CP: None of us are safe from ☥his even if we s☥op now, our only hope is ☥o con☥inue on and ge☥ each o☥her inside ☥he game as soon as possible.

Comments

[arcanescribbler]

If you were being honest with yourself, it felt like you were reading a well versed thriller. But considering the author you are loathe to tickle that fancy.

The subject and urgency within had you concerned, of course-- but the text and it's distinct colour leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

It takes you four times to reread the ordering your kismesis has penned.

Four.

Not just because his quirk burns you, or the fact that his use of last names forces you to do a little searching on the side so you know who it is he is referring too (nor was it the fact that 'Lyn' still makes your eye twitch-- no troll has a three letter name) no.

It was the name of your client player.

...

Oh hell no.

AS: o^o did you deliƁerate on the listing at all.
AS: o^o or did you do this to me on purpose.

[catenarypyre]

You can't help but spare the few seconds you have for a small smirk at the reply. Things are urgent and part of you is freaking out worried that not everyone will make it in time, but you can spare a few seconds to quietly revel in the fact that your plan to distress your kismesis has clearly worked.

Of course, all your plans regarding him usually work. He's rather easy to take low blows at and the amount of satisfaction you get in such is unmatched.

Sadly, you know there's not much time.

CP: I☥ was en☥irely in☥en☥ional, yes.
CP: You said you would be doing your bes☥ ☥o impress ☥hem, so I merely figured I would pu☥ you in ☥he bes☥ posi☥ion ☥o do so.
CP: Bu☥ ☥ha☥ aside, we don'☥ have ☥ime ☥o mess around on ☥he subjec☥. I wasn'☥ exaggera☥ing on ☥he urgency and danger we're all facing now.
CP: Have you looked ou☥side?

[arcanescribbler]

Of course it was entirely intentional.

Everything this damned plebe DOES is intentional when it comes to you and your interactions.

And although you hate to admit it -- YOU REALLY HATE TO ADMIT IT -- but he's right.

There was no time.

Not for flirting, not for fretting.

AS: o^o i assure you i will not disappoint our Esteemed Tyrian Heir.
AS: o^o this 'clever' little plan of yours, darling, did not work how you intended.
AS: o^o ...
AS: o^o yes, i am aware of the urgency.
AS: o^o i can smell smoke, and my lusus warns me that it's aƁout to get.
AS: o^o Much Worst.

[catenarypyre]

Despite the flames getting closer to your hive and your haste trying to get things in order this bastard still manages to get a spark of annoyance and a quirk of pleasure out of you.

But there isn't time to indulge. Perhaps later, when you're both safe.

CP: My plan will play ou☥ ☥he leng☥h of ☥he game, so we'll see.
CP: Bu☥ ☥ha☥'s some☥hing we can discuss la☥er.
CP: Don'☥ le☥ yourself ge☥ killed.
CP: Prove you can hold up ☥o your word of being able ☥o handle ☥his, even if ☥his is much more ☥han we expec☥ed i☥ ☥o be.

You allow yourself to show your concern because no matter how much you hate him, you don't want anything to happen to him. That would defeat the purpose of him being your kismesis after all.

}!{ I see you have realized who you are servering.
}!{ Hopefully it will not be too much of a discomfort for you?

[arcanescribbler]

AS: o^o oh
AS: o^o not at all, no.
AS: o^o i am merely concerned i am not good enough to Serve Him.
AS: o^o Ɓut i will do my Ɓest.

[elegantsyringa]

}!{ Concerns you should not be having!
}!{ Unless you are truly an incompetent person there is no reason to feel you are not "good enough".
}!{ And you do not strike me as being hopelessly inept, so Tyorik should see no reason to consider you such, anyway.
}!{ ...Though that said, he will probably, ah, flirt with you.

======> Capica: Butt in.

~NAH bro~
~DON'T WOrry about that~
~I'M SURE YOU'RE better than he deserves :)~

[gallantannalist]

======> Andora: Give bad questionable advice.

Woah, hey. Relax would you? The heir's still a troll same as you or me.
Now's not the time to be worried about who's higher or lower on the spectrum! Right now we need to focus on not dying 8efore the day is over.
The way I see it, as his server you actually have his fate in your hands! 8ecause His life, and his hive, depend on your actions to survive! Otherwise 8∞∞∞∞∞M!


As it turns out, you're not quite gutsy enough to outright suggest that it's possible to blackmail your clients, but hinting at it? That you feel comfortable doing.

Besides, power comes with a price, and using power to teach someone a little decency could never hurt... right?
