[WM] Hello, how are you tonight?

Feeling much better.  I am very hungry, though.

Mr. Salacia paid me quite the surprising visit.

[grievousascetic-blog]

Still, I understand how difficult it is for him, and I cannot blame him for his struggles.

[whitemagusblackclock]

Oh? What happened? Did he stand and stare at you again?

[grievousascetic-blog]

No…

He told me he was sorry for not expressing his gratitude often enough - he seemed to think he has been taking my presence for granted.

…Also, he rarely touches me at all unless he expects me to reciprocate, but this was not the case on this occasion.

[whitemagusblackclock]

….What did he do?

[grievousascetic-blog]

Oh, nothing inappropriate.  Just the sort of thing one might do to help another relax.

[grievousascetic-blog]

[WM] Hello, Orlag. Feeling any better today?

[Still lying down.] Yes, just tired.  And how are you?

[grievousascetic-blog]

No.  He just stood over me.

[whitemagusblackclock]

Oy. *facepalm* I better have a word with him.

[grievousascetic-blog]

Go ahead  Just don’t be terribly hard on him.  I am sure he meant me no harm.

[WM] Hello, Orlag. Feeling any better today?

[Still lying down.] Yes, just tired.  And how are you?

[whitemagusblackclock]

I’m fine. Only concerned about you, and a bit about Salacia.

[grievousascetic-blog]

I’ll be just fine, don’t worry.  [Sits up.]  What’s wrong with Mr. Salacia?

[whitemagusblackclock]

He’s worried about you, too. Guess it’s catching.

[grievousascetic-blog]

I see.  I suppose that was why he was in here earlier, staring at me.

[Still lying down.] Yes, just tired.  And how are you?

[grievousascetic-blog]

I could sleep forever.

[grievousascetic-blog]

It sounds risky, and seems to bear a very real possibility of hindering my ability to serve Mr. Salacia.

...Dammit.

[grievousascetic-blog]

[Sips at the water.]  Believe me, nothing you said could have been anywhere near as bad as her presence.

[whitemagusblackclock]

Thanks, I think.

If something like this happens again, don’t hesitate to reach out for help, if you can.

[grievousascetic-blog]

Understood. 

…I was trying my best to fight her off myself.  I did not want anyone to know.  But, it became clear that I couldn’t do that. 

[whitemagusblackclock]

I’d say you did pretty well against a goddess on your own with no prep time. I’ll go further, I’m proud of you for holding out long as you did.

[grievousascetic-blog]

...Thank you.  

Do you think there is any way to get rid of this ability of mine?

[grievousascetic-blog]

[theresa-marius-blog]

No.

I’m hanging on until I can come back, no matter what.

[whitemagusblackclock]

You are not coming back. You are not welcome here. I guard this border, and I say leave. I will not ask nicely again.

[theresa-marius-blog]

I have no reason to listen to you!!!  You are just a human!

[whitemagusblackclock]

“Just” a human? *her aura surges*

“JUST”?

*signals the monks and they lash out at her telepathically*

[theresa-marius-blog]

[She attempts to fight back, underestimating how her displacement has weakened her.  Her presence fades away.]

[whitemagusblackclock]

Yeah, that’s what you get. *brushes off her robe and sniffs* Ratchet-ass ho.

*the monks give her a quizzical look at this last, she just shakes her head, it would take too long to explain, they retreat from Orlag’s mind*

We’re going to need to set wards. Immediamente, if you please. *the monks fan out to begin the necessary rituals*

*Loretta turns to Orlag* We’ve repelled her for the moment. She’ll be back, but we’ll be waiting. Are you all right?

[grievousascetic-blog]

[Rubs his forehead and eyes with both palms.]  Ugh…I suppose.

[whitemagusblackclock]

I’m sorry we didn’t know to do something sooner. I should have been checking up. Would you like some water?

[grievousascetic-blog]

[Nods silently.]

[theresa-marius-blog]

No.

[whitemagusblackclock]

*arranges for the monks to join her, they gather around Orlag on a cot a few hours later* Whatever’s going on in there, we’re going to help you. Just hang tough for a little longer. OK?

[grievousascetic-blog]

[Nods.]

I have been trying to hide this from Mr. Salacia.  I would prefer you not tell him.
