"Get out of here Lorentino." I always feel I don't get the respect I deserve, which is completely true, I mean I'm a god gods damn it! Like a literal god, me deigning to help you should make you entirely grateful! Not telling me to get lost! That's unacceptable!! I mean its nice people know me by sight now, but its also infuriating they tell me to not help!
"But I am a master negotiator." This is a lie, I'm terrible at negotiating, like as a business person you'd think I'd be better at it, but I've never really developed those skills since my go to negotiating technique is do what I say or I'll burn you to death, which works great in most situations, but wouldn't probably work here. Probably, but you never know until you try gods damn it!
"You are a masterful pain in the ass, someone please remove this man." A member of the guard shunted me away from the main group and told me in no uncertain terms to not come back (they were in the entrance area, the guard took me outside amongst the rabble to be rid of me). To anyone else this would be the end of it, but I'm Trezlan Gods Damned Lorentino! I know ways into buildings that haven't even been discovered yet (mostly through sewers, so not exactly kind ways into buildings, but still ways!). So a few moments later I was into the library proper and sneaking up on the guy who had hostages (you'll note at this point I could have just gone to the section I wanted to be in and done my research, but I wanted to help so my current goal was to give that assistance!
The hostage taker guy was someone magical (way to help the cause you jerk!) he had frozen most of the poor library staff into place which I'm sure was extremely painful as freezing magic is still frost and cold hurts (not as bad as fire mind you, but fire like everything good in life is great and terrible at the same time). He was rambling when I came upon him in the library, I believe he was talking with the guard outside the library, but at the same time he was just nuts so he could have been talking to himself (as opposed to me, recently minted god by a dream I had... See perfectly sane!) His rambling was none sense though, he was worried about divine retribution and wanted us all to repent our sins. As someone who recently carried out said retribution and had no idea who this dick was? Yeah I think he was up the crazy tree.
"Hold on crazy pants just put your magic down." I admit this probably was not the best way to start things off (see not the greatest negotiator) and things only went down hill from here. For me though, which sucked because as an intro to god hood this whole situation was emasculating!
