Wildfire Riders

A pink-hairdyed night elf walks into a bar.

5/7 20:39:12.971 Ilanna says: So. There y'are, then, glowy as ever.
5/7 20:39:34.160 Varenna says: Hello, ma'am. Er. I- it's a blessing. From O'ros.
5/7 20:40:04.176 Ilanna says: Thought I detected the sweet sound of jingling, atop your own dulcet tones.
5/7 20:40:29.013 Varenna nods timidly; blushes. She has dulcet tones?
5/7 20:40:46.172 Varenna says: I- w-what can I do for you, ma'am?
5/7 20:41:09.286 Ilanna eyes Varenna evenly.
5/7 20:41:33.101 Varenna says: ....Ma'am?
5/7 20:42:08.484 Ilanna says: How's one go about joining the Crusade, Lady Sunshine?
5/7 20:42:12.868 Varenna blinks her eyes.
5/7 20:42:26.673 Varenna says: Th-
5/7 20:42:31.980 Ilanna says: Yours. If you please.
5/7 20:42:53.160 Ilanna licks her lips nervously.
5/7 20:43:49.476 Varenna says: W- Er. Well. ...Th- the Crusade is always looking for the help of new associates, ma'am...
5/7 20:44:03.036 Ilanna says: That ain't what I meant, Shiny.
5/7 20:44:08.217 Varenna flinches.
5/7 20:44:12.180 Varenna says: I- I know, ma'am. Er.
5/7 20:44:18.793 Varenna says: ....I guess I'm confused why you're asking.
5/7 20:45:02.392 Ilanna says: A girl can't feel warm fuzzy feelings of benevolence, huh? Goodwill twards her fellow whatevers and a desire to face down the faces of evil, brass knuckles first?
5/7 20:45:29.009 Varenna says: Well. She.. she /can/, ma'am, but...
5/7 20:45:44.410 Ilanna says: But I'm not the type.
5/7 20:46:02.548 Ilanna kicks her feet up on the table and sets about unwrapping a peppermint from its plastic krinklies.
5/7 20:46:41.985 Varenna says: Something like that ma'am, yes. You don't strike me as the armor and beams of Light type, ma'am.
5/7 20:46:54.511 Ilanna says: I useta be...
5/7 20:47:04.373 Varenna says: I used to want to be an archmage when I grew up, ma'am.
5/7 20:47:35.887 Ilanna says: Well?
5/7 20:47:48.052 Ilanna pops the peppermint into her mouth.
5/7 20:47:59.193 Varenna says: ...Well what, ma'am?
5/7 20:48:19.148 Ilanna says: Did ya?
5/7 20:48:39.067 Varenna says: ...Obviously not, ma'am.
5/7 20:48:48.550 Ilanna says: You /coulda/, though.
5/7 20:49:00.745 Varenna says: W- well, yes, but...
5/7 20:49:20.112 Ilanna shakes her head. Her braid bounces.
5/7 20:49:26.011 Ilanna says: No.
5/7 20:49:33.943 Varenna says: No?
5/7 20:51:21.511 Ilanna says: I don't wanna be a plated badass like yourself, darlin. I just want to help.
5/7 20:51:32.862 Varenna frowns at Ilanna.
5/7 20:52:20.813 Ilanna flattens her ears pathetically.
5/7 20:52:54.692 Varenna says: ....
5/7 20:54:05.164 Varenna says: The actual core of the order is the Hands, ma'am. Er. Silver Hand. Th-those are handpicked by High Lord Fordring himself.
5/7 20:54:13.395 Ilanna says: Like yourownself.
5/7 20:55:20.550 Varenna says: Yes ma'am. Er. B- but you aren't a paladin anyway, so that doesn't matter. There are plenty of other Crusaders who have diverse skills er. ...such as yours. ...A place could probably be found for you.
5/7 20:56:13.840 Varenna says: Reconnaissance, infiltration. Er. Th-things like that.
5/7 20:57:40.803 Ilanna nods.
5/7 20:57:44.503 Ilanna says: I know how to do that stuff fine. 've actually worked with the Dawn before on it, back when the Portal opened on Outland.
5/7 20:57:48.316 Varenna blinks her eyes.
