The Lady and the Preacher

3/14/2000

BackStory: Prior to the beginning of this log, Silonch asked Maimer twice not to slap her, and he continued to do so.

The Pit [Exits: east up]
This is the room of last resort. If you are weaponless, armorless, or in need of something you can't afford, this is where you go to depend on the generosity of others. Veteran adventurers often come here to unload equipment they can't use, can't sell, or just want to donate to the less fortunate. Be warned, less scrupulous individuals have been known to dump cursed equipment here, merely for the pleasure of seeing the poor suffer. Less than vigilant janitors have left grim evidence that a choice piece of equipment is occasionally wanted by more than one person.

A grand staircase leads to the temples above.
A pit for donations dominates the room.
(Blue Aura) Maimer is here.
(Red Aura) Silonch is here.

Maimer says 'excuse me sil, ive got a ton of tells to deal with, your worthless banter will have to wait'.

Silonch says, 'manners obviously not part of your followings teachings... Thank goodness there remain a few saving graces in the following. But I find them fewer each day.'.

Maimer says 'excuse me foolish child, where were we?'.

Silonch says, 'discussing manners I believe'. Silonch arches her eyebrow.

Maimer says 'evils dont deserve being treated with manners'.

Silonch says, 'you were attempting to rub your goodness off on me with the flat of your hand'.

Maimer says 'i classify evils into 2 groups....'.

Silonch listens intently.

Maimer says '1 is the downright wretched full of evil henchmen. Then u have evil no 2. They are just pussyfoot yellow spined liberals. I see you fit desc no 2 best'.

Silonch says, 'Me?'. She giggles. Silonch says, 'liberal?'.

Maimer says 'with those 2 sets of evils, there are 2 actions to take'.

Silonch throws back her head and cackles with insane glee!
Silonch says, 'that is rich'.

Maimer says 'im not sayin u ARE liberal. But u come close to fittin it'.

Silonch says, 'one should know one's enemy before one attempts such stereotypes dear, and stereotypic thinking is indeed dangerous'.

Maimer says 'you need to learn abit about yourself it seems'.
Maimer slaps Silonch across the face leaving a distinct stinging sensation.

Silonch says, 'That will certainly do that trick'.

Maimer says 'first off....'.

Silonch says, 'I feel my repentance welling up within me with every slap. *Sarcasm*'.

Maimer says 'you are yellow.... for an evil. You don't pk. You don't do bad things. Your reputation is not 1 of an evil...'.

Silonch says, 'and you think that makes me yellow?'.

Maimer says 'yet you wear that red aura'.

Silonch says, 'not pking and not doing bad things?'.

Maimer says 'the essence of right and wrong is good and evil. Like all people want to classify people by their acts'.

Silonch says, 'ah well perhaps I am a confused little girl waiting to be rescued... but your way is certainly not going to help me any'.

Maimer says 'Like I believe you are a confused little girl? Confused girls can't be rescued though. I do believe stone-cold sinners can be rescued by your so called honey'.

Silonch says, 'and me?'.

Maimer says 'confused individuals have no resource but physical detriment'.

Silonch says, 'beyond redemption?'.

Maimer says 'Only through the fire will you be redeemed. You are just too confused to understand that'.

Silonch says, 'You attempt the words but have not the truth behind it or the passion'.

Maimer says 'mam, i do speak the truth'.

Silonch says, 'to accomplish such redemption. It takes all kinds and I begrudge you not your opinions. I begrudge you not your right to hunt me and kill me if you catch me. But I would appreciate it if you would keep your hands off me.'.

Maimer says 'evils deny their right of anything peaceful the moment they choose such a wretched lifestyle'.

Silonch says, 'Think as you wish '.

Maimer says 'tis only the truth'.

Silonch sighs.

Maimer says 'remember, I am here for your greater good. If you have a change of heart, I will honor it. As long as u stay a confused girl, you are bound to a life of destruction, for you know not your path'.

Silonch says, 'I didn't say I was, just that you had overlooked that possibility'. She winks suggestively.

Maimer says 'I know you are either confused or just yellow. Either way, your punishment remains the same. Pray that I stoke the fire hot enough to cleanse your filthy heart, Sil. It is for your good'.

Silonch says, 'Pardon me if I seek men of stronger backbone then those that slap women to make them do their wishes'.

Maimer says 'You are not a woman. You are a wretched sinner, worthy of nothing'.

Silonch says, 'then please don't dirty your hands on me. As a matter of fact, don't touch me at all'.

Maimer says 'feel blessed I took a moment of my time to bless you with my hand'.

Silonch says, 'I feel anything but...mostly sad. I pray you find some manners in the good book you carry. Until such time.. I bid you goodbye'.
Silonch curtseys.

Maimer says 'i have manners just like every good has, just not to you sinner'. Maimer slaps Silonch across the face leaving a distinct stinging sensation.

Silonch shakes her head and says, 'Again, I have more style and class in my little finger then in the course of all your blows. Fare thee well, Preacher'.
