Donnaroa: Apologize
Donna: *Sneaks up to Azaroa's door and hesitates before knocking a few times.*
Donna: Uh... Miss Azaroa? You in?
Azaroa: Uuuuugh
Azaroa: Yes, dear
Azaroa: *Azaroa scrambles for another bottle*
Donna: *Lets herself in.*
Donna: Hope I didn't wake you from... Actually, you elves don't sleep, do you.
Azaroa: No, we don't, demon.
Azaroa: Do you need something?
Donna: I think "devil" is more appropriate, but I digr-
Donna: *Looks around to the empty bottles.*
Azaroa: Would you like something to drink?
Azaroa: *Sloppily pours Donna a glass, spilling a lot*
Donna: I think I could go for a glass. Or twelve, in your case.
Donna: *Takes the glass and downs it immediately.*
Donna: So right, as I was saying.
Azaroa: Haaaaah
Azaroa: I wouldn't recommend thaaaat
Azaroa: It's the good stuff
Donna: Oh please. Pour me another glass.
Donna: As I was SAYING. I think I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier.
Donna: It was... Unworthy.
Donna: I definitely should have presented myself a bit better in the home of my client.
Azaroa: *pours another glass, missing a little*
Azaroa: You truly should have!
Azaroa: I also have
Azaroa: Quesstions
Donna: I'm sure you do. I've tried to make myself something of an enigma since meeting you but honestly, I'm sick of it.
Donna: I'll tell you what I can, I guess.
Azaroa: You haven't had much business with me. You let that slip when you mentioned a job withh a nun.
Azaroa: Who are you?
Donna: Hehehe. I, Madame Azaroa, am the Donna Diavolo! Boss of the Vortice Syndicate, feared the world over!
Donna: Buuuuut it wasn't always that way.
Azaroa: *rolls sense motive or something??*
Azaroa: Riiiight
Donna: Until recently, I was just li'l old Opal Eleodora. Some underling with a mouth that got away from her more often than not.
Azaroa: What happened to the previous Donna?
Azaroa: You business has been around a lot longer than, "Recently"
Donna: You have been doing business with the Donna Incantevole, my... "mother," in a sense? "Patron" is probably the more appropriate term.
Donna: *Sighs*
Azaroa: Awwwwww
Azaroa: You're sad now
Azaroa: that meaanss
Donna: ... That means?
Azaroa: *pours another glass, despite Opal not finishing the one before*
Donna: *Finishes the previous glass quickly before the other glass had the chance to slide over to her*
Donna: She was old, older than you are now, I'm sure.
Donna: And she was human! Never saw anything like it.
Azaroa: What a compliment
Donna: But she wasn't immortal, even though the "Donna Immortale" was another common name for her.
Azaroa: So how'd you kill her?
Donna: Duel.
Azaroa: *laughs*
Donna: I'm serious!
Donna: No sneaking. No tricks.
Azaroa: I wasn't se-ri-ous
Donna: Well you were right on the money. She challenged me to succeed her. And I had to put her down.
Donna: Not that she made it easy.
Azaroa: How did you win?
Azaroa: Did your flaming partner help?
Donna: He did, we were allowed a partner.
Donna: Of course, she decided to go solo.
Azaroa: And he was useful?
Azaroa: That's new
Donna: He kept me alive, if that's what you're asking. You've seen him - he's no good in a fight.
Donna: To no one's surprise, if it weren't for some quick thinking, luck, and a loose floorboard... Well, I certainly wouldn't be here drinking some mild-ass alcohol.
Donna: *Finishes her next glass.*
Azaroa: You're not getting any more then.
Azaroa: *starts drinking straight from the decanter*
Donna: Oh come ooooon, Miss Azaroa.
Donna: My liver is almost literally made of leather, I need a bit more.
Azaroa: Whaaaat you say it's just miiiild
Azaroa: No good for someone of your tastes
Azaroa: I mean if you want some come get iiiiiiit
Donna: *Gets up and approaches Azaroa.*
Donna: I know we haven't known each other long, but this is seriously surprising.
Azaroa: *Wobbles out of her chair in an attempt to play keep away*
Azaroa: After being with you people?
Azaroa: Of course I'm going to drink
Donna: Still.
Donna: I knew about you from Incantevole. You were one of her favorite clients.
Azaroa: I'm everyone's favorite, dear
Donna: And so HUMBLE!
Donna: *Helps herself to another glass.*
Donna: She was a fan of your plays.
Azaroa: Don't spill it!
Donna: If I don't, you will.
Azaroa: *Does not see the irony in this at all*
Azaroa: I've never spilt a drop I didn't want to spill
Donna: Honestly, I could have sworn this rug was white when I walked in.
Azaroa: With all of those eyes and you still need glasses?
Azaroa: Ooh!!
Azaroa: *Stumbles over to her liquor chest and rummages about*
Azaroa: Here we are!
Donna: ?
Azaroa: Drink this, Opaaaaaal~!
Donna: Just. Donna's fine. What is it?
Azaroa: It's gnomish
Azaroa: It's... scary strong
Donna: Oh, so it's a stout drink?
Donna: *Snorts at own joke.*
Azaroa: *It's a distilled cocktail similar to what the party encountered on the edge of Ravaella's forest home.*
Donna: Dont' mind if I do!
Donna: *Takes a sip, perfect.*
Donna: Awww yeah. This is just right.
Azaroa: Don't hog iiiiit!
