Valinn Jaypie's Links
Really upset at the fact that Moktus thinks she’s a stupid druggie, but has gotten over it. She tries not to interact with him, but still goes to his fight club every now and then just to flex in front of him.
After having to try to work with her, he decided that Valinn was nothing better than a useless bitch who complains all the time and does nothing but smoke. However, he still believes she’s a good fighter when focused.
Aemond keeps coming around every so often and pestering her to join his pirate crew. Why, just because he wants midbloods, and she's olive? Weird. Anyways, she'd rather get high and relax than have to fight for scraps. Sure, she wants to fight over at Moktus's place, but that's because she WANTS to at that time, not because she HAS to.
Valinn is someone Aemond is actively courting to try and recruit for his crew. Even though he keeps being rebuffed, he feels she would be a great addition if she would make an effort- she can be a very competent fighter if she tries.
Every time she wants to get in touch with Moktus, she has to go through THIS bitch. Annoying. Why can't the stupid seadweller mind her own damn business? Just step aside and let her talk to him!
Such a horrible brat. No wonder Moktus ordered her to keep this stupid oliveblood away from him. Eanius woudn't want to willingly interact with the stoner either.
She sees Inxlyn hanging around the spots she likes to hang out all the time, so she guesses they're acquaintances by now, sure. Super friendly guy, but at least he's not annoying to deal with like SOME trolls she happens to know...
He sees Valinn all the time whenever he's out and about for work. She's not very conversational, but then again she seems to be that way with everyone, so it's nothing personal. Always worth saying hello to, anyway!
Juulra is someone who hangs out at Moktus's arena just as much as she does. Valinn hasn't ever seen her fighting, but supposedly she's really good? But also, no one else seems to have seen her fighting either... so when the heck does she fight? It's grown from mild interest into a raging curiosity for Valinn, and that's super irritating, so now she's GOT to know!
Every time she ends her sparring bouts with Moktus, Juulra sees Valinn coming in to the arena. She stays for a long time, hanging out between the different halls, but she never fights herself... although Moktus has seen her fighting before? Hmm, weird. Well, not as weird as that feeling of being watched she now has whenever Valinn is around. Is... Is she being spied on?
Maemae's her dealer. If she had to guess, Valinn thinks she's the lightest customer in terms of severity of drugs Maemae's dealing with. Ah well, she'll make it up by stocking up well.
Stoners are by FAR the better clients to deal with. Good weed is easier than ever to get in the empire, what with all the latest and greatest highs competing against each other to see who can have the deadlier fix, your basic vanilla stuff is almost too easy to sell. Yet for the price, there sure seems to be a lot of it sold, enough for Maemae to keep it well stocked. Trolls like Valinn keep her in business when she has to lay low from dealing harder stuff, you know.
Albert's part of Maemae's gang. If she can't get ahold of her for whatever reason, Valinn can call him up for stuff instead. He's actually pretty nice, and she guesses he's a DJ in his spare time with all that punk rock he listens to? Neat.
Valinn's one of Maemae's customers. He doesn't like to intrude on his fellow gang member's business, but she'll actually ask him to take care of stuff if she has to go dark to keep off the drones' prying eyes. Usually that's just taking care of smaller, lighter deliveries. Usually just to Valinn, it's just weed, he can handle that business no problem. And hey, she likes his music, and she wants him to give recommendations, so that's an awesome bonus!
She sees Esmera hanging around many of her fave hangouts (outside of the arena, of course). She could've SWORN she smokes too, but she isn't. Or doesn't. Whatever. How can one troll be so chill and NOT be on something? She's... almost jealous, to be perfectly honest.
Esmera sees Valinn around the cafes and stores she hangs out at. Valinn is an oliveblood who loves to take it easy, but she does so through drugs. Just the sort of troll Esmera never wants to be like.
"... Yo I am WAY too stoned to deal with you. Pipe down, okay? You're a cute kid and all, but dial it WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY back."
"Vulase is everyone's friend!"
She sees Mochou all the time at Moktus's arena. She's their little cheerleader, right? Hmph, more like their jester, the one goldblood sandwiched in between a shit-ton of purples and violets? And she doesn't seem to mind? Weird and bizarre.
