Dance with the Devil

"let's earn some bad reputation. Since I need alot of it to let the blight see me." "Gosh I was trying to make you feel nice...guess ..." Recin didn't look happy anymore. "I...sorry I made you think it like that.." he walked away with his head down. Recin did do it for those other things but he also found the positive that he could be with ris for longer.

"Actually, killing bandits would give you positive, not negative repulation. They're bad guys, basically."

Ris did not go after him. He was making her uncomfortable for at least an hour with his whole 'can't really relax' thing and nowhere did he say he wanted a longer lifespan just for her.

Hopefully, his little head would put two and two together and understand why she's upset.

"then I'll go past them. No need to attack."

((Wait why is ris upset?)))

"Bad move; a party of three snowy sabrecats ambush you just past the bandit encampment."

((Cuz he didn't tell her beforehand that he was doing it for her; he kept going on about rare creatures and trying to get her feel depressed. Him saying it was for her after the fact didn't work))

"I'll kill them then!!!" Recin was walking around a room mad. He knew he forgot to tell her something before he turned into a demon. "Stupid stupid!!! GGRRREAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! How could I have forgotten to tell her before!!! Now she hates me!!!" He was blasting random objects.

"You rolled a seven, his companion rolled a three. Minor-to-moderate wounds; the pack of sabrecats rolled a fourteen and a ten. All attacks were directed on the Wendigo, as it presented a more vulnurable target. Roll to get it to transform."

Deceived again, Ris was drowning her bitter disappointment in hard liquor, much to one of the mirror images' worries. For all she cared, his promised amounted to nothing but selfishness.

"don't attack my Wendigo!!!" Wendigo rolled. Recin decided to go find ris. He wanted to tell her he really did love her and that he had tons of reasons to turn but her was pretty important.

"Nineteen. The wendigo transformed into an intimidating, human-sized thing with antlers. It immediately killed one of the sabrecats, heavily wounded another and making the others flee."

Ris was back at the gameroom, drinking.

"yay that's right!! Wendigos are the best!!!" Recin went next to ris. "Ris..."

"The wounded sabrecat dies shortly after."

Ris looked at him, her mascara looking as if she had cried and with a glass in her hand.

"hope there isn't any more distractions. I want to go to the boats " "ris you need to stop drinking! Stop thinking about things that aren't true! " Recin touched her face and made her turn to look at him. "Please...I really do love you...I was just caught up being an idiot.."

"You come across a pile of corpses and a person in black chanting. He's directly in your path."

Ris promptly passed out from drinking too much.

"can I visit say hi and move?" Recin stayed next to her the whole time.

"Probably. Go for a charisma roll."

Ris woke up a couple of minutes later; it wasn't alcohol poisoning yet, she just underestimated how much she can take,

"hope they don't hurt me" she rolled. "You shouldn't be drinking, love. It's not good to cry either. You're ruining the beautiful face you have.."

She rolled a twenty. "Why, hello there! Need help with something?"

The other person also responded kindly. "Nah, thanks for asking, though. Reputation went down by fifty, Blight reputation increased by 500."

Ris struggled to speak. "I... I never was in a real *hic* relationship so i... panicked."

"wait was the person made my rep go down? All I did was say hi." "There's no need to panic. I'm going to stay with you."

"He's an evil person and getting along with evil people makes you more evil by lowering your global reputation, thus allowing you to befriend even more evil people."

"But all you did was nag and nag...."

"Are these...blight people going to bring me into their cult and I'm going to have to drink some sort of drink that males me do whatever they say?" "Forgive me...i do that at times..."

"Nah, the Blight isn't a cult," Legion explained. "They treat members like family and don't force people to do anything."

"Please, try not to..."

"then why are they the bad guys? " "Yes I'll work on that."

"Because they kill people. Innocent people."

She let go of him. "Excuse me for a moment."

"Why?" "Ok.." Recin didn't keep his eyes off of ris.

Legion shrugged. "Because it's fun? I dunno."

A mirror image led her to the bathroom and she returned a short while after, looking a lot less pale and with her mascara corrected.

"I want to join a bad guy place that has a cool motive!!" ""You look better."
