-- fortunateOpportunist [FO] began trolling absoluteAltitude [AA] at 04:32 --
-- fortunateOpportunist's [FO'S]  voice can be barely heard through the massive wooden door you're standing behind of. Two blueblooded henchmen are standing a small distance away from you, and the other calmly moves to open the door as Seiska starts yelling --
FO: jυsт sєηd hєя iη, dαмηiт! ησBσdy hαs тiмє ƒσя αℓℓ тhis dαηdyiηg αяσυηd!
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  is feeling preeetty nervous right about now. She steps inside, quickly. --
AA: <\ It, it's okay, Seiska! I'm here already! />
-- fortunateOpportunist [FO]  is, once again, sitting behind the ridiculously massive desk of hers, on an equally massive armchair that dwarfs her. She seems slyly pleased for some reason. --
FO: gσσd, gяєαт! i'vє Bєєη єxpє¢тiηg yσυ...

AA: <\ Why, why did you want to see me? />
FO: σh, ησ яєαsση. jυsт тσ яєтυяη sσмєтhiηg σƒ yσυяs...
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  tilts her head. --
-- fortunateOpportunist [FO]  tosses a small envelope across the desk to Paloma. Inside, there are several discriminating pictures. --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  opens the envelope and oh look she went from zero to blushing brightly in like point two seconds. --
FO: σh, тhαт's α gσσd ƒα¢є. vєяy єxpяєssivє...dαмη, тhє ¢αмєяαs Bєттєя hαvє ¢αυghт тhαт.

AA: <\ But, but I thought-- he didn't say -- />
-- fortunateOpportunist [FO]  leans forward on the desk, still smiling pleasantly --

AA: <\ No! />

-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  bites at her lip. Quietly, she asks: --
AA: <\ ... what do you want me to do? />

-- fortunateOpportunist's [FO'S]  smile is still as pleasant as ever. Although the look in her eyes is far from friendly. --
FO: //*єyє
AA: <\ ... I fly with my glider. I write poetry. I can dance okay, and I sing well. My... my hobbies aren't exactly good for a casino. />

-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  swallows and clears her throat, trying to dismiss her nervousness. She launches into an Alternian war hymn about glory - one which shows off both her low and high notes, both of which she hits well. She wasn't kidding when she said she sang well -- her voice is wonderful. --
-- fortunateOpportunist [FO]  slowly claps her hands when the song finishes, smiling widely. and it's not a fakey-fake one either. --
FO: σh yєs! тhαт's gяєαт! shσw-wσятhy, єvєη.
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  looks to Seiska, asking nervously: --
AA: <\ Will, will you accept it? />

-- fortunateOpportunist [FO]  leans back in her chair, looking satisfied --
-- absoluteAltitude [AA]  makes a note of this. It's going STRAIGHT in her flight chart when she gets home. --
