Good work.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Sarah beams at the praise of others, even if she uh, didn&#8217;t really do much but make a bird briefly angry. She looks proud to have been nearby, at least. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Amber<\/span> offers Constance a thumbs-up, &#8220;Thanks for coming along. Sorry if it wasn&#8217;t your bag.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Constance says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">It&#8217;s fine, it was something to do. I rarely have things to do.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Constance says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">Raids feel like ass because it&#8217;s always you against the entire world so I don&#8217;t bother scheduling them.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Amber<\/span> sidesteps over to shoulder-bump Sarah, &#8220;Wasn&#8217;t the most action-packed I&#8217;ve done, but how&#8217;d you like your first supernatural adventure?&#8221; To Constance she shrugs, &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t HQ send backup if you&#8217;re on the defense? I have fun even when I get crushed, but I&#8217;m not as competitive.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Constance says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">Not in my experience.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Sarah bumps Amber back lightly, carefully, because big sword, &#8220;It was fun!&#8221; she informs Amber, smiling, just a little, &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t nearly as fiery-death-kill-argh as I expected.&#8221; she adds, &#8220;Which is good&#8230;I really don&#8217;t wanna murder housecats&#8230;&#8221; she confesses with a grimace, &#8220;Especially not for my first ever murder. My first ever murder should be a dinosaur.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Constance says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">We can arrange that..<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Constance says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">Hey, actually, you wanna kill a demon?<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe I can take you on a patrol next time and you can meet some ghosts. So many fucking ghosts in this town,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Amber<\/span> laments quietly, &#8220;I can take you hunting if you want, though we&#8217;ll probably be stabbing rats. Or we can go spar and see if Lil is up for joining.&#8221; She pauses before giving Constance a curious look, &#8220;Is the demon Albert?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Constance says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">No, like an actual demon.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Sarah widens her eyes at Constance&#8217;s invitation, &#8220;U-um&#8230;I&#8217;ve never&#8230;actually fought anything&#8230;?&#8221; she admits, &#8220;Like&#8230;at all?&#8221; she further confesses, for emphasis, &#8220;Soooo&#8230;I think maybe a demon might be like&#8230;sorta more than I should bite off&#8230;?&#8221; she tries to be diplomatic about her refusal, scratching at her hair, yet again, &#8220;Like rats!&#8221; she adds, agreeably, &#8220;I could probably take a rat&#8230;&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Constance sighs, seeming to be a little disappointed. &#8220;Not even if I helped?&#8221;, she inquires, hopefully. <\/p>\n<p>Sarah blinks at Amber, &#8220;Like&#8230;a dinosaur rat, right? Not like&#8230;a small cute rat&#8230;?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Real demons are fucking terrifying. Are we talking 63rd?&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Amber<\/span> eyes Constance, a bit surprised. Then back to Sarah, &#8220;One of the most common critters is a giant, gross rat straight out of Princess Bride. So not a cute pet but not a dino either.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Sarah shakes her head at Constance, expression, which is slowly growing a bit sunnier, apologetic, &#8220;Oh, no, then you&#8217;d have to worry about me and stuff and I wouldn&#8217;t wanna be a bur-&#8230;&#8221; burden. She doesn&#8217;t even get the word out, her improving expression -plummets- and she suddenly stands less confidently, &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t wanna be in the way.&#8221; she corrects, quietly, &#8220;Thank you, though.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Constance raises her gauntlet into the air and clicks the ivory talons together. &#8220;I can rip open a portal to Hell and temporarily summon a demon with this,&#8221; she confides to Sarah and Amber. &#8220;And then we could beat the shit out of it together.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Amber<\/span> stares at the gauntlet a little while, &#8220;So&#8230; not only do you shoot hellfire balls. You also can summon a demon? The fuck. I need to get a relic.&#8221; She looks over to Sarah, giving another nudge, &#8220;You won&#8217;t ever be in the way. But we can start with a sparring match.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Constance snorts. &#8220;If you think that&#8217;s strong you should have seen &#8216;the spear that neutralizes the guy every time you stab them with it&#8217; or Lykaia&#8217;s little jack that hulks her out and gives her full control over her own body and telekinesis.&#8221; <br \/><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: 2025-09-09 17:32 (Arachne&#8217;s Tuesday evening odd encounter(Amber):Amber) [Tue Sep 9 2025] On Mayflower Street\/span>\/span\/span<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encounterlog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25591"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25591\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
