audio; un: a tentacute observation

[companionsgrasp]

I had a meeting with priestess Valeria. It seems she and the followers [hear: cult] of the Chained God could use all the help they can get. She offered me quite the set of benefits if I were announce in the arena that I had converted to the faith of the Chained God. There was a good emphasis on having me implore my loyal fans to support the god and his agents, the army--the Hand. I got the feeling this wasn't her first time making an offer to someone with influence in exchange for what she needs. They must not get much on their own merit.

Not that, I suspect, any of us are surprised to confirm that their faith isn't so sincere or well-off considering...well. Who wants to serve a god of destruction? It never turns out good, not even for the criminally insane that want to watch everything burn.

Too bad for her I'm not actually a gladiator. Or want to help out the cult of a god of destruction and chaos earn money for their endeavors.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time. I'll keep an eye or fourteen out for any danger, I promise.

[downswing]

...fourteen.

[companionsgrasp]

A really bad joke? Or poor math. Yes, I know.

[That last part probably wasn't meant to be recorded.]

[downswing]

See your caution is no jest.

[companionsgrasp]

It's not.

I am used to trouble, if that helps ease your mind any. As much as I get into it, I always manage to get out of it as well.

[downswing]

A propensity for chaos gives no reassurance.

[companionsgrasp]

I- heh. When you put it that way, I suppose not.

[downswing]

See yourself to safety.

Likely, they will seek another in your stead.

[companionsgrasp]

I would pretty much guarantee that. They need the patronage of anyone they can get.

[downswing]

Others may not prove as righteous.

[companionsgrasp]

...yeah. Probably not.

[downswing]

Gratitude. For your honour.

[companionsgrasp]

O-oh, um. Thank you?

[He'd never been thanked for just standing up to his principles before. In fact, usually he was just frowned at doing things "differently" than others.]

[downswing]

...be welcome.