Donna: Anyway, yeah. Please don't call me anything except my title. I need to... grow into this.
Donna: I've been an underling so long, authority is... New.
Azaroa: I can tell
Azaroa: You've been under my toe from day one
Donna: Hah hah.
Azaroa: It's good you didn't try to muscle in
Donna: Don't get too comfortable.
Donna: I'm a quick learner.
Azaroa: I'll fell you in one strike.
Azaroa: Uh
Donna: One day that overconfidence will be your downfall.
Donna: Seen it once, seen it four times.
Donna: *Points to her set of eyes and laughs. Then takes another drink.*
Donna: Anyway. Enough about boring me.
Donna: What about you?
Donna: I may be new to this, but I know leadership is a heavy burden. You've been at it for a while.
Donna: Logic dictates....
Azaroa: Hmmmm?
Azaroa: What about me?
Azaroa: I've had to assume leadership since birth.
Donna: Right right, the rebel princess.
Donna: Yet here you are, with your own tiny kingdom to worry about.
Azaroa: I'm not quite rebelling, dear
Azaroa: I gave up the lifestyle of my clan
Azaroa: I still care about my family.
Azaroa: It may have caused some... tensions with Stahl
Donna: *Takes another drink.*
Azaroa: But that's his problem
Donna: It's STELLE.
Donna: *snorts.*
Azaroa: Hahahahahaha
Azaroa: Yes yes, Stelle
Donna: My question is, why do people even care.
Azaroa: Him
Donna: He didn't seem like hot shit.
Azaroa: About him?
Azaroa: Oh that is a... long story
Azaroa: I don't get it myself.
Azaroa: Lershe, the big piggy guy
Donna: I know of him.
Azaroa: For some reason he decided to fall in love with that ball of death
Azaroa: I doooon't understand!
Azaroa: ANd now I'm sure he blames me
Azaroa: Let him
Donna: Sounds looooong and cooooomplicated and I stopped caring five minutes before I asked about him.
Azaroa: Saaaaame
Azaroa: It's not worth it now
Azaroa: I could just
Azaroa: Remove memories of him from Lershe's brain part
Azaroa: But
Azaroa: That's horrible!!!!!!
Donna: That is, in fact, horrible.
Azaroa: Could do it though
Azaroa: Solve
Azaroa: A lot
Azaroa: Of problemmmmmmms
Azaroa: Hey you're hogging the bottle again!!!!
Donna: Trust me, I am the first to advocate for mental reprogramming.
Azaroa: *stumbles toward Donna trying to get the bottle of gnomish liquor*
Donna: Nooo stop you have your own.
Azaroa: That's literally mine!!!!
Azaroa: THeif!
Donna: Shhhh I will accept this bottle in lieu of a portion of my payche-
Donna: Well...
Donna: Hmm.
Azaroa: You joined us!!!
Azaroa: You sought our help
Azaroa: Actually
Azaroa: No
Azaroa: Nnnno
Azaroa: Now you have to pay me
Donna: Noooo.
Donna: *Sneaks another glass in.*
Azaroa: Yup
Azaroa: Tax
Azaroa: Eye Tax
Azaroa: Each eye more than two
Donna: I call bullshit!
Azaroa: 2 frog coins
Azaroa: Too late it's law
Donna: Two frog what???
Azaroa: Frog coins
Donna: What in every hell does that mean?
Azaroa: There's this
Azaroa: Frog guy
Azaroa: That sells things
Azaroa: for frog coins
Donna: That's stupid.
Donna: I've learned not to trust amphibians.
Azaroa: You look like one
Azaroa: *snorts*
Donna: Rude!!!
Donna: Rude!!
Donna: I'm clearly a lizard. Thing.
Azaroa: Haaaaahahaha
Donna: I think?
Donna: Fuck I don't even know what I am.
Azaroa: Weird
Azaroa: You are a theif
Donna: I was way too young when I came around... here.
Azaroa: ANd a business woman
Donna: I'll take it!
Azaroa: And you have friends with fire guys
Donna: Pffhahaha. Oh Conny, what a guy.
Azaroa: How's youse twos kid doing?
Donna: We're doing. Something.
Donna: He's fine, I'm sure.
Azaroa: I can't believe you fucked a fire guy
Donna: Excuse you???
Azaroa: I guess he is pretty hot
Azaroa: *laughs*
Donna: Oooooh gods.
Donna: Okay let's get this sworted out. Conny's just a guy. That I have know forever.
Azaroa: THen who's your baby daddy?
Donna: Oh just a guy in our syndicate. We went on jobs together and shit.
Donna: *Sips drink.*
Donna: He's dead now. Whoops.
Donna: As far as guys go, he was alright. Just got a bit cocky and he ended up paying for it. Thems the breaks.
Donna: The kid's doing fine, though.
Azaroa: Did you kill him too?
Donna: Phhhtbh nah.
Donna: He just died on a job.
Azaroa: Shiiiiit
Azaroa: I bet you cried like a bbaaabby!
Donna: *Puts on an almost comically stern look.*
Donna: I never cry.
Donna: *Pauses before breaking into laughter.*
Azaroa: You have so many eyes!!
Azaroa: I bet you cry even more than the rest of us
Donna: Oh, gods it's a mess! I need to keep Conny close to evaporate all the shit that comes out.
Azaroa: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhhh
Azaroa: *snorts*
Donna: Holy shit that's adorable.