5/7 20:57:57.686 Varenna says: I- I didn't know that, ma'am.
5/7 20:58:47.803 Ilanna says: Mhm. Still got my insignia. Knight-Lieutenant Ilanna Stormrunner of the Alliance.
5/7 20:58:50.970 Ilanna giggles.
5/7 20:58:59.582 Varenna says: Huh.
5/7 20:59:20.907 Varenna says: ..I- I don't know that it would be good to mention that, ma'am. Er. ...I don't know that the Crusade would want to induct....
5/7 20:59:34.493 Ilanna says: They can have Miss Nightbreeze, darlin. No worries, I know.
5/7 20:59:53.074 Varenna nods.
5/7 21:00:14.976 Varenna says: I- I'll send off a letter, ma'am. Er. O- or two. Is that alright?
5/7 21:00:29.081 Ilanna nods gratefully.
5/7 21:00:34.781 Ilanna says: Thanks, Shiny.
5/7 21:00:48.514 Ilanna hugs Varenna.
5/7 21:00:54.510 Varenna squeaks, flinches uncomfortably.
5/7 21:01:07.486 Varenna says: I-is there anythingelseIcandoforyouma'am?
5/7 21:01:25.367 Ilanna says: Nope, that's all. All I wanted.
5/7 21:01:51.415 Varenna nods timidly, otherwise frozen in the hug.
5/7 21:01:59.353 Ilanna giggles.
5/7 21:02:01.947 Ilanna says: See ya then.
5/7 21:02:14.171 Ilanna ruffles Varenna's hair and walks off.
5/7 21:02:21.095 Varenna says: ...
5/7 21:02:22.782 Varenna whimpers.

5/9 16:56:13.926 Ilanna eyes Ilarra up and down.
5/9 16:56:17.470 Ilarra smiles at Ilanna.
5/9 16:58:34.863 Ilanna shakes her head and flops into a seat.
5/9 16:59:04.124 Ilanna says: So... a brothel, Sis? Really?
5/9 16:59:14.808 Ilarra says: No. It's a place of comfort and-
5/9 16:59:16.872 Ilanna says: A brothel.
5/9 16:59:23.416 Ilarra says: ...Well, yeah.
5/9 16:59:28.887 Ilarra digs in her dress for a cigarette.
5/9 16:59:34.789 Ilarra says: But a classy one.
5/9 16:59:46.730 Ilanna says: Sure. Doesn't seem like you, though.
5/9 17:00:02.091 Ilarra says: No?
5/9 17:00:17.369 Ilanna shakes her head; watches Ilarra light her cigarette.
5/9 17:00:30.877 Ilanna says: Or rather, it seems /like/ you, but isn't. You're not a businesswoman.
5/9 17:00:43.727 Ilarra says: It's right up my alley.
5/9 17:01:00.292 Ilanna says: If you had one, which you don't... No innuendos, please. --Not like you need the money.
5/9 17:01:25.068 Ilarra says: Maybe there's an investment you don't know about.
5/9 17:01:46.171 Ilanna says: Nope.
5/9 17:01:51.852 Ilanna kicks her feet up on the table.
5/9 17:02:00.678 Ilarra looks annoyed.
5/9 17:02:12.962 Ilarra says: What do you mean nope. You can't just nope me.
5/9 17:02:21.467 Ilanna says: Sure I can.
5/9 17:02:24.217 Ilanna clears her throat.
5/9 17:02:25.718 Ilanna says: Nope.
5/9 17:02:32.786 Ilarra says: Bitch.
5/9 17:02:34.571 Ilanna says: Slut.
5/9 17:02:43.686 Ilarra says: Yep. But a business-slut.
5/9 17:02:51.597 Ilanna giggles.
5/9 17:03:11.258 Ilanna says: Nope. You don't work that way, Sis.
5/9 17:03:51.027 Ilarra says: 's getting annoying, Sister dear. Girl can't have a brothel just for the sake of having a brothel?
5/9 17:04:00.660 Ilanna says: Not when it's you.
5/9 17:04:11.971 Ilarra says: So you're accusing me of having ulterior motives.
5/9 17:04:12.659 Ilanna says: Yes, I am.
