I OOC do not shit over you, Vholdran's words (and actions now) are his IC behavior and reaction to growing tension between Atroxica and Methu. Methu can be asshole and cocky goat but he is<em>right</em>. Methu is rude in subtle or openly manner because he can, as all others are either his equals or below him (reverence is given only to superior). Having 'respect' to fellow demon lord is luxury which other demon lord decides to give and Methu is stingy on that part (he decides when being respectful). A servant of more powerful demon lord is given reverence, where as from equal their not worth a shit (and from demon lord below you; less than shit).<br/><br/>Methu is upset because he views a inferior to him (your follower) talked to him too casual manner and mildly rude manner (to him anyways). However after the apology you continued give insults and your servants (Forbidden One and others) continued talk to him without permission. After the apology, Atroxica should had either dismissed her servants or told them shut up and just be silent and she talk to Methu directly (or others for that matter). But Atroxica IC gets upset from ridiculing or talking rudely to her servants which leads her growing hostile to person doing so.<br/><br/>So I feel this snowballed the issue and made it grow and so I offer solution by Vholdran how matter is settled; Atroxica apologies faux pas done by her servants and administers punishment on them by her own hand (and that should satisfy Methu's attitude down seeing Atroxica can control her followers and able punish them when their out of line).<br/><br/>In abyss social etiquette and expected hospitalities and rules of such are very brutal. It all depends on temperament of demon lord how much they press on said etiquette or demand for it. Vholdran for reason used term 'peasant' for good reason; if prince of demons is 'king' then demon lords are dukes, barons, marquis etc all depending on their individual power and influence. All non-demon lords are peasants under nobility.<br/><br/>The status quo is quite forced upon; a peasant from another lord's lands do not mouth off to other lord without getting punished for it. Despite said peasant has favored status with other lord and unless said lord's protection (or retribution) is not scary enough, other lord can ignore any such protection. It sounds very unfair but Abyss is far from fair.<br/><br/>Anyways<strong>PaleEnchantress</strong>, go take deep breath and away from keyboard for while to calm down. Your getting upset from IC events from a game; OOC I have nothing against you :). If you feel Atroxica is upset then write it (but do not feel it), however Atroxica's actions have consequences which trigger actions from my char which has his own beliefs and principles.
