[OOC] Overlord: Momento Mori

[Pirouette]

Whew. There we go. I've been having trouble loading the website recently, for some reason. :/

[The Irish Tree]

I'll be getting a post up today (Thursday) ASAP. Was going to last night, but failed to meet my own expectations. If anybody has requests for things to happen within the Chateau in particular, let me know. I don't want things to be boring for the homebodies of the guild!

[Xaltwind]

@Guess WhoOi, you! Ashara didn't insult Light's weight, she merely warned her that eating everything and anything that everyone else left behind might cause her to grow fat! D:

Whine, whine, whine

On an unrelated note, I chipped my tooth at work yesterday and had to shell out close to $330 bucks in order to get ir repaired. Since the injury happaned at work, their nsurance is supposed to cover the cost and spot me for what I paid. Naturally you have to fill out a form for all this, because beaurocracy, right? Anyway, So, I told my boss today that I would appreciate if he could help me fill out the form.
This is the conversation that ensued:

Me: He, do you have some time later to help me fill out the paperwork for compensating me for my injury?"
Boss: Mmm, not really. Got a lot to do today, how about next week?
Me: ... Tomorrow's my last day before I go on vacation...
Boss: Oh yeah, I forgot. For how long?`
Me: Three weeks.
Boss: Oh... ... ... ... Well, don't you have someone at home who can help you fill it out?
Me: Uuuh, no? Nobody at home would know how to fill out a form like that.
Boss: Oh, it's super-easy. YOu just go to this website and follow the instructions.
Me: I mean, if you can't do it I guess I have to find someone else.
Boss: Oh, good! *goes back to work*

So, I asked one of the lower-ranking bosses, namely the one in charge of the delicatessery and meat/cheese if she could help me. Luckily, she could - and straight after lunch we sat down to fill out said form.

... Not only did I need several numbers and pieces of information about the company I worked for - information I would never have been able to access at home - but some of the nfields needed to be filled out were or required specifically for the highest-ranking manager to sign and fill out. Basically, there was no way I could have filled this out at home by myself.

So, my co-worker calls the chief on his workphone and asks if he can come in and spare 5 minutes to just fill out the sections he's needed for. His reply was:

Co-Worker: Hello, what you up to?
Boss: Working! Stocking some shelves and getting rid off this and that, yadd-yaadda.
Co-Worker: Alright, well, me and [MyRealNameHere] have been filling out that form to recompensate him for the work-related injury to his tooth. You mind dropping by the officer for like, 5 minutes to help fill out the last bits?
Boss: ........... What? He came to YOU? I TOLD him I didn't have time today!
Co-Worker: Uhm, yeah but... He's going on vacation next week, so...
Boss: *Barrage of excuses and for why he cannot possibly spare any time today*
CO-Worker: Uhuh, I see... Well, can we just leave what we've filled in and have you look it over tomorrow then?
Boss: *SIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH* ... Yeah, okay, sure! *Hangs up*

Now, I get it. The holidays are stressful and there's a lot that needs to be done and taken care off in the store during this time. Heck, there's a lot of things that needa be taken care of even it's not holidays, but stilll... You'd think the guy could spare a few minutes for an employee, who got hurt in his store and had to pay for medical treatment with their own personal money could at least spare a little time to make sure that the person who suffered the injury got their money back at least before Christmas...

Iunno, maybe I'm just selfish and petty. I'm sure stocking chocolate bars and rearraging bottles of shampoo and soap are way more important than the fact that I had to pay about 1/3 of my remaining salary on fixing an injury I suffered at my workplace.

... ... ...

Then again, this is the same boss who yelled and berated a co-worker for being sloppy and unfocused and making a mess for everyone else, when said co-worker's mother had died about a week ago from cancer...

@Lucius Cypher I'll post when I get home tonight.

@Xaltwind

Ah sorry. The "'Careful, Miss Light. If you eat too muhch you might grow fat.' Ashara warned," And "in truth, it wasn't like Ashara disliked Light, she just found her presence uncomfortable and her personality... Well, in need of improvement, shall we say?" Sentences made it seem like the first one was supposed to be sarcastic. I'll try and edit it later today to fix that. Sorry again for misreading it.

And I'm sorry to hear about work mistreating you. Sounds like a pretty terrible boss to work for.

[Xaltwind]

It's fine, I actually just thought it was Kath reading too much into Ashara's comment, so you don't really need to edit it if you don't want to... xD

Yeah, he's only been around for a few weeks now, but he seems like a rather crappy boss tbh. Not exactly making a lot of friends with his employees either... >_>
Oh well, I'll be on vacation for three weeks starting after tomorrow, so I'll be free from his tyranny for a while at least. :p

[Lucius Cypher]

@Rockin Strings

No rush. Took me forever to get a post.

[Archmage MC]

@Xaltwind xD. Light does have an ass on her though, so Ashara's comment isn't too off xD.

Should I do a quick post or nah?

[The Irish Tree]

Post is up! Sorry for the delay.

Also @Archmage MC, let me know if you want to have anything specific happen for Light. Currently, she's the hardest person to write an event for, and I just wanna make sure you have something to do.

As for anybody else, feel free to ask for me to add or change events if you had something else in mind. Your input is key to making this rp good, fun, and alive!

I'll be collaborating for @Enkryption for his next post, but if anybody ever wants to collab with me to have a big event play out, feel free to pm me!

Also as usual, let me know if I forgot anything important.

[Rockin Strings]

Wait, when did Gromgard become Sans?

[Xaltwind]

Gromgard is such a brute. Hmph!

Also, in case people wanna skip non-essential fluff, "Words of Wisdom, Moving Shadows." deals with Kath and Ashara just outside the chateau, while "Up a Mountain, Down a Mine." deals with them approaching the village. You know, in case you don't wanna read all of it.

[DracoLunaris]

Hopefully that's somewhere around the appropriate scale of power for level 70 beasts.

[Rockin Strings]

@Xaltwind He's just trying to seem that way because of the teasing.

[Rockin Strings]

@Lucius Cypher Mamoru is a bit more of a badass than I expected. I completely forgot about the runner in my post. I can just say Gromgard didn't see him, though.

[Xaltwind]

Isn't Gromgard at a lower level than pretty much all the other Chapter Keepers and NPCs though? With the exception of Flan? *Goes to check*

Yeah, Gromgard's only level 50, whereas Mamoru is level 60... Hah, and that buffoon threatened Ashara. She woulda totally taken him in a fight. >:P

[Lucius Cypher]

Actually now that you mentioned it, I forgot to write something else in my post for Mamoru’s copy too. I’ll add it in later.

[Xaltwind]

Kath better come up with some clever things to tell that grumpy-pants villager, you know, explain why two smokin' hotties who look nothing alike suddenly roll up on a dismal, backwater mining town out of the blue... Ashara isn't exactly the greatest con-artist or bamboozler around, despite being a tricksy fox-demon. xD

@Xaltwind

She'll certainly do her best.

[Archmage MC]

Huh, could have Light be a treasure hunter/loot hunter maybe. Is it wrong I want to find the Holy Hand grenade? xD Our vampire beastmaster friend will also get quite the vicious bunny xD.
