OOC: Skaulus has... never seen her before. Not face to face, I don't think. The spiders were mostly isolated in their caves until the Raxes came to power.
IC: Skaulus: "Scorpio! You look injured." More spiders arrive and pick up Scorpio on a stretcher, to take him to a hospital in the surface cities. Skaulus (turns to Scorpia): "So... you must be the King's mother?"
(OOC: Maybe Scorpia recognizes Skalus's face by mixing it up with Speli Vance's. )
-Scorpio wasn't injured per-say, just sore, wearing solid gold armor was kinda getting weary on him anyway...-
-Scorpia looked dazed and looked at the Spider King(?)-
Scorpia: "Wh-who a-are y-you?"
Skaulus: "I am Skaulus Rax, King of the Spider Tribe. I allied with your son, the Scorpion King, a while ago."
Skaulus: "I am Skaulus Rax, King of the Spider Tribe. I allied with your son, the Scorpion King, a while ago."
-Scorpia was still dazed, her confused- “I d-don’t reconigze your name...”
Scorpia: “Why do you have my child in your custody?”
Skaulus: "Your son is now the Scorpion King. I am his ally. Together we lead the Arachnid Alliance. Hrm... would you like to come inside the surface city, Queen Scorpia? It seems your son isn't as injured as we'd thought, and we've already tended to him."

-She'd murred and held her shoulder in some unease-
Scorpia: "I-i n-never knew of this before... i was still keeping many an scorpion under my helm, i'm at least glad my abusive husband is gone..."
-she'd gets up, looking worried somewhat, something tells her he isn't too friendly to Forgotten...-
-speaking of which, many forgotten whom were in that scuffle had fled into the shadows of the canyon environ, although there were at least around six prisoners taken.-

Skaulus: "Because of your relation to King Scorpio, I'm willing to negotiate for the release of these Forgotten. Perhaps the Forgotten and Arachnid Alliance can even come to an understanding." Skaulus strides back into the city, his brown cape billowing in the wind.

-she'd gasped- "And leave my men without a leader?! Dr. Freeman can't lead the entire sect alone! He needs the help of me! And what understanding do you mean?!"

Skaulus: "The Forgotten have been an enemy of the Arachnid Alliance for a long time; perhaps we can finally make peace. After all, the Scorpion Queen having joined the Forgotten is an interesting development."
Skaulus goes into the surface city, and Scorpia is invited in. Skaulus checks on Scorpio. Skaulus: "Scorpio, Scorpio! Can you here me, Your Highness?" If Scorpio is unconscious, Skaulus gives him a concise slap. Skaulus: "Wake up, king!"

-Scorpio yelped, Scorpia gasped- Scorpia: "D-Don't do that to my child!" -she'd growled, returning a slap across Skalus's face and holding her child close-
Scorpio: "P-please m-mommy, i-i c-can't r-rule l-like this! I-i'm being forced into this, i don't want to rule!" -he'd whimpers in her mother's bosom, she'd snarled and looked at Skal with mixed interest and hatred-
Scorpia: "Since when were we enemies in the first place?! and why didn't we get word of your kin's formation any time sooner...?" -she had no idea whom was the murderer of her husband, even if she'd hear the news, she'd be indifferent- (If i haven't explained it already, but uhh,.. still, she is the Forgotten 2ic, thanks to Scrin, just a reminder. )

Skaulus rubs his slapped fang, but stands his ground. Skaulus: "Scorpia, your son ruled the Scorpion Tribe exceptionally well at the end of their war with the Ice Hunters. It was he who led your tribe out of their frozen prison and returned them to their former glory on the surface, while you were toiling with the Forgotten beneath the ruins of your old HQ!" -Skaulus calms down- "I'm sure you had your reasons to stay down there, Scorpia. But your son did a commendable job as a king, like I said, and that's why I allied my tribe with his after I came to power and brought the spiders to the surface; you didn't hear about this beforehand, because the Spiders were somewhat isolationist xenophobes who stayed mostly underground, before my family, House Rax, worked to change that. Scorpio seems to have broken down after I declared war on the Empire of Balance for slaying my Queen wife. Perhaps the poor lad needs a break, but I believe that, with you, Queen Scorpia, leading the Scorpion Tribe, this alliance will remain strong, your son once again won't have to deal with wars and the stress of leadership, and... due to your role, we can establish better relations...with the Forgotten."
Scorpia notices that Skaulus dodged the question about why the Spiders are enemies of the Forgotten. Perhaps it brought up bad memories...

