So, another dimension, far, far away from home? Grand.

What's the best bar around here? I know it's first light here but it's well past noon back home, and I'm obviously very distraught. Use concrete examples. "I like ABC Bar because you don't stick to the floor." "XYZ is good because they don't care to ask any questions." That sort of thing. I believe in you, Vallo.

Name's Tal. This is very okay.

	It is, but if you make nice with the owner, he might give you some horrible accident of liquor from a shipment. You can probably get free food somewhere too, but you only asked about the bar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? I specialize in horrible accidents. Haven't gotten to food yet. Who're you then? Part of the welcome wagon? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Serefin Meleski ~~High Pr~~ and I only welcome those looking for alcohol. I have never heard of anyone specializing in horrible accidents. Do you seek them out, trying to top the last one? What is your threshold? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good job. Very welcoming. Well, this morning I broke up with my boyfriend (who didn't actually consider himself my boyfriend) because he'd lied about being a goddamn Old God, so that's the baseline we're working with. Everything else falls into place from there. You need more stories or can I pass for a disaster in peace? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~What old god was he~~ Oh, you'll fit right in here. With that story, you could probably get two free drinks. I don't need any more proof of your penchant for disaster, but you're about to open yourself up to several nosy Outlanders. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Awesome; I'll see if I can work up a stoic lump in my throat. Whatever. Don't really care if I'm honest. You'd think this place would be entertaining enough on its own with the kind of roster I saw when I was welcomed. Prince This, Goddess That. Don't you guys have bards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There might be one or two bards found on Thursday nights at the bar. People don't pay much attention to titles here. You could say you were a prince and no one would care. Vallo is an excellent place for reinvention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	negativespace 2020-10-04 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, that'd track, if it's amateur night. Definitely not a prince. Just noble No. 7 and as of late, probably not even that much. You-- like it here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	meleski 2020-10-04 04:16 pm UTC (link)
	How do you gain such a rank? Fight the others until one of you is first? And I would be a liar if I said I didn't like it here. No one is trying to kill me and it is much warmer than home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	negativespace 2020-10-04 04:20 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, If fighting to be Lord Dickhead is your thing. I fucked off ages ago. What's the point? I don't want to be the first with my head on the chopping block when the political tide turns for the umpteenth time. Yeah, noticed the weather. Don't hate it. You piss off anyone I'd have heard of? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	meleski 2020-10-04 04:32 pm UTC (link)
	It must have appealed to you at some point to have gained as high ranking as seven. What made you fuck off other than political unrest? That question depends. You're not secretly Kalyazi, are you? The whole country would see me dead and I cannot keep up with them all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm seven out of seven. The rest are all my brothers and sisters. As for the fucking off, I kinda helped get my uncle killed, and it was definitely not a whoopsie. Don't feel sorry for him; he was a total militant asshat, but the whole thing was exhausting and it only got worse from there. Did you know that if you help assassinate someone you gotta step up and deal with the new power? Fuck.

Whole country? Damn, you're thorough as hell. Nah, I'm not whatever that is. Tlaanthothei, sure, but that just means ears and the coloring.

Definitely not a whoopsie. Do not worry, I harbor no sympathy for militant asshats since I know far too many I would have eager to be rid of myself. But I would assume that assassinating any member of your family would be exhausting. I would have quit in the planning stages. You must be an exciting addition to every family gathering.

I am the Lord Dickhead of its enemy country. It is very easy to be thorough by just existing.

	They're torn between pretending to be upset and delighted that there's a power vacuum. I just make my least-favorite date test my food when we do family gatherings. Ah. War? Are they invading or are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	meleski 2020-10-05 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	Are you running out of willing dates? I assume that bit of information might make people skeptical. Yes, war. And we are. Or were. I'm not exactly positive about where we landed after I arrived here. It was going mostly well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd be surprised the thirst to be in center of things. Or rather... you probably wouldn't. NIce. Great? Rah rah, you people. Why? Religious bullshit? Border disputes? It's a Saturday, might as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	meleski 2020-10-05 02:05 pm UTC (link)
	Many wouldn't be willing to risk death for attention, but who am I to judge? I suppose a little of all three. More religious, some border, and it did get horribly boring on the front for months on end. We had to make our own entertainment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Win some, lose some violently. War's so predictable. I dated one of my uncle's commanders for a bit. Standing around, staring at maps with tiny little pieces on them, only taking breaks to feed someone to a giant snake... mind-numbing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
