Aspen...

I have seen you act in a manner in which goblins would be ashamed to act.
I find you to be rude, presumptuous and quite plainly lacking in honor.
I would rather see Lupton with a Baron's ring, than see you with one.

Someone once said to me that the Arena is not a day-care center. Well, I'm glad of that... at least my daughters are better behaved and more well mannered than the sort of person that Aspen presents himself as.

Aspen Smiles reading Drake's post.

Ah but you don't realize why I am like that, for if you did you would not say such mean things about me. You might also come to like me, but most people don't have the patience to become my friend and see through my exterior behavior for the person I really am. As for honor, it is relative, you don't beleive me to have honor, but when i do something honorable everyone, almost, seems to conveneintly forget the event because they have already formed
an opinion of me and are hard put to change that veiw. That is the same with you Drake, you may be part of the Staff, but you are human, and will act in a human way.

Aspen realizes he is rambling and tacks up the post and walks away. He mutters to himself about stupidity and unseen honor.

Why should anyone try to "see through your exterior"? When one presents himself as a disrespectful idiot, then that is how one is going to be perceived. You don't like it, tough. Until you show yourself to be someone -I- feel is a "nice enough fellow" I'm going to continue to consider you an idiotic moron who doesn't deserve to step in the same ring with any of the Barons. Oh, and Drake'll be correcting you on the "Human" part, soon enough.

Rip him a new one, Sim.

No one should present themself as an idiot within their exterior self for the very reason that no one will be willing to look past it. I for one am lacking that advantage and am glad I don't see past you. Frankly, you're a cretinous imbecile with the IQ of a dead, rat. I've defined you as an idiot inside and out. I don't think anyone has ever managed that from me. Ever.

You must be lucky.

"Frankly, you're a cretinous imbecile with the IQ of a dead, rat."

Not all dead rats have extremely low IQs. Take G for instance, do you consider his IQ low?

... bad example. Still, I'm sure you know what I mean.

That's right, Drey. You shouldn't be insulting dead rats.

I might take offense at that, but it's much more fun watching you guys trash this other dude.

Aspen~

Perhaps I should point something out to you. Since you believe that we'll like you once we've seen "beyond the exterior", that makes me, and probably other people, think that the exterior is just a game you're playing. If you want us to see you for what's inside, perhaps you should bring that inside out. If what's inside is your true self, then stop playing the jerk and start *being* yourself.

Just a little food for thought,
~Sidartha

Tacks up a note to the cork.

Reward: 1000 Gold Sovereigns for various portions of Aspen's interior, preferably the
portions that permit him to walk, talk, breath and permit his blood to circulate.
1 half copper for his brain.
No reward for his exterior.

Thats the way I've learned to act that way because of my enviroment, and the people I have delt with since childhood. I'm afraid to expose my true self. I am very paranoid, I'm afraid someone will learn something about myself and use it against me. So I keep closed off and when you become my friend I trust you and will elt you see the true me, but until you become my friend and earn my trust I will
still treat you the way I act.(( Seriously this is the way I am IRL))

Good, you've identified the cause. That's a big step. Now you can change it.

Aspen.

Something you may have missed here.
I don't care if you only act like an idiot. I don't care if you're only pretending to be an honorless, disrespectful jerk.
Until you act otherwise, I will never treat you otherwise.
I will continue to look down upon you and your pathetic attempts at currying my favor, because I refuse to befriend someone who moons the officials and otherwise displays such disgusting behavior.
You say you've done things that are honorable, but others have conveniently forgotten them. I say, prove it.
You say honor is relative... but the absence of honor is not. The absence of honor is obvious, and readily apparent in your day to day behavior.

Finally, as for what G'nort said... I'm only half-human. My ever belief is colored by the Draconic nature. To a Dragon, everything is empherial and subject to change. To a Dragon, the only thing that lasts is the Dragon herself. I'm given to understand it's the same for elves. Humans are creatures of change... of constant variety. I am perfectly willing to believe you can change... I am also perfectly willing to believe you won't, because
humans in general, are too lazy to change... even for the better.

I've only seen Aspen in person ahandful of times, the first being during the last warlords tourney when he shouted fould curses at his luck of the draw.

The second time he was being a disruption to the crowd in the dueling arena.

The third time he was simply a moron.

Well, he apologized after all of these....so I guess he's ok....

For a snapper head.