Azaroa: Nah you are you
Azaroa: Biiiiinch
Donna: Shut your fuckin' mouth, Boss.
Azaroa: You probably have like, at least, like, two mouths
Azaroa: So shut yours first
Donna: Uh. No second mouth as far as I can see but I've got this.
Donna: *Sticks out tongue to reveal that it's a foot long. Then slurps it back up.
Donna: Great at partpies.
Donna: Urp. Parties.
Azaroa: *stares*
Azaroa: Yep
Azaroa: I'm sure you are
Donna: Hey, I am a DELIGHT.
Azaroa: More like a de-lightweight
Azaroa: *conjures the sound of an airhorn*
Donna: What the shit???
Azaroa: Hahahahaha
Azaroa: Bard-powers
Donna: And plus, it took your best gnome booze to get me a little tipsy.
Donna: It took you... Actually how long have you been drinking???
Azaroa: *looks at all the bottles that are empty*
Azaroa: It's been, like, five minutes and you're preeeeetty out of it
Donna: Shh.
Azaroa: Donna De-lightweight
Azaroa: New name
Azaroa: It's the law
Donna: Shhhhh. No. Sh.
Donna: I am the law. Especially since I've got actual lawmakers under my thumb.
Azaroa: No you shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhshh
Donna: I'll make you illegall.
Azaroa: No you shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsh
Donna: You already said that, you. Uh.
Azaroa: Wait wait wait
Azaroa: Wait
Azaroa: Why are you here again??
Donna: ... To apologize?
Donna: For acting like a rookie?
Azaroa: Right!
Azaroa: Anything else?
Donna: Uh. Thank you for the booze?
Azaroa: Seeems like you have a habit of sleeping with your squadmates and getting them killed
Donna: One time.
Donna: And I didn't have anything to do with his death.
Azaroa: Heard you couldn't get anything up while you were with the dragon ladyy
Donna: You heard what now???
Donna: Wee Jas's tits, that girl is a blabbermouth.
Azaroa: Heeeehehahahahh
Donna: When did she tell you? That happened like... a little while ago.
Azaroa: She like
Azaroa: J US T left
Donna: No shit really.
Donna: I didn't see her.
Donna: *Shrugs.*
Donna: But yeah, the thought of your disapproving glare ruined the mood. Thanks for that, "Miss Azaroa."
Azaroa: Glad I have that much influence over the two of you
Azaroa: We can't
Azaroa: We caaan't have people just sleeping around all
Azaroa: willy nilly
Donna: Heheh.
Donna: "Willy nilly."
Azaroa: Even though no willys have been involved?
Donna: ...
Donna: Wait.
Azaroa: Yet
Donna: Er. Nah.
Donna: I've come to the conclusion that it just.
Donna: Well
Donna: Isn't as good.
Azaroa: I can't allow it, it leads to risky behavior.
Azaroa: I mean, look at Lershe
Donna: Oh no shit.
Donna: Lershe slept with Stelle? I can't even imagine.
Azaroa: Ravaella too died while trying to look cool
Azaroa: Hehehhahahahhhahhhaaaah
Azaroa: Naaaah, I screamed
Azaroa: And startled them before they could kiss
Azaroa: Then Stelle
Azaroa: That happened
Donna: You... Screamed?
Donna: Now that's just rude.
Azaroa: Would you not too?
Azaroa: Someone who smells like dead bodies and tried to bleed out your S IS T E R
Azaroa: About to kiss
Azaroa: Well
Azaroa: Lershe
Donna: Hahah.
Donna: Sounds like a riot.
Azaroa: Almost was one
Donna: I would have liked to meet this Stelle guy. If only to break his nose myself.
Azaroa: If I have anything to say about it, you will.
Donna: Or I don't know. Maybe I could have knocked some sense into him, prevented him from doing... Whatever he did.
Azaroa: Breaking his nose would be best
Azaroa: But
Azaroa: Yes
Donna: It's the weirdest thing. Besides you, my dossiers were missing a lot of information on the rest of the group.
Azaroa: They're nobodies
Donna: Clearly.
Donna: But even the lowest street urchin has a trail.
Azaroa: Faren is a barbarian, Ravaella and Demetria literally live in the woods
Azaroa: Lershe is a monk
Azaroa: He doesn't even know his trail
Donna: No shit.
Azaroa: Stelle is a death cleric that never left his cloister
Azaroa: This is the start of their trail
Azaroa: Mine has begun long ago
Donna: Once again, no shit. It's just... weird.
Azaroa: Corellon must not have planned too much backstory
Azaroa: *snorts*
Donna: I don't like being left in the dark. This group is frustrating. Generally our people know everything about everyone before we even meet.
Azaroa: Maybe your people are losing their touch
Azaroa: Could be their new leeeeader
Donna: Oh, shut your mouth.
Donna: Besides, I don't even take part in the information department. Nerds like Conny take care of that.
Donna: Now, everything just gets funneled through me whether or not I want it to.
Donna: Blehhhhh this is boring. I don't wanna talk about work I wanna drink some more.
Azaroa: Fine
Azaroa: *goes back to her chest and pulls out some more liquor*
Donna: *Gasps.*
Donna: It's beautiful.
Azaroa: It suuuure is!
Azaroa: This stuff
Azaroa: This is from a drow distillery
Azaroa: They have nothing better to do in the dark
Azaroa: So they love to drink!
Azaroa: *pours two more glasses*
Donna: Wait a minute what the hell do the drow even make booze out of?
