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? ]

As long as they know what they signed up for, they can't bitch. At least I'm providing a way to minimize the debt and entitlement they may find themselves in.

[atwo]

Don't humans normally find a reason to bitch? Or find something to complain about, along with putting the blame on someone else so they can feel better about themselves.

[unweave]

Guess you're right about that. Think of me as the no-fun police reminding people that this can be avoided if we're smart enough to acknowledge it.

[atwo]

people are going to complain that you're ruining their fun.
i have the feeling that you don't care if they say or think that though.

[unweave]

If they think I'm the fun police, they clearly don't know me or care to.

[atwo]

does that mean you're the opposite and are a fun person?

[unweave]

Is that so hard to believe?

[atwo]

I can't say I've had the 'pleasure' of meeting that side of you, so I won't be able to give a unbiased answer.

[unweave]

C'mon. Just ask around, alright? It's not like I have some stick up my ass.

[atwo]

I ... well, that's an interesting way to phrase it. It isn't like I doubt you, but humans do have personality and feelings that are more complex then mine, so I trust you on your word.

[unweave]

Good. You're learning already about how fucked up we can be.

[atwo]

I've learned quite a bit over the few weeks ... it's frustrating, without a doubt. Makes you interesting at least.

Welcome to humanity — where problems are avoidable 99% of the time.

[atwo]

It's almost like you're all starved to have some sort of problem or drama going on with your lives.

[unweave]

Hey, hey, don't include me with that. I'm absolutely fine staying on my best behavior to get cash.

[atwo]

So you've never been in the middle of some sort of chaos just to get some money?
