[OTA] Announcing another drow (w/ human); tic tac toe three in a row for Forgotten Realms

[naturaltwohands]

[About an hour after this whole mess, Drizzt addresses the network with some sort of dazed amusement.]

For those of you who have been warned what to do if another drow shows, I do not believe there will be further threats. It seems the Arcana have decided to only pull drow that are not particular threats to other Travelers.

If you meet our newest drow, Jarlaxle, you will... simply know it is him, I assure you. Do not attack him, even if he says something to make you want to do so.

His human companion, Artemis Entreri, is also from my world. Please do not attack him either.

Jesus fucking Christ.

... I mean, he started it by describing drow bullshit. But. Ugh. I was. Ugh.

I'm sorry, Claudia. It's just. Well. Unless your world is like massively better than mine when it comes to this shit, then you know why this shit would bug me.

[claudiometer]

At least nine in ten Artifacts have a drawback of 'someone dies horribly.' Pete and Myka actually got to kick off their Warehouse career with an Aztec doohickey. So no, it's not really any better.

Trust me, I get why it'd hit your buttons. [Not from experience, but she knows her history, for all she doesn't want to listen to Artie's lectures.] Why he's so set on vilifying everybody of his own race, I couldn't say.

[thornsofmalkav]

Me either. It just... it bugs me. It bugs me a lot.

[claudiometer]

And you're not wrong to be bugged, but I don't think either of you's gonna win that argument. Not when you're both so sure the other couldn't possibly have a point.

[thornsofmalkav]

... I mean, I guess I can see his logic. It's like if you see a Nazi coming you just punch them in the face because by going around in the trappings of Nazism you're, like, giving your tacit approval to genocide.

But then it's not because it's one thing to put on a Nazi armband and it's another thing to just be some random forties German dude.

[claudiometer]

Pretty much.

You a little better?

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeah. Think so.

[claudiometer]

Good.

The arcade has giant Pacman if you need a distraction.

[thornsofmalkav]

Hah. It might not hurt.
