It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

So is that why you're so useless, then? You just sit and wait for things to happen to you? That's remarkably pathetic, even for a human, and they tend to be pathetic.

[Surely he must want something in life. Otherwise he's just a waste of space. Free blood should she ever need it for a ritual, maybe. Should chain him up somewhere and he can enjoy living out his life in the misery he apparently expects.]

[proselytise]

I was speaking in a more general sense, though I appreciate your concern.

[ Although there was only so much he could do in the House. ]

[abyssalarcana]

I was too until you decided to defend such a miserable point of view as "easier". Only someone who thinks that way would act like it's a good thing.

[She's never even seen this kid show any sign of emotion other than grim acceptance and what might also just be general boredom. What would it take to make him actually angry? Not that it's even worth trying, probably unless she herself becomes that desperate for entertainment and that's hard to picture.]

[proselytise]

There's a difference between defending it and saying why people might do what they do.

[ Gosh, Caedra, it's like you don't like...talk to people about their emotions. ]

Though it's true that we can't all be like you.

[ We can't all murder our problems. ]

[abyssalarcana]

[Oh you could all be like her and she's certain some day in the future you will be. The Abyss will swallow everything back up into its great maw of entropy and violence even if it's after she has come and gone. She just hopes she can play a leading role in all of that devastation.]

Fine, Charles. I actually don't really care either way. If most people, you or others, prefer to sit around twiddling their thumbs then they will get a lot less accomplished but I suppose that just means I accomplish more. Someone has to.

[proselytise]

That's true, you must have accomplished a lot since getting here.

[ In mock-concern: ]

...you have, right?

[abyssalarcana]

I have, actually.

[No, really, she has. She's learned a lot about constructs and phones and other bits and pieces of technology and is busy writing up a summary for when she returns home. She's begun exploring the interests and abilities of some of the people here, to determine who is a threat and who might actually be helpful to her goals. And most of all, she did an initial test and found that the Abyss does reach here, even if its grasp is weak. She was able to draw other tanar'ri through. That's big - that's promising. She can send for help. She just has to figure out how to get a message, or herself, through in the other direction now.]

[proselytise]

[ aw yay for her ]

Oh? Good for you.

[ Somehow, he manages to sound almost genuine. He isn't, but he sounds like he is. ]

[abyssalarcana]

[She stares at him a moment and then shakes her head at her plate. There is nothing to be gained from this and already she has put up with him for too long. So she stands, gathering her dishes.]

Go find someone else to bother.

[And if he doesn't follow that recommendation, well - she doesn't want to cause a stir at this nice party but she can certainly move both of them somewhere else.]

[proselytise]

[ Nah, he'll just wave goodbye and let that be that. ]
