arthurianNoblesse
GReetings ROland.
Rolandsprite
Well good fuckin' morning. If there sunshine I'd tell it to shut the hell up and stop makin' so many loud colors in my face.
((*there were))
arthurianNoblesse
OH, I"m sorry, if this is a bad time I Can leave and contact you later.
Rolandsprite
No no, stay.
'S just the second time I've blacked out in as many hours.
Gonna work the grog off with a good chat with m'dear friend Levi.
arthurianNoblesse
AH, well I Had some questions which I Was hoping your spritely knowledges could shed some light upon.
Rolandsprite
You ever miss havin' a body? Christ, I miss havin' a body.
And sure. Fire away.
Wondering if this headache'll let me cheat the "vagueness protocol."
arthurianNoblesse
ER, I Have a body, so I Doubt my ability to provide an answer to your question.
BUt, yes, my questions.
I Was speaking with my sprite earlier and in answer to a query regarding how we were meant to defeat the black royalty, he informed me of something called godtiering.
Rolandsprite
Okay, yeah, sure. God-tiering. Lemme tell you what, boy:
Are you afraid to die?
Go on. Don't keep me waiting. Are you?
arthurianNoblesse
I- uhm, well, I Certainly would not like to die, but a knight must be willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good, so if I Needed to I Would.
Rolandsprite
I tell y'all time and time again to not think about "sacrifice." I asked if you were afraid to die, not if you wanted to go throw your life away for meager returns.
Rolandsprite
Levi Devaux, I'm going to give you one piece of advice on "God-tiering"
There is a blade for you. It is shaped like [courage.] Impale thyself upon it.
Next question.
arthurianNoblesse
I am unsure if I Understand, is this as specific as your spritely impulses will allow you to be?
Rolandsprite
Probably. I don't feel like testing this pounding headache. Find your blade. Throw yourself upon it.
There's one for everyone.
arthurianNoblesse
AS you say then, my sprite also gifted me with a riddle regarding it. IF I Were to show you it, would you be able to assist me in understanding its meaning?
Rolandsprite
You must be tested and die upon your to ascend.
You're welcome to try.
arthurianNoblesse
"Should you die on the bed of your inside red, naught but demotion you will find, and your ulltimate goal always on your mind."
Rolandsprite
Demotion? I need to have a word with your sprite on the definition of "demotion."
But naw, this means as much to me as it does to you.
arthurianNoblesse
AH, blast, I Was hoping you could assist me in its decoding.
I Appreciate your consideration of it, even if naught was gained.
Rolandsprite
Shit, you're too damn polite for your own good, Levi.
But you're welcome all the same.
Lemme ask you a question in return
arthurianNoblesse
OF course, it would be rude to deny you such.
Rolandsprite
You spoken to Lily lately?
She's the last person I remember talking to.
arthurianNoblesse
ONly just before I Spoke to you. Why do you ask?
Rolandsprite
No reason. Just wondered if she had anything to report as to why I blacked out.
I don't recall logging off or ending the chat.
arthurianNoblesse
SHe mentioned a specific word which I Am not to say to you, stating that it would cause you to "Freak out">
Rolandsprite
"Freak out?"
arthurianNoblesse
I Believe those were her words, although I May be paraphrasing slightly.
Rolandsprite
So she's got some sort of diabolical power over me.
She ended a conversation by triggering something specific in me. Something devastating.
arthurianNoblesse
SHe seemed to think it was the word more than herself, which held power over you.
Rolandsprite
Whatever she's doing, tell her to fucking stop. It hurts and I don't like it.
It's...
Scary, to wake up like that.
arthurianNoblesse
I Shall inform her that you are very against her use of the word when we next speak, I Would not desire to cause you any undue pain, and neither would she I"m sure.
Rolandsprite
Thanks. What's your next move?
arthurianNoblesse
I Had another question I Should like to ask you, if it is not too much trouble.
Rolandsprite
Fire away.
arthurianNoblesse
I Recently did battle with an ogre, which I Presume you know to be an enemy a notable step above an ordinary imp. ANd from its appearance I Have theorized that the enemies which we face shall increase in difficulty as we grow stronger and explore farther. COuld you confirm or deny my theory?
Rolandsprite
I can.
They'll get bigger, and angrier, and dumber.
