[when he manages to find some time to himself omg Val]

So you know how you fucked off and became Asha and didn't tell me?

Well guess what I did yesterday.


[that evening]

[E-mail: Duncan]

You still having trouble with that god-tree?

[E-mail: Lera, Harriet]

You guys are each down a guild member just thought you should know! 8D

I didn't tell you because I thought you were going to hate me or something, and...

Wait.

Does that mean you're a guild leader now?

[andlivefreely]

I was more upset that you didn't tell me but that doesn't matter now

Yup 8)

[turnsteptwirl]

I told you eventually. :( That has to count for something, right?

Are you going to tell me which one of us you are or are you going to make me guess?

[andlivefreely]

You told me because I found out you weren't on Earth when I couldn't text you, that hardly counts!

The one that everyone hates 8D

[turnsteptwirl]

I would have told you sooner. I just didn't know how to tell you that I wouldn't be able to come back. I seriously agonized over how to tell you that for a week, honey. :(

Please tell me that means Medena decided you got the womb, because the only other option I can think of is the Vairya.

[andlivefreely]

You know you really gotta quit thinking about shit so much and just do shit.

I don't think people hate the Vairya as much as they did Aerveas, but I could be totally wrong.

[turnsteptwirl]

Hey, I'm the Asha now. Thinking is kind of what I'm supposed to do, especially since thinking apparently let me figure out how to throw meteors at the Bastan wall. Did you know mages could do that? Because I didn't.

Well, she was on his side, although Aerveas was definitely more universally hated. You should have heard the crap he was saying when we went after him, honey. I have never wanted to punch someone that badly before.

[andlivefreely]

I thought thinking was an alchemist thing and mages just threw spells around but I'm serious there are some things you just can't dwell over and gotta do or say

I heard some'a the shit he said to Val so.

Apparently the druids only made him Vohu cause they were hoping to temper him with it or something, like that being able to hear the world itself would keep him from being totally infuckingsane. By the time they realized it wasn't working he had Mezzron and they weren't about to go against a God.

I turned those teeth into a necklace btw 8)

[turnsteptwirl]

It's not just throwing spells around. There's a lot more to it than that. :( [Gabe is pouting over here, Mal, not that you can see it]

I know, I know. I just didn't want you to be too sad.

Too bad the druids' plan backfired on them. I mean, it would have been nice if he actually did his damn job and helped maintain the balance of Zenderael, but apparently, he thought once he had the god-organ, that was it or something. I don't even know. He thought he earned the right to it just because he apparently tore it out the Vohu before him.

I'm telling you, setting his corpse on fire was probably the highlight of the war for me.

Oooh, you'll have to show me at some point! I want to see!

[andlivefreely]

Throwing spells around and reading books? [he is totally messing with you gabe 8)]

I was sad you didn't tell me see that's the problem!

He got the womb because he gave them a mega offering that made their Solstice bonfire kickarse and then made a bunch of empty promises he didn't keep. Typical two-faced politician. I'm glad he had to be killed instead of imprisoned because a jail cell would've been too good for him.

[but that's because of how he treated nature more than... most everything else he did. Mal's priorities are a little skewed, perhaps.]

I'll wear it to the masquerade! Assuming I get to go, I gotta do this thing to fix the Undertow and that's kind of a priority.

[turnsteptwirl]

You're being horrible on purpose. :(

I know. I promise I won't keep things like that from you again. Okay?

We couldn't leave him alive. Are you kidding? The world's worst Vohu needed to be taken down, especially after all the crap he pulled. Ezra kind of had it out for him, anyway, since, you know, he kind of took up residence in Ezra's city and made a mess of it. I almost turned his ashes into a planter.

Oh, that's right! You can depetrify the Undertow! Rhys is going to be so happy!

[andlivefreely]

I am. 8)

You better or I'll have to get even more horrible!

Yeah didn't he do a lot of fucked up shit in Bastan besides, you know, take it over?

Not sure he'll be all that happy it's me though, but yeah, I'm getting tutored on the ritual and figuring out which druids to bring for that shit.

[turnsteptwirl]

Cross my heart and hope to die.

Oh yeah, but it's being fixed.

Why wouldn't he be happy it's you?

[andlivefreely]

Uh we kinda haven't really spoken in ages after a falling out and I'm pretty sure he doesn't think I'm all that responsible so you know, irresponsible prat for a guild leader, probably not a good thing.

[turnsteptwirl]

....you got into a fight with Rhys?

[andlivefreely]

Sort of, I guess? I'm not sure it really counts as a fight.

[turnsteptwirl]

Well, I'm sure he'll be happy to see you again, especially since you're saving his home. You know, for a little while, I was honestly convinced he was going to try to punch some of the druids to get them to do it, so...

[andlivefreely]

Pretty sure that'd just get them to not do what he wanted and hide in their little grove.

Our little grove.

Which is actually fucking massive.

Dude
I have people now
I can say 'these are my people' hahaha

[turnsteptwirl]

Yeah, exactly. (Honestly, I don't think he'd actually do it, but apart from him, most of the other berserkers I've met seem to be very... hands on kind of people.)

I know. It never really gets old. Though I still can't say "my Library" without feeling like it would smack me around if it heard me say that.

[andlivefreely]

Glad I don't need to worry about the trees smacking me around 8)

Wonder if Chief still needs that tree in his uh sitting room taken care of

[turnsteptwirl]

That's because your trees aren't sentient. Well, they kind of are with you, I guess... Just... whatever elemental you wind up using most often, promise me you won't make it explode or something?

Wait what?

[andlivefreely]

With the grove you never know, sure as hell feels sentient. But it seems to like me.

He left his gun in the sitting room and Pelusa got to it. He mentioned it on the forums somewhere.

[turnsteptwirl]

Well, that's good! :D

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. I probably wouldn't mess with it, though. It's a god-tree...

[andlivefreely]

And I'm a god-druid. 8D

[turnsteptwirl]

That doesn't mean you should mess with a tree she made. She might get mad.
