Drunken Musings

Postby Atropha » Sat Jun 25, 2011 5:58 pm

Atropha is sitting at the bar, as she has been doing a lot lately. She's holding a notepad of sorts, sketching out a figure that's wearing some sort of helmet. Every once in a while she stops to take another sip of her drink.

Order walked by and, scowling upon seeing the sketch, took the next stool.

"Drawing my hand around his throat next I hope."

"It's not just him, its what he represents. False hope for the weak, stupid, teeming masses who fail to realize that the General is the only thing standing between them and total... disorder..." he said, ending on a note of pure loathing.

"Not one to give spoilers are you?" he asked, after briefly imagining slamming her head against the bar.

"I follow orders, focusing on my own feelings about those orders is only a hindrance. This does not mean I don't think," he replied with a scowl.

A look of anger flashed across his face and he used his telekinesis to violently force her down against the bar, but not hard enough to injure the General's new pet.

To say that Atropha saw this coming would be an understatement. Before anything even happens she jerks herself away from the bar but then actually goes with the telekinetic force, slamming herself on the counter. Not hard enough to seriously injure herself but with enough force to bust open her forehead on the bar before sliding off the bar stool and onto the ground.

Atropha just groans, pulling herself up on the bar.
