Campaign Thread VI: Hippos are cute until you realize they poop...

[bhu]

Without raising his voice the slighest Bill answers in a voice that grows more steely as he goes. Lady, this hippo lost his biological mother recently and he has found all the love and care she could have offered him in the incarnation of goodness that is Cusic here. Until the point where he can fend for himself he is entirely dependent on her as his new mother and if you separate them I am sure both would be heartbroken, but I could only guarantee the survival of Cusic. So unless you can rewrite history by bringing back the dead and retrain the natural imprinting behaviour that has already taken its course I am going to have to ask you to calm down or leave our property.Bill takes a deep breath and in a voice that is calm once again he adds an afterthought As for the chickens you may or may not see strolling around the area, they were left here through pure chance and we will treat them nicely

"Pets are slaves." *looks defiant*

"I still say it's racist calling us a mob.  Racist squirrel employin' motherfuckers...now where was i...oh yes.  I'm here to ensure you're Guild doesn't discriminate against people of uncommon race."

I don't plan on it, and most of the other founders don't seem to plan on it. While some of our employes may be bias'd, the group as a whole is not. Giving our employees leeway in their actions doesn't make the group racist.

"Well...we'll be watching.  Don't you forget who we are."

Promptly leaves before you can ask who he are and the next one steps up

"Prostitution is the enslavement of women and we demand it cease.  This building must be burnt to the ground as an example to the other sinners of this city."

Quick OOC question. Is our secretary/lawyer within my telepathy range (I'd know due to mindsight)?
if so:
 Is demanding my home be burn down sufficient to count as issuing threats or something of that nature?

[bhu]

she is

"Ask her to clarify that statement, if we can take it out of context we can ask for a legal restraint."

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Seeming to ignore the guard girls for a moment, Zach turns to his companions. "Bigsley, Teo, would either of you prefer to speak with her? Otherwise, I can take point. I'll even agree to leave my blades at the door, if it would make these guards less shaken."

[bhu]

Zachary, irritated looking, pushes up next to Ceus. "I can attempt to assist..."

Giving a slight nod of his head to the anti-prostitution client, Zachary indicates towards the next in line. "I'll take the next client."

ooc: I had thought you were going with bigsley and teo to the medusas.

"Prostitution is the enslavement of women and we demand it cease.  This building must be burnt to the ground as an example to the other sinners of this city."

Right, there is clearly a major disconnect here. Can you explain in more detail, perhaps including why the building must be burnt down after just being renovated?

I shouldn't read before dinner and post after.  Fixed the last post.

Sorry to complicate things!

Is no problem *hugs*

"Oh no you can bring 'em.  I mean we could obviously take you, we just thought you brought him to make trouble cause lot's of Golem's are immune to stoning.  We're hoping you have good news."

You are swiftly taken to Clarice who appears to be getting hammered on wine.  "Ah you have news for me perhaps?"

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Zach smells the wine, and bows as he approaches Clarice. "We do. How have you been, Clarice?"

Funny, the way I heard it, the velvet fist was a godsend to many of the less traditional people here. And last time it was 'Destroyed' some rather unpleasant things happened to those responsible.

"Yes, Zach, why don't you take point. I'm not entire sure of our objective here."

"Yer new girlfriend wins any arguments.  Yer a new Guild unfamiliar with the way things work.  People will try to take advantage so assume they're bullshittin'.  Or at least not telling you everything in hopes you'll agree to the job before finding out teh full details.  Yer house is haunted, find a way to live with them.  Clerics have tried getting rid of them in the past.  You do know your secretary is a vampire right?"

"Pets are slaves." *looks defiant*

Much like yourself I am not overly fond of people who keep animals just because they can. But would you see rather see him dead than alive and happy? It is a simple question. If you answer it in a satisfactory way I will even give you an apple *gives the fruit basket a little shake*

Zach smells the wine, and bows as he approaches Clarice. "We do. How have you been, Clarice?"

"Depressed.  The elections could be going better.  My job is on hold while I'm being 'investigated' for hiring  you."

A guard leans in and whispers "Yer objective is not gettin' stoned..."
