Astrea and Erxiqa: Meet

Astrea_Bastet
===BEGIN===
Astrea_Bastet
The gentle sea breeze blows through the coast as the gentle twilight of the setting sun shines on the water, making for a beautiful scene. On the shore sits a singular troll smiling as she stares at the sunset, this particular troll in question in a fuchsia blood judgingf rom her fuchsia colored dress and make up.
* Erxiqa_Karzek emerges from the nearly treeline to find herself upon the shore. Her view  of the sunlight on the water interrupted by a figure with a tint of fushcia. Erxiqa approaches the figure with caution from behind to get a closer look
Astrea_Bastet
The figure in question, Astrea Bastet smiles as she stares out at the sunset, seemingly not noticing the woman approaching her
* Erxiqa_Karzek Approaches, scythe in 1 hand. Now with a closer look can clearly identify the traits of royalty. She has to be careful, she doesn't know how dangerous this could be. Erxiqa leans over to speak
Erxiqa_Karzek
Who are you h7ghblood?
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea jumps a bit as she kinda quickly turns around, her eyes glowing noticeable "Oh, hello there. I'm Astrea. Who are you?"
→ ireg has joined
Erxiqa_Karzek
Why would 7, tell you that? 7 have no reason to exchange pleasantr7es w7th somebody of your stature.
Astrea_Bastet
"Cause it's better than just waving around threats like every other troll"
Erxiqa_Karzek
What, do you th7nk 7 should welcome you because of your royalty? The royalty has done noth7ng for me, you shouldn't rec7eve k7ndness from somebody such as myself
Astrea_Bastet
"No of course not, I'd rather you judge me based on my character. "
Erxiqa_Karzek
F7ne then, what 7s your character? Enl7ghten me.
Astrea_Bastet
"I wish to make Alternia a better place, one with less of this bloodshed and no more Miss Massacre making young grubs wet their recupercoons"
Erxiqa_Karzek
That's odd com7ng from a h7ghblood. But even 7f you are somewhat d7fferent from our Empress, why should 7 bel7eve you?
Expla7n 7t to me, and expla7n carefully
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea nods "Because I hate seeing what MM has caused, and I hate how our species is just known for bloodshed and selfishness...even as I run and hide I do good where I can, helping anyone I can come across. If you also want us to change, I ask you kindly to perhaps help me? If you refuse that is okay but I'm going to one day blast that evil selfish bitch"
Erxiqa_Karzek
Do you really mean that? How far would you go to set th7ngs r7ght?
7f you truly bel7eve 7n what you sa7d. There w7ll be 7 r7ght answer.
Astrea_Bastet
"Of course I do, but how far...I do not wish to kill innocents as much as possible, I cannot become the monster that MM is."
Erxiqa_Karzek
So you would rather lose yourself rather than that l7ves of these 7nncoents?
Astrea_Bastet
"I won't want either, what would be the point of killing her if I just become her?"
Erxiqa_Karzek
We all want the world to be a better place, and you say no l7ves would be lost 7f you were to ach7ve 7t. What about your own?
Astrea_Bastet
"I won't want lives to be lost, but it is inevitable that lives will be lost...I know that better than anyone. But my own...a power vacuum would be a worst case scenario, a power vacuum creates a violent grab for power which should be avoided"
Erxiqa_Karzek
7f you were to ach7ve your perfect world, what would you do w7th our current empress? You are r7ght about not k7ll7ng her, to k7ll her 7s to become her. You are r7ght about that.
Astrea_Bastet
"A trial, not the spectacle of the teal bloods and Grand High blood but an actual trial to list out her crimes before a real sentence is held. Either being Exile or Imprisonment for life. I've read plenty of low-blood books on proposed trials...they are quite fascinating where something called a 'defense attorney' exists."
* Erxiqa_Karzek Erxiqa believes her, whether she likes it or not. She isn't the other highbloods, not with her mindset. That is a mindset that can be respected, even Erxiqa is after a similar goal. Even if she intends to get there differently.
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea patiently waits, before glancing to the last lights of the setting sun
Erxiqa_Karzek
Alr7ght, 7'm sorry. 7 can see you properly now. May 7 ask you for your name?
Astrea_Bastet
"Certainly, Astrea Bastet."
Erxiqa_Karzek
Astrea, 7 never could 7mag7ne of meet7ng somebody l7ke yourself. 7'm Erx7qa, Erx7qa Karzek. You haven't once reacted badly to my att7tude or quest7ons, you are a true character
Astrea_Bastet
Astrea smiles "Thank you, your words are very kind. Would you like to sit with me?"
Erxiqa_Karzek
7 would thank you
* Erxiqa_Karzek sits down beside Astrea
Astrea_Bastet
"Do you live locally?"
Erxiqa_Karzek
Yes, 7 do. You?
Astrea_Bastet
"Yes close, it's a nice place. With so many fishes!" her eyes shine a bit "Clownfish, one or two dolphins..."
Erxiqa_Karzek
That does sound n7ce. But  7 can't say my h7ve 7s much l7ke 7t.
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh, sorry I just really like sea creatures especially catfish"
Erxiqa_Karzek
No need to be sorry
Astrea_Bastet
"What about you, any hobbies?"
Erxiqa_Karzek
None, 7've just settled down.
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh, making a new hive? That's nice"
Erxiqa_Karzek
Well, 7t's already made at this po7nt. 7t's not much, but 7t 7s someth7ng.
Astrea_Bastet
"May we exchange trollian handles?"
Erxiqa_Karzek
Sure, who are you?
* Astrea_Bastet exchanges her handle with Erxiqa, hers being futileProtection
* Erxiqa_Karzek exchanges her handle with Astrea, hers being latentArchivist
Erxiqa_Karzek
Alr7ght, what now?
Astrea_Bastet
"Chat? I've never really had too many conversations with others outside of my small circle"
Erxiqa_Karzek
What do you want to talk about, 7'm pretty short of topics
Astrea_Bastet
"Thoughts on psionics?"
Erxiqa_Karzek
7 have never really met somebody w7th them, but 7 guess they are pretty 7nterest7ng
Astrea_Bastet
"Oh well, consider you have met someone with them! I actually am psionic"
Erxiqa_Karzek
Really, what can you do w7th your ab7l7t7es?
Astrea_Bastet
"Eyebeams."
Erxiqa_Karzek
Oooooh
Astrea_Bastet
"It's pretty flashy, so I use them sparingly."
Erxiqa_Karzek
That's understandable
Astrea_Bastet
"But useful if someone were to try and perform regicide"
Erxiqa_Karzek
7f they were to do that, yes. Yes 7t would
Astrea_Bastet
"I'm trying to learn other psionics but it isn't the easiest"
Erxiqa_Karzek
7 can't 7mag7ne 7t be7ng easy.
but 7 w7sh you the best of luck w7th 7t
Astrea_Bastet
"Thanks! So you're skilled with a scythe?"
Erxiqa_Karzek
7've had th7s for longer than 7 can remember. 7 wouldn't call myself too sk7lled but 7 can use 7t
Do you have a weapon of preference?
Astrea_Bastet
"Eyebeams, or if I have to a gunblade"
Erxiqa_Karzek
Gunblade?
Astrea_Bastet
She nods and pulls out a gunblade "Yes it functions as both a sword and gun...I'm uh...really bad at the gun function"
Erxiqa_Karzek
Well, best st7ck to what you are good at.
Astrea_Bastet
She nods before a small roar is heard "Oh, I have to go."
Erxiqa_Karzek
Goodbye Astrea, 7 w7ll look forward to our next meet7ng
