[pathologise]

how much do you charge for magic things?

[breadmuffs]

It depends on the difficulty of the spell, and the components.
What kind of effect did you want?

[pathologise]

i want to have a box that only i can open
is that possible?

[breadmuffs]

Easily, though with one small caveat. The spell I know to accomplish this can be temporarily suppressed by one other spell. At least, it functions that way in my world.
However, to my knowledge I am the only person in Duplicity presently who could know that spell.

The spell itself isn't complicated but it does require a component that is consumed. I'll charge for those with a very small fee on top.

[He quotes a reasonable price - less than a hundred of...whatever currency Duplicity uses. It's definitely less than supplies+labor but no one needs to know that.]

[pathologise]

thank you.
are the components easy to find?

[breadmuffs]

Very. At least here. At home it was often a bit more difficult.

[Gold dust is very readily available at most jewelry stores here, and there are so many in the city.]

[pathologise]

i'll let you know when i've bought the box

[breadmuffs]

Very well.
I look forward to hearing from you.

[themisfit]

So what's your favorite position? And how much do you favor your designation?

[breadmuffs]

Hello.
That's a bit forward, especially for a stranger.

But my designation is just fine.

[It's not like he's going to say anything different to someone he doesn't know.]

[themisfit]

Is that right?
The vagueness is understandable, and I'm honestly not one to push as much as I like mischief.

This sort of thing isn't very unusual.

[breadmuffs]

You mean strangers messaging you out of the blue?

[themisfit]

Well, it does most typically wind up being people I know, but perhaps that's just based on our small population. Not unheard of for it to be a stranger, certainly.

I'm Kurt.

[breadmuffs]

Ah. You're right, not quite a stranger.

This is Caleb Widogast.

[themisfit]

Oh, yes. Of course!

Have you settled well enough?

[breadmuffs]

I think so.

I have a job and a contract partner. Which is the bare minimum for settling in, I think.
How have you been?

[themisfit]

I am well enough, outside of relatively mild spots of trouble.
You must take what you can get, hm? True comfort and steadiness is a tall order here.

(from here)

The one who thought he'd fight about it, I presume.

[The blond is probably Chris Sonom, he suspects. No real idea who the scrawny one is...but he does know that Hawke had been talking about confronting Lucien.]

It's pointless, you know. Trying to get back to Cognuza.

[truthisvicious]

Hawke, then.

[It doesn't particularly matter, he was just curious.]

Thank you for your input, I'll take it under consideration.

[breadmuffs]

I mean it, Lucien. You will not succeed.
And that is fact, not opinion.

[truthisvicious]

And you're an expert are you?

[breadmuffs]

Yes.

[Caleb pauses, reads back what they've already said, and realizes he needs to clarify:]

I don't mean escaping here, though it seems as if that may also be nearly impossible.
I mean your aims in Cognuza. They won't come to fruition.

[truthisvicious]

Taken up divination in our time apart?

[breadmuffs]

Not quite.
But I've lived things that you haven't yet, I believe.

[truthisvicious]

If you're going to give me a revelation then do it. Or don't.
Being coy is well and good but I doubt this teasing is going to lead anywhere.