Scorpia notices that Skaulus dodged the question about why the Spiders are enemies of the Forgotten. Perhaps it brought up bad memories...
Scorpio manages to notice it instead-
Scorpio: "I don't know why Spiders are the Forgotten's enemy! Aren't there spiders within their ranks?! I heard of Seris was behind the Forgotten Spider Sect all along!" -how he knew this... may be the lingering shadow of Scrin over him, but this, this concerned Scorpia, although not much-
Scorpia: "I mean, i don't think Scorpio wasn't himself when he was leading! But... something's wrong-..." -she'd then go eerily silent-
-Scorpia then slowly looked behind Skalus, her could see the other form of Scrin behind, him, angrily adjusting his tie, he seemed not too happy about this, his face told it all, and Scorpia looked fairly worried as such-
-However, if Skalus were to turn around, he would just see, ...nothing but a doorway...-

OOC: *Skaulus.
IC: Skaulus looks alarmed after Scorpio's statement. Skaulus: "Wait, you were gone to Crystal Crater to find your mother while that debacle happened. How did you know about Seris??" Skaulus turns to Scorpia: "Anyhow, yes, it is true that my own daughter was a Forgotten spy, for reasons unknown to me. I expect you didn't know this, since Seris told me she'd kept her identity anonymous while working as a spy, going only by the title, "the Benefactor". Wait, what do you mean Scorpio... wasn't himself?" Stannis (appears in the doorway, arms crossed): "We'd theorized before that this Scrin was controlling Scorpio, remember, father? I don't know much about the Forgotten, but a leader who literally mind controls his subjects doesn't seem honorable to me..."

(OOC: It's hard to spell, and i'm prolly gonna break the fourth wall in 3, 2, 1...) Scorpio: "I was in another user's control at that time, mommy! But it still felt like I was still being myself!"
Scorpia: "User? What user? Anyway... I... I actually did know of Seris being an Spy for The Forgotten... This Scrin... is an Enigma and a half... if you want to know more, all i heard from rumors is that..., h-he's not from this world, let alone this theorized universe we live in!"
Scorpio: "Wait, that weird suited stomper scorpion bureaucrat...?"
-As all this was happening, Scrin was watching in disgust in the safety of his powers, the woman she persuaded to be 2nd in command of his mostly "employed" faction was forcibly freeing herself from her pawnship... this does not forbode well for him, if something similar happened with Freeman and the Pheonix, he may not last long in Chima...-

IC: Skaulus: "What?? Scorpio, are you saying some kind of higher being controlled you to make you a competent leader when the Scorpions needed one?"

Return to being the Scorpion Queen, and Scorpio's mother! Don't continue to be a pawn of the Forgotten!"

-Stan and Skaul could feel chills after their voicelines, it reacted well, Scorpia was physically going into pain, holding her head, Scorpio had been out of Scrin's control, and was immune to it, thankfully, but Scorpia struggled and soon screamed in pain, falling to her knees and her side-
-...and soon, the eerie voice of Scrin himself, it could be heard behind the two spiders.... he was physically behind them now, in his other form.-
"...You two... you are nothing to... me... There'll be no peaccccce... between ussss, Mr. Rax... don't make me take Scorpia's life for her betrayal to my... cause... if that's the casssse..., i had promised Scorpia a... punishment... That's why i'm extracting... something for her own... survival..."
Scorpio: "Wh-who's th-that behind you t-two?!" -the young boy squealed, knowing he was harming her mother-

Stannis draws his medieval sword fast, bringing it to the front of Scrin's neck.
Stannis: "Let her go, demon! That's no way to punish a subordinate, even a traitor!"
Skaulus: "Y-YOU! You must be Scrin!"
Skaulus draws his own fire vengious sword, pointing it at Scrin.
Skaulus (takes a few steps back): "The Forgotten leader, right here in one of my cities! First you assassinated my sister," [he says, unaware that it'd been Seris who'd arranged for the Forgotten to destroy her aunt] "then you forced people like Scorpia, Scorpio, and my daughter to work for you! Your manipulation ends here, Scrin! SPIDERS! Arrest this man, and help Queen Scorpia!"
Spiders rush into the room, surrounding Scrin and Stannis with fire chi blasters and laser crossbows pointed at the intruder, but with trembling hands. Spider doctors go to Scorpia and try to figure out what's causing her pain.
Not face to face, I don't think. The spiders were mostly isolated in their caves until the Raxes came to power.
