>>/4073/ > we may need to pool funds >>/4086/ > She sighs and turns around to Ashley > Ashley! > What is it that you desire? Ashley speaks from a hurt perspective, drenched, sore from a night on the floor, doubted by Alice at every turn, thought of as a troublemaker for doing her best. Listen, I appreciate what you did and what you gave me, I told you that. I'd have been eaten by an owlbear by now otherwise but that doesn't mean you own me. I owe you for room and board, for clothes and 10 gold for registration, fine. I have my own ID, I want to use any amount of that fund to pay you back, just tell me what I owe you beyond whatever you want to take from that chest, but after all that if you're saying I still owe you money, how am I supposed to think I'll ever get out from under this debt and then I'll have to find my own way to do that because how else can I? If you call it even like what I think is very fair considering you said I could keep the outfit, next we need to talk about Alice. I know she's your friend and all, but her little snide comments to me are weighing me down. I tried to be nice, I tried to be friendly or haven't I? Lastly, the room thing and equipment, I want to take care of myself, if I get something perfect and some coin of my own and you decide it needs to be "pooled for the greater good" than I'm not up for that. I'm also not up for the ascetic life. I'm no noble so I'm not going to be jingling around with platinum and all that but if I had my own funds I can take care of my own needs and safety. Isn't that fair? > What are your goals? I have no idea at this point, I'm all turned around with Freya and the slaves and it all sounds crazy. I'd frankly like to figure out who I am but from what Freya told me, my god doesn't want that. She's got me under her thumb too. Can't piss off a god right or I'll be a flipping panther forever. Everyone around me is making decisions for me, when can I make my own? she holds back tears Now this other bitch with the gears, like, I don't mind being able to see in the dark but wtf, she's watching everything through my eyes. Thank gods she's not yelling in my head, telling me to torture small animals but there goes privacy. She's compelling me to watch Alice and I can't even get away from her now. I didn't ask for this and I'm a little pissed about that too. > The truth is I know nothing about you. Even though you are older you are like a daughter to me! How do you think I feel? I'm not your daughter, and who knows anything? I don't even know how old I am? I might be younger than you. And this... this wild magic taints me blue sometimes, my hair, my skin, what kind of joke is that? Look, black roots. Who could even recognize me, and especially in these vestments? The best I thought I could so was wear something I wanted, maybe that's be something I could be recognized in and I can't even do that. She shows the top of her dripping wet head. > >I understand you want to be independent but is this a luxury you can afford? Ashley darkens, with the rain falling down her cheeks you can't tell if she's crying Can I, master? > >That WE can afford? Take the money, take all of it, that's a lot, more than I'll ever see in any reasonable time, what more do you want from me? Blood?
