Terenea

[JesterofEntropy]

... alrighty then. He picks up his bag and simply walks outside into the hall thinking of exactly how he could cause the most pain to his father. Come on.

[That Guy]

She follows you obediently, as you move through the rather large mansion, the maids seem to wink or smile at you as you pass them by. The large city of Terenea is a metropolis, perhaps even the largest city on the continent of Jeirun. The colosseum and Arcane Acedemy's central spire can be seen easily in the distance along with the royal palace built like a pyramid but with the tip flat. It doesnt take you long to get to the market center as it is the largest section of the city. Your familiar follows behind you looking at all the various sights, and probably smells. As usual, your empathic link is filled with curiosity.

[JesterofEntropy]

Purposefully avoiding eye contact with the maids he quickly went his way out into the city. As they headed for the trading kiosks huddeled around the district Servius tried, both in attempts and patience, to explain to her some of the things she saw. As they walked his coin purse was kept very close, it wasn't often he walked around with too many valuables out int he open. When they finally reach a reputable dealer he went over the specifics he memorized about his familiar. I'm in no mood to abrter and I have a very long list of thing I need from you. Starting with the basics, I'll need some decent heavy armor preferably made of mithral, some items for protection, menatlly and physically, and let me look at your weapon stock

[That Guy]

After some time sifting through the various armor and weapon shops you find what you were looking for, though playing dress up with your familiar wasnt something you expected to do, especially when the staff for that particular store couldnt stop giggling at your presence. Two hours later and your familiar was all dressed up and looked like large doll.

[JesterofEntropy]

As he thought about the many ways he could invoke pain upon his father he made short leave of the shop. There were only two hours left before it was his turn in the tournament and he had to go prepare for that soon, his father could wait. After parting with the necesarry platnium they headed back off for the mansion. On the way, probably to the distaste fo hsi snaity, he tried to start conversation. You really do need to start thinking fo something to call yourself, you do understand what a name is right? Like for instance, my name is Servius... He swore on Weejas' testicles that this was harder than trying to talk to a child.

[That Guy]

"I am a servant and you are the master", she seems lost on your words again.

[JesterofEntropy]

No.. ugh... from now on you will either refer to me as Servius, or sir, which ever you prefer. No more of the 'master' horse****, it creeps me out. As they pass by a maid he motion for her to follow. My.. uh, familiar needs some help with her garb, will you attend to that for me?

[That Guy]

"Familiar?!" exclaims the maid, "She is your familiar??"

[JesterofEntropy]

Yes, though I still think it's just an illusion my father conjured to annoy the nine hells out of me. He continued on to his room. This day could best be described as a hangover enthralled nightmare for his health and sanity. I've no time to worry about playing doll with her, hurry up. Not normally as curt as this, but hey, who could blame him?

[That Guy]

"A..Alright", the maid turns to your familiar "come this way dear", the maid leads your familiar away and into a small side room.

[JesterofEntropy]

After going to his room and closing the door he contimplated why couldn't just gotten a raven or owl as his familiar, his mind would've thanked him for that. Going over to his bed and flinging himself down onto it. Today was goign to be a very long one... Father, if you're scrying me right now I'm going to have a very long word with you after the tournament.

[That Guy]

A small sliver of blue light appears in your room, you recognize it as dimension door and before you can attempt to even dispel it, your father hops through closing the portal behind him.

[JesterofEntropy]

Rolling up his yes for a brief moment. What is it now, another gift, cause honestly I think I'm about to find a barbarian and have him rend my skull. Sitting up one the corner of his bed.

[That Guy]

"Ah my son, you shouldnt spurn your father so, but im intrested in the results of my little experiment", he looks around the room, he looks back at you "Did it work??"

[JesterofEntropy]

Servius half wondered if a fireball might improve the decor of his room. Define worked..

[That Guy]

"Well it was supposed to make a humanoid of some kind that followed your every command, why the perfect servant if i do say so myself!"

[JesterofEntropy]

Gods you truely are selfimposed Standing up from his perch and walking over to the water pot and trying to rinse away past few hours of mental mutilation. In that you did accomplish your goal. Truely mindless. But with enough self-knowing to concider the 'servitude' inhumane in my opinion.

[That Guy]

"Pah they may as well be a construct, it has no soul mind you"

[JesterofEntropy]

I could say the same. Looking up from the wash basen and whipping his face clean. Listen, I haven't had much time to try and figure out what you've made, I'm more concerned with today's events. We can talk about this later. Hmm, maybe not a fireball, too messy, powerword pain on the other hand.

[That Guy]

"Nonsense!" Your father sniffs in dismissal at your souless statement. "You need not be concerned, im sure you will do excellently today!"

[JesterofEntropy]

Oh, I didn't mean to sound worried, I've every intention of destroying the first few rounds. I just wish they'd give me the regulationals soon, it's rather annoying just sitting here and waiting for a messenger. Having nothing better to do the anxious mage took up the blue book hsi father had left before. Listen father, I need to know more about this 'construct' and I've little time to read through this. Plopling the tome back down on the table.

[That Guy]

"Oh ?? First you were berating me for making it and now you want me to tell you all about it?!"

[JesterofEntropy]

Of course I am, purpose set aside, I'm still obliged to take care of 'it' and what have you. And by the way, she seems to have some sentience to her. Not sure if that was in your plan or not.

[That Guy]

"Yes well they do have intelligence but not sentience in the true sense that we have souls and they do not, A female you say?" He seems to be contemplating this.

[JesterofEntropy]

Oh Gods! I thought might've rigged it like that just for your amusment. This isn't a game to me you know. Used to the antics his father usually had, the maid staff had complained several, several times. So how does it work?

[That Guy]

"Hmph!, didnt i give you an instruction manual ??"

[JesterofEntropy]

That's exactly why I'm asking you instead.

[That Guy]

"Ahhh but half the fun is finding out all the little things you can make it do!",with that your father casts dimension door and does his little hop into it and disappears in a bright blue flash.

[JesterofEntropy]

Servius takes in a deep breath, walks over to his door, looks at it for a long moment, and enbeds his forehead into the door. A very long day....

[That Guy]
