DIFFICULT? All these attacks on my character, and I don't even get the courtesy of printed tripe in the Mouth? I am offended.

Wounded, even.

[wizardsplain]

Perhaps you would have found 'challenging' a more flattering descriptor.

If you really intend to be like this, then I suppose I'm left with no choice but to negotiate. What do you want for it?

[caligulan]

Pity I don't have it; I need a new crossbow, approximately 50 gold, and dye that is not of the muddy or green variety...

[wizardsplain]

50 gold! You do realize that if my condition worsens, you won't have opportunity to use that crossbow at all, on account of being caught in the explosion of necrotic energy.

I can offer you a dye. Crimson. I was considering offering it to you anyway, since it seems to suit your particular aesthetic more than mine.

[caligulan]

Gale, this thought exercise should not include something you'd hand over anyway. Where's your bargaining spirit?

40; purely metaphorical of course.

[wizardsplain]

Astarion. This is not a joking matter.

[caligulan]

35 for taking things entirely too seriously.

[wizardsplain]

If I had 35 gold on my person, don't you think I would use it to purchase my own trinket rather than squabble with you over an amulet?

-- And, if anything, I'm not taking it seriously enough. With so much at risk, perhaps I should have simply taken it back instead of attempting to negotiate.

[caligulan]

Oh, take the fun out of everything why don't you?

Fine. You can have your metaphoric locket that I assuredly never stole back at a metaphoric time tonight when there are no eyes on this entirely fictional exchange.

[wizardsplain]

Thank you, Astarion. But I'm afraid I may not be able to wait until tonight. I've done my best to prolong the time that passes between absorbing the artifacts' energy, but the orb's hunger is growing unbearable.

[caligulan]

How very convenient for you that the orb is seemingly ungovernable. Ridiculous.

FINE. But I am never--and I will only repeat this once, NEVER--going to suffer the inconvenience again.

[wizardsplain]

If I could govern the orb I most certainly would!

But thank you, I suppose, for suffering the unconscionable inconvenience of stopping a mass casualty event -- that would include yourself, I might add.

[caligulan]

Yes, yes, we're all going to die. As if we don't hear this three times a day.

[wizardsplain]

I apologize if you find my efforts to avert certain disaster tiresome. I assure you, the last year has not been enjoyable for me. You have no idea the caliber of magical artifacts turned to mundanity to feed the orb.

Surely you, of all people, can understand hunger.

[caligulan]

We're comparing urges now, are we? HONESTLY.

[wizardsplain]

Comparing, no. Finding common ground in our shared experience!

[caligulan]

I would say my own don't single handedly affect the entire economy of the Sword Coast, but...even I couldn't keep a straight face doing so.

You're not getting an apology out of me.
