FFD6 The Dicening, Group 2, To Kill The Beast - Page 11

**McTahr** · 01-28-2011, 06:09 PM

Fie woke up from his dozing in the hall and noticed quite a bit of noise coming from one of the rooms. Interested, he meandered over to a rather interesting scene.

The two Viera looked poised to kill each other at a moment's notice, with a few of his companions trying to intervene.

Fie was having none of it.

All he'd wanted out of this was something like a bed. Fie stormed over to one of the beds, yanked off a blanket, pulled out one of the dresser drawers, and curled up inside.

"Don't wake me unless they're dying. I'll heal through all the monster wounds you want, but I can't cure stupidity."

Dracorion · 01-28-2011, 06:14 PM

He was just about ready to charge Vera when Caspin entered. And then, yes, the Hume had the gall to flirt with him. Argath was just about ready to snap.

"Get the hell away." He growled at Caspin, pointing the spear at him. "You can room alone for all I care, but you're going to give me my money if I have to take it out of your cold, dead hands!" He yelled at Vera.

"You really think it is that easy to scare me away Argie?"

He produced his knife from his coat and licked up the length of the thing before he moved to rub it against his threatening spear,

"I'm a monster hunter, a blue mage. An immortal. You will have to make a proper attempt at stabbing me if you are going to have me take you seriously."

He pulled his knife away and gave him a sigh and a shrug, shaking his head,

"Besides your threats to the thief are stupid, even if we get the lowest reward possible it will make what you are making such a big deal over look like chump change."

Docus held the bridge of his nose. Dear god, their group was dysfunctional already.

"I won't call you friends, but I will call you allies. Because, at this moment, that is what we are, whether we like it or not. And in the interest of success, we will aspire to remain allies." His hand dropped from his face, and he glanced around the room, making eye contact where he could. "Argath, Vera, I am sure there are... tensions. But if you refuse to be... mature, at the very least have the good sense to be selfish. I cannot speak for all of us, but I would be surprised if our remaining party members would let the two of you -or anyone- put the party's success and rewards at risk over a petty feud." He paused for a moment. "That is not to say that I do not wish this feud to be carried out. I have always said that there is nothing more entertaining than watching attempted emancipation. But when you start stabbing each other, that is when you threaten the party's success.

So Argath, I recommend you drop the spear before somebody gets hurt. Besides, are you saying you'd let a female provoke you this easily? You won't win, you know. At worst you get charged with murder, at best she gets you kicked out of the group and gets part of your share of the reward. Caspin, I think it'd really help the situation if you kept your dagger away from Argath's shaft. I'm sure he's quite protective of his shaft." He paused for a moment, then brightened. "You're welcome to play with my staff, though." His expression totally serious, he offered his weapon to the hume. "Take good care of that, though. I may need it later." Then he turned back to the party. "Finally, Vera, is it? I would talk to you in private."

"I'm not the one trying to stab a member of our group." Vera muttered under her breath, sneering at Argath before turning her attention to Docus.

"Ah, yeah?" She didn't really know what he wanted to talk about but making some distance between her and Argath would be good right now. She walked over to the door where Docus was, making sure to keep an eye on Argath.

Dracorion · 01-28-2011, 09:00 PM

"Tch." He gave the Tarut a calculating state. "Fine." He finally said, consenting to hold his spear at his side. "But I'm getting what's mine. One way or another."

"And at least try to get both sides of the story." He added.

Geminex · 01-28-2011, 09:31 PM

Docus grinned at Argath. "You'll find that whatever she owes you, it'll be easier to get it out of her once you both have 750 gil in your pocket. That's something to look forwards to, eh?"

Then he turned to Vera, speaking quickly and as quietly as he could. "Look, I think he's trying to prove himself. I know about Viera and gender, but... give him a chance, yes? He can't always be like this. And..." A pause, a knowing smile. "I'm sure there's better places to get some extra gil."

CelesJessa · 01-28-2011, 09:51 PM

Vera frowned, feeling much like a child who had been taken aside to try and reason with. "Maybe you should talk to him about trying to pin the entire inn's stay on me." She hissed under her breath to Docus. In her mind, she wasn't just stealing to be a terrible person, it was in retaliation for his earlier mockery and if he can't handle the heat, he should stay out of the kitchen, so to speak.

Dracorion · 01-28-2011, 10:12 PM

Docus' response was simply the drop that tipped the glass for Argath. "You know what? Screw this."

As he pushed Caspin aside and marched toward the door, he heard Vera hiss under her breath. "Well maybe you shouldn't play games no one else wants to play, princess." He said in response, as he walked out. "I'll see you all tomorrow."

Zephyr in tow, he stormed out of the inn, back into town. The sun was already starting to set. He wasn't planning on staying at the inn now. Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he swallowed his rage and put on a winning smile. Looking around, he saw his first target.

He approached the pretty girl casually with a friendly greeting. "Hi there."

-----------------
Check to have Argath spend the night with the girl?

Geminex · 01-28-2011, 10:17 PM

Docus let surprise creep across his face, partly at her response, partly at Argath's tantrum. Ah well, at least he hadn't stabbed anything. "That's what this is about? You let yourself get tricked into paying? Look, what's the rate per room? 10 gil? 15? By the dragons... give him his money back tomorrow. Or give it to me, I'll give it to him. I'll talk to the others about what is owed. And if you can lend me some now, I will pay you back with interest once we get our reward. The same goes for anyone else who happens to be broke right now, I'm sure. And from now on, if this pops up again, talk to me first. I will smooth things out, free of charge. Or just insult him, I'm sure you've got a wonderful repertoire."
