[Ne's been watching all the commotion on the network with everyone showing off their items, listing prices and taking bids. Pathetic. Mammon would be beside himself with glee and that alone is enough to make nem nauseous at the display.]

Such greedy, gaudy things you are. Showing off the prized possessions of your hard work as if wealth were worth...well [ne laughs, too amused at it all] it's weight in gold. Beware becoming too attached, for all is easily taken in the blink of an eye.

Not set free but taken. Not owned or loved, but in service. There is a difference after all as you can not lose what you do not possess.

[worldofourown]

There's love to be had in service too. I certainly learnt that fast enough.

As to whether I possess that special something [ someone ] or not -- a matter of opinion. [ re: Karl doesn't care about Saya's. She'll be his, one way or another. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

One does love who's service One is in.

The answer to that is rather obvious Karl, don't be silly. [You don't.]

[worldofourown]

[ Sulkily, ]

You know, you can be dreadfully depressing for a jester.

[indecent_butterfly]

One is not being paid to entertain for the moment. Then again, One's services are rather high.

[worldofourown]

It seems everything in this City comes with a price.

Too high for a bored Chiropteran to hope to pay?

[indecent_butterfly]

Your soul is already not yours, what shall you pay with instead?

[worldofourown]

Whatever is left. Would that do?

[indecent_butterfly]

For a start.

[worldofourown]

You women and your ever-escalating demands. [ Yes, he considers you a woman. Don't ask. ] But at least it's heartening to know my figurative pockets aren't empty yet.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Hatter no care what you think of nem.]

What kind of devil would One be if adjustments were not allowed? This One is always worth the price and may even show you a new trick or two if you ask nicely.

[worldofourown]

[ That's what he likes about you, Bel. ]

How convenient then, that Diva taught me to ask ever so nicely.

[ Although with his victims, he never bothers to ask. He simply takes. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

Why don't we put that to the test? One's room at Oh Aces in...two minutes?

[worldofourown]

[ A smile. ]

Start counting.

[ He knows you'll cheat. But he's fast enough to get there even with skimped digits. ]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Not this time, ne's just giving him time to get there since it's an easy pop over for nem.]

See you there.
