[ How about that rainstorm, Asgard? Guess who was walking to work this morning and got caught in it? ]


Reward offered for one brave and ingenious soul who can brave
this tempest to bring me a towel and a change of clothing.
Serious inquiries only, please.

[Oh, poor you, Mycroft. If Moran only knew this was you. He'd be rolling his eyes even more intensely.]

You'll need to give a better incentive than that, chum.

[ He is wet and cold, Sebastian. The ice magic has done nothing to make him immune to this. Just imagine a very large, fluffy cat after it's been tossed into a pool. Miserable. He knows this is more than a bit ridiculous, hence the anonymity. ]


Such as?

[Oh, please, Mycroft. You don't have it so bad.]

Such as specifying what sort of reward is waiting on the other end of this deal. You're unlikely to get your change of clothes if all you're offering is two coins to run together.

[ Bet you're all nice and dry somewhere, you layabout. ]


It was purposely ambiguous for any
interested to name their figure.

anon text;

[sebasher]

[Exactly.]

And if my figure is too rich for your liking and no-one else comes forward with an offer?

[willbemother]

I doubt that will be the case.

[sebasher]

Why is that?

[gentle]

[hmm...it looks hideous out there, but a little rain is nothing to reshiram (she's just a bit tiffed, but that's to be expected), so unfortunately, N considers this with the utmost seriousness.]

what is this reward of which you speak?

[willbemother]

What do you value?

[gentle]

friendship
conviction in one's ideals
sweet things
nothing unusual i imagine.

[willbemother]

If I were to offer to treat you to
whatever confectionary desire
you wish for a week?

[Oh, he knows who this predicament belongs to.

He knows.

So he's just butting into your conversation here, brother dear.]

I advise against this.
Rather like an alcoholic offering to pay a bar tab for someone.
I don't think his scale can take the abuse.

Unlike some, I'm aware of the value of self-restraint.


[ Hissssss. ]

[gentle]

really?
that sounds wonderful to me.
my friend and i would be happy to help you in exchange for that.
i'll just need your location and favorite animal.

[willbemother]

What relevance would my favorite animal serve as?

[gentle]

it wouldn't do to give someone who liked cats
a shirt with a dog on it
now would it?

[willbemother]

Where are you getting these clothes?

[gentle]

my friend reshiram brings them to me sometimes.
isn't that nice of her?

[my dragon steals stuff for me, isn't that nice????]

[rakia]

Some would do it for free. It's only a little bit of rain, isn't it?

[willbemother]

I'm afraid I was caught when it was a lot of rain.
Just because people would do it for free doesn't
mean one should expect them to do so.

[rakia]

That is true, yes. Would you rather be helped by someone who wanted your reward or by someone who did not need one?

[willbemother]

I would rather be helped by whichever brings me results
the swiftest.

[rakia]

Perhaps the one who did not need to negotiate his reward. Where are you located?

[willbemother]

One question, if you will.
How do you know the clothes
you bring will fit me and what
exactly do you plan to bring
me?

[rakia]

My next question was to be your size. And I will bring what I can find, of course. Is there something I should be looking for?

[lookingfordragon]

I don't think its possible to get dry clothes to you at the moment.
They would end up wet before they got there.

[willbemother]

It is improbable, but not impossible.
This is why I requested ingenuity.

[video]

[clockeyes]

Ooh, ooh, sir, I can do that! Getting caught in the rain is really not good at all.

Erm, what size are your clothes, though?

Anon text; Private

[willbemother]

What would you ask in return?

[video]

[clockeyes]

Ask in return...?

Oh, sir or madam, I mean, I know there is a reward and all, but honestly, I'm just glad to help! I don't need anything.

Unless you want to give me something?

Anon text; Private

[willbemother]

How will you come across clothing of my size
and how will you assure that it is dry?
If you make any expenditure on my behalf, I
am inclined to reimburse you at the very least.
A sir.

[video]

[clockeyes]

Well, you tell me your size! And I'll put it one of those nice little plastic bags they give at the stores, put that inside another bag, and then, with an umbrella, make it to where you are!

Oh! Oh, well then. Hmmmm. Maybe just an invention you find useful? I mean, I'm still getting quite familiar with human invention- they're all quite brilliant, in my opinion!
