Yet you still secured an invitation to this particular event. The Countess at least must look kindly upon you, no?
handpuppets: (sir benjamin)

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, she's a kind soul, in her heart—I respect people like her, but maybe a little too kind for her own good. There's plenty of people I don't know why she still lets attend...
bondsofsuffering: ([Down] I have no regrets")

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, dear. Such as?
handpuppets: (sir benjamin)

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Well, Vainamoinen should be executed for treason—even if they hadn't turned their back on the Crown after accepting aid from them, the murdered Admiral Villiers in cold blood during the conflict in Avenel, and I won't forget that—Admiral Villiers was a good friend of mine.

And then... well, the Countess would be displeased to hear me speak of it, I'm sure.
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] whisper "sorry")

I'm not exactly her confidant, myself. Anything you say to me is confidential.

Well—having Lochaana Naarabot as the Guest of Honor is a bit much, isn't it? Everyone knows she's allied with the Groundcleansers, and honestly I suspect she might be one herself. And the Grand Army of Free Mars answers to her, and they're at open war with Britain!

...that, and—you do have to keep this in your utmost confidence, all right?
handpuppets: (sir benjamin)

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well—there was an act of sabotage that led to the death of a very dear friend of mine, and—it seems the information was transmitted through her office.

Be very careful here tonight. I don't have conclusive proof—she said it was an aide, and... I don't have anything to counter that, but if you can learn anything to set the matter to rights, it'd put my heart at ease if I knew I could make sure it would never happen again.
bondsofsuffering: ([Dark] Impossible; yes)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[He listens to this information grimly.]

I'll see if there's anything to do.

Incidentally, I realize we've sidetracked from my original cause here... Some people have mentioned that opiates have helped with pain. It may be able to do something for your phantom pains as well, though do be careful not to take too much.

[This seems somewhat old-fashioned, if you ignore the... space stuff. Maybe that's still a thing that everyone has access to??]

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... if you have some with you, I think they'd help. Thank you; you're very kind to help a soldier into his cups.
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] discovering that despair)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[He will fish around in his bag and produce what's hopefully laudanum??? I'm sure this is fine.]

Is there anything else you need, sir?
handpuppets: (sir benjamin)

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Really, I'm mostly here as Lady Raachna's head of security—the only other thing I could possibly need is hearing about any possible threats to her.
bondsofsuffering: ([Soft] a never-ending nightmare.)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Fortunately, I haven't heard anything like that.

[Hmm. Any influence this guy wants to trade?]
handpuppets: (sir benjamin)

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... well, if you have any low society influence... sometimes people you don't expect hear things.

[ He will trade you 2x "all's fair in love and war" per low society influence you give him. ]
bondsofsuffering: ([Smile] Miserable - yes - but)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Trading one low society influence, then!]

I think I can do that much for you, at least.
handpuppets: (sir benjamin)

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, good sir; you've been a great help. Ah—what was your name? I'm Sir Benjamin Sofer, but I probably shouldn't keep just calling you "Doc."
bondsofsuffering: ([Strain] we see everywhere)

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-02-24 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[............UHHH WHAT'S A GOOD NAME. The only one that comes to mind is.]

Doctor Blade will do, though I swear my name didn't influence my career choice.

[Ugh.]
handpuppets: (sir benjamin)

[personal profile] handpuppets 2020-02-24 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
...ahaha, well. Sometimes it's just like that.

Have a good night, Doctor Blade.
