Session 4
Why have enemies when you can have friends like these?
Adaline - Welcome newcomers, you’re each here as an advocate for your friend. Let’s get introductions done. Natia, you go first.
Natia - This is Duncan, my best friend and he’s a warlock.
Cora - Warlock? Is that like a witch?
Duncan - No.
Natia - Touchy subject.
Adaline - Now you, Cora.
Cora - This is Sebastian, my oldest friend, he’s a vampire prince.
Natia - You drink blood?
Sebastian- Yes.
Natia - You drink her blood?
Hudson - Touchy subject.
Adaline - Now you, Hudson.
Hudson - This is Dave, chief of security.
Archan - You expecting a fight?
Dave - No, but you can never be too careful. If these two want to hash it out, that’s mate business.
Cora - There is no mate business, because there is no mate.
Adaline - And finally, Archan.
Archan - This is Zac, head of security.
Hudson - Huh.
Archan - What?
Hudson - We both brought protection against the women we want. Not sure what that says about us.
Zac - That you can’t be trusted to think with your brains rather than your balls.
Dave - That’s right, we are the brains.
Cora - Not the B word I would associate with you.
Dave - And what B word would you use, undertaker?
Cora - Bread.
Natia - Ohh bread 🤤
Duncan - Undertaker?
Cora - An unfortunate nickname some buffoon came up with. That’s it!
Hudson - What’s it?
Cora - Buffoon, that’s your B word, Dave.
Natia - Good one. My nickname is Locks.
Adaline - If we can just get back to why we are here?
Archan - I don’t have a nickname.
Zac - Me either, we are gods, above nicknames.
Natia - 😳
Archan - 😳
Zac - What? I don’t have a nickname.
Everyone - .......
Zac - 🤨
Adaline - Zac, take your seat please. There’s no nickname.
Natia - It’s not bad.
Adaline - 🤦♀️
Archan - It’s nothing to do with me.
Zac - JUST SPIT IT OUT.
Natia - It’s informative.
Zac - I swear to the creator, woman... if you do not-
Natia - Paddy Waddy Zaccy.
Zac - 😤
Cora - 🤣
Zac - I do not have paddies.
Adaline - Right, moving on. The idea here is that your advocates can see things about you that you may not recognise. Perhaps give you an insight into your relationship issues.
Natia - So, they are doing your job?
Adaline - What? No.
Natia - But you're the pseudo therapist who’s having group meetings with fictional characters in your head.
Cora - Yeah, maybe you should be in therapy.
Duncan - Stop picking on Adaline.
Adaline - Thank you, Duncan.
Sebastian - You know you just thanked yourself, right?
Adaline - Would you like to survive book 2?
Natia - 😬
Archan - I know you are newish to Adaline’s world, but she’s a ruthless monster with no hang ups on sacrificing a main character.
Hudson - How main?
Natia - 🥶
Adaline - If it’s necessary for the plot, I won’t hesitate.
Hudson - And what do you think that says about you?
Adaline - Nothing.
Dave - 🤔
Adaline - What?
Zac - I think it says you are a psycho taking out your issues on unsuspecting characters in your books.
Adaline - Again, do you want to survive book 3?
Zac - At this point I’d be surprised if anyone survives.
Adaline - 🙄
Cora - Maybe you should bring a friend next time, Adaline?
Adaline - Errr no.
Zac - Why, because you have none?
Adaline - Do you know what the delete key does on a keyboard?
Natia - Gets rid of bad decisions?
Hudson - Yeah, and replace them with worse ones.
Sebastian - Speaking of bad decisions, I heard a rumour about Dave and Adaline.
Adaline - Sebastian, back away from the gossip.
Dave - 😏
Cora - Ohhh what?
Natia - Yeah, spill the beans.
Archan - Anything that can be used as blackmail to return Natia to me will be greatly rewarded.
Adaline - Sebastian...
Cora - Rewarded like how?
Archan - You want Hudson off your property?
Cora - Yup.
Hudson - Liar.
Archan - Consider it done.
Hudson - Try it, buddy, and those pretty feathers of yours will be lining my pillow tonight.
Sebastian - So Dave is apparently based off Adaline’s actual husband.
Cora - 😮
Hudson - 🤣
Natia - 🤔
Archan - 🙄
Duncan - 😤
Adaline - Duncan, what’s wrong?
Duncan - Nothing.
Natia - Dude, you can’t huff and not tell her.
Adaline - Tell me what?
Duncan - I thought I was your fictional husband.
Adaline - Oh erm 😬
Dave - Nope, that’s me. 😏
Hudson - Your husband grows fur and howls at the moon?
Adaline - 🤷♀️
David - Only on weekends.
