Fair greetings! Lord Torrentes the Third of Venerable House Bilal, a Minor House underneath the Major House of Smoke here; This may come as incredibly strange, as one such as myself would not be expected to contact, hire nonetheless, a group of "Dirty" and "Uncouth" mercenaries from outside the Karrakin Trade Baronies, but I frankly do not give quite the amount of fucks required to please my Noble contemporaries, but I do indeed desire your security services. Not only do I offer two-thousand units of Manna for each of your mercenaries, but I also offer gossip, dirty secrets, free seats for several Pankration Mekhani matches, and perhaps a bursting a Hagipgraphic Noble's nerve by sheer annoyance. Transport to the Baronies will be paid for by yours truly. Why do I require these services? Let us say that upsetting Stonelord Ferdinand Cannamos, the baron of the House of Stone, which is deeply Hagiographic and affiliated rather closely with the infamous House of Sand, may not be a good idea in the long-run. Unfortunately, Lord Cannamos is incredibly amusing and easy to upset, so I could not help myself. - High Lord Torrentes the IIIrd of Venerable House Bilal.
// ...well. This is certainly a first for our squadron; we have served many clients in our time with MSMC, but to be called to service at the direct behest of the Baronies themselves? I... I'm not entirely sure what to say in response; this is uncharted territory.
hang on a sec - isn't Torrentes the same guy who kungpowpenised the House of Stone a while back? and now he wants to hire us to piss the same person off again??? holy shit, the absolute stones (er, no pun intended) on this motherfucker - I hate to admit it, but I kinda respect the hustle
> Slipshod is correct; High Lord Torrentes is indeed the same noble who orchestrated the public humiliation of Lord Cannamos. I will openly admit to my suspicions regarding this contract offer, as we have already desecrated the Baronies once prior. Furthermore, declaring open alliances among warring houses in such a volatile political climate is unlikely to fare well for us, especially with two of the most dangerous Hagiographic houses openly conspiring against our would-be contractor.
// I fully agree, Kennedi - this offer puts not only our would-be employer's life at risk, but all of us as well. That being said, two thousand Manna apiece is nothing to scoff at, and the offer of receiving potentially incriminating information relevant to the Baronies is rather tempting. The payment suits the job, does it not?
> ...hmph. Consider me sufficiently intrigued; you have my permission to accept this contract. Dress uniforms will be a must, of course - the last thing we need to do is leave a poor impression of MSMC on such influential hosts as the Karrakin Trade Baronies.
look, I'll be completely honest here - I dislike dealing with the KTB as much as you two do, but this I have to hear more about; stuffy dress uniforms be damned. sign me the fuck up, chief!
// Then it appears we have reached a consensus. High Lord Torrentes III of Venerable House Bilal, MSMC-796 "Heaven's Fury" accepts your offer of employment. Allow us a brief time to prepare for our term of service, and we shall be ready to depart for the Baronies shortly.

#lancer rpg#lancer ttrpg#lancerrpg#+ fuckin' hate these stupid dress uniforms - the fabric is crunchy and stiff and itchy as all shit#+ you really oughtta pull some strings and get us some nicer uniforms next time around P - these current ones suck ass#> compared to the uniforms of the Armory those of MSMC are remarkably well-suited to their purpose#> I would much prefer a uniform which actually fit me properly to the one-size-fits-none suits HA calls their dress uniform#> besides - MSMC permits personalization of the dress uniform; HA would sooner see you shot dead than let you alter your fatigues#// given how infrequently we actually wear these things I think you can suck it up for a single deployment Shoddy#// they certainly look nicer than all of those ratty tank tops you insist on wearing when Upper Management comes calling#+ excuse you! I happen to LIKE those tank tops! >:(#> I don't think it's the state of the shirts so much as the content so brazenly displayed on them that upsets UM Slipshod#+ look - if UM didn't want a [AUTO-CENSORED BY PILOTNET] proclaiming their status in the hangar then they shouldn't have hired me >:P#correspondences with: High Lord Torrentes III#OOC: not sure what to call this arc of MSMC lore - the Baronic Intrigues arc? something else TBD as the plot develops???#guess we'll have to go back and tag this later once I figure that out bc I have a feeling this is gonna be a longer arc
