Lady T, how often do you go talk to your beloved husband when he's seething with rage? I'm going to bet you disturb him as little as possible when he's pissed off. Argent has tried to kill people simply for pissing her off. So that no one wants to go talk to her is exactly what is going to happen. I'm sorry you don't get your little scene, but you made Argent too angry to have it.

Ah, however Cyncat, you forget that there's someone present with absolutely no sense of how to interpret social cues, and who will find this behavior to be fascinating.
... and who also, I might add, is physically equipped to handle being torn to shreds, as I anticipate that may soon become a factor.

For Reference....since for now I'm sticking with similar uniforms...
The guy with the blue diamonds is how Saibot's costume now looks, though the shoulder shield is now gold in color (similar to the original Green Ranger's shield...)
And this is somewhat how Ghost's uniform looks...
Obviously, he's using the green tinted one, but I imagine he'd want a darker green color...

More seriously, it looks very good. I've no idea what sort of costume my character's going to have, come to think of it.

Honestly, Cyn, Tev, you two need to quit the melodrama and angst about who's right and wrong and find a way to deal with it soon OoC and then implement a positive change for it IC so we can move on from this and back to the game.
Yes, Argent should have told Blackheart. She didn't. Tev forgot and thus ruled that Argent 'forgot.' Was this bad form? Possibly. Given all the shit that's happened to the character in the last week it might be plausible to some extent. But as soon as people started poking and proding it would probably be recalled soon enough..
However, your constant 'I'm going to kill you if you lie to me" IC and from what I've heard and seen from IMs concerning your current views and attitude towards both player and character doesn't exactly cast you as the master of maturity and the good guy here.
Both of you are in the wrong to some extent and both need to figure this out.
Edit: To clarify my drug-addled thinking.
Tev: Your character may have the maturity of a six year old at times but she also is not a six year old and needs to start owning up to mistakes. Nothing is going to appease Blackheart at this point even if you fess up. But if you start fessing up when you fuck up it might help because that's the way he operates. People fuck up and make mistakes. But trying to hide them and deny them just compounds the problem and degrades the chain of command and creates more problems later.
Cyn: Your character is not going to get results out of people by subtly threatening to flashfry their brains out if they fuck up. Threatening to kill them and hurt them isn't likely to invoke feelings of trust and comraderie. This may not be important to you or your character, but to most teams it's a key thing. If you can't trust your own people then who do you trust? You need to stop threatening and doing such extremes just to get your point across. If Argent is the lying decietful six year old then Blackheart is the petulant two year old throwing a deadly hissy-fit every time it doesn't go his way. Because right now you're acting like Pres. Bush when he went as far as to say "If you're not with me following my orders then you're the enemy and will be destroyed."
That, as I see it, is what is currently wrong with you two. The characters are too much alike and too at ends and this whole thing needs to be dealt with. I don't like it. The other players don't like it. You guys don't like it. Deal with it.

Blackheart is here. He's trying to get her on the fucking phone to get this shit settled. He went to back with her with the bosses the first time she decided to play "involuntary teleport against orders," despite having two team members decide to impose their own plan after not mentioning a god damn thing during the planning session. I'm doing my part.

Fine, you're doing your part. But I reiterate that threating the lives and health of your people if they don't do your little goose-step parade is NOT INSPIRING TRUST, LOYALTY, COMRADERIE AND GOOD WHOLESOME SUPER HAPPY FAMILY FUN TIME. That's how Blackheart is. We get that. He's dangerous, he's edgy he's the strict father figure who while you're under his house it's his rules.
But duely recall that most of those father figures often find their children abandoning them as soon as they can for those same reasons...
Now you do your part to patch this up and Tev is going to do her and we'll all meet in the middle with some sort of compromise and way to fix this up so we can move on.
Edit: And on that note, my meds are kicking in. I'm going to go lay down for awhile and hope I feel better...
