[ The voice that snaps over the bracelet is sharp but bored. ]

Required: a number of test subjects for this ridiculous, useless power that I've been assigned. Willing subjects preferable, though this is not set in stone.

Compensation will be provided.

You are?

[ It's a good thing surprise can't be conveyed too accidentally in text. ]

I'll determine a location and message you later with details.

[secondborn]

Yes, provided that no one gets hurt in any way as a result.

[soulcontracts]

Why do people keep assuming I'm out to cause damage?

[secondborn]

Well the implication that you're willing to get test subjects who aren't cooperative was part of it.

But honestly it's mostly because I don't know anything about you, and I'd like to make sure there's a line before I go into anything almost blindly.

I had assumed that the population here, theoretically chosen for some reason to save this realm - be it by bravery, intelligence, or some other factor - would be sharp enough to realize that it was not a sincere implication. It is, I will admit, my mistake.

But I give you my word, for what it's worth, that I won't cause any harm.

[secondborn]

Everyone here has been abducted at least once, so perhaps it's something of a sensitive subject.

But thank you. It's appreciated.

[soulcontracts]

I'll speak with you soon.

[secondborn]

Very well.
