You know, I think your sister still don't like me.

[Filter: Lenore]

All right, Lenore, you ain't looking so great today. I weren't going to say nothing, but you just keep looking madder every minute that goes by. What's wrong? I didn't do nothing to piss you off, did I? Sure would hate to have you mad at me before the Night of the Dead.
addictivekind: (Default)
All right, Lenore, I think I found a costume. It ain't the scariest I ever done, but it'll work for the night. It's pretty simple, just found some old tattered clothes, figure I'll find some dark shit to rub under my eyes and I'll make a pretty convincing ghost.

I want your help putting it together, if you got some spare time, huh? I know you must be ready getting all your own stuff ready, but I figure it don't never hurt to have a pretty lady help me out with my costume. I've got to make sure it's scary enough to keep the sheevra away from both of us, huh?

Hey, sweetheart. I was thinking you might like to get out of that stuffy little flower shop for a bit today. You up for it?

I got a more serious question while we're at it, too.

[Filter: Private]

Yeah, yeah, what the hell. You're not ever gonna come collect on the credit I keep taking from you. You ain't done it yet, you ain't ever gonna do it. It ain't even that much money, you son of a bitch, just fork it over and stop eyeing me like I robbed your grandmother.

[Filter: Public]

Well, now, I hope you're all set for the Festival, Lenore. I been scrounging, and I got enough money to take you out to a nice dinner. Something right fit for a lady like you.

You're gonna come, ain't you? Say you won't leave a man hanging.
addictivekind: (Default)
I want you to know, Lenore, that you're the luckiest girl in the world. See, since I ain't got anyone else to get gifts for, I'm going to put all my extra cash toward having something extra nice for you once you get back to town. You can't ask what it is, though. It's gonna be a surprise.

The problem is that this rat bastard still won't pay me for any of the work I did last week. I even told him he'd regret it if he didn't pay up, and I got most of the guys to quit doing their work for him, but he don't seem to care none. He just keeps on going, day in, day out, saying he'll pay us when he can.

If he couldn't fucking pay us in the first place, why the hell'd he hire us? Makes a man have second thoughts about working at all to begin with.
addictivekind: (Default)
This is a fucking joke.

I haul this guy's goods day in and day out, and when the time comes for him to fork over the cash so I can eat at night, he don't give me a damn thing? It ain't just me, neither. Apparently he's done the same to every worker what's been doing their jobs.

If he ain't got the money to pay us, he shouldn't be asking us to haul his goods for him. He can go right ahead and do his work by himself, see how much he likes it when he's the one sore and sweaty at the end of the day.

Gonna have to hope I make enough money in cards tonight to cover it, dunno what the fuck I'm going to do if I can't.

Well, I been working at the docks, the past couple weeks. It's right filthy work, and I'm covered in grit by the time I go home every night, but I suppose there ain't much to be done. I got to earn my bread same as everyone else, and just means I got to work more since it ain't so much money as I used to get.

I been hearing they're looking for a few men to work guard duty on some of the warehouses down here since the city guard's too busy with business like breaking into innocent men's houses, I might look into it. It sounds like it might be right up my alley.

Dragons fuck.

[Filter: Public]

Guess I'm out of work again. Longest job I've had in years, though, so consider my hat tipped to you anyways, Miss Mianne, though I don't rightly know what I did to deserve getting canned.

There's probably work down at the docks. There's always work at the docks, hauling whatever shit they have back and forth, even if it don't pay well. Not like I got much of a choice. Guess I'll show up tomorrow, see if I can make my case.

Maybe that'll learn you to respect other people's fucking private property, you piece of shit. Don't you ever fucking come back. If I ever see your fucking miserable face around these parts again you'll wish I had killed you this time, and I ain't fucking joking.

Get the fuck out of my sight and just be glad I ain't about to tell your boss that you're all about breaking into a man's private home, you get that? Don't think I won't get your ass in trouble if you ever try a stunt like that ever again.

That little shit's holding out on me.

Another week he says, what the fuck is his problem. I can't fucking keep up like this. It's damn lucky I ain't dropped dead yet at work. Can barely keep my head straight most days, I just ain't got enough. I'm almost fucking out, then what the shit happens? I go to work in the middle of the itching, drop everything since I'm shaking too bad? Have to avoid clawing out my own goddamn eyes?

