Besides the nastiness with weapons around there is another issue. We should really, probably get some people to help winterize Persephone's greenhouse. Armand is...affected.
Persephone's mother is here and so unamused that I fear she won't even take three nights to bring winter.
One of these "parents" just distributed an arsenal to the inmates. Another one is Demeter, who will take everything edible off the ship if Persephone is not returned to her in three days.
A male vampire, one-eyed, father to...Rayne. Who is hateful and whom I would not assist, but...
My Warden and some of the people who call me friend here are quite gentle and relatively powerless, and...I have lost enough people, if you understand.
Ah, it is so tempting! But I cannot. This is not the time to invite...complications. Especially ones that would leave my allies either deeply resentful or needing an alienist....
Notice the bit about that crazy vampire hunter's arsenal being distributed to everyone? People actually seemed to wonder why I didn't want those getting out into the general population.
Oh, and we have an angry goddess threatening to take our food supplies as punishment for not bringing back her daughter. Fortunately she has given us three days, and supposedly these things never go on for very long.
Nothing. Not one bit of anything, and that is the problem!
If I try to take advantage of the situation, I will end up with at least one ally or friend who either cannot look me in the eyes or feels obligated to attack me.
I would prefer you did not speak of Vegas in those terms. He is, as the colloquialism says, "a stand up guy", though I admit he might have been a handful as a young one. I was.
Madame, you are exquisite, and no lie. But isn't there a whole genre of insults attached to those who dally with their friends' mothers?

Thank you for your warning. I was sure to frisk her first.

...Persephone's mother? Do you think I should speak to her?

Be careful of her. She is unreasonable and will not like the idea of her daughter having a jailor!

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't suppose you know who's distributing the weapons?

Something wrong with disturbingly beautiful women?

And that is a terrible shame.