Donna: Lichen???
Donna: Do they squeeze cave frocks for their natural jucies or what???
Azaroa: Mhm!
Donna: That sounds terrible.
Donna: Pour me a glass.
Donna: Oh wait.
Donna: Heh.
Donna: *Takes a gulp.*
Azaroa: Haaaahahahaha
Donna: That IS terrible.
Donna: ...
Azaroa: You can't even couuunt
Donna: ...
Azaroa: It IS
Donna: *finishes it off.*
Azaroa: But it's strong
Donna: Hell yeah it is. Why wouldn't it be?
Donna: Boring-ass cave people don't have anything better to do.
Azaroa: The nastier the ingredients, the better it messes with youuu!
Donna: Back where I'm from, humans actually lived in caves like the Drow do.
Azaroa: Probably for the best
Azaroa: Humans
Azaroa: Hahahahahhhh
Donna: It was the weirdest thing coming here and seeing these weird things just walking out in the middle of the day.
Donna: *Sips.*
Donna: Still is.
Donna: Elves were still everywhere though.
Donna: Still thought they were better than everyone else.
Azaroa: Of course we were! And we still are!
Donna: But angels and demons and devils walked around like regular people where I'm from, so they were... Uh.
Donna: Corrected.
Donna: Pretty harshly.
Azaroa: Ah well
Azaroa: Another world
Donna: Heh...
Donna: Yup.
Azaroa: Can you say I'm not the best creature you've seen here?
Azaroa: *laughs*
Donna: Weeeeeeell.
Donna: You're definitely not a bad looker, if that's what you're asking.
Donna: Honestly, did you go out of your way to gather as many attractive people as you can?
Donna: Even Lershe is handsome, if a bit scruffy...
Azaroa: We picked you up, didn't we?
Azaroa: *cackles*
Donna: Miss Azaroa, I cannot believe you! *Snorts*
Azaroa: Hahahahahahahaaahaahhaaaaaa
Azaroa: But yes, what corellon forgot in their trail, they made up for in "tail"
Azaroa: I don't even know if that makes seense!
Donna: Hey. I'm very sensitive about my tail!
Donna: *Swishes it around for effect.*
Azaroa: You use that at parties too?
Donna: Nah. A tail doesn't do much besides be a neat looking arm.
Azaroa: Wow
Azaroa: How come your creator lets you have three arms?
Donna: I won the genetics lottery, what can I say?
Azaroa: But
Azaroa: You're not an elf?
Azaroa: So???
Donna: I'm a Tiefling. We're better by far, Miss Azaroa.
Donna: Or is it Missus? I'm sure you've had soooo many suitors in the past, a pretty thing like you.
Donna: Plus you've got to be... what, a billion?
Azaroa: How are you better?
Azaroa: You like
Azaroa: Die
Azaroa: Immeeeeediately
Donna: Naaaaah.
Donna: Look at me! I've got beautiful-ass horns, beautiful-ass eyes (times two), and a beautiful-ass... ass.
Donna: *Snorts and takes another drink.*
Azaroa: I can drink to the last one
Azaroa: *slurps*
Donna: Flatterer. I'm sure you say that to every pretty devil that comes your way.
Azaroa: Never said you were pretty
Azaroa: *laughs*
Donna: I am SO pretty.
Azaroa: I am toooooo!
Azaroa: We're so pretty
Donna: What the fuck.
Donna: We're too pretty.
Donna: It's unfair to everyone else.
Azaroa: We're both so pretty
Donna: Faren's super pretty too, fuck.
Azaroa: Yeah she is
Donna: Can't believe I missed her by like a minute. We could all be drinking out heart out right now.
Donna: I can't believe I missed her by a minute. We could all be drinking our hearts out righ tnow.
Azaroa: We soooo could be!
Azaroa: I mean, she was drinking too
Azaroa: But ehhh
Azaroa: Fareeeeen!!!!
Donna: Ssshshshshhhhh
Donna: Everyone's sleeping you dummy.
Azaroa: Not Demetria
Azaroa: She never sleeps
Azaroa: Neither do I
Donna: You elves are WEIRD.
Donna: Sleeping is the best.
Donna: Like
Donna: the BEST....
Donna: I haven't had a good dream since becoming Donna, though...
Donna: Maybe I can retire early and make my snot-nosed brat the Don.
Azaroa: Do it
Azaroa: Working is laaaame
Donna: It IS!
Donna: Uuuuugh but he's only thirteen. That's like... the worst age to put anyone in charge of anything.
Azaroa: Kingdoms have done it before
Azaroa: ANd they're still around
Donna: I don't want my famiglia run into the fucking ground.
Azaroa: Maybe?
Donna: Honestly!
Donna: My kid is a nightmare.
Azaroa: Tch
Azaroa: Better than no kids!
Donna: You want mine?
Donna: Naaaah I kid. I love that piece of shit.
Donna: Despite the fact that I was definitely a brunette before I had him.
Azaroa: ha ha gray hair donna
Donna: So no kids? You want some?
Donna: I'm sure you could go to like.
Azaroa: Yeah...
Donna: Wow that sure is a thousand yard stare.
Donna: Been trying for long?
Azaroa: Not... in a while
Donna: Aww.
Donna: That's sad. More booze will do you goo... ze. No that was terrible.
Azaroa: *snatches the bottle and drinks straight from it for a solid ten seconds*
Donna: ...
