You’ve got to be shitting me. Once wasn’t enough? I’ve got to be uprooted from my life and shoved into some place with people in charge who are claiming it’s for my own good but really they don’t give a fuck twice? Or is this actually the place people go when they’ve been ‘rehabilitated’? Because I’ve gotta say, I prefer the facility. At least there we had electricity.

And also? Why the hell are you picking on us? We’re not a major player. We’re not even a secondary player. Shit, go pick on the New Era or the Fists or the fucking Suits. And why me? I’m retired, damn it, it’s not gonna be making that big of an impact. Why not Pride? Everyone’d fall apart without Pride making decisions. ‘Ahh, Pride’s not here to tell us what to eat for breakfast today, we’re doomed!’ ‘Oh, let’s go ask Wrath, she’ll know what to do.’ The hell would I be knowing what to do?

[There’s a pause as she realizes she’s gone on a bit of a tirade.]

Look. If I break the law again, will you send me back?

[The tone of her voice says she doesn’t expect an answer, and she sighs.]

Tell me the rest of this place isn’t as medieval as the room I woke up in? Irritating as it’s going to be having to rebuild my shop, it’ll be even worse without one at all.

[She doesn’t sound very hopeful about that, either.]

I’m going to have to ride a horse to the village or whatever to buy my groceries and shit, aren’t I?

Hell.

Is there at least ocean access here?

Well there's a smithy around here that I'm trying to get up and running. Probably some other things around here that could be fixed up too. If you look around I bet you'll find something.

[...damn it, stop being logical and optimistic. It's hard to be cranky in the face of things that make sense.]

When you say it like that, guess I can't help but find something to do. Suppose if it comes down to it, I can do what I did for the Sins back home. This place have an actual doctor, or is it all medieval medicine?

[Sorry, no can do. It's either this or wallow in self-pity and his friends will hit him if he does that.]

There's always something out there to keep you busy.

Yeah there's a doctor here. Had to spend a couple days in the infirmary, but I'm not exactly sure what medicine they use here.

[Yeah, all right, this is better than wallowing in self-pity. Or getting hit. She'll give him that.]

Yeah. May not be the best something, but at least it's something.

[And at least here, it's not the rest of the gangs keeping them busy.]

Hmm. Well, I can make an offer, if it comes do it.

[Then she frowns a bit, the rest of that sinking in.]

Did you? Are you all right now, then?

That's what I've been doing, just offering to help out where I can.

Well nothing hurts anymore so I'd say I'm alright.

Sounds like you've got the right idea.

[And she's a bit relieved there, because if it'd been otherwise, she would've had to offer to heal him.]

Good. Not hurting is generally considered a plus.

I try to, though most of the time I'm not really sure what I'm doing.

Won't argue with you there. Things tend to be a lot more fun when I'm not nursing cracked ribs.

[There's a small laugh there.]

Does anyone? Think I'd be unnerved if I ever met someone who claimed to be knowing exactly what they were doing. Just asking for things to go wrong.

That would tend to put a damper on things. Stuff like cracked ribs happen often around here?

Guess I'm better just winging it then.

Um, we just had some trouble a while back. I wasn't as careful as I should have been.

It's served me well, for the most part.

[Except when it didn't. But those times don't count.]

What kind of trouble?

[That sounded a bit sharper than she'd intended, and she's calmed down enough to catch it.]

If you don't mind me asking. Like to know what I should be looking out for.

Um...things just got, uh, crazy. Some infection got spread around and it drove people insane. Shouldn't have to worry about that now.

[There's a pause there as she processes that. An infection that drives people insane.]

Lovely.

[She snorts lightly.]

Let's hope not. This place is already going to end up driving me insane, I'm not needing a fucking infection to speed along the process.

Well she said she'd be more careful from now on so we should be fine.

[He chuckles.]

You only just got here. Try being here for months.

Hopefully she's as good as her word.

[Ryn doesn't know her, nor was she here for whatever it was, so that's good enough for her.]

Hell, how've you lasted months? I'm betting I'm going to start babbling incoherently inside of a few weeks.

She's got no reason not to be.

[There were a lot of people issuing her threats of locking her up after all, but Zachariah genuinely believes she's sorry about what she did.]

I can make you a straight jacket if you want.
