[Since the last event Raven has spent the entire time locked away in his room sleeping it off. Now however he feels as though that wasn't he wisest thing to do. So he's currently in the Barracks borrowing one of their standard wooden bows and practising hitting the targets. He doesn't seem to be doing very well though, he's broken a few window panes and even managed to hit himself with his own arrow. It'd be a wise idea to not stand anywhere near him, especially in front, he's not having a very good day.]

Does this person have a name?

[crisisrain]

Alexei Denoia.

[latkje]

Having two names is a signifier of nobility, where I'm from.

[crisisrain]

Really? I know lots of people with fore and surnames, even I do but it doesn't make noble.

[latkje]

Really. Maybe not full-blooded aristocrats, but definitely upper-class.

Still, this Alexei guy must have done a number on you, to get you so worked up!

[crisisrain]

Wait what do ya mean by "done a number". What you implyin'?!

[latkje]

That you seem to resent implications, for one thing!

[crisisrain]

I just don't like the guy much any more, that's all. And I don't swing that way either.

[latkje]

[Nash shakes his head.] That wasn't what I meant. At least, about the swinging.

[crisisrain]

Then what did ya mean?

[latkje]

That you really must not like him.

[crisisrain]

I'm not if that's an understatement any more.

[latkje]

Was it once?

[crisisrain]

No, more of "I seem ta be hating that guy more and more."

[latkje]

Hate is always unfortunate, but sometimes deserved.

[crisisrain]

Well he doomed the entire world so yeah, he deserves it.

[latkje]

That's quite a feat. How did he manage?

[crisisrain]

Well the long story short is that he got a barrier and a weapon mixed up while trying to wipe out the Empire.

[latkje]

The empire? Barriers?

[crisisrain]

The folks in charge and the shields that protect the towns from monsters. 'Cept that particular barrier was protectin' the whole world from a catastrophe.

[latkje]

Your world has only one empire? That's interesting.

[crisisrain]

Well there's the Empire and Guilds. The guilds consist of a few hundred different ones each with their own laws, the Empire is just one big one with a single set of laws.

[latkje]

Guilds aren't countries, though, so they must exist within the Empire.

[crisisrain]

No they're separate from the Empire entirely. They consist of the people who turned their backs on the Empire to begin with.

[latkje]

How can you turn your back on a country? And more importantly, what sort of country would let you?
