NPC Inbox: Rage
[Rage's strong and clear voice is almost bored, like this whole ordeal is an afterthought to her.]
State your business.
State your business.
Your species can be rather needlessly complicated at times. Do children provide exceptional amounts of anger?
[ oh GODDAMMIT what did he just get himself into, he is not having a child just for the first blade ]
Wouldn't know, i've never had one before but i'm thinking- if you're looking for exceptional amounts of anger, i've got it in spades. Hell, I've got more than I know what to do with. I've got this million year old curse, and i'm just looking for an outlet.

Oh, I've noticed.
[Rage smiles. It looks like such a peaceful and contented smile too.]
Your species in general is an angry one. You'll be producing your own anger either way though so it doesn't make much of a payment. That's still so weird, that you just go around feeling anything uncontrollably.
How about you first tell me what it is you want so I can think of what sufficient payment would be. There's plenty of blades in my armory, so I imagine the 'First Blade' must do something more than standard.

[ ...she would be all calm and collected, wouldn't she. Dean is somehow not surprised. ]
The First Blade- it's tied to the Mark of Cain. My curse, my burden to bear, however you wanna put it. I don't know nearly enough about it to give you the kind of specifics you're probably lookin' for, but the one time I got to hold it. [ Give him a second, he has to think of how to describe this. ]
-- It made everything about this disease feel easier. I felt, I don't know- invulnerable. But look, I get it, this isn't exactly something you can whip up in a backroom somewhere.

[Rage is ignoring the last part for now - she doesn't seem terribly bothered by any amount of difficulty.]
'Made everything easier' - do you mean it made it easier to take your aggression out on others, or easier to keep control of it? Those are two very different things.

It focuses everything- I mean, it doesn't turn down the noise in my head. But concentrates it, I don't- [ Wow, buddy. You are doing a shit job of explaining this, but he's only held it twice now and he doesn't have the best frame of reference here. ]
It's like I spend every waking minute trying not to fly off the handle and the second I took hold of that thing, there wasn't anything but the pure violence of it. I could've done anything, anything at all and it would've been right.

[Rage gives a thoughtful hum, brow furrowed as she considers this.]
So it let you turn off and on your violence as you chose rather than it just coming out whenever, and you didn't suffer any ill effects for it afterward? Like when you all got drunk but without the hangover?

[ Close. You are so close. ]
Drunk on it? Definitely. But I'm, uh- not sure there was an off switch. Not until I let go of it, at least. And I didn't want there to be.

That doesn't seem that difficult. I could make something that would serve the same purpose.
I'll need payment, of course, you understand. [Rage smiles, pleasant and friendly.] I need to use my energy to create it, so I'd need that renewed.
A body delivered to my altar, freshly killed. Not a monster's. Another of your species.

[ Why is he..... not even surprised that that's the payment plan. He can't even muster the nerve to look offended, just the same furrowed expression he's worn since the start of this conversation. ]
Gonna take a guess here and say you're not big on bargaining.

Not particularly, no.
[She gives a smile that might be apologetic on anyone else, and a little shrug to go with it.]
But, I can tell you that I am patient. My offers are very open ended that way. If you can refuse, you're obviously doing just fine without it. If that changes, you know what to do.

[ He's not doing fine without it. He's not doing fine period, but like hell he's going to be saying that out loud. ]
I'll keep it in mind.

[It should be noted that when he kills any Rotfiends, whether in groups or individually, he takes whatever remains he can gather to Rage's temple and dumps them there.]

[Bucky continues to get the ammunition exchange for the monster parts, as Rage's earlier deal stated. With his last drop off of five there's something extra on the altar for him along with the five clips of ammunition - a softly glowing red sphere and a note.]
Your mission is a success, you've killed them all wonderfully.
I thought you might get more use out of my blessing than Hope's.
Await further eradication orders.

[He's very appreciative of the blessing, but he's even more appreciative of the knowledge that he's completed a mission and done it well. He'll be using that blessing, sure enough, and will patiently await further orders.
He's not sure about the other gods, but he rather likes this one.]

My friend needs armor. A full set to replace what was lost.
What will it cost me?
What will it cost me?
You'll need to tell me about it first. Are there any magical properties involved? What did it look like? What was it made of?
Not that I am aware of. But it would be appreciated if you could strengthen it, so it could endure more punishment and require fewer repairs.
It was plate and chain-mail.
[She attaches a drawing of this armor]

That's doable, for a price.
Provoke a fight between two people. One that comes to blows if you want the armor strengthened.

[Maker, she hates having to resort to this.]
Does it matter if I am one of the participants, or must it be with two others?