He don't get me some in the nest few days, I'm gonna have to call off work, and I need the fucking cash. Especially since the little fuck's probably going to charge extra. I'm going to fucking murder him.

[Filter: Public]

Ugh, I ain't feeling so hot. I don't think it's nothing to be worried about yet, just seasons changing getting my senses all haywire, or something.

Miss Mianne, I don't think I need to call off work just yet, but I might have to in the next couple days if this gets any worse. Awful sorry.

Fucking Dragons shit.

What the hell, he don't have any more. I don't pay the little fucker to hold out on me. I pay him to bring me my goods, on time, so I can keep going. What the fuck, he thinks I can just carry on? Gives me that smart little smirk of his and says I'll just have to fucking wait? Ain't I been paying him enough? The fuck I ever done to piss him off?

Fuck. I got some saved, but not enough if it's a whole fucking week til he gets more. If he ain't just fucking hiding it, wouldn't that be just fucking like him.

Dragons fucking shit.

You know, think you might have a point about our friend Arthur. Seems to me, he's following my steps a little too tight, you know? Whenever I turn around, he's right on behind me. He don't get on too well with the others at the games, neither. Dunno if he just don't want to associate with people what ain't from the nicer parts of the city, or something else, but I don't like it.

What can we do about this guy here, though?
addictivekind: (Default)
Good of you to be coming to these games again, Arthur. Specially since most of the crowd still ain't up for coming yet. Shame we ain't got you and your pal around anymore, either, Gebann, we could sure use a couple of scary faces to keep the crowd in line.

Just figure most people ain't willing to wager much, right now, with town still the way it is. Once it's been a bit, though, people'll be back to normal. Specially in this part of town. Most people down here ain't got a lot to spend anyways, so they bounce back faster. Give em another week or two, and we'll have a full table again.

[Filter: Terrance]

So, figure you lot'll be on your way out of town soon, ain't that right? Figure I ought to lend you an ear, fore you go, figure out if there's anything you need from me on the way out.
addictivekind: (Default)
Still pretty quiet, round here. People are starting to come sniffing out of their homes making sure everything's settled, but I think they still got nerves up. I don't blame em, to be honest. I still got nerves up. Think it's gonna take a while to settle back down again, after all this trouble.

Heard tell, though, some of the folks round here been planning for a sort of vigil, or something. Show our support, all get together for a few minutes at dusk tomorrow night, in the park on Foxglove Road. I don't know too many of the details, but I figure it's worth going for a mite. I ain't about to throw my support of the crown away, figure this'd be the way to show it.
addictivekind: (Default)
No, I ain't seen this kid around. There some reason you think I would've? No, ain't seen the girl, neither. What in the hell makes you bother a man while he's on his way to work in the morning? Don't it occur to you at all that if I'd seen these folk you been scrambling around for, I'd have told somebody?

I mean, it's a fucking murder. It ain't something I'm likely to just let blow on by. Just don't see why suddenly somebody thinks I got a hand in on this, seeing as I don't.
addictivekind: (Default)
Oy, Arthur. Think you musta seen this coming, but there ain't gonna be a game this week. Guard situation's getting too nasty. Scaring off all my regulars, you get? Just ain't going to be enough of em to make it worth my time to have a game. Barely even had one this week, as it is.

I'm sure you can find something else to do. Just thought I oughta let you know, if you were wondering.
addictivekind: (Default)
Was Gebann, weren't it? Had a talk with the bartender, bout you and your friend looking for work. He seemed pretty open to the idea, actually. Specially with all the guards around lately, I think he wants somebody who'd be willing to keep things in line. I ain't about to take claim for what my players do, but the games what go on can get messy. Think he figures if something gets nasty, he'll end up taking the heat from all the soldiers around town. Can't say I blame him none neither.

So anyways, his name's Burton. If you like, I can introduce you two him one of these nights. Think he'd be mighty glad to see you.
addictivekind: (Default)
Gotta say, never get tired of how crowded the shop gets on days like today. It ain't no flower store, but we still get plenty of girls looking for what to cook and a fair share of guys, too. Like everyone puts off their shopping til the last day, ain't that any surprise? Just as bad as Festival, some years.

Gotta say I'm glad I ain't working late, though. I got a few plans tonight, like any other self-respecting man in town. Got to keep myself busy somehow, you know?