5/9 17:04:49.566 Ilarra says: ...Hmph.
5/9 17:05:01.017 Ilanna giggles battily.
5/9 17:05:02.464 Ilarra giggles shrilly.
5/9 17:05:07.997 Ilarra says: ...So what if I do, then?
5/9 17:05:40.744 Ilanna says: So don't hurt anybody we like.
5/9 17:05:48.182 Ilarra snorts.
5/9 17:05:54.932 Ilanna reaches over and pinches out Ilarra's cigarette.
5/9 17:06:01.171 Ilarra says: ...Bitch.
5/9 17:06:02.477 Ilanna says: Slut.

5/9 17:27:24.159 Ilarra looks up from her new cigarette.
5/9 17:27:27.063 Ilarra says: Now what?
5/9 17:27:32.607 Ilanna says: 's brilliant.
5/9 17:27:37.337 Ilanna kicks her feet up onto the table.
5/9 17:27:39.063 Ilarra says: What?
5/9 17:27:44.538 Ilanna says: 's brilliant.
5/9 17:27:48.359 Ilarra says: ..What is?
5/9 17:28:00.369 Ilanna says: You. I shoulda thought of it. I probly woulda, 'f I was as evil and as lonely as you.
5/9 17:28:25.253 Ilarra smokes her cigarette deliberately.
5/9 17:28:30.185 Ilarra says: Explain.
5/9 17:28:47.649 Ilanna says: 's not a business. It's a lair.
5/9 17:28:56.744 Ilanna looks tremendously self-satisfied at this realization.
5/9 17:29:16.261 Ilarra says: Is it, now.
5/9 17:29:22.507 Ilanna says: Yup. A lair.
5/9 17:29:24.238 Ilanna giggles.
5/9 17:29:51.236 Ilarra adjusts her glasses.
5/9 17:29:56.850 Ilanna giggles again.
5/9 17:30:46.956 Ilanna says: You thrive on people. And on sex. Surprise, Ms. Stratholme Syndrome. And I bet you're gonna live there. --No, already moved in.
5/9 17:30:54.605 Ilarra says: ...Yes.
5/9 17:31:00.626 Ilanna giggles.
5/9 17:31:27.893 Ilanna says: So now you've got both sex and people brought right to you, there whenever you want. And-- ooh. /And/.
5/9 17:31:36.274 Ilanna giggles brighter.
5/9 17:31:39.606 Ilarra squirms a little.
5/9 17:32:41.315 Ilanna says: -And- people know that businesses such as yours tend twards unlawfulness in some ways. 'Tisn't a wholesome sort of place, people know that-- which means they won't be lookin' too hard at what goes on there, 'cause they think they know already and 'cause it makes 'em uncomfortable.
5/9 17:33:12.666 Ilarra says: Well...
5/9 17:33:19.864 Ilanna says: I bet there's secret rooms. You could get away with anything, with that level of freedom, people lookin' at you but not actua'ly seein' 'cause they're too busy bein' offended and morally whatevered.
5/9 17:33:24.156 Ilarra shuts up abruptly.
5/9 17:33:28.239 Ilanna smirks.
5/9 17:34:03.100 Ilanna says: Yup. Secret rooms... mm, no. A whole basement level, I bet. Underground again, Ms. Stratholme?
5/9 17:34:12.146 Ilarra says: Stop callin' me that.
5/9 17:34:17.751 Ilarra stubs her cigarette out on the table.
5/9 17:34:42.948 Ilanna keeps smirking.
5/9 17:34:47.296 Ilanna says: Does Geny know?
5/9 17:35:01.848 Ilarra says: What?
5/9 17:35:27.657 Ilanna says: That it's just a sophisticated misdirection. Does she know? She'll own half, I expect. Like with the Feather.
5/9 17:35:53.149 Ilarra says: Yes. And-- no. It's just a business, Sis.
5/9 17:36:01.647 Ilanna says: Sure...
5/9 17:36:04.710 Ilanna giggles louder.
5/9 17:36:10.464 Ilarra says: Bitch.

6/16 22:03:50.607 Keiana stops; turns.
6/16 22:04:04.418 Keiana says: Hey, Lady Sunshine.
6/16 22:04:07.074 Varenna flinches.
