Sooo, if I happened to have a moral dilemma, you guys would be the ones to talk to right?
I would. What is it?
Well, the Jacks recently decided to go to war against the slaads. Not really unusual. I figured it was all good fun, everybody fights and then it's over. But then the guys kinda went overboard with the power gloating and Ambrosia Slaad is really ticked. I feel bad. She's my friend. But I'm a Jill and my loyalty is supposed to be with them. And I was actually really proud of them for winning, as sick as that probably is. I'm just not sure what the right thing to do is at this point. No matter what I do someone I care about ends up ticked off with me.
Hmm. Well, you are clearly loyal to the Jacks, but have loyalties to one of their enemies. It's tough. But, none of it is your fault. You are loyal to your family, and loyal to your friend. You cannot choose one over the other, nor should you. The Jacks probably will not strike again, and if they do, you can stop them. Just comfort your friend, I guess, and help her out. You can keep the Jacks from bugging her. I'm not really all that good at advice, but that's mine.
Somehow describing the Jacks as my family makes what I was doing last night seem very, very wrong. Congratulations, you've managed to trade one moral dilemma for another.
Um...well, they're like family in a frat party. Is that alright? I feel like this is one moral dilemma I should support.

As Ambrosia's sister, I'm sure she wouldn't want you to have to choose. Many of us step over the line and everyone makes mistakes (well, except those residents of Mechanus). She's been extra moody this last week, so don't blame the Jacks and certainly don't blame yourself. If it wasn't this, something else would have set her off. She definitely didn't want to come between you and your family.
Just give her a little time for her to cool off, ok? If you want, you can always pop by the thread, but we slaadi do seem to be more preoccupied with picnics than parties.
{orders another mimosa} Do you want a drink?
Yes a drink sounds wonderful, she said, starting to perk up. So, you're Ambrosia's sister. She mentioned you once. It's a pleasure to meet you.

But which side are you supporting? The side that says the naked jello wrestling was a bad idea or the side that thinks it was a good idea?

{Unseen Bartender delivers Lynora's drink} It's nice to meet you too. We haven't met before, right? I'm having a little trouble with my memory lately... and apparently my wardrobe too.
Edit: Hmmm, boards seem to be lagging a bit showing new replies.

No, we definitely haven't met before.
I see what you mean about the wardrobe.
*pulls a business card out of her bikini*
This is the number for a company that makes special orders for indestructible self-regenerating clothes. There's a bit of a wait for them, but after having my bikini vaporized so many times I think it's worth it. My shipment should be getting here tomorrow. I'm so excited about it. Anyways, I bet they could make a really nice catsuit for you if you wanted. It's really expensive though, so make sure not to use your own credit card.

Oooo, thank you. {already dreaming of new wardrobe}
Yeah, Ambrosia seems to be much more into bikini's and beachwear stuff. I seem to like more, um, exotic apparel. Just like she seems to be naturally more drawn to darker moods, and I'm generally more happy-go-lucky.

Moral Eel is glaring at me now isn't he.
Nah. I think she mentioned something about you had a hunky boyfriend? I don't know your BF, but sometimes guys forget to naturally show their appreciation and affection. So, when you buy something nice for yourself and he pays for it, you're just helping him. Besides, I think they all dread shopping and they have a hard time getting sizes and styles right... so you're even saving him all the hard work. {sips mimosa, starts trying to mentally retrace her own twisty logic in that bit of rationalizing.}

You understand!!! ^.^
Most people totally don't follow that logic. :)
And he really does hate to shop. Unless he gets to sit in the dressing room and watch me try stuff on. :)
I like you. You need to come to some of the parties. You know, if you want to.

See! I knew I was right. Plus, since you shopped for him, then he didn't have a chance to forget, so there are no hurt feelings or arguments.
Ambi and I seem to be the only two girl slaadi. So when she agrees with that line of logic, I don't know if it's 'cause we're sisters or 'cause it's just common sense. The boys eyes just glaze over and then they just go back to talking about picnics and violence and implanting eggs.

I'd like to, but I'm slaad too, so the Jacks probably won't like it if I pop in. Maybe some neutral ground... I was gonna suggest here 'cause I'd heard it was a rocking club, but it seems pretty sedate now.

Yeah, I guess not until things calm down some, huh.
Oh, this place? Well, my friends Muffy, Molly, and Mindy and I wanted a girls night out, and you can't have a girls night out if you don't go out. So we kinda crashed this place and temporarily turned it into a rave. But there's no reason why we can't do that again, she said, brightening. I can get the girls together and we can have a party right here.

Hey! I'll have you know that we have a very exciting game going here!
Ooh, I landed on Community Chest! Score one for the fish!

Angel Fish, there's no money there.
Also, ladies? Use somebody else's credit card and I'll have to smite chaos.

I don't know, everything they just said made sense. Everyone stays happy and in love, no arguments or fights... sounds like a big net gain for the Greater Good. Of course, I'm a girl too.
And even you Mr. Eel know how evil credit cards can be.
Are you going to let Lawful get in the way of Good?

Dammit, stop toying with his mind! You're taking advantage of his excessive morality!
Look, I have trouble with any Jack or Jill knowing the meaning of 'love'. Didn't that stop when the dimensions split into serious and non serious RPing? But anyways, they can afford it with their own money. No stealing!

I don't want to fight or argue or ruin your Cosmopoly. Here- {offers second shrimp cocktail} want a shrimp? It's freely offered, no deception involved. I haven't even nibbled on them, so no girl cooties either.

Um, no. That's like a human eating a bird. It'as wrong. Thanks anyways.
Ooh, doubles! Landing on Community Chest AGAIN! For...one dollar.

*looks confused*
So this is probably not the time to explain things like fried chicken to Angel Fish?she whispered to Eekster
Um, no. That's like a human eating a bird. It's as wrong.

{looks up from basket of fried onion rings, fried grouper sandwich, and fried chicken strips} No, tha wuh beh- {swallows} Excuse me No, that wouldn't be a good idea. I wonder how he looks at all the other marine life that are carnivores. Or even animals like cats, who are obligate carnivores.

{quickly hides shaker of fish flakes made by the Soylent Corp} Um, don't worry about it dear fishy. It appears you... ran out. I'm sure the barkeep can round up some tasty seaweed or parsley or otherwise vegan for you to munch on.
Um, no. That's like a human eating a bird. It's as wrong.

{offers Lynora some onion rings}
Oh, thank you. Mmm. These are tasty.
Yeah, I'm not sure what he thinks about carnivores. He seems to be very sheltered.
Uh-oh. Speaking of carnivores, I better get Spike some food soon. He's getting hungry again. I hope Slip & Slaad has another dire shark for him to eat. He really likes his sushi.
If that Celestial Follower would come back around, we would have all sorts of finger foods. Let me take my turn and then I will throw some pizza rolls in the microwave.
*Pays $50 to get out of Carceri again. Rolls. Lands on Limbo.*
{sneaks a couple fried chicken strips to Spike} Shhhh, don't tell Lynora, I'm not sure if your little furnace of a stomach has to worry about cholesterol or not, but better to play it safe and not eat too much fried stuff.
Hey, Lynora, I'll buy Limbo for 500 dollars to complete the set of Chaos-aligned planes.
Okay. I'm gonna have to step out of this game anyways. It's feeding time for Spike, and I wouldn't be a responsible pet owner if I didn't find him something big and fierce to munch on.
