One could hardly do something in secret with hundreds of eyes on the arena below, and perhaps two or three stealing glimpses at the box he inhabited with the self-proclaimed King, Shakhan. However, the moment had finally come. He had waited longer than he'd even originally intended, but when Sigurd's match had gone through uneventfully, he was forced to do things this way. A little sigh of lamentation was given at the idea that the Fatimas were more words than want at getting the throne back, but he could at least present them with the opportunity to redeem themselves.
"Sir.." The quiet tone caused Shakhan to turn with a reproachful look on his face, one quirked brow greeting his guard. He'd been enjoying the match. Too bad he would not see it's conclusion. The faithful guard made his move, snapping a hand out to grip Shakhan's wrist in a move that he had been ordered to learn, indirectly of course, by the very man he was now turning it upon... He smiled quietly, and tugged the man quickly back from the front of the box and into the shadows behind the curtains.
He got his hand up and over Shakhan's mouth, the portlier man over balanced by the backwards motion Tsukai had induced in him. From there it was only a manner of twisting just /so/, reducing airflow but not destroying it entirely, and waiting patiently. It did not take long for Shakhan to slip into unconsciousness - the man was out of shape terribly. The struggle was viscious however, and the sleighter Tsukai had to twist and wriggle agilely to keep his prey still.
Cuffing the pudgy wrists together, Tsukai got shakhan carefully braced up onto his shoulders, and sank further into the shadows.
He knew just the place in the dungeon. The Fatimas had their power back, if they cared to come and take it, but the guard got the impression that it would take a long time for anyone to notice. Just long enough for him to dissapear until his safety in the capitol could be guaranteed.

Forget it. I've been screamed at OOC for introducing this plot, and I suppose I shall just take the entire action back. I'm sorry that life does indeed present tough decisions from time to time. ICly, Tsukai failed his move, and has been placed in jail to await execution. Hopefully he will be, so that way I can wash my hands of this whole hypocritical situation.

Waitaminute... does that mean he's not dead?

By Sigurd OOC on Wednesday, April 11, 2001 - 01:09 am:

Yes Joseph, Shakhan's alive and well and Tsukai's in jail.

And the wonderful clique of anonymous bitchers we have on this MUCK manage to ruin another good plot. Hurrah. *claps nonenthusiastically*

Darnit.

That would've been interesting.
