[center][b]Location[/b]: Yathonia, Arrae's Workshop [b]Time[/b]: Early Morning, just after breakfast[/center] Arrae sat down in their chair and sighed, staring at the massive door on the other side of the room. Kept shut with an extreme amount of chains, girders and other things. Keeping it closed was a necessary evil, which Arrae didn't really like much. They much preferred having the door be opened so a little fun could be had. Unfortunately for Arrae, now wasn't the time for fun. "Come on in, Stahl" Arrae says, taking a glass containing a pink liquid from their desk and taking a sip. "What do you want today?" "Ah, good morning Arrae, as observant as ever I see." Stahl says, grabbing a random chair from elsewhere and Arrae's messy workshop and sitting down in front of Arrae after navigating the huge amount of random objects strewn around the room. Cleaning isn't one of Arrae's favourite parttimes, and that can easily be seen in the state of their workshop. A large pile of weapons 'decorates' one corner of the room while a (hopefully defused) Nuclear Warhead is balanced on top of several piles of books. A creature has made a pile of bones their home, while lots and lots of random notes lie all over the room. "Good morning to you too I guess, I need to remember to get myself a clock sometime. It's hard to tell the time this deep underground, and the demons on the other side of the door don't really help much in trying to figure out if it's time for Lunch, Breakfast or Dinner." "Ah, it must be nice being able to worry about the little things like clocks when your bedroom is right in front of a literal door to Hell." "You get used to it eventually, at least I don't have to worry about being lonely." Arrae said, sighing as they takes another sip of their drink. "Anyway, you're here for a reason I assume? You're not the kind of person to come over to chat for no reason." "Straight to the point I see? I can appreciate that. But yes, I have a question and you're the one most capable of answering it for me." Stahl says, grinning as he puts a document on the table. Arrae looks at it's title and sighs, opening the document. "So you want info on these nations, huh?" Arrae says, staring at Stahl while reading through the document half-heartedly. "Yes. I would quite like to know more about them, they seem fascinating from afar, but I would much prefer to know more about them. Maybe they'd make good trading partners." Stahl says, grinning. "...give me an hour or two and I'll compile a document for you containing everything I can find." Arrae says, sighing as they put down the document again. "Oh? Have your powers weakened? I don't remember it taking this long before." Stahl asks, writing something in a notebook. "They haven't, I'm just really lazy and I want to finish my drink first. Plus I need to write everything I find down too." "Very well." Stahl says, getting up and leaving the room. "I'll be back in two hours." "Yeah whatever." Arrae says, taking another sip of their drink. [hr] [center][b]2 Hours Later[/b][/center] [hr] "Hmm. You've provided much less info than I thought." Stahl says, looking through the document Arrae has compiled. "Still though, good work. The information may be basic but this should be enough to determine which nations are worth trading with. Are there truly this few Sovereign Nations on this planet?" "Appears so, yeah, most of the planet seems to be unclaimed land. If we actually were ambitious we could easily claim lots of territory with minimal effort." "Are you saying we're lazy and lacking ambitions, Arrae?" Stahl says, looking slightly annoyed. "Isn't that the truth? All we do is trade. We don't expand, and we rarely actually fight. Anyway, anything else you need?" Arrae says, grinning. Stahl sighs and gets up, taking the document. "No, this will be all. See you later, Arrae." Stahl says, leaving the Workshop. "Have fun, Stahl."
