Current I eat negativity and shit out hopes and dreams. Like a tree, but for pessimism.

Good news, I'm not failing out of my cooking course tomorrow! Bad news, it's only because I nearly sliced a chunk off my finger practicing for it and needed stitches.

It's days like today that I truly believe this ADHD is both a blessing AND a curse.

Alright, here's Gray. Let me know if he's bad or not.


Chatak Claybitah



@Thinslayer



["It was passable."] Chatak said as Shaktak joined him. ["To achieve my goals, I'll need to be a lot better than that."]

He turned to the other goblin, Kolgat, and nodded.

["Anyone you can spare. Smiths, architects, stone masons, we could use anything and everything. I understand that the Witch may be wary of parting with them, but in a way, this supports her end goal as well. She requires a strong nation to fight the voidspawn, and with these craftsmen, I will be able to continue working towards that end."]

It was unfortunate that he never actually got to speak to any of the humans whose freedom he'd negotiated, hoping that maybe they'd be grateful enough to connsider joining him, but he supposed this wasn't so bad either. At least they were free, and it looked like he was still going to get some good workers out of it in the end too! Still, it would've been nice to get some human craftsmen as well, if for no other reason than to finally actually make his goal of a community where monsters and humans work together more than just words and wishful thinking.

["Also, can any of them read maps well?"] He asked as an afterthought. ["Because my companions and I may not be able to return to our village just yet, so they may need to make their way on their own."]
I have arrived
@ArmorPlated
Wait, are you saying there's a chance we get our own Grimoire Weiss for this RP?!
@Dark Cloud
Just make sure he doesn’t call her Anya while trying to woo her in the IC and I’m sure he’s got a shot!
Ok so I did make some brief edits to the last little bit. Mostly that instead of specifically saying human kindness, he just said he believed in humans, and I also changed his expression to be a lot more confident as well instead of just angry for that part.

@Zool Also yeah, thanks! I'll admit, I was worried how it would look to anyone who hadn't wasted an hour and a half on it, so it's good to hear it was so well recieved.
@Thinslayer
Thanks! Compared to my other weird, sleep-deprived, untethered stream of consciousness rants, I think it came out pretty decent too!
Nah, I don’t think it really fits at the moment. I’ll warn him in the next post.
Ok so I kind of went a little off track, but I finally got the post out. Forgot to warn David about not plotting against the witch right there, but oh well.
Chatak Claybitah



@Thinslayer@Dark Cloud@TheFox@Zerofighter@Zool



Chatak raised a brow for a moment at the humans confronting him, both the original pair and a couple of newcomers. Were they all reincarnations, or were some of them normal humans? He couldn't really tell honestly, but it was clear that none of them seemed to think much of him. Probably. Again, he wasn't great at common, but that seemed to be the general vibe he was getting from them.

Also the sword in his face. That definitely gave him the feeling they weren't big goblin fans.

"Oh? And why Chatak not talk, hm?" He asked, still looking fairly confident. He didn't feel that way, but he certainly faked it well. "Chatak want witch let humans go. What Chatak do? Fight? Witch have army. Chatak have Chatak. If Chatak fight, he die. So he talk. Simple, no?"

He looked to Yakeru now, 'calmly' stepping past the knight as he did his best not to show the fear he felt. He would just have to trust that Patches and the Alchemist had found Shaktak already, and they were watching from a hidden spot somewhere nearby for if something went wrong. The fact that the man hadn't killed him on the spot though seemed like a decent sign though, and if he kept up this facade of confidence, they'd be more likely to at least see where the conversation went.

"And if you not believe, how matter?" He asked. "What you do? Fight? Yes, you kill gobs on way here. Small groups. But you have same problem as Chatak. One person against whole army, very heroic, but only in stories. Maybe you strong, maybe you good with sword, but only one sword. Enemy have many. If gobs surround human, attack together? You talented, but you block twenty blade at once? No! You almost die right now to Wyvern! You fight now, you throw life away, change nothing. That why you have no choice but hope witch agree, like Chatak."

Finally, he turned to the third man. Thankfully, this one seemed reasonable enough to actually consider negotiations instead of just insulting and threatening him right out of the gate, so he could at least trust one of them to be mature.

"Chatak thank human for offer, but cannot accept." He said. "Humans think Chatak serve Witch, but he not. Chatak just Chatak. But Chatak not think other gobs agree either."

He sighed.

"You say serving Witch not gobs best option, but you wrong. Gob not welcome in world. Other race see gobs, they kill. No... what is word... mercy? No talk. Not try. Goblin filthy like rat. Need live in wild instead, where other race not look. Then gobs only worry about be eaten by animals, or die of cold, or hot, or hungry. If you live that life, but then human appear who not just not kill, but care, show kindyness, you would betray?"

He looked at the whole group now, the fear of being killed fading as four years of indignation and anger entered his voice.

"This problem human make. Witch human like you. But no, you good human! You not like Witch, you own person! But Goblin, no, not people, evil monsters! All same! Kill by hundreds with friends! Find cave full of gobs? It dungeon, not home. They all enemy fighter, not scared tribe! Men, women, baby, what different? No different! No need feel bad, just monsters to guard loot! You think goblin fight with Witch for no reason? Goblins have every reason to turn on humans!"

His glare was practically burning at this point, fuelled by the rage of an entire race. Alongside it though was something else. A confidence that not only matched, but surpassed the original facade he'd put up.

"And even then, Chatak still ask Witch to free humans. You know why? Because Chatak believes in human, even if humans not believe in Chatak back. Even when most humans stupid, cruel, insult Chatak, Chatak still know some human good. Chatak hope some human good. Chatak want world where human, gob, and all other race not fight, work together. But that world not happen on own, so Chatak make happen. Start today. Here. So you stop fight, before make worse. No more dead today."
