Kryn entered the room sliding easily through the back wall, old habits die hard. Everyone else seemed to be here but she didn't care about that. Soon the fighting would begin, a brief lull in evading assassination attempts and even some money if she won.
'we don't even use money' Rydell whispered from the depths of her mind
'But what about the get out of assassination free card, that's got to count for something' Kryn responded sarcastically
'And maybe we'll be able to eat real food for a change' Rydell said wistfully
'What's wrong with pot noodle?'
'Well you did make it using beer once'
'Didn't we give that one to the hopeless romantic who wanted to kill us in our sleep'
'You ate it too, and don't be so nasty about my cousin'
'Dear god killing him would have been a mercy. If you weren't there I would have stabbed the fool the moment he began reciting his own dodgy poetry'
''It wasn't that bad'
'the stars shine out with holy zeal, as our paths begin to congeal... What the hell kind of poetry do you call that?'
'Admitidly it had its bad points'
'It was like that the whole way through!'
'What about... The pendulum of time keeps swinging, slicing out the seconds lingering'
'Hey, you know I made up the last part because he forgot his words'
'True...'
At this point Kryn noticed her competitors staring at her, she flung her hands into the air.
"let's all watch the crazy lady talk to herself,wont that be fun" She said flippantly. Though this seemed to make people stare at her more, she felt a lot better. She didn't need to talk to anyone, Rydell's constant chattering was bad enough.
'I can see every thought you have you know' Rydell said flatly
'Yes, we once had to have a long chat about mommy's and daddy's when you started poking around were you don't belong'
'It's not my fault I no longer have a body'
'So? Why mooch off mine?'
'...Imagine me storming off in a fit of hysterical rage' Kryn began to laugh under her breath. Ah well, no one was going to bother her know, she just had to wait until the thing began.
"I wonder if there's something to drink?"
