Avaritia Arrival Log

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!

[A snort of laughter. Everything? Pfft what a silly question!]

Uh specifically like, right now, I... We were talking about Lion.

[Holup did he miss something?]

[schardynfreude]

You said you two are good now. And you were particularly cozy when last I saw you together. Is there more trouble brewing?

[heir_to_ruin]

No. I.... thought that's what you were going to give me a shovel talk about! You know, how I should "keep my no-good hands off him" or something. [Right? Obviously. Surely the only reason Chiron didn't do it immediately after the fact was that Lion had torn up his face. Clearly no reason to worry about it then.

But now...?]

[schardynfreude]

...Ruin, you may have been too tired at the time to truly absorb what was said, but you do know you haven't done anything to make anyone of us think you're no good.

[heir_to_ruin]

[But...? He looks legitimately confused by that. It's one thing to offer platitudes when he was injured, sure, but there was no reason to now. The confusion is there and gone again in a blink, smile turning sheepish.]

Yeah, yeah~

[Dismissive, noncommittal. Positive comments about him are just... uncomfortable. How is he supposed to respond to that? It's not like he can just lie and accept it but other people get awkward when he denies it. It's so much easier to just wheedle and get under people's skin so they yell at him. At least people that matter.]

Either way it's really too bad about the rain... and the noise. This place could be great. We'll have to drag them down here eventually, y'know.

[schardynfreude]

[A frown. Light, but present.] I do wish I knew where this came from, this dismissal of yourself, so that I could convince you of your own worth.

[heir_to_ruin]

[O-oh... uh... He just shrugs awkwardly]

It's... really nothing to worry about, Chiron. Promise.

[schardynfreude]

Oh, that is quite the wrong thing to say, unfortunately. That only makes me worry all the more, and I'm afraid there's little to be done about it but to continue to look out for you.

[heir_to_ruin]

[WHAT IS HE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT!?]

R-right... um... D'you... wanna help me find something stupid to cheer up Lion or...?

[He cannot handle this line of conversation anymore. So he's just... not. Come look at cheesy merch for their big dumb kitten.]

[schardynfreude]

Absolutely. I've no idea how he'll react to kitschy memorabilia, but it can hardly hurt.
