I - this is - [ Very clean. Very strange. Very frightening. But that he knows how to use this contraption must mean he is meant to be here.

He stops in front of the large windows. ]

Is this the realm of the Gods?

Where are my daughters?

[he is sharp, like jagged glass. maybe not the exact meaning one would assume behind the word, but Tek believes it nonetheless.]

I'm doing it for reasons that can be good.

Which is almost the same thing.

[treasureling]

Freedom.

[ Isn't that the most important thing, when you're in captivity? ]

video

[heresyandlace]

Precisely.

video

[treasureling]

Freedom for you doesn't necessarily mean freedom for others.

video

[heresyandlace]

And freedom often comes at a cost. It's a tricky thing,

But if we don't have that, what do we have?

video

[treasureling]

A very clean and strange place to live.

[heresyandlace]

[he laughs a little]

And an adoring audience watching every move and cheering at our misfortune. Aren't we lucky?

video

[treasureling]

Lucky wasn't what I meant.

I'm not very lucky.

And you probably don't want me as an ally as much as you think.

video forever

[heresyandlace]

I was being sarcastic.

...And why wouldn't I? You seem like a perfectly desirable ally.

[treasureling]

Wouldn't you want women? To fight.

nooo I dont want to leave for PT right now...

[heresyandlace]

[HA his smug smirking evaporates instantly.]

...Excuse me?

[treasureling]

Women. For warriors.

[heresyandlace]

Yes, I heard you...

But what are you talking about?

[treasureling]

What do you mean?

[heresyandlace]

Since when are females considered to be warriors among mankind?

[treasureling]

Always, on Spinward.

[heresyandlace]

Is that where you're from?

Is that how things are there?

[treasureling]

Yes. The Spinward Islands.

[heresyandlace]

Oh, islands.

[as if that explains everything. ...which, it might.]

The women were warriors? What about the men?

[treasureling]

We raise the children, and keep the home.

[heresyandlace]

Do they.

[it's not phrased as a question. and he doesn't sound exactly thrilled to be hearing this.]

So you're rather domestic, I take it?

[treasureling]

I work for a living, if that's what you're asking.

jeez, yet another notif I somehow lost

[heresyandlace]

What I'm asking if you are a domestic creature.

House and home, family. Probably an excellent cook.

nooo I need this thread

[treasureling]

...yes.

I keep doing this, ever since the switch to gmail ;;;;

[heresyandlace]

Aw... [he doesn't mean to sound entirely patronizing. but it probably comes off that way.]

That's kind of cute.
