[Dragonmail: Anais Vanillar]

[ghostlyheiress]

[The dragon shows up right in the middle of whatever anais is doing outside. Right in the middle of it too. Funny how that works.]

Hey, are you going the solstice party?

[Waits for a response...if there isn't any by a good 60 seconds, have another letter with the same message...and another 15 seconds after that. Not like there's any rush or anything.]

[Dragonmail: Marlene Reliace]

Hey, I don't know if you remember me. I'm Lynea, the woman who threatened your creator's life at one point?

Right, well we just so happen to know the same person and I was wondering if maybe you could help talk her into going to the solstice party?

Much appreciated.

[Dragonmail: Lera, Player of Acher?]

I hope this goes to the right lady.

So hello! We didn't exactly meet the best of the terms once and I never really got to talk to you at the party last time. I know you're a friend of Anais and I was hoping you could help me get her to the solstice party.

[After the first five dragons have come. And a sixth as she's writing this. DAMN IT, LYNEA.]

Stop abusing the poor dragons and no.

[ghostlyheiress]

[If you expected to get even just one more line lecture-wise, you are very wrong, Anais as response comes quickly.]

It's not abuse if you're paying them for their trouble.

[vallinar]

In what universe is it acceptable to send six or seven dragons all bearing the same message?

[ghostlyheiress]

when you're bored, obviously.

[vallinar]

[Anais isn't even going to dignify this one with a response. It was promptly balled up and thrown in the trash.]

[ghostlyheiress]

[And another just as you stubbornly ignore the first one.]

Also why not?

[vallinar]

I am from Everea and we did not celebrate that sort of thing there.

[ghostlyheiress]

and that's stopping you now, how?

[vallinar]

I would like to continue to uphold some tradition here, thank you very much.

[ghostlyheiress]

[...]

A tradition in not going to a party. [Wow, you can't be that much of a party pooper, right?

[vallinar]

We did not celebrate minor deities in Everea.

[STOP JUDGING ME. I KNOW YOU ARE.]

[ghostlyheiress]

I don't believe in any, but I still go. [Because everyone must be like Lynea, right?]

Would they take away your paladin fan-club card if you went or something?

[vallinar]

A "paladin fan-club card" does not actually exist, Lynea.

[ghostlyheiress]

[.....]

that's because it was rhetorical.

Anyway, you should come with me

[vallinar]

Should I?

[ghostlyheiress]

Have anything better to do than be in the company of another lovely woman?

[vallinar]

[The following response comes about ten minutes later as Anais attempts to determine if Lynea's being serious here]

That is your argument to attempt to convince me to attend this party. Are you serious, Lynea?

[ghostlyheiress]

Sure. It's not like you'd agree to any other argument I make. Might as well go for sex appeal.

[vallinar]

And this is a valid argument when you have no idea what my preferences might be?

[ghostlyheiress]

are you saying you're more into men than women?

[vallinar]

[...and another ten minute pause as Anais thinks about this]

To be perfectly honest, I never gave the matter much thought.

[ghostlyheiress]

then my incentive is legit.

[vallinar]

Fine. I will go with you, but only to keep you from doing something absolutely ridiculous.

[ghostlyheiress]

Hmm. That might be tough.

If you come to the party in something pretty, I can guarantee I'll be in my best behavior.

At the very least, you'd have my undivided attention.

[vallinar]

I do not believe I own anything you would consider "pretty".

[ghostlyheiress]

Guess you should go shopping then.

Surprise me. [you know that feline grin is being given right about now, anais.

[vallinar]

Excuse me?

[ghostlyheiress]

[Nope. Lynea is going to leave you with just that. enjoy your flailing. :>]

[marleneonthewall]

Yeah, I remember you.

Tell me why I should do anything for you after that?

[ghostlyheiress]

Well I didn't even kill the guy to begin with. Didn't even maim him besides a little scratch here and there.

Besides, it's not for me anyway. It's for Anais and make her have fun. I don't think you're the kind of horrible lady that would leave another friend absolutely bored because of something I did, would you? [Yeah, you can probably feel that sneer in the words, Marlene.]

[marleneonthewall]

Fuck you, actually. If Anais doesn't want to have fun on your terms, that ain't my problem.

[ghostlyheiress]

I think you don't know Anais very well if you think I only want it on 'my' terms. She's a stickler about having the least amount of any kind of fun and feels miserable because of it.

Maybe I'm wrong to think you're her friend if you're willing to punish me through her.

Well, thanks anyway.

[marleneonthewall]

She's Everean. They don't do Solstice. Even if I forced her to come for you, she'd still be miserable.

[Marlene was going to ask Anais to come anyway but lol fuck that now]

If you care about her well-being so bleeding much, maybe try an activity she actually will enjoy.

[ghostlyheiress]

That's the problem.

She doesn't drink, have any sort of nice clothes outside paladin gear, barely wears make-up, doesn't even give guys or girls a single glance, and doesn't do anything outside of work besides prayer, cleaning or sword drills.

She doesn't even think 'fun' is a real word.

[marleneonthewall]

Maybe, and I'm sure this'll come as a right shock to you, but maybe she doesn't find the same things fun as you do.

So maybe you should bugger off about trying to force it on her.

[ghostlyheiress]

I have a feeling you're not quite the nicest person, are you?

[marleneonthewall]

Coming from you!

At least I don't try to kill people and act like it was no big deal after.

[ghostlyheiress]

[You're a support caster, do you even know which end of the sword to stab things with?] Seeing as how I didn't kill him in the least, it really isn't.

Tell you what though, I'll apologize to him, if it'll make you feel better.

[marleneonthewall]

Do whatever the fuck you want, I don't really care to have anything to do with you anymore.

[ghostlyheiress]

[eh. well, Lynea tried to offer an olive branch. Marlene didn't take. Marlene's lose v(._.)v]

[firecracker_hopping]

I remember you. You should apologize to Marlene.

I'm afraid I'm in a poor position to convince Anais of anything at the moment. If she wants to go, she will, however!

[ghostlyheiress]

Yeah, I did. She's doesn't seem to appreciate it very well.

Something happen between you two?

[firecracker_hopping]

No, we're still good friends. I'm just rather occupied and not in Fall City at the moment.

[ghostlyheiress]

Ah. Well I guess it can't be helped then.

Thanks anyway.

[firecracker_hopping]

Sorry about that.

[ghostlyheiress]

[Two minutes later]

Oh yeah.

When you do finish with whatever you're doing, would it be any trouble if I took you out for a meal? If you want, you can think of it as an apology from me to you.

[firecracker_hopping]

It's not that I don't appreciate the offer, but...

I am afraid I am in the Nenakret.