Donna: *Doesn't say shit because that's just impressive.*
Donna: Ya good? I think you lost a few of your hundred years on these bottles.
Azaroa: *SLAMS the bottle on her desk*
Donna: Seriously, aren't elves supposed to be lithe and frail or whatever?
Azaroa: I've had more.
Donna: Damn.
Azaroa: I've had more.
Donna: Well don't overdo it.
Azaroa: I've lived with gnomes for Corellon's sake
Azaroa: Mostly of what they do is drinking
Azaroa: And sex
Donna: Eurgh.
Donna: Drunk sex is only good in moderation.
Azaroa: You've never been with gnomes.
Azaroa: They're... creative
Donna: I can imagine.
Donna: ...
Donna: ...
Donna: Actually, no I can't.
Azaroa: Those minds are responsible for the best inventions in Famia
Azaroa: They can think of anything
Donna: Why don't we get the gnomes to kill the Master? Make it a lot easier for us.
Azaroa: Eh, just because you're creative doesn't mean you aren't lazy
Donna: Telllll me about it.
Donna: *Slams horns into table and stays there.*
Donna: This is a comfy table.
Azaroa: Hahahahaha
Azaroa: It's made from Treant
Donna: Eurgh. Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but I don't know how comfortable I am sleeping on a corpse.
Donna: Murder is one thing but that's just excesssive...
Azaroa: You don't sleep on a desk!!
Donna: Maybe YOU don't.
Azaroa: I don't even sleep!
Azaroa: But I still use a comfy bed!
Donna: Seriously.
Donna: You should like.
Donna: Tottally try sleeping some time.
Donna: It's so great.
Donna: DREAMING is great.
Azaroa: you're the second person to tell me that today
Donna: It's great advice!!
Azaroa: But what if someone steals from me while I'm asleep!!
Donna: If that happens I feel sorry for THEM.
Azaroa: why do you say that?
Azaroa: They'll go to jail
Donna: You're thinking too small, Boss!
Azaroa: Hmmm??
Donna: The law is flawed and way too small in scope.
Donna: When someone wrongs you that's your chance to get creative.
Donna: Like the gnomes!
Azaroa: those damn gnomes
Donna: My point is.
Donna: If you wake up tomorrow.
Donna: And you find out stuff was taken.
Donna: Act like the boss that you are! Make them pay in a way that gives you satisfaction in value equal to or greater than the value of the stolen object(s).
Azaroa: Of course!
Azaroa: That'll teach them
Donna: Personally?
Azaroa: I'm gonna, "Sleep," tonight and then we'll see if anyone tried something
Donna: I like a mild amount of torture.
Azaroa: But my carpets will get stained
Donna: Just a bit of laceration gets the idea across if it's a point you're trying to make.
Donna: Buuuuut, if you want personal satisfaction, I'd make them your personal slave.
Azaroa: Ooooh
Donna: And if they don't go for it?
Donna: Welllll
Donna: I'm sure Anabelle or I will have them come around.
Azaroa: Good
Donna: Nowif you'll excuse me.
Azaroa: Can you even stan-
Donna: *Tries getting up, stumbles, and has to prop self up with tail.*
Azaroa: *tries to stand up and doesn't quite makes it*
Donna: Ooh boy.
Donna: M aybe I shouldn't leave.
Azaroa: I'm fiiiiiine
Azaroa: If you want to stay with me thooooo
Azaroa: That's up to youu
Donna: I'm not.
Donna: i think I'll just
Donna: *Gets back in her seat, and rests head on table.*
Donna: Yeeeeeah this is fine.
Donna: I'll just.
Donna: Sort of.
Donna: *Passes out immediately.*
Azaroa: (Crawls over to Donna and rests her head on Donna's thigh. It's very squishy and comfortable and she sleeps*
Donna: *Donna's thighs are objectively amazing and very supple*
Donna: (They are in fact, probably, her best physical feature)
Azaren: Apologize
FAREN: *Faren hadn't slept much. Not for reasons one might have assumed, but because of an unsettled pit in her stomach. She hadn't been afraid to have words with Azaroa, and it's true that sometimes the words exchanged were more harsh than they needed to be but the other day made her uncomfortable. Azaroa seemed legitimately upset. Why else would she have had an outburst such as that? Faren's behavior had been...a little erratic lately and things with Donna were different and weird, to say the least. Later that evening she gathered herself to knock on the door to Azaroa's room. At the very least, Az was owed an apology.*
Azaroa: *Azaroa had previously had a talk with Anabelle about the party and had then retired to her study, broken out her liquor cabinet, and poured herself many drinks. She deserved it. It's been months since she had been home and surrounded by... Well, these people, took a toll on you. She was scribbling in a journal and getting progressively inebriated when she heard a knock on the door. 'It better be one of the help and not any of those people' she thought.*
Azaroa: Come in, dear~
FAREN: *It was definitely "one of those people". Faren softly opened the door, taking a step inside and marveling at the design of the study. Azaroa didn't half ass anything apparently. Quickly her attention was brought back to the matter at hand.*
FAREN: Hey Az.
FAREN: Can you talk for a minute?
Azaroa: Of course, dear
Azaroa: Have a good time?
Azaroa: Of course, you might need a drink after that, so pleeeease
FAREN: *Faren almost frowned but she kept the look off her face.*
FAREN: That's appreciated, but it won't be necessary.
