Avaritia Arrival Log

[cancrymods]

AVARITIA

It's Vegas, baby! Oh wait, I already made that joke on the location page... With Esme's iron-fisted reign brought to an end and the Executors given time to take a very well-earned break, it finally comes down to descend to the next layer of Purgatory. Thankfully, with this being the group as a whole's second descent, things are a little less nerve-wracking this time around... maybe. Hopefully. ... Probably. Welcome to Avaritia. Feel free to use this arrival log to chronicle your initial misadventures in the Greed Layer of Purgatory. As noted in the location page, several locations will require further investigation if you'd like to get some information on them, so get investigating! Drop a comment down to the Investigation Request subheader if you'd like to explore. Get out there and have fun!

And how good are you at cards, my dear? [y'all are children you should not be gambling go play a friendly children's trading card game!!!]

[emberserker]

Well, it's a common pursuit, it can't be that difficult.

[By which we mean she has no idea.]

[schardynfreude]

All those rules and variations on those rules, all that terminology, the skills and the luck--goodness, that's a lot to juggle. And in just one game alone! So many games.

[emberserker]

Now you're just being patronizing. I can learn anything. It's just that I prefer to put my talents elsewhere.

[schardynfreude]

And where do you prefer putting your talents? It certainly isn't in social endeavors, that much I've gathered.

[emberserker]

Are you insinuating something? Just because I prefer to train and make sure we aren't going to get ourselves annihilated doesn't mean I can't talk to people.

[schardynfreude]

You don't talk to people in a way that endears you to them.

[emberserker]

Do you do this to everyone you think is too sour?

[schardynfreude]

Have you known Kingslayer or Phoenix to speak kindly of me? [In other words: yeah, pretty much.]

[emberserker]

[She stiffens with a frown.] Phoenix gets along well with about anyone, and Kingslayer... well, that was just the way they communicated, wasn't it?

[schardynfreude]

Phoenix does not seem to understand friendship when it bites him quite soundly on his well-exercised backside. Or perhaps he just isn't interested in friendship? Helping everyone, yes, if it means cooking grand meals I suppose, but...

[...but this conversation is not about Phoenix.]

In any event, I'm only saying that your particular skillset is not in making friends.

[emberserker]

Don't tell me what I'm good or not good at. I believe I can find that for myself. [She glares.] And at least I haven't run around beating up my allies like some of us.

[schardynfreude]

Perhaps we should focus back on cards. Before you become even more frustrated with me than usual.

[emberserker]

Fine, are you good at gambling, then? And if not, what would you propose?

[schardynfreude]

I haven't the faintest. [Said in quite the chipper tone!] I think I'm about to find out, however. Seems I have at least a working knowledge of some games. I think I'll start by simply looking around and getting a feel for the city, work out what makes it tick.

Winging it, essentially.

[emberserker]

I'll leave you to it, then. As for myself, I'll be investigating the area. Surely something will turn up sooner or later.

[schardynfreude]

It's what we do. Someone will stumble into trouble soon enough, surely, and then call the rest of us to arms.

[emberserker]

At the very least, most of us know not to get killed now.
