Chapter 2

Even more recently (8/4), Blingderny wandered into the Inn of the Eternal
Star to buy some food, and saw Damil speaking to a water skin.' Finding it
odd, he made some sarcastic remark, but then Rarywey's presence was revealed
and it became obvious that there was already a conversation between her and
Damil. Blingderny felt a bit out of his league, and mostly kept quiet,
except when spoken to, when requesting more meat balls, or when he felt ready
to make a well-timed quip or remark. A couple things came out of this
conversation, however, that, along with the previous interaction just a day
or two before, further churned what had already begun stirring inside him.

The first was Rarywey asking Blingderny if he was giving his devotion to an
Immortal. Blingderny had not given this any thought, shiftless as he is, but
for the first time felt inadequate because of it. He was a bit stricken, but
also a hint of resolve materialized within him.'Damil pushed him further,
telling him to "get his name out there" and asking of his ambitions but,
having none, Blingderny felt ostracized.

The second piece of the conversation worth noting came from a story Rarywey
told, about past friends, one of them being a murderer, albeit a friendly
one. Blingderny quickly made comment that "The Friendly Murderer" belonged
as a stage production in that very establishment, which was met with some
amusement by the other two. However, Damil quickly suggested that the title
needed great improvement, and Blingderny was equally parts hurt as he was
angry. In his anger, he quickly devised a plan he hoped would hurt Damil's
feelings. Knowing Damil is a chef, Blingderny came up with the idea to for a
new cabal, the "Kitcheners," and suggested a banner get put up above the
kitchen in the Inn saying "More meatballs for the meatball gods, more gravy
for the gravy boats!" He took this a bit further to say the Kitchen would
ensure seasoning returned to the gods, as mortals cannot be trusted to wield
such delicious power without corrupting themselves and those around them. To
this end, their powers are Truesauce and Spicebowl. Damil seemed excited
about this, which pleased Blingderny. Blingderny even quickly went out and
got the Item of Power, a large wooden spoon. Damil eagerly wanted to where
to obtain this, but that is when Blingderny decided to "hurt" him. He
refused to disclose its location, being his Item of Power, and said the Inn
could not house the Kitcheners and, in fact, they were enemies (of a sort).
This likely dismayed Damil at best, but Blingderny, childish as he is, felt
pleased with himself, as if he "punished" Damil.

Time will tell if Blingderny continues this charade, as his overwhelming
nature is to sit back and want things without the drive to go out and achieve
them for himself, but with this seed planted with him, who can say if this
will end up Center stage, or something else?