Just you wait.
arthurianNoblesse
OH, well at the very least we can be glad that the last of those adjectives is a positive for us.
Rolandsprite
How'd you fare?
arthurianNoblesse
I Was able to dispatch it quickly, the beast didn't land a single strike upon me.
Rolandsprite
Not bad. How'd the dumb brute react when it sensed its impending demise?
arthurianNoblesse
IT tried to slam its body into me, an attack which I Only barely dodged.
Rolandsprite
Dumb animals. A beast rightly dispatched in light of its idiocy.
arthurianNoblesse
I Suppose so, although I Must admit it makes me uneasy to speak ill of those I Have felled.
arthurianNoblesse
LOoking beyond my current need for information, I Should like to query as to your personal health ROland. HOw are you doing?
Rolandsprite
Feel like a million bucks. Portia's gone (I feel like shit for that), there's a word ANYONE CAN SAY at ANYTIME that'll cause me to lose my shit, and I'm all alone on a planet filled with Jack dick all but sand and a bunch of scalpels.
So, yeah, awesome.
arthurianNoblesse
I Cannot help but feel that those are qualities which would make a person feel the exact opposite of awesome.
Rolandsprite
I guess your master missed out on teaching you the finer points of sarcasm.
Still,
I guess all that weapons training came in handy, so I'll take it over the sarcasm.
arthurianNoblesse
IF you would like to, I would not mind fulfilling the role of a supportive friend for you to speak with your emotions to.
arthurianNoblesse
I Feel as though we have not spoken beyond the mere trading of information in some time, and this game can be very trying to one's emotional health.
Rolandsprite
I just kinda feel... Lonely? It's a strange feeling.
I spent sweeps, ENTIRE SWEEPS, alone on the path.
And then I start feeling lonely NOW? What, are they SHITTING ME with this?
arthurianNoblesse
PErhaps these feelings are engendered by the loss of POrtia's company?
Rolandsprite
I've worked with people, y'know.
We'd work the same job for coin.
Wouldn't be anything but business when we immediately turned and shot at each other once the job had been finished.
It never made sense to me, either, but fuck if that wasn't how it happened.
And only NOW, do I feel lonely.
I don't understand that. I don't understand Lily, either.
arthurianNoblesse
WHat has been happening regarding LIly?
Rolandsprite
I don't... Do black things. It's just not my style. I'm supposed to stay cool, calm, collected as I was taught many sweeps ago.
arthurianNoblesse
BLack things? I Am afraid you have lost my understanding, is this some sort of game mechanic yet to be revealed?
Rolandsprite
But then this Palmer broad comes 'round, literally pushing my buttons to get the last word in.
Black things. Caliginous relationships.
Kismessitude.
arthurianNoblesse
I Am not gaining the necessary information from these alternate terms.
Rolandsprite
I think of it as the kind of hate just shy of murderous intent.
And I don't want any part of it, but every time she opens her damn mouth...
Every time she says something flirty or pushy...
arthurianNoblesse
THis does not strike me as an enjoyable emotion to feel towards someone, and even less as the kind of emotion one ought to build a relationship from.
Rolandsprite
Ach, it don't do to go discussin' my romantic feelings like this anyway.
arthurianNoblesse
OH, I"m sorry if I Sounded judgemental regarding this sensitive topic, I Retract my statement, I Am just unexperienced regarding these ideas.
Rolandsprite
It's good to let it off my chest, though.
arthurianNoblesse
I Am glad I Could help you in that area then, even if it was only by providing an ear willing to listen.
arthurianNoblesse
IF you would like, I Could try to speak with LIly regarding "Cutting you some slack"< I"m sure she is not desirous of pushing you into feelings you are uncomfortable with.
Rolandsprite
Pushing me? A human wouldn't understand this... Intense lust.
arthurianNoblesse
I Confess I Am unsure as to the veracity of that statement, but I Shall trust you in regards to it.
Rolandsprite
I'm gonna go fly over the land, hollerin' bloody murder as I do. I'm lookin' fer somethin', and if I find it our game is gonna change fer the better.
arthurianNoblesse
AU revoir ROland, I Hope that we may have more conversations like this in the future.
Rolandsprite
Hope...
More...
I...
arthurianNoblesse
WAit, oh no
Rolandsprite
Rolandsprite is now offline
arthurianNoblesse
I"m sorry, are you alright?
DAMMIT!