Azaroa: *Azaroa messily pours Faren a drink in a glass, though not one meant for drinking*
Azaroa: Naaaah, here
Azaroa: *Pushes the drink away from her*
FAREN: Thanks *Takes the drink and politely sets it to the side.*
Azaroa: So, what do you need to talk about this time?
Azaroa: Is my leadership not up to par again?
Azaroa: Dragons?
FAREN: *Dragons!? Did someone say dragons? No, Faren calm down that is not why you're here.*
FAREN: No, none of that.
Azaroa: Oh, truly?
FAREN: You're doing a great job actually, better than I could hope to.
FAREN: Yes, truly.
Azaroa: Then whaaaat could it be?
FAREN: I wanted to apologize, Az.
Azaroa: Hoh
Azaroa: Rich
Azaroa: For what?
FAREN: I feel like I fucked up and over stepped a line with you.
FAREN: The other day.
FAREN: You seemed really upset.
Azaroa: What day?
Azaroa: Has it been more than one?
Azaroa: ... How long have I been in here?
FAREN: The better part of a full day.
Azaroa: No wonder I'm weary
Azaroa: Then again perhaps its you lot
Azaroa: What exaaaactly makes you think I'm upset?
FAREN: You yelling and storming off is usually a good indicator.
Azaroa: And what could it be about, hmmmmm?
Azaroa: No one in this group takes any of this seriously?
Azaroa: If someone wants to help us, no one will let them
Azaroa: Especially if it's a woman.
FAREN: What?
Azaroa: You're incredibly jealous for someone who chases any bit of tail that walks by
Azaroa: Not that it means too much to me
Azaroa: Youuuuu should just
Azaroa: I dunno
FAREN: I should just what?
Azaroa: Stick to one person that you fancy
Azaroa: You had been hitting on me for m o n t h s
Azaroa: And then suddenly someone else comes along
Azaroa: THat you get mad at
Azaroa: And then have the n e r v e to get jealous of my Anabelle
Azaroa: While you're making plans to be carnal with someone else.
Azaroa: And I'm not even having a relationship with her, she's just here to help us!
Azaroa: It's patheeeeetiiiic-ic-ic
Azaroa: Whooh
Azaroa: This... bottle got empty
FAREN: You told me that you wouldn't even want to attempt to pursue anything until this is over, and I respect that! Those feelings haven't subsided or diminished and things with Donna are...weird. I can't explain it, I didn't expect to feel like this because she legit makes me SO ANGRY and yes I perhaps had the intention to be carnal with her, but we decided not to...
FAREN: As for Annabelle...*She falls quiet*
FAREN: It is pathetic.
FAREN: *Fiddles with her fingers*
FAREN: I can tell how strong she is and it makes me feel a bit inferior...it always does. Kinda reminds me that I'm not strong enough or useful enough but that's no one's problem but my own and I shouldn't take that out on her...
FAREN: *She hands her drink to Azaroa before she's tempted to take a sip. She's REALLY tempted.*
Azaroa: Yeah, she's strong.
Azaroa: She says she has some
Azaroa: Connection to her dead family???
Azaroa: I don't know how far I buy that but
Azaroa: Stranger's happened
Azaroa: Fuckn
Azaroa: Drink
Azaroa: I poured it for you, you big baby
Azaroa: *pushes it back*
Azaroa: It's a elven recipe
Azaroa: And veeeeeery expensive
Azaroa: Like
Azaroa: A lot
FAREN: Okay.
FAREN: *She takes a sip*
FAREN: I wouldn't be surprised if Annabelle did have a connection like that. *She sighs softly. Should they be having this conversation with Azaroa like this?*
Azaroa: Isnt it good?
Azaroa: When I was with the gnomes
Azaroa: They said they stole this recipe from some elvish travellers and
Azaroa: Wow
Azaroa: Anyway
Azaroa: You said you had an a-po-lo-gy?
FAREN: I wanted to apologize for being an annoying bitch basically.
Azaroa: Well
Azaroa: You have been
Azaroa: Aplogy accepted
Azaroa: Nowwwwwww
Azaroa: In elf land
Azaroa: where I'm from
Azaroa: Obviously
Azaroa: Its customary to seal amends with a kiiiiiss
FAREN: You sure you wanna do that?
Azaroa: *Azaroa shakily gets up and walks over to Faren*
Azaroa: Yeeea-
Azaroa: *She trips over the rug and falls onto Faren*
Azaroa: Whoopsie daisy!
FAREN: *She catches her and tries to get her upright although her cheeks ARE a little warm*
FAREN: Are you okay?
Azaroa: Hahaha yeah
Azaroa: How did you get so
Azaroa: Big?
Azaroa: It's craaaazy
FAREN: I guess everyone in my family is kinda huge, and I train a lot hehe.
FAREN: You should see Karn. He's like, bigger than Lershe.
Azaroa: Nooooo
Azaroa: Lershe's the biggest
FAREN: He's pretty big yeah, but I swear Karn is more gigantic.
Azaroa: I mean
Azaroa: Probably not?
Azaroa: Lershe's a big pig guy now
Azaroa: Like
Azaroa: Talll
FAREN: Yeah.
FAREN: Him big.
Azaroa: So big
Azaroa: Liiike you
Azaroa: *Azaroa pokes Faren's face*
FAREN: *Blinks. Why is Azaroa poking her face?*
FAREN: Ow
Azaroa: Haaaaah
FAREN: Why'd you do that?
