Drunken Musings

Atropha is sitting at the bar, as she has been doing a lot lately. She's holding a notepad of sorts, sketching out a figure that's wearing some sort of helmet. Every once in a while she stops to take another sip of her drink.

Order walked by and, scowling upon seeing the sketch, took the next stool.
"Drawing my hand around his throat next I hope."

"You do realize that's not how it works, yes?"

"How can one person be that much of a thorn in your side, I wonder."

"It's not just him, its what he represents. False hope for the weak, stupid, teeming masses who fail to realize that the General is the only thing standing between them and total... disorder..." he said, ending on a note of pure loathing.

"I wasn't aware we require the approval of the general populace."

"We don't, but they must be kept in line none-the-less. Rioting would be detrimental... if temporary."

"I'd say your worries would be better directed elsewhere, but I get the impression this is something personal?"

"We've been after him for years and we're not substantially closer to catching him. He's making us look bad."

"Yet he hasn't really achieved anything substantial either. Sounds to me like you're chasing an impotent ghost."

"You're right. He has sealed his fate this time."

"He's provoking you. And from the looks of it I'd say it's working."

"Hmph."
"If he's so insignificant... why are you drawing him?"

She shrugs. "You never know for sure. It helps with the process sometimes."

"The process?"

"Apparently not," he answered with poorly hidden displeasure.

"Not one to give spoilers are you?" he asked, after briefly imagining slamming her head against the bar.

"Quite the opposite."

"I already did." she says, continuing to sketch.

He thought for a moment.
"Well, no wonder he keeps you around."

"Would you look at that. He can think for himself."

"I follow orders, focusing on my own feelings about those orders is only a hindrance. This does not mean I don't think," he replied with a scowl.

A look of anger flashed across his face and he used his telekinesis to violently force her down against the bar, but not hard enough to injure the General's new pet.

To say that Atropha saw this coming would be an understatement. Before anything even happens she jerks herself away from the bar but then actually goes with the telekinetic force, slamming herself on the counter. Not hard enough to seriously injure herself but with enough force to bust open her forehead on the bar before sliding off the bar stool and onto the ground.

"WHAT. IS. GOING. ON." a voice from the doorway rang out.

Atropha just groans, pulling herself up on the bar.

"The new girl lacks proper respect and had to be shown her place. I had no intention to injure her. That she did herself."

"Fuck you! The hell I did." she hisses, holding her head.
