Audentes Fortuna Iuvat

✮ I think I could be happy and that terrifies me more than anything that has ever hurt me

“Well, hello there. I haven’t seen you around before…”

"Oh Nice dagger... where'd you get it?"

“Why? It’s one of a kind, so I’m not bothered by the question… but I’m curious why you asked it.”

"So, elephant in the room, why are you dressed like that? You obviously arent a upper class guy, no offense. Definitely a Deck Rat."

“Moving onto the other elephant in the room, who are you?”

"Wait nobodys heard of me around here...? Raidan Kell, Child of Hell ringing any bells for you?"

"Eh, no matter. I've got time to build a reputation for however long I may be stuck here. So whats your name, Sir Fancypants?"

“Before you ask, yes, for some misguided reason unknown to me, I have given you my real name.”

"Nice to meet you, Jo-Jo."

“Jo-Jo? Y’know what, it’s one of the better nicknames I’ve had. Although if my friends find out, I’ll be Jo-Jo for the next month. But moving on. What’s your business in Icenbreese?”

"Speaking of, you definitely look local. Got any recommendations for a lost tourist?"

“Number 1, that slope up into the mountains on my left? Don’t go up there. At least, not without me. Number 2, the Green Wyrm tavern is the best for literally anything. Drinks, good tavern food, and atmosphere. The rest… well, I think those two are the most important for now.”

"What exactly is up there?"

“Danger. A whole lotta snow. And some people who don’t take kindly to strangers intruding on their property. So if you value your limbs, I wouldn’t go up there alone, dude. And if you really have to go up there, you’re taking me, and we’re going left.”

"Hm. Ive actually never seen snow."

“That is, of course, assuming that you aren’t gonna go and get yourself killed while we’re there, because that would be really unfortunate.”

*Raidan tries his best to look solemn as he does so, though his tail wags happily*

*he stands, stretching*

*Raidan leaps to his feet with a dramatic bow in Jordie's direction, waiting for him to lead the way*

"So... here all alone, kiddo?"

"What, do I look like I need a parent to cross the street or somthin?"

“We’re now in The Grey, the middle section of the Caldr Mountains. Please, for the love of the gods and my sanity, be careful and follow me.”

"You gotta say something back so it doesnt get weirdly quiet"

“Any chance you’ve ingested Atropa recently? Because that is.. the only way I can think of that you would be able to see patterns in eyes as dark as mine. I’m just concerned for your welfare.”

Its like, green-blue and spike-sharp red. Usually thats not good but the pink balances it out in your case."

“Okay, and thats apparently not at all concerning… and what do the colours mean?”

"Ok that particular face is usually when i lose people."

“No history of dying young, though I have to say that caught me off guard. The red is probably because I could end up dying young if something goes wrong during a job, but we try to not think about that too much… so can see basically everything about me? With the colours? Damn.”

"Sooo How much futher till the Snow?"

“Uh... Thank you? I mean… loss of a limb is better than dying, but I’d really rather not do either. And snow is… maybe ten minutes away? The faint white stuff up ahead is it.”

"Oh this is too cool! Ive heard that sky-sand- er snow,- is like walking on a cloud, but like made of teeny tiny icicles and you can build stuff with it. Like snow-people!"

“Yep. And have snowball fights, which are the absolute best. You have got to have a snowball fight. And if you have a friend handy who can manipulate water, you can make ice daggers too. Pretty neat, but I tend to accidentally melt them.”

"So, Jo-Jo, you got a Deck* or is this a one guy type show you have going on?"

“Wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of them show up. Not because they’re worried about me, but because I went off without them and they’re pissed that they didn’t get to cause more chaos than was necessary. But I’ll deal with that if and when it happens.”

"Ten? Dang. Must be one of the upper leagues."

*his brows furrow for a moment*

"Like... work for an actual organization. That's what I mean. They usually have small teams and all that."

*he grins* “I am, of course, biased on which guild is the best… so you can make your own opinions on that.”

“Well, hello there. I haven’t seen you around before…”

"Oh Nice dagger... where'd you get it?"

“Why? It’s one of a kind, so I’m not bothered by the question… but I’m curious why you asked it.”

"So, elephant in the room, why are you dressed like that? You obviously arent a upper class guy, no offense. Definitely a Deck Rat."