Azaroa: *Azaroa starts to laugh without controlling it, snorting a bit*
Azaroa: Because you're
Azaroa: THe big one here
Azaroa: And ur cuuute and strong and big
Azaroa: *Azaroa pokes Faren's face again*
FAREN: *IT KEEPS HAPPENING*
Azaroa: *STAIRS*
Azaroa: Woooooo
Azaroa: *Azaoa looses the muscles in her body and slides off of Faren and onto the floor, then stands back up because standing is the right position right now probably? Yeah, standing*
Azaroa: So yes
Azaroa: Elf land apology kisses
Azaroa: I demand!!! them
Azaroa: *Azaroa dramatically points to Faren*
FAREN: Are those really a thing and should they happen while you're about a whole bottle deep? *Damn, she does want to kiss her. She's wanted to for MONTHS, but it shouldn't happen like this should it?*
Azaroa: Pffff
Azaroa: I dunno
Azaroa: Probably not
Azaroa: But you can just owe me later
FAREN: Yeah, but after you get some sleep and aren't falling on the floor. Although that was a graceful save.
Azaroa: You can go ahead and kiss me aaaaanywhere you want though
Azaroa: Because you owe me
FAREN: Oh.
Azaroa: Elf Town kisses
Azaroa: Elf town?
Azaroa: That doesn't sound right
Azaroa: *Azaroa flops back down in her chair*
Azaroa: Whatever
FAREN: Elf land.
Azaroa: Yeah that one
Azaroa: *Azaroa reaches for the bottle again, discovering that it's empty, again*
Azaroa: How much did you TAKE Faren?
FAREN: *Holds up the glass Azaroa poured her*
FAREN: Only as much as you poured me.
FAREN: Do we really drive you to drink this much?
Azaroa: Pffffff
Azaroa: Yeah
Azaroa: This is
Azaroa: this
Azaroa: is pent up
Azaroa: M o n t h sss
Azaroa: With you chucklefucks
Azaroa: Has left me thirsty
FAREN: *Raises an eyebrow*
Azaroa: Except Demetria
Azaroa: She's got a good head on her shoulders
Azaroa: Everyone else?
Azaroa: Dead without me
Azaroa: Two of them were dead with me!
FAREN: That's probably true, yeah.
FAREN: You're really important to this group Az, and it must be hard shouldering everything.
Azaroa: It IS
FAREN: Can I help at all?
Azaroa: Probably not
Azaroa: A leader's burden is her own
Azaroa: *Azaroa overacts*
FAREN: It doesn't have to be.
Azaroa: But pity me, you must not, for I am the tragic clown
FAREN: ....okay
Azaroa: *Azaroa snorts*
Azaroa: Nah
Azaroa: There's just a lot here
Azaroa: And
Azaroa: I have to do it myself
Azaroa: Otherwise, everything will be ruined
Azaroa: It's
Azaroa: Kinda' up to me
Azaroa: Idiot cleric
FAREN: You can't trust anyone to help you at all?
FAREN: What'd Conny do now?
Azaroa: It's not trust
Azaroa: I'm the only one with the skill
FAREN: Probably, but keeping everyone in the dark isn't making things easier.
Azaroa: If you knew it would be a liability
Azaroa: Knowing in itself is part of it
Azaroa: Enough questions though
Azaroa: Do you have anything else to say?
FAREN: Yeah.
FAREN: Just don't, be afraid to be honest with me or talk to me.
FAREN: I still like you and I'm sorry that I've been confusing and annoying but, I still really want to have that drink with you when this all over.
FAREN: And I'll stay focused to make sure the world is still here so we can have it.
Azaroa: You better
Azaroa: You can beat things up better than me
Azaroa: So
Azaroa: You keep doign that
FAREN: Heh
FAREN: Okay.
FAREN: I can do more than just beat things up, even though that's my specialty.
Azaroa: Ohhhhh?
Azaroa: What's that?
Azaroa: Should I ask Ms. Crimelord?
FAREN: You'll have to wait and find out. *Grins*
FAREN: *Aaaaand the grin's gone*
FAREN: The crimelord wouldn't know either.
Azaroa: If you were a man, I'd joke about not being able to get it up
Azaroa: But
Azaroa: To my knowledge there's nothing to
Azaroa: get
Azaroa: up
FAREN: ...
FAREN: There isn't.
Azaroa: Okay
FAREN: Things just didn't happen.
Azaroa: Well, I can't say I'm unhappy that you blueballed her
Azaroa: ... Even thought that doens't apply here either
Azaroa: All of these insults are for men
FAREN: *Snorts*
Azaroa: I mean, they are worse
Azaroa: I'd know
Azaroa: I've sampled from both
Azaroa: Men are objectively worse
FAREN: I'll take your word from it. I have no intention of ever finding out.
Azaroa: Don't
Azaroa: It's disappointing
FAREN: *Giggles*
Azaroa: Now I should
Azaroa: Not sleep
Azaroa: Whatever spooky elf shit I do
Azaroa: I go comatose for a while?
Azaroa: But not like you
Azaroa: I can sense everything
Azaroa: You're just out
FAREN: Sleeping feels great though. You should try it some time.
Azaroa: I can't.
Azaroa: At least
Azaroa: I don't think I can?
FAREN: Have you ever tried?
Azaroa: Why would I?
FAREN: Why wouldn't you?
Azaroa: Because I can't I told you
Azaroa: I've passed out????
Azaroa: HAh
FAREN: Not quite the same. haha
Azaroa: Okay but really
Azaroa: I need to rest, dear
Azaroa: So please scurry on back to your room.
