The Fucking Green

by Dapper

Sup diary.
 
Everything is fine. Just cool. We're goood. Yup.
 
We're totally gonna end up on the wrong end of a fucking dragon.
 
The night we picked up Alba I started translating the leger out of that stupid code. (It's not even a very complicated code by the way! Stupid thugs think they're SOOO clever with their little shift cypher. Betcha the thieves guild kids can do this before they can walk.) Anyway I kept seeing that they attributed some of the purchases to different neighborhoods of Tact. The weird thing was that "The Green" came up way too often considering The Greens are a bunch of fucking pastures, and the weirder thing was that they always wrote it out as "The Green" instead of The Greens (plural). It just gave me a weiiiird feeling.
 
Sigh.
 
Uhh we continued following the threads we had. We "followed up" with Valerian, by which I mean we assaulted him in his home and interrogated him, so that's cool. Yet another bar I can never set foot in. Also Alba kinda maybe got her heart broken. I mean, she knew the guy for like, less than 24 hours, but she's just a kid. A 64 year old kid. We've all been there. Poor thing.
 
Val told us that he's just a middle man - Veil's payments come through him from another bar patron named Allie, short for Almond Starbone. Allie who, by a HELLUVA coincidence, we met earlier that night and who I totally played it cool with and didn't ogle like a teenager because ANTLERS. Allie who, Alba maybe already pissed off because she was flirting with Val? Unclear, that was weird. Also when I was totally flustered by Allie Gry got all angry? That was weirder.
 
So, this attractive antler lady is the next link in the chain. Before we really had the chance to talk about how to track her down, Alba did some crazy magic and WROTE A MESSAGE IN THE SKY.
 
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH ANY MORE. Alba is clearly much more powerful than Gry or I realized. That shit was crazy.
 
What was I saying?
 
Oh right, so the skymessage was asking Allie to meet with us at the Mountain. Didn't pan, but Suga loved the free publicity. Hey if this whole adventuring together thing doesn't pan out that's a surefire job prospect for our little bird. Maybe I could be her manager.
 
Focus, Dapper. The Green. The Fucking Green.
 
By a ridiculous stroke of the incredibly unlikely, Alba found out where Allie lives. I think the chain of events went something like:
Alba had one (1) bloody mary -> avariel are incredible lightweights -> Alba flew away and landed in some random part of town god knows where -> Alba asked random strangers, drunkenly, for directions to Almond Starbone -> A random stranger ACTUALLY KNEW HER and led her to her place of residence.
 
Which is Ciavy's house, by the way. Ciavy, I presume, is THE FUCKING GREEN.
 
So anyway we're off to fight a dragon, or something. Wish us luck, diary.
