new character, voice test, still waiting on some important details.

[never_forget]

Mensch.

I don't know what you're implying, but there is no way I'm going to comply. I can squish you under my thumb at any given moment, break every bone in your body without laying a hand on you and turn your muscles inside out. You can't convince me to play these games. I'm not the pawn here, and you seem to be forgetting that important detail.

Secondly, that is not me. This other 'PB,' as you call it, doesn't look like me, either. This should be your first clue that trying to start something with me will be futile. No one is going to know who I am-which is my intent all along- and they're not going to know what I truly look like.

Give it up.

always fun <3

[letsgetdrunk]

Then he is the one in control.

[never_forget]

-=A slow smile on his face=-

As it should be. But until then, it's my game.

[letsgetdrunk]

[she matches with one of her own]

Is it a game you can win?

[never_forget]

Of course. There's no doubt in my mind that I will win. It is how things were supposed to be anyway.

[letsgetdrunk]

Then play the cards, roll the dice - whichever analogy you prefer.

[never_forget]

No. She -=And he points vaguely with a bandaged hand that just shows his fingers. Oddly enough, there's a bandage around his throat too.=- is supposed to be the one rolling the dice. Not I.

[letsgetdrunk]

So far they're rolling towards injury. An injured active is a worthless active.

[never_forget]

What is an active?

[letsgetdrunk]

In this case, you. You are sent on engagements on the behalf of someone for their gain.

[never_forget]

A scout. -=He decides not to correct her on the injury.=-

Trust me, even in this state, I'm more than capable of handling myself and what meager resistance the mensch might have.

[letsgetdrunk]

Also a valid use of an active, but let's not argue the semantics, shall we?

What - or whom - are this 'mensch'?

[never_forget]

-=Now he looks amused.=-

The lesser beings. Humans, Elves, Dwarves. You happen to be one yourself.

[letsgetdrunk]

There are worse things to be than a human with full faculty.

[never_forget]

Yes, there definitely could be. -=Sartan comes to mind.=-

[letsgetdrunk]

So, if you are not human, what are you?

[never_forget]

That's none of your concern. Are you trapped in one of these games that the mensch play?

[letsgetdrunk]

[She smirks]

That would be none of your concern.

[never_forget]

I suppose you're allowed to keep your secrets for now.

[letsgetdrunk]

I always do.

[never_forget]

I'm not concerned. My Lord will find out those secrets.

[letsgetdrunk]

He can try.

[never_forget]

There won't be much effort used. Mensch are weak compared to my Lord.

[letsgetdrunk]

So, who is this Lord of yours?

[never_forget]

He is Lord of the Nexus, one of the first of my people to escape the prison that our enemies trapped us within and left us for dead.

[letsgetdrunk]

That is a new one to my knowledge. What was the prison constructed of?