6/16 22:04:31.885 Varenna says: Private Reeds. Er.
6/16 22:04:44.643 Varenna peers at the enormous turtle.
6/16 22:05:05.453 Varenna says: ...I don't think I've met y-your friend.
6/16 22:05:19.690 Keiana says: Tort.
6/16 22:05:32.300 Varenna says: ...Tort?
6/16 22:05:44.412 Keiana says: ..Yeah?
6/16 22:06:18.196 Keiana pats the turtle - Tort - on its armored head. It stares at Varenna and goes: "Blark." This is a perfectly ordinary turtle sound to make.
6/16 22:06:26.053 Varenna squeaks and ducks behind her chair.
6/16 22:06:49.358 Keiana says: ... What's wrong with Tort?
6/16 22:07:17.098 Varenna raises her head cautiously.
6/16 22:07:22.889 Varenna says: N-nothing.
6/16 22:07:35.803 Keiana says: Well what's weird about it then? You made a face.
6/16 22:07:43.075 Varenna says: It- it just
6/16 22:07:48.904 Keiana says: ...Yeah?
6/16 22:08:18.773 Varenna says: Er. Isn't it a little obvious?
6/16 22:08:26.071 Keiana stares Varenna down.
6/16 22:08:29.276 Varenna cringes.
6/16 22:09:51.691 Keiana stares at the paladin.
6/16 22:10:04.912 Keiana digs in her pocket for a battered cigarette.
6/16 22:10:39.390 Keiana says: The shit's that obvious?
6/16 22:10:59.372 Varenna watches the smoke go up, and the turtle. The turtle is still staring at her.
6/16 22:11:23.486 Varenna says: It.. it's like having a dog named er. Dog.
6/16 22:11:50.617 Keiana says: No it ain't.
6/16 22:12:06.455 Varenna says: But-
6/16 22:12:23.408 Keiana says: No.
6/16 22:12:36.501 Keiana says: That'd be if I'd named him something like uh...
6/16 22:12:45.982 Keiana says a gibberish word in Darnassian.
6/16 22:13:04.094 Varenna blinks her eyes.
6/16 22:13:17.498 Varenna says: What's that..?
6/16 22:13:33.501 Keiana says: What he is. Scales, shell, and stuff?
6/16 22:13:46.991 Keiana stares at Varenna like she might be insane.
6/16 22:14:24.649 Varenna says: But... In- in common, a tort is-
6/16 22:14:43.912 Keiana says: --"A wrongful act, not including a breach of contract or trust, that results in injury to another's person, property, reputation, or the like, and for which the injured party is entitled to compensation."
6/16 22:14:46.711 Keiana grins proudly around her cigarette.
6/16 22:14:49.549 Keiana says: I looked it up. It's a legal term.
6/16 22:14:52.987 Varenna says: ...
6/16 22:15:33.190 Keiana stares at Varenna. So does Tort, and goes: "Blark" again.
6/16 22:15:41.804 Keiana says: ...It mean somethin' else?
6/16 22:15:48.436 Varenna says: I.. I guess not.
6/16 22:16:10.684 Varenna sits in her chair again, with a giggle.
6/16 22:16:22.802 Keiana says: You're fuckweird sometimes, lady.
6/16 22:17:01.815 Varenna says: I know.
6/16 22:17:18.493 Varenna sighs, then yelps as Tort the tortle sets its scaly head in her lap.
6/16 22:17:21.811 Keiana laughs.
6/16 22:17:31.213 Keiana says: Think he likes ya.
6/16 22:17:40.444 Varenna says: W- why?!
6/16 22:18:31.246 Keiana says: Well.. You're kinda cute. And armored, like he is. Maybe he's thinkin'...
6/16 22:18:43.552 Varenna goes wide-eyed in horror.
6/16 22:18:54.744 Varenna says: I AM NOT A GIRL TURTLE!
Varenna casts Divine Shield.
Varenna gains Varenna's Divine Shield.
Varenna is afflicted by Varenna's Forbearance.
Varenna begins casting Hearthstone.
Varenna's Divine Shield fades from Varenna.
6/16 22:19:05.013 Keiana says: ....That chick is too damn high strung.