Azaroa: And I do mean your room.
FAREN: Yeah yeah. I'm going.
Azaroa: And
Azaroa: Thank you
Azaroa: At least someone here cares about apologizing
FAREN: Well.
FAREN: I care about you.
Azaroa: You sap
FAREN: Whatever.
FAREN: *Starts to make her way to the door*
FAREN: Goodnight.
Azaroa: Sleep tight.
Azaroa: We're off to the city tomorrow
Azaroa: Pick up something nice
Azaroa: And don't fight anyone!
FAREN: Ooooh, I cant wait to check out the armoury--Whaaaaaaaat?
FAREN: Why not?
FAREN: What if someone wants to duel me?
Azaroa: It's illegal
Azaroa: And Anabelle will flip
Azaroa: Keep it kosher around her
FAREN: Ugh.
FAREN: Fine.
FAREN: Okay.
FAREN: I won't duel anyone.
Azaroa: You better not!
Azaroa: Now out!
Azaroa: I need my beauty rest
Azaroa: You don't look this good at 100 that easily
FAREN: But I thought everything came easy to Azaroa. *TEASING*
Azaroa: Everyone, not everything, dear
Azaroa: *winks*
FAREN: Oh my god.
FAREN: I'm going to bed.
FAREN: *She snorts and leaves*
Azaroa: *Passes the FUCK out*
Azaroa’s Journal: Entry 7
It seems impossible, I know, but Lershe of all people was right.
We returned from that forsaken tower in the middle of nowhere, including some forest with a puzzle in the hopes that Demetria would get some sort of new powers. We stayed the night in the Baybrooke inn, mostly due to my suggestion that we did not camp again (it really gets old after a while). In the morning we chatted before wondering what to do today. While shopping would normally be at the top of my list, I had a small bit of business to attend to. I learned a new spell since the last time we were here, which would allow me some insight, or hindsight, rather, into what happened the night when Stelle has left us. Time was stopped and none of us could see what had happened. With this spell, now I could.
I started my vision in the room Stelle and Lershe were in. I had barely listened to their conversation while they were awake (why would I, it’s Stelle), but after Lershe had fallen asleep, I saw Stelle, obviously, was still awake. He started writing a note, and because I do not want to risk anyone seeing this, I’ll not write the contents down here. The long of it is Lershe was right, and I now had another burden as leader of this… gang, a burden that requires me to do things I’m not grenuinely pleased with, but it’s something that has to be done.
I finished my business, and headed to meet the group, did what was necessary, and we were visted by those two from the astral plane. If I’m being honest, I forgot their names, but they usually just show up, give us our next goal, then leave, so they serve their purpose, I suppose. We were to go to Artorias, my current home. Some of the group wanted to do their shopping now, but I, of course, suggested we do our shopping in the capital. They have more options and higher quality things. Baybrooke was nice if you needed to go to a farmers market, but Artorias was a shopping experience.
I borrowed Faren’s teleportation helmet, which has been increasingly convenient for all of us, and we headed to my manor. Anabelle was at her position outside the gate and was surprised to see me home already, even though it has been a few months already. Perhaps it was the entrance we made. In any case, I had noticed the grass had been… well, deader than when I left. Demetria suggested a solution of holy water, and I tasked Anabelle to get some from her cloister for the gardener.
We made our way inside, Faren and Donna flirting all the way. Honestly, I’m glad I turned from her advances after seeing the way these two have been interacting. It’s been constant flirting and it’s been giving me a headache, and I could see Lershe getting uncomfortable with the overtly sexual topic. I feel a little bad for casting that one spell on him, but it was for business, not pleasure, even though it takes care of both. I was trying to speak to everyone, mostly about recruiting Anabelle for our cause. Faren, of course, had a problem with it. Why is she so jealous of every woman I’m close with? Far be it her right to think she would be losing me when she’s already trying to bed someone else. Then she and Conny started arguing about something in a language I couldn’t understand, (note, learn that language) which derailed the entire conversation and ended with the Donna and Faren flirting once more.
It was impolite, truly, but I’d had enough of it at this point. Whenever anyone is speaking, this bunch of idiots, barring Demetria for the most part, are always fucking around with some magic, talking, pushing, hitting, fussing, arguing, or something that they shouldn’t be doing. Every single time. It’s unprofessional and needs to be addressed. I could understand insults to an enemy, but these are people on our side, and they’re not even bothering to pay attention.
So I yelled at them, then left with Anabelle to discuss the… “team dynamic.” Mostly just to not hook up with anyone (that’s an order) and to avoid talking about death clerics. Avoid hanging out with Faren because she’ll hit on you or want to fight you if you’re the slightest bit better than her. Avoid hanging out with Romana, she’ll either die or accidentally make you bleed out of your skin don’t ask. You don’t have any magic, so the Donna won’t steal things from you, but she probably won’t talk to you if you don’t have magic so don’t worry. Conny means well and is one of our primary healers, but don’t expect him to actually heal you because his head is so far up the Donna’s ass he won’t see you. Ravaella seems… absent as of late, and Demetria is nice to talk to, but has a problem with your whole religiousness so avoid bringing it up with her. Basic stuff. She seemed… reluctant to join, but decided to anyway. First things first, however, we needed to take her shopping for the journey. I gave her a gift though. A cloak that I had found on the journey that had brought myself luck. I had one that was more in season, but this one still had its uses.
