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? ]

Comments

[playingfetch]

What can I say, I've got a lot of interests. And you can return the favor if you want! I could give you a good reason or two.

[unweave]

Name them.

[ I'm sorry she's this way... ]

[playingfetch]

The interests or the reasons? Not that it matters much, I guess! If you're interested in getting a little more hands-on with my chest, and the rest of me, I promise I'll show you a good time.

[He's not sorry she is.]

[unweave]

Careful, you'll break my feminine sensibilities at this rate!

Yeah, I'll call your bluff on that, champ. Time and place.

[playingfetch]

No bluff! You get guys backing out that often? I didn't think anyone here would be that stupid.

We could do drinks first. I'd like to hear these stories of yours along with all the rest I'd love to do.

[He does throw out the name of a Wyver bar. It's not an especially good or an especially bad one; it's just the first one he happened to go to, and he's stuck with it since then. Brand loyalty.]

[unweave]

A lot of guys don't have the nerve to even ask. So, step ahead of them already.

Mmm. You gotta find better places to drink, but. Y'know what? Why not. They have good ale at least.

[ #ALE, damn it. She feels all fancy when she drinks it. ]

[playingfetch]

Only place I've ever been! Next time, show me your favorite. I'm still learning my way around here. I don't see myself leaving, though.

[He was destined to be a Wyver boy.]

[unweave]

[ We all are destined to be the cool kids in Wyver. ]

Maybe if you play your cards right, I'll give you the personal Highwind tour.

[playingfetch]

Do I get a clue about how you'd like my cards played? If not, I'll figure it out.

We don't have cards where I come from! I learned about em a few weeks back from a lad here. I'm working on my card games. You do much of that?

[unweave]

Oh gods, first kool aid and now cards? Why are the cultural differences kicking my ass here...

How did I go from hitting on you heavily for a fun time to playing cards, I'll never know.

[playingfetch]

You make it sound like I wouldn't do both! Trust me, I'm interested in any and all time you wanna spend with me. You've got a lot to offer.

[unweave]

Fine, see you then. Try to not bring out the Hawaiian shirts, I wouldn't be able to contain myself.
