Fish Poison?

"Wake up Mr. Lorentino." A side effect of having been captured, poisoned and assaulted at all times is I have grown remarkably able at falling asleep in weird situations.

"No no I didn't request a wake up call how about you go away and come back with breakfast later." I had been strung up on a post and naked, because when you have someone powerless taking their clothes off gives you that extra special creepy factor. I was in a dirt dungeon area, stone walls, the post I was attached to extended to the ceiling and had my feet off the ground. I had to tip my hat to my own ability to sleep during this particular incarceration.

"Cute, did you enjoy the poison?"

"It was a bit tarter than my normal brew, I think I'd prefer it with sugar next time." No matter how bad a situation looks always always be an asshole.

"It comes from fish, specifically their liver, its a strange defensive measure in that something that eats the fish would then become paralyzed and most likely eaten by something else."

"I believe there's a parrallel to that and the very poor, but alas I can't make it." There was only one guy in front of me, his regal attire and preponderence of Red tells me he was a former member of their council (they were always so flamboyant) most likely the person Telrrax wanted me to get the collar from (I say most likely becuase she never did actually tell me who I was supposed to go after, I guess that was something I probably should have asked about, but two weeks of vommitting tends to drain a man).

"I expected more of you." He was sizing me up, white skinned no blemish's, looked like the only time he saw the sun was when he was verifying the world was still there, so once a year.

"I expected less of you, funny how that works." Again I didn't know who this was, but refer back to Lorentino's number one rule.

"The great Necromancer, the destroyer of governments! Trezlan Lorentino a petty man with petty little comebacks."

"The guy who is in front of me some kind of red fetishist! Wait damn it you said I had petty comebacks."

"I'll enjoy torturing you for what you've done."

"When its all done we'll settle up after, I just want you to know that." He left, I'd like to think I got the better of him but I was naked shackled to a post off the ground and I'd been drugged by fish liver poison. So it was probably more a draw? I mean thats being generous to him right?