Mochou always sees Valinn while working at Lord Moktus's arena. The oliveblood seems to look down on her. How strange, when it is actually the goldblood who does the looking down on trolls like Valinn. The poor souls, they have no idea of either the power being kept at bay by the highblood overlords nor of the glorious revolution that will soon overthrow the Empress and all the current order. But Mochou knows of both! Poor souls.
That creepy purpleblood who runs the brothels Moktus has at the arena, right? Yeah, no way she'll ever go near that one. She can smile and wave at her all she wants, Valinn wants nothing to do with any of that nonsense.
Ah, it's one of Lord Moktus's many arena fighters. Olisia always sees that troll around. She'll smile and wave at her from afar as per usual; Valinn will startle, double-take, then hurriedly walk away as per usual. Same as always. Eanius has told everyone to never let her see Lord Moktus, but Valinn seems to stay away just fine anyways?
If the one creepy purpleblood lady running the brothels at Moktus's arena wasn't bad enough, Valinn actually has to interact with this creepy purpleblood lady running the casino, which makes things even worse. Same exact deal, smile and wave and act overly friendly to everyone when Valinn knows it's just an act. Damn it all though, it's either wait for Moktus (or that bitch Eanius) in the casinos or wait around in the outer yard of the arena and be bored out of her thinkpan. Either way, Valinn feels she loses.
Valinn, yes, the oliveblood imbiber of mind-altering substances that practically lives at Lord Moktus's arena. Eanius has warned everyone to keep the girl away, but Quovii fails to see the harm. She observes as Valinn halfheartedly plays a few slots or other games while waiting to see Lord Moktus. Of course, this shan't do, as customers should always be having fun! Thus Quovii takes it upon herself to visit with Valinn to cheer her spirits. She senses this makes Valinn uncomfortable, but she MUST have happy customers in the casino!
Valinn hasn't seen Bisree very often, but she's actually seen her at Moktus's arena once or twice, surprisingly enough. Valinn though she might be a weird lowblood mascot like Mochou, but much to her shock, she was told by Moktus and others there that Bisree was a fighter at one point, but she stopped coming after a personal disagreement with Moktus himself. What the heck was Moktus doing with a troll like her? Again, much like with Juulra, Valinn finds herself overly curious when she shouldn't be.
Bisree's only really interacted with Valinn online, otherwise she's only acquainted because of Moktus and the arena.
Out of all the creepy ass clowns working the casino halls, Valinn has always gravitated to this one to hang out at their table. Kardia's the least creepy out of all of them, she supposes. At least they're not too "fake" to her. And she guesses they know her enough by now that there's not a lot of unnecessary chit-chat, just manning the kinds of games that aren't gonna scramble her thinkpan while she waits. So yeah, she always hangs out here at Kardia's table then.
Valinn is a frequent guest at Lord Moktus's arena, and a frequent customer at the casino halls- specifically, at Kardia's tables. She knows Valinn's habits and choice of games by heart now. They're practically in quadrants!
Valinn has seen Pejila with another jadeblood frequently when she goes to that one huge grocery store in her neighborhood Valinn likes to shop at. Guess they love the food that's from there, too. But Pejila's one of those greenblood pirates, the ones that ceruleanblood captain Targyn's always trying to get Valinn to join. She seems way too soft to be a pirate, what the heck is a nice girl like that doing there?
Valinn is Leynix's relative, correct? Certainly know of her, but for some strange reason, Leynix never wants to discuss her at all. Perhaps an awkward family business reason, so Pejila's resolved to not bring her up in discussion. Yet she could be with Enyaba and Leynix at J's grocery store, see Valinn walk into the aisles, and Leynix immediately scuttles away! So it's like that, then? There's been nothing in those interactions that goes any further either, as she doesn't come over to talk or even wave their way. Curious.
Isobel is a lowblood healer and witch who has plenty of herbal medicine of all sorts. Yes, even the kind Valinn is usually after. She'd love to get some from Isobel, but the surly witch blows her off because of her blood color. So why the cold shoulder to anyone over gold? Come on, she's BARELY a midblood, right?
No. Just no. Normally she would even treat olivebloods if the need arose, but she's not dealing with a drugged-out stoner like Valinn. "No highbloods" have an exception rarely, but substance abusers are not allowed no matter the hemocaste.
