Been a little quiet lately. Like the calm before one big shitstorm. With Wyver and Olympia only playing nice in public, anyone who went to the gala can attest there's still bad blood.

Maybe it's pettiness — politicians tend to be like that.

But, I'm not here to recycle the same shit everyone else is saying. So, I'll be blunt: don't get enchanted with either of them. Use 'em like they use their citizens, stay safe and adjust as much as you can — but getting starry-eyed over your new "home" could get you on the wrong side of conflict.

If you're looking to make cash and toe the morally gray line as much as possible, hit me up. I'm the one responsible for wasting parchment paper for all those jobs in the cities.

Name's Aranea. When you're ready to get off your ass and work, I'm always looking for capable hands.

[ The one in which Aranea puts a recruitment text out, I guess? ]

i just want to make clear that i was really drunk when i tried to make you dance at the gala ok THAT DOESNT COUNT

[ but, she is warming up to her, which she hates out of sheer stubbornness alone. ]

[unweave]

Really drunk is how the heart tells you what it really wants. Haven't you heard of all those sappy love confessions that happen in bars?

It's ok.

;) Your secret is safe.

[kissintime]

hey HEY don't you winky face at me!!! i didn't confess shit to you don't make it out to be a big ass deal like that!

[unweave]

Who's making a big deal out of this? You had a good time in my company and you most definitely were fond of me after your little show.

I'm just stating facts.

[kissintime]

The only fact is that you're a HUGE ASSHOLE!

[unweave]

One that's charming enough to win over even my enemies.

[kissintime]

ugh

why do i do this to myself. i can't let you keep owning me like this, it ain't good for my rep.

[unweave]

Why are you so focused on winning and losing? For a chick that did THOSE kind of dance moves without shame, you're sure worried about credibility.

[kissintime]

Winning and losing is the name of the game and the game is also called life.

[unweave]

Not gonna lie, sounds like lyrics to a song, champ.

[kissintime]

it's the lyrics to my life.
if you want some real hits i can drop them but shit like that comes across better spoken from the tongue y'know?

anyway when you come from dirty backgrounds, you got to play dirty, and you play for keeps. know what i mean?

[ she thinks aranea would - she strikes ermes as the type to understand, given her mercenary ways. ]

[unweave]

You'll have to rap at me sometime then, let me know if you're spittin' bullshit or fire.

[ I hate this. ]

There's the thing. At some point, playing dirty just gets you knee deep in mud. I want cash. I want to help people that need it, I guess. But mostly? Cash. Winning can be a hell of a lot more problematic.

[kissintime]

fuck yeah.

im not rolling in it rn i had to spend it to get my business started but i feel ya. but when you got the most cash, you're always the winner.

[unweave]

Oh, you got a business going? I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and thinking it doesn't suck.

Don't disappoint me.

[kissintime]

I won't!

[kissintime]

HEY WAIT no im doing it for you bitch goddammit fuck

[unweave]

LOL!!!

[kissintime]

look what you've done. can't believe i keep fucking playing myself and it's your fault.

[unweave]

It's my charm. I can't even help it at this point.

[kissintime]

i feel bad for anyone you date honestly. they don't know what they signing up for with u.

[unweave]

Why I don't date, honestly.

[kissintime]

really?? damn at least do it for a free dinner with drinks. best reason to date anyone.

[ says the woman who hasn't dated in years - being a felon is hard ok. ]

[unweave]

I wouldn't call that a "date". Date implies feelings and no one has time for that.
