Ashs Bribery Attempt 240828


(Ash's bribery attempt)

[Tue Aug 27 2024]

On Warden's Way Piercing the Wood to Reveal the White Oak Institute
Smooth asphalt roads continue through this part of town, bordered on either side by well maintained concrete sidewalks. Where the street is widest small median islands appear with old twisted trees planted in them. The buildings that line the street seem quaint, but well maintained.
It is night, about 75F(23C) degrees, There is a waning gibbous moon.

Ash grins at medical examiner. "Ayy, my man! Good to see you again!"

Ash glances at Illyana, then says, "Hey, I got it-"

Ash shrugs.

Ash continues to someone, "I've been meaning to talk to you- Yana, what the fuck?"

Ash continues to the man, "I've been meaning to talk to you- Yana, what the fuck?"

Ash looks at Illyana incredulously, holding their hands out as their bewildered expression turned to betrayal. "Why would you do that to me?"

"Nice seeing you again, my guy. Here, you go get yourself a coffee. Maybe at Rosie's. Ash runs a great place there, so you can take your friends and make a day of it. Just leave that paperwork to some minion or other who doesn't have such good friends as this man here." Illyana says to someone, winking at Ash

Ash does not appear appeased, crossing their arms and glowering at Illyana.

"You don't have the expendable cashflow. I do." Illyana tells Ash. Save your money and go buy a jacket.""

Ash waves a hand dismissively, almost angrily. "What's the point of having money if I can't advance my career? You just snatched that from me. You're already doing well, why would you steal my chance from me?" They're not yelling at Illyana, just looking confused and hurt.

"You are already doing well." Illyana tells Ash. "You're trusted, valued and have all of the arcane skill that thousands around you would wish. But also, because I can afford it and you cant. So I did you a favour." There's a shrug, but she doesn't seem convinced, even of herself. "I'll leave it to you in future." Illyana adds, "And not bother saving you time energy or cashflow." Then, she leaves, as if the world has pissed her off today and she's going to take revenge.
