[Tyr tries to look more businesslike than he has in years as he sits beside Rita.]

I don't know if you guys need me to set an appointment for this, but I- we just want to talk... All we want is some information. You don't need to do anything.

[--But then Rita cuts in quickly.]

You do need to talk. I don’t care if we have to pay for the information, we want you guys to cough up something.

[Tyr looks over at her awkwardly, but in the end he just nods...]

Right... We'll be waiting for your response.

I can cough up some phlegm. Will that satisfy you?

|| Deity Filter ||

[negativegate]

Yeeugh! Try something useful! Like how the City moves us between worlds.

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

Sister, everybody wants to know about that.

|| Deity Filter ||

[blackshadow]

[You two are disgusting.]

Do you know how?

|| Deity Filter ||

[negativegate]

[Hey hey don't lump her in with that, Tyr.]

Because we're the ones actually asking, here.

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

I'm getting double-teamed here. Unfair, unfair. Off-sides.

I might know how.

|| Deity Filter ||

[blackshadow]

You didn't need to talk to us alone... I invited any of you or all of you to talk to us.

|| Deity Filter ||

[negativegate]

Besides, more importantly, we might know where the deity office is, too. You want us to stop asking politely?

[Not that Rita's very polite to begin with...]

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

I know, I know. They might turn up, if they don't have anything better to do.

Everyone knows where our offices are. We make no secret of that.

|| Deity Filter ||

[blackshadow]

[He pinches Rita's back. Be quiiiiet.]

All right, all right. We're not getting anywhere like this... We won't bother any of you anymore if you just help us out here...

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

Why should I help you out here? I mean, really, why should I? Give me a reason. Make it good.

|| Deity Filter ||

[negativegate]

[And she jumps. Ruuuude, Tyr.]

Hey!

--You like trades, don't you? We'll trade--if your information's any good.

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

How much do you offer? Think well on this.

|| Deity Filter ||

[blackshadow]

[ Tyr is totally ignoring you now, Rita. ]

Tell us how much you want first.

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

I'd like to know why you're doing this and what you think it might accomplish. There's no reason to believe I'll even tell the truth at the end of all this. You could give up your senses and your lives and be left deaf, dumb, and mute, but secure in the knowledge that you know something. But even that something may not be true.

|| Deity Filter ||

[negativegate]

So you're saying you might just lie to play around with us? Typical.

[But if they really have to say why...]

We don't want to let the City make us go to our separate worlds at its whim. If we're going to go, we want to go together.

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

A mass exodus? How quaint.

|| Deity Filter ||

[blackshadow]

Stop joking around. We just want the choice to travel without losing everything we already know...

We won't tell anyone else if you tell us how to do it.

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

So, in other words, if you and she were wont to take a little jaunt to Risa (it's a planet; work with me here), you would like ways and means in which to do it, correct?

That aside, do you see any issue with your saying that you won't tell anyone? I mean, if you intend to travel hither and yon, as you please, rambling the routes in and out, will you be the only ones so permitted to ramble on? Unfair.

|| Deity Filter ||

[negativegate]

That's right.

But what do you care about whether or not it's unfair? Are you going to make a deal here or not?

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

No, no, you get ahead of yourself. The question is whether you are going to make a deal here or not. I'm the one with the information that you want (or so you suspect). What can you offer that might be worth so much to me?

|| Deity Filter ||

[blackshadow]

What do you want? Servitude? You can already hear and speak for yourself, and you have your own life force and memories...

And there's no reason to make a deal if you can't guarantee us anything. It's unfair to take something and not give us what we want in return.

|| Deity Filter ||

[laszlo_jamf]

It's a tough ol' world, isn't it?

|| Deity Filter ||

[negativegate]

Ugh, just name some kind of price, already! How are we supposed to offer something when we don't even know how good your so-called information is or what you want?

[ooc: They're both packing magic (Tyr's rune more deadly than the rest) and are very attached to each other, if that gives a bit of an idea. We're pretty open to other random stuff, too. \:3/

[laszlo_jamf]

I'm going to give you this one and I'm going to give it to you for free. The truth and honesty quotient inherent in it are not guaranteed, but it is, after all, free:

There are, perhaps, such things as one-way doors. Mayhap, there are "In" doors and there are "Out" doors. Perchance one cannot go "In" an "Out" door any more than one can go "Out" an "In" door.
