Well, in fact, I'm doing some comparative study of primitive religions, so influence in the area of religion certainly wouldn't go amiss! I could also use a bit of sway with high society for publication—you know how it is, it's all who you know.

[ he will offer to trade 1:1 religion or high society for influence in any of the following: "pride goeth before a fall," "the relentless march of empire," or "all's fair in love and war." ]

Fortunately for you, I have plenty of influence in the area of religion to spare!

[ he'll trade 1 for "pride goeth before a fall"

he's being poetic

also, by chance, are there alcohol bottles around ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ it's the "gentlemen's lounge," which is to say it is absolutely CHOCK FULL of high-end alcohol. there's like a whole wine rack, there's like five bottles of good scotch.

you gain 1x "pride goeth before a fall" influence. ]

Ah, my thanks. Or, I suppose, since we're above Mars, I should perhaps use a local color rather than using our terms—

[ he raises his hands in the air, and starts to do a single turn. ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

That is a bit more fitting, yes.

[ he moves to stand. is a scotch bottle in grabbing distance. ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ it absolutely is! a refined gentleman should always have a good drink within reach, and he's been drinking from this bottle.

he completes the turn. ]

So, I don't think I caught your name—

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

[ his name is "Absinthe is trying to slam this scotch bottle into his head", it's a bit unwieldy ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ The bottle's of a good enough make that it absolutely lands with a horrible cracking sound, and there's no crack in the bottle. He goes down and out like a light, a line of blood forming along his hairline. ]

[ excellente

he takes a quick look around. is there anywhere conveniently nearby to hide a body for a little. under a sofa?? ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ oh yeah this room has some very large leather sofas. great for hiding bodies. ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

[ great

he's just going to as like .. efficiently as he can .. strip him off his clothing. he'll leave him of his underwear at the Very Least but he'll also check his pulse. unconscious but alive or dead-dead? ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ unconscious but alive! ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

[ excellent

going to use like, two socks tied to together I guess, to gag him. he had thought about trading out his clothing but considering he will probably kill this dude it might be a little suspicious

so instead he'll use his the man's own clothing to bind him -- arms behind his back, ankles together, before trying to slap him awake. ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ you truss him up like a prize turkey, and slap him awake.

he immediately starts trying to run his mouth but is stopped by being gagged. thank fuck. ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

[ he laughs, giving him a comforting! little pat on the head ]

You're quite wordy, aren't you?

Don't be overly concerned, though. I won't hurt you if I don't have a reason to.

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ PANICKING ASSHOLE NOISES ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

[ sighs! ]

Being noisy won't do you any good, you know.

I'm sure a man like yourself must have plenty of influence. Do you care to share some of it?

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

Mmph! Mmph!

[ TRANSLATION: TAKE ANYTHING YOU WANT PLEASE GOD DON'T KILL ME YOU PSYCHO ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

You're very generous. Consider this your tithe, hmm?

[ he's interpreting that as an offering, anyway. HOW MANY INFLUENCES DOES HE GET ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ pretend you rifle through his coat and take all his business cards.

you receive:

3x "pride goeth before a fall"
3x "the relentless march of empire" ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[innerdaemons]

[ nice, it's like an asshole point TCG ]

There we are! Now, what shall I do with you?

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism

[handpuppets]

[ unsure asshole noises ]

CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism also I'm adding in cannibalism

[innerdaemons]

What do you dream those savages would do to you? Roast you and eat you alive?

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism also I'm adding in cannibalism

[handpuppets]

[ we're having a good time here

UNCOMFORTABLE SCREAMING, BUT MUFFLED???? ]

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism also I'm adding in cannibalism

[innerdaemons]

Would that be more or less savage than taking you from your home, forcing you to speak a language that is not your own, and to worship a God you do not know? Do tell me.

All things considered, cannibalism may even be a mercy!

Re: CW that good 'ol historical racism and ALSO the sexism also I'm adding in cannibalism

[handpuppets]

[ he would have some words to say about that, but

whoops! still can't talk!

also the words he would say would probably suck, so: this is also a mercy. ]
