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.

Truer words, pal. I try and keep the statistics of being shot at as low as possible.

[beatupgrass]

See, I'd appreciate it if I could stick to just being shot at, but people around here? They gotta get more creative with all these archaic weapons. A guy threw an axe at me the other day.

[unweave]

Gotta admit, there's nothing cooler than a good axe throw.

You ever think of finding ways not to be shot at?

[beatupgrass]

You mean by gettin' an honest job?

[unweave]

LOL. No. By making friends with the right people or staying 2 steps ahead of the ones doing the shooting.

[beatupgrass]

That sounds like way less fun and a lot more work.

Being shot at it reminds you you're alive.

[unweave]

I don't need bullets to remember why I'm alive, pal. There's a lot more vices for that.

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, yeah. Most human vices just ain't that interestin' for me.

[unweave]

Gambling? Fighting? Drinking?

Nothing?

[beatupgrass]

Okay, fine. You picked the three that ain't part of "most."

[unweave]

So my unwarranted advice?

Trade bullets for poker chips, punches, and a cold one.

[beatupgrass]

I will take that under advisement, but the results are gonna end in bullets either way. I am not known for my precious disposition.

[unweave]

Maybe you should find yourself in like-minded company.

[beatupgrass]

You mean like you?

[unweave]

Well, I'm not the WORST company you could have.
