- [01:07] Despair says, "The Asylum."
- [01:07] Ardith Illarian asks, "...I'll have free reign to work in here then, I'm hopin'?"
- [01:08] Ardith draws her eyes all around, hungry and intrigued.
- (Ardith Illarian)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:08] Despair says, "It's owned by Octavia, but ya. IT's open to the mountain dwellers ta all work in as wanted."
- [01:08] Ardith Illarian says, "Ain't too bad..."
- [01:08] Despair says, "It real ain't."
- [01:08] Ardith Illarian says, "I like my work private. Given how many rats ya got up here. But ain't too bad."
- [01:09] Despair says, "There's side rooms fer privacy."
- [01:09] Ardith Illarian says, "I get a lil' touchy 'bout my formulas. But nice to know it's here."
- [01:11] The Accursed strolls in, admiring the handiwork of the Lady Octavia. It was nice. She had to hand it to her. And probably a better place for conversation than the tavern.
- Ardith strolls over to the table, reaches into one of her pockets-
- And produces an organ. A heart, fashioned from green and gold metal. It's still smeared with dried blood. She sets it there on the table, as if putting it on display, then turns to the Lord.
- "I spoke with Donny. We'll be...supportin' one another. From the sounds of it. I take it that's who ya meant when you mentioned other folks wanted that place to hurt."
- (Ardith Illarian)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:13] "Yes."
- The Ultovexian takes little time to cross the room and arrive at one of the chairs near the desk. He floats above it, but looks to recline, Dusk and Aurum casting their gaze to Adrith.
- "Ma intent was ta hav' ya an' Adonis talk. I 'magine tha' by the topic, ya'll both should hav' someethang put together real easy. Both wit' an ire towards tha' city."
- "An' there mite b mor' willin' to help. Always Nethradin ichin' fer blood."
- (Despair)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:17] "S'true...we both wanna see the place turn into rubble. Well...he wanted the cluster. But he ain't seem to mind it bein' rubble neither.
- "Which is good, cuz I'd be doin' this even if he didn't want it."
- She was set on her course. And, much like when she'd made this very heart, she was not going to move from that path. Heaven and Earth will need step aside to make way for her ambition. It stops for nothing.
- "We've started plannin' together. Would ya still be able to see some of the accelerants put inside the temple proper? Garr and Zo are gatherin'. Ain't told 'em what for, but they were eager anyway."
- Lively, productive people up here. Whoever said that idle hands did the devil's work had clearly never seen the Mountain Folk and their zeal.
- (Ardith Illarian)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:21] The Ultovexian nodded.
- "I'm on board wit' the idea o' takin' the cluster. I also ain't fond o' 'henna an' preferred it destroyed. I want everything taken from it. I want it ta feel pain fer all the turnin' back on it's word. I want it to suffer fer each Gehenna they said wouldn't 'ttack Dawn, as they lied through their teeth."
- There was hostility in is tone as he spoke, arms crossing, teeth gnashing ever so slightly.
- "Do ya jus' want them rifted inta the temple? Tha' can b arranged. But ya, can see 'bout it. The mountain is real good at doin' work fas' too."
- "We are not as idle as they would believe."
- (Despair)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:25] Ardith feels that anger, and it resonates with her. More fuel for the fire, more reason to hate them, not that she needed any. She'd already had enough to build an inferno, enough to drive her to make their temple into a pyre and destroy all they cared for.
- They didn't deserve it. Lazy, greedy ingrates that clung to their ways.
- "Just in the temple. It oughta do. The idea is the central explosion'll set of a chain reaction with the accelerants. There won't be 'nough time or water for them to save it."
- (Ardith Illarian)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:28] The Ultovexian nodded.
- "The bes' time fer tha' would b durin' some sort o' attack. Could plant it somewhere inside, hav' the chain explosions start ta set up. Don't giv' 'em time an' see about distractin' 'em all the while."
- "It would make them know loss on a scale they hadn't imagined fer a long ass time."
- (Despair)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:28] Ardith Illarian says, "Exactly. Fuckin' exactly..."
- [01:28] Ardith Illarian asks, "Donny mentioned ya callin' in some help from Nethradin to attack. That so?"
- [01:30] Despair says, "I could."
- [01:30] Despair says, "I do a lot o' work wit' Helheim."
- [01:33] Ardith Illarian says, "If there's anythin' ya need on my end, lemme know. Otherwise..."
- [01:33] Ardith Illarian says, "Donny's plannin' to Wayfind the cluster away as the temple's goin' off."
- [01:33] Ardith Illarian says, "If all goes accordin' to how we're settin' up."
- [01:34] Despair asks, "Is assistance wit' buildin' thangs after we take it out o' the realm o' need?"
- [01:35] Ardith Illarian asks, "How ya mean?"
- [01:35] Ardith Illarian says, "Ain't think I follow."
- [01:36] Despair says, "Ya assistance buildin' wha'ever we decide to make wit' the cluster."
- [01:37] Ardith Illarian says, "Ya got it."
- [01:38] Ardith Illarian says, "Ain't matter what the fuck it is. So long as it ain't hurt me? Ya got my help."
- [01:38] Ardith Illarian says, "I wouldn't mind compensatin', 'course..."
- [01:38] Ardith Illarian says, "But these're all the things we can discuss when the time comes."
- [01:38] Ardith Illarian says, "Ya know me to be reasonable..."
- [01:38] Ardith Illarian says, "ish."
- [01:38] Despair says, "I 'magine ya will b rewarded. An' it is."
- [01:38] Despair says, "I believe we both hav' proven ta b reasonable in our dealin's."
- [01:40] Ardith Illarian says, "Can't say I've made one yet I regret with ya."
- [01:40] Ardith Illarian says, "...Unlike some places."
- [01:40] Despair says, "I would like ta keep tha' reccord. "
- [01:40] Despair says, "I ain't think I've made a single mistake wit' ya yet either."
- [01:41] Despair says, "Well, 'sides tellin' ya ta go on a date wit' Jun. There was no savin' tha' one."
- [01:41] Ardith reaches out to take the heart back from the table. She returns it to her pocket and taps her chin.
- (Ardith Illarian)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- [01:41] Ardith Illarian says, "...No. Not yet. Other than that, obviously."
- [01:42] Ardith Illarian says, "I'm just glad I came to my fuckin' senses."
