>>6102158Well, you sigh, you uh... you joined The Lamplighters recently-
"Lamplighters?" Replies the green-eyed girl as she cocks her head to the side, "In Crossroads, right? The vigilante group led by that insane Sko-oh. Oooh...."
As the realization settles in for TT, Volka lets out a low chuckle as she slams her tankard on the table. "That's right! Say hello to our fif-err, <span class="mu-i">fourth</span> member!"
"Didn't you used to have six?" Asks the Spinner, eliciting a sudden coughing fit from your Grand Marshall, "Ohhh, so THAT'S why the guards cordoned off the canals last week.... y'know, they found a <span class="mu-i">LOT</span> of organs-"
"Y-yea, well..." Stammers Volka as she drains the rest of her replacement drinks, "Big talk from a Spinner who's only famous for getting her patrons killed!"
TT's eyes widen as the table around you quiets down. "That's SLANDER and you know it! Why would I willingly get my patrons killed, hmm? Lousy business model for a professional who relies on PR!"
"You tell me!" Counters Volka with fire in her yellow eyes! "I lost some good drinking mates thanks to your little grift--same story every time I ask around! 'Oh, he went off with that Ta-Tee girl! Said he was gonna strike it big!' Please...'" She scoffs with a derisive snort!
"It's a dangerous occupation!" TT counters as she haughtily sticks her tongue out! "What, are you gonna blame the Waitress if you drink yourself to death!? The Innkeeper?!"
"HAH! Not possible!" Boasts Volka as she rises from her seat to her full, hulking height and gives her bare stomach a loud slap! "I've got an iron stomach!"
"And a hollow head!" Snarls the Spinner as she bares her fangs!
"You're gonna <span class="mu-i">LOSE</span> yours if you keep barking!" Roars your guide, the sheer volume sending your hair on end!
"Wait til' you see my <span class="mu-s">BITE!</span>"
Politely sipping your drink between the two ladies, you quietly contemplate if you should go for your Roast or not. Part of you wouldn't mind seeing these two fight, especially if it involves wrestling, but the kinder and far more boring parts know you should probably stop them before they break something... or some<span class="mu-i">one</span>. Like you.
Now that you think about it, you can't really watch them, so what's the point?
What do?
>Nothing. Let 'em hash it out themselves! You've got food to eat!>Distract them!>Cool it, TT, or the deal's off!>Both of you CHIILL!>Volka, simmer down!>Salty Suutz! Other Guy! Get 'em!>Write-In!
