he can really say to that. Fear likes Tranquility, sure, but he also likes not dying- he thought he liked Delight too, before all of this, but again, he prefers not dying. The fact that he's been forcibly roped into the center of this is probably the worst thing that he could imagine, but this guy makes at least some kind of point.]
Delight claims she did this for us. A life in servitude is better than no life at all, according to her- so I doubt she'd help them kill all of us and all of you, but she would throw a pretty significant wrench into our plans.
no subject
So in other words, she's a chicken-shit. She thought you were all going to die anyway, so she threw in with the enemy to save her ass. Slavery isn't a life worth living.
[And uhhhhh time for a subject change!]
A wrench, though, what kinda wrench are we talkin'? You said something about using you guys to power machines, is that what you mean? Because they have that already if you're right.
no subject
[Dryly. He doesn't like the sound of that at all.]
I don't know what it entails or how shitty it is to go through, but I doubt it's entirely pleasant.
no subject
[Speaking of which-]
You guys aren't planning to do this mano-a-mano, right? Like, you're taking a crew with you, aren't you?

[Granted, some of those negotiations are at gunpoint, but you know.]

[He's not even going to question how easy it was to convince Fear, because clearly he's a good negotiator. Duh.]
