warlock: [bard], you might be best suited to handle this situation... you know the most about being diplomatic...

the bard, who is constantly rude and mean to everyone for literally no reason and often to the party's detriment, and my fighter who is constantly mad at her for it:

#'WELL but YOU'RE good at-- but-- I mean--'#everyone else: ????? no??????#babe you are confusing her on-paper high persuasion and deception skills with her actual played out behaviors #she can roll a high persuasion but only after setting herself a wildly high DC by being as aggressively undiplomatic as possible ajdjfksjd #talia has gotten our asses out of insanely bad trouble with some insanely good fast talking but Diplomatic She Ain't #talia is a constant source of frustration for aubree because she's offputtingly full of herself and rude AND conversationally assertive #so my very down to earth rustic hospitality halfling has to come in behind her and try to run damage control if she wants a friendly angle #'I fuckin swear we're not all assholes. no yeah I have no idea why she's like this'#THAT SAID-- maybe what lisbet was alluding to is: where we hate or distrust the people we're dealing with talia can Play that situation #if it benefits us to play those cards close-- like maybe she's still a rude ass but it's in her normal full of herself way #aubree gets surly and aggressive it's not in her nature to pretend not to be angry for some benefit or to be diplomatic when she's pissed #absolutely no intentions of playing nice with enemies or assholes no matter the benefit-- much to MY chagrin as a player ahskfjsks #anyway this was just really funny #talia herself being like '??? since when. no I'm not'#my OCs #aubree
