how do Lurdge and Ofarazzi meet?
OO WELL. When Lurdge arrived in Morrowind, she didn’t know anyone at all, she didn’t have anywhere to go (i headcanon the missive from Caius didn’t arrive until a few months later), and was totally unfamiliar with. literally everything. The only thing she could think to do was seek out the Thieves Guild, she was a fence back in the Imperial City and in her mind they were the only ones she had any shot of finding contacts with.
So she reached Vivec city, got a tip to check out the underworks, and managed to meet up with a little gang of thieves hangin out in the sewers. Razzi was with them, he was a pretty high profile member of the Thieves Guild but he was also involved in the Twin Lamps. He wasn’t really known for stealing valuables, see, his thing was stealing slaves (who he would then send off to freedom~*~*~*~).
So basically, Razzi agreed to introduce her to one of the Thieves Guild masterminds to get her a formal induction if she helped him with a job at a nearby plantation. And they just kinda. stuck together after that. They got along REAL WELL. At first Razzi just felt sorry for this old lady wandering aimlessly around (and tbh he also needed a pair of hands), but they both turned out to be rowdy, irreverent anarchists so. He was the catalyst that kicked that part of her personality into high gear.
Aaand up until she started pursuing her role as the Nerevarine they were great friends! Imagine getting wasted with a giant 900 lb cat monster. pretty wild
