@Spicebaek ⚒️: Yeah, just a looooot of easy to make, boring work.
Some people have been babbling about my curse and it seems someone thought it would make the perfect "accessory" for their little soldiers, bleugh...
Could at least ask for real weapons.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: Yeah, I try to take things in something more like a stride, this last job just has a bit of a tight deadline is all.
And this one it ain't even fun to do, if I'm being honest.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: Yeah, could be worth a visit if you ever want to get away from the chaos of the City...
Well then! [She suddenly gets up, stretching and dusting herself] That's enough rest for a week, got a ton of weapons to make and not a lotta time.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: I'm way less free and living takes a lot more work, so I wouldn't say better, but... [She glances back at her arm for a second]
It's somewhere to be. People to see. Busy streets and shining lights, for most people the only sky, the whole world.
Makes me feel like I'm alive.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: I don't exactly know? Back then I felt like... like I was stuck. Like there was nothing else for me to see and learn.
So I planted my family's swords into a hill and decided do come here to see what I could find.
And, I guess that being all alone kinda sucked ass too.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: Yeah, don't worry, I get it.
[She sits back straight] How about this? I asked you a pretty personal question, just ask me anything and I'll answer.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: [She nods, resting against the bench again] I'll try my best.
I can see why you'd be angry at that, it's a huge matter of life and death, after all.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: If I sound "flippant", "unbothered" or even "distant" sometimes, sorry. I did think about it or consider it deeply.
It's just that... well, nothing to do but move foward, you know? I can't worry about it.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: [She looks at Kim again, trying to look into her eyes] I will be honest with you, Kim. That ain't really my intention.
Fear, apprehension, hesitation, all that shit that weighs you down and keeps you from moving? It was all hammered out of me, long, long ago.

@Spicebaek ⚒️: I can imagine. To work your way up a ladder as steep as this one must be hard as shit. But you know what they say, nothing to do about it, it's do or die.
I like doing what I do, and I'm the best at what I do. And there's nobody that can do it like me. That's just how it is.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: Then all we gotta do is get stronger, ain't it. Or richer.
[She rests her head in the bench, looking back at the clouds] As bad as it sounds, at least I like the race. It's nice having a reason to run, even if not a good one.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: I see... you know, you are the second person I've met who had a family member killed like that. Being a fixer is some rough shit, huh?
Well, I guess the first person I met technically was said family member that died. Messy stuff.
@Spicebaek ⚒️: Anything you are fine with sharing, really. But if you want a focus, let's see... what was the the angriest you got in your life, and why?
