why is it that whenever someone is doing SOMETHING unethetical, that man is involved

[shadovvheart]

one hilarious example of veilguard's writing doing the quite aggressive hand-holding during a conversation to make sure people don't miss the important info. this is all in the same scene btw:

in case you missed: elgar'nan is HERE. right NOW. unlike ghilan'nain, who isn't.

i've adhd and auditory processing issues so i get easily distracted by the most random stuff but even i felt annoyed by the constant bombardment of repeated info over and over throughout the main quests

The Job Board system, which in terms of overseeing tends to fall somewhere between the Explorer's Association and the mail service, is a system that allows bugs across Bugaria to send off jobs to any bug who might take them. It is known primarily for its incredible efficiency at copying and posting jobs throughout Bugaria, as well as its ability to take down jobs that have been completed within a day of their fulfillment.

Just about any bug can post a mission through this system, with some light checks to make sure it's legitimate, and just about anyone can take a mission - with some caveats. The more difficult a mission is marked as, the more likely you are to need to show some proof of ability- occasionally very eclectic proof of ability. While an Explorer's Permit can allow you to shortcut almost all low-end requirements, anyone who isn't registered in the system will have to repeatedly prove aptitude for low-end jobs, which can get exceptionally annoying very fast, particularly as the Job Board and publicly accessible jobs tend to be almost exclusively to the low end of things.

Technically an extension of the Job Board system, the Bounty Board handles a lot of relatively high-paying jobs, often put up using communally-raised funds rather than a single person. While the Job Board gathers jobs of comparatively low importance, and allows them to be taken by anyone, the Bounty Board is specifically for jobs that are anticipated to be difficult enough to need a whole crew of bugs.

The requirements to run an outpost of a bounty board are significantly more rigorous than the standard job board, as applicants going after these jobs are much more rigorously vetted - an Explorer's Permit will often serve as a way to help you shortcut the line, putting all of your prior accomplishments in easy reach and allowing the certified offices that run these jobs to make an easy background check on you.

Alternatively, of course, some less legitimate venues can piggyback off the certification of an actual office, pretending to be another location and allowing you to shortcut the entire certification process to obtain the reward without having to prove your capability to do a job. Technically speaking, jobs taken in Doppel's tavern will show up as being taken from the bounty board office run by Utter - though this establishment doesn't technically have a physical location.

Unlike with a typical bounty board mission, you also get paid up front upon providing a specified part of the slain monster, rather than having to wait for the kingdom you're working in to certify the danger is gone before wiring you your reward. Also unlike with a typical bounty board mission, the house will take a certain cut of your reward. These venues may also take "unofficial" bounties - organized by parties who can't or won't go through the official venues to get a problem handled, or simply by people who are hunting for specific parts of a monster. You won't be tested as thoroughly before taking the job- but your client won't be, either.

wip snip 6.1

i'm finally going to start posting my first bloodweave fic on friday (🥲 i know, i just love posting on fridays)!!! lol i did want to keep it under postable wip length but...if you know me, you know my struggle with word count. this is long 🙃

this is a no tadpole AU (pre-tadpole?? maybe?) where gale, a very Important chosen of mystra, comes to stay at the szarr palace to conduct very Important magical research; cazador agrees to gain a powerful ally and mystra's favor. astarion is sent to ~entertain gale (cw for canon-typical sexual coercion, and for cazador in general) and it does not go even remotely like he expects it to. here's a snippet from their not very cute meetcute. enjoy!

Astarion’s not entirely sure who he hates most in that moment—Cazador, speaking about him like he’s not in the room, or Gale, eyeing him avidly, his gaze scraping across Astarion’s face in a way that would make him blush if he were capable of it. Or maybe himself, for reacting to Gale’s attention like a blushing maiden, even if he can’t look the part.

Of course, he can’t blush because he’s bloody starving, and that really answers the question of who he hates most: Cazador, the easiest answer there ever is. That doesn’t make things better when Gale gives another short bow and says, “It’s lovely to meet you, Astarion.”

He holds out his hand for Astarion to shake. Astarion stares down at it, feeling his lip curl in distaste, and would let it hang there if not for Cazador leaning into his space, a tight, quiet fury alight behind his eyes.

Astarion sighs and takes Gale’s hand. It’s warm, of course, with a firm but gentle grip. His palm is rather soft, no doubt evidence of pursuits more scholarly than martial to go with his figure. He shakes Astarion’s hand once, twice, then lets it go with another nod.

“Have a good evening,” Gale tells him, and then he heads off towards where Yousen is hovering anxiously near a platter full of different cheeses. “I do love a good cheese plate,” Gale can be heard telling Yousen, his voice about ten degrees warmer, and Astarion can’t help a snort as Yousen smiles tentatively up at him.

“You are a disgrace,” Cazador hisses right in his ear. “An absolute humiliation.”

Astarion winces, bites down on instinctive protests—if he could just feed, perhaps he’d be able to muster up some more social grace—but Cazador cuts off the very start of his faint apology.

“No. I will not hear it. I should send you straight to Godey.”

The ‘should’ stops Astarion up—it seems inevitable that he’ll be sent there anyway—and he blinks at Cazador, who shakes his head.

“You don’t deserve this, but he seems to have an—interest. Consider yourself lucky.”

Astarion’s skin crawls. He glances over to where Gale is still talking to Yousen, presumably about cheese—but also casting glances over at Astarion. He whips his gaze away as soon as Astarion catches it, terribly obvious, and Astarion clenches his fists. Lucky, indeed.

“You will go to him,” Cazador says, nothing but contempt in the clear command. “You will please him; you will let him use you as he wishes. He so very clearly wishes. Do you understand?”

“Yes,” Astarion says, gritting his teeth. He feels disgusting, empty—devoid of blood, of sustenance, all that lies within him is this.

“I don’t believe you. Repeat what I said.”

Stomach roiling, eyes now planted on the rich red carpeting beneath his feet, Astarion repeats, “I will please him. I will—I’ll let him use me as he wishes.”

“Indeed you will,” Cazador spits out, and then he stalks off, leaving Astarion alone by the sideboard, shoulders hunched and gaze stuck low.

The wizard doesn’t approach him again for the rest of the reception, which is as short as predicted. He eats his fill of cheese and meats, apparently unconcerned that he’s the only one. He chats up Leon, brightening visibly when he gets him to admit to being a sorcerer, but spreads his attention evenly—to everyone except Astarion, that is.

For Astarion, he only has fleeting glances, a brief nod every time they lock eyes. Astarion watches him shamelessly, clutching his disgusting wine. He wonders if he’ll be able to taste the better-quality drink on Gale, and supposes he’ll have to find out soon.

Both sooner than Astarion would like and after much too long, Dufay announces that the hour nears to retire, since Gale of Waterdeep must be exhausted from his travels. Gale agrees readily enough and bids goodnight to everyone in the room as they drift off, back to the dormitory or, for some, out into the night as instructed, bringing victims back for a party that’s already ended, a feast only for one.

“Goodnight,” Gale tells Astarion on his way out. His gaze lingers, almost searching, and drifts only when Astarion gives him a better approximation of a smile and says, “Until we meet again, dear wizard.”

Gale speeds up his exit a bit after that; the back of his neck is slightly reddened.
