[ The feed picks up with a slight buzz of static. The visuals over the network focus on a waist-up shot of Aranea who isn't looking too hot. Not only is her face bruised (healing black eye, slightly swollen nose and busted lip), but there is a bandage pack poking out from under her top. ]

Don't want to waste anyone's time — there's enough stupid messages coming across this every day and I don't want to add to it.

My names Aranea Highwind and I'm recruiting for a mercenary group — odd jobs, monster hunts, personal protection, and the like. I'm willing to give a large cut on jobs I get in, bordering 65%. Tough sons of a bitches please apply and those looking for their problems to be solved? I'm your gal.

[ I mean, even now she's confident with a sly smirk plastered on her face. This is the most blunt ass sales pitch ever? But — ]

You can't trust everyone you meet here, some people will literally stab you. [ She nudges the view to her hip, but rolls her eyes as the camera gets back to her. ] But, there's still people wanting to help out. Why waste your time at that shitty fight club when you can make a difference and get paid for it? Think about it.

I would take on such work.

[ Her injuries don't escape him, but he presumes she has her own business in order. His interest lies only in some other avenue of battle--the fight club is, indeed, barely sufficient.

(Though it's not money he cares about.) ]

I prefer a fight.

[ He frowns a little, unsure how to describe his experience. ]

I was a temple guard in life. After that, I was a lieutenant, then a general. Then ... a guard once more. My name is Koltira Deathweaver.

It is merely a statement of fact.

[ His voice, too, is ominous: ethereal and smooth, but with an otherworldly scratch, as though he's speaking from inside an echo chamber.

He considers the proposal. ]


What does 'drive them away' mean? Fear only?

[ NO MURDER? ]
respired: why don't you mind your own business (listen to the distance between us)

[ Sounds like murder enough for him. ]

I will take on this task. My gratitude for the information.
