Open - The Rumor Mill...

  1. As her new partner muttered to herself, Magdalyn had to fight to keep the grin from blossoming across her face. Considering the words she spoke, Mags assumed they had not been meant to be delivered aloud. Still, the childish murmuring charmed the spearwoman.

    When the girl finally fell silent, Magdalyn snorted good-naturedly. "I'm not sure what I like more," she confessed, "being called a person of culture, or a valiant warrior."

    The barman paused to deliver their drinks, the thick tankards making a pleasant thudding sound against the worn wooden bartop. Greedily, Mags drew the drink closer, then dug in. The drink warmed her all the way down, and she gave a small shiver of delight before looking back to the witch. "My name is Magdalyn. It's great to meet you, Grand Witch Majolica."
     
  2. "Likewise, MAGdalyn... hehehe!"

    Majolica took another sip of her drink.

    "So, you look like someone who's thought 'you know what, I want? I think I would be a good warrior of darkness' annnnnd, it just so happens I know a witch with two thumbs who's looking for companions and allies to help her rule the world!"

    Majolica flashed a grin and pointed at herself with her thumbs.

    "If you agree to join, we can have tasty drinks and take over towns to help them grow! And everyone will be like, 'Wow! we're so glad you took over and helped us become a better town! We have it so good now!' Doesn't that sound great? Hehehe... and whenever there's like a major event or something, the top brass and all of those stuffy noble players would come and be like 'Omg... Majolica and Magdalyn and everyone, can you please help us with this huge problem?' and we'll be like, 'Hehehe! What's in it for us?' and then they have to pay us in treasure and we get rich and the townspeople can be wealthier too! And if people misbehave they get turned into frogs! And I can have a castle made of candy that floats! Hehehehe... then, when the kingdoms about to fall and everyone's about to eat dirt they see the flying candy castle in the distance and we save them, and they thank us and make us nobles!"

    The Grand Witch sighed wistfully as she imagined the scenario play out in her head. Needless to say, Majolica had big dreams that she was working towards. Of course, whether these would ever actually come to fruition was anyone's guess. Even so, for Majolica, the first step of this process was gathering followers and strong allies, which of course she had, had trouble with due to her... peculiarities.

    Feeling as though she had sold her point of view more than adequately, Majolica extended her hand to shake.

    "Hehehe! Well, what do you say! Do you want to make the world better by taking it over?!"
