"Been busy have we?"

“Look, I won’t deny that my sins are all my own dumb fault...but is my list of 'em really that high? At this rate, I’ll never get to see if there’s a hot goddess waiting to guide the good to paradise after we die!”

“A price, huh?”

The concept was familiar enough. Nothing in life was free, as nice as the thought of that was. It wasn’t like he didn’t have money...though a good chunk of the money he held now had been given to him by Lachesis, and he was sure she hadn’t given it to him to throw away on high-end booze. Or even halfway decent booze, as the case was.

“Well, I ain’t committin’ to anythin’ until I hear how much it’s gonna cost me, whether the payment is in money or somethin’ else.” Sure, the booze down here really was shit, but he’d deal. No matter what comments some people might make about his taste in drinks.

He leaned forward in his chair, resting his cheek on his fist like he hadn’t a care in the world. His still half-full cup sat forlornly on the table, and he spared it a glance before shaking his head and turning back to his current companion.

“Anyway, lemme get straight to the point. We both know that this joint’s sad offerin’s ain’t why I’m here. I’m here to tell ya--my lil’ friend and I are a package deal. Ya rope one of us into somethin’, ya get the other as well. I’m sure ya knew that too, but I just thought I’d let ya know before that next lil’ mission of yours.”

"We're going to have a couple extras for that mission coming up, Balthus."

“We are? Well, the more the merrier!” They could always use some more people to watch their backs...and to show his strength off to. He trusted each of the Wolves with his life, of course, but none of them held much appreciation for the sight of the Iron King of Grappling’s steely muscles at work.

“So, who’s coming? Do I know any of them?”

"What’s the best way to calm down your muse when they’re angry?" for Lachy, Beo and Jamke

Soft Sunday meme

Lachy:

Lachesis’ anger is very explosive. Even after the initial raging has died down, she really seethes and holds onto grudges and the desire for vengeance for a very long time. To calm her down it’s honestly easier to let her wear herself out (eventually) by just letting her yell or giving her a good fight to let off some steam. She’s unfortunately prone to making reckless decisions when angry, but trying to placate or distract her will go terribly and should be avoided unless you’re immediate family.

Suggesting things she can do about the thing that’s making her angry can help sometimes, though if it’s something she’s thought about already she might just get more frustrated lmao. Fighting her (while she continues yelling) is probably the fastest way to get her to calm down at least a little since it will tire her out both physically and mentally and she feels better after hitting things.

Beo:

Beo doesn’t really...get angry all that much (sorry Eldie :c). He’s more prone to grumbling, doing petty shit to let someone he’s mad at know he’d mad, or maybe raising his voice a little versus stomping around punching and breaking things. He might take the initiative and try to calm himself down by sulking with a pint of beer or heading to the arena to fight his bad mood out.

Unlike Lachesis he doesn’t usually stay mad about things that he can’t change, transitioning more easily to resignment about that just being how life goes. It’s also difficult for him to stay mad when someone’s being unfailingly kind to him, so I’d say the fastest way to calm him down is either let him grumble at you as you make supportive noises/comments or fight him because he’s a very physical person and physically tiring him out will also make him too tired to want to bother thinking about why he was angry.

Jamke:

If Jamke gets angry he’ll usually go off by himself to go shoot at targets or hide out in the forest just sitting or walking until he’s cooled off. He can be a vengeful person, but he mostly feels hollow and exhausted after being angry and generally tries to stay calm and rational and not let anger cloud his judgment. Like Beowolf, it’s hard for him to maintain high levels of rage when someone is being very kind to him and understanding of why he’s mad at whatever thing--he gets kind of embarrassed about dumping that all on them/them seeing all that and calms down fairly quickly.

"Well aren't you the lucky one? Chosen to represent us all in the dance competition. I can't wait to see this."

“Aw, c’mon, Boss…you know I didn’t even wanna do this! Showing off the Twinkle-Toed King of Dancing’s slick moves with the ladies is one thing, but twirling around and around for some stuffy old judges to rate me is another. Can’t they just have a punching contest instead?”

[brashenheart]

"No, you had it right the first time. Irresponsible."

“Aw, c’mon, Boss! Sure, I don’t think things through a lot...but even that can’t take away from The Irresistible King of Grappling’s undeniable appeal, can it?”
