    You don't even know what you feel. As fun as it is to sit here with you and play make believe, I have work to do. She turns around and starts walking towards the door.

    Ashley's main emotion changes from sad to angry. She'd been duped. Again. She sits down once more. After a few seconds, she suddenly pulls her dagger from her belt and stabs it into the table she's sitting at. Moments later, she starts to cry, hand still on the knife's hilt.

    Molodai meanders into the tavern, looking around a little skittishly for the fey who called himself Nero. She needs more of the powder, and she doesn't know where else to get it.

    "Any deal. The first limit is that I cannot affect anyone outside of the deal. That is, I can only affect you. The second is that I can do nothing that uses too much power. That is, I cannot make you a god. However, if you want information, I can probably get it to you. However, if you instead want something more straight forward, I can just do it."

    She sips her drink.

    "You used to be a man. I can change you back."

    "However, know that for every blessing I give you, I must also give you an equal curse. To fix your gender would be a simple matter, a one-time blessing. A one-time curse. Perhaps a ravening hunger. Perhaps you will owe me a favor. If you wanted a more permanent blessing, like the power to fly, I would need to effect you with an equal, long-term curse. Perhaps when you fly, you are mute? Or immobile for a time after you land?"

    "1:1. Blessing and curse."

    "Ummm... okay..." Reinholdt says. Maybe he'd have the gender issue fixed if what's his name didn't uphold his end of the bargain.

    Nero is sitting at the bar, drinking heavily and looking incredibly angry. Not that anger isn't his default emotion, but right now he's not even hiding it, giving Cosmo a scowl that could kill lesser creatures as he chugs down cheap wine.

    "I'm Reinholdt. I used to be an anarchist and adventurer slash thief back when it was fun and affable. I don't think it'd be so much here." Too many grumpy people. And he's fairly pragmatic. Plus a few other reasons.

    Molodai creeps up with her usual lack of noise, as though stalking prey. She taps him on the shoulder, a smile splitting her face.

    "Hello Nero!"

    And she's... not naked anymore! Aw. Just a thin, loose robe she borrowed from John.

    She leans back and sips her drink thoughtfully. That's all that seems to happen. A few people receive messages to check their sources for hints of certain job openings... but most of what happens is that a invisible, intangible, and almost unnoticeable awareness sweeps through the city, looking for any evidence of job openings.

    Awful small use for all that power.

    "The most common thing is that you must share an equal worth of information with me. Alternatively, you can simply owe me a favor."

    She straightens up, and points her finger at Reinholdt, demanding her attention.

    "A favor is not a thing to be brushed aside. I might call on you to find me some information... or to defend me, if you have great combat abilities. Such a favor cannot be denied without repercussions. You can deny a favor, but it will, as they say, come back to bite you. However, know that if I do call on you to defend me, all the wounds will be healed when you have done your part. I do not kill."


    She leans back again.

    "And yes, I can still claim a favor of you if you die. My power does allow me to reach into the next life."

    Favors are serious business.

    "Hey, what the hell are- Nero starts to snap, turning around to face his unseen assailant, but the words die as he sees it's the fey girl from before, and he takes a deep breath. "Oh. It's you. Sorry. Hello." He says, doing his best, which isn't exactly easy. The tooth fairy is not exactly in a good way. His skin is deathly, sickly pale, his eyes have turned tar black, and he seems to be sweating an awful lot. The reason, of course, is that he finally went and overdosed, and is now close to crashing, possibly fatally. "Want a drink?"

    "Heck no I'm not okay. Spent ******* weeks settin up a kidnap, then a bunch of brain dead spazzes who call themselves "mercs" preceeded to ******* flat out total the job. Then they blamed me for nearly killin a few idiots while saving their worthless hides." Nero says bitterly, apparently oblivious to the fact she was enquiring about his present state. If he's even aware of how badly drugged he is. He can see the nightmarish things lurking around the edges of his sight, hallucinations brought on by the magical dust, subconsciously registered the way the light is starting to dim and the shadows encroach upon his vision, he may well even be aware of how bad his hand is twitching, to the point where he's barely in control, yet he either hasn't made the connection, or doesn't care.

    Aether sits, in street clothes. He has a pair of black converse shoes, some thrift store jeans, a beat up t-shirt and an un-zipped hoodie. He has a lump in the back of his sweatshirt, near his waist. At the moment, hes downing a beer he just ordered, as well as a cigarette he grips in his mechanical left hand. His scarred face looks about the bar, his deep-set eyes searching for something - but even he's not sure of what.

    "Ummm... I think basic job description is not the same thing as where and how I can get the job. I mean, it might be in a few obscure cases like, President of Townsville or something and I understand secrecy in such cases, but something like bartender could very well be anywhere and not really telling me anything." He'd kind of like to know if he even wants the job before trading away stuff!

    "It is a list of 28 different possible jobs, with a high amount of variation. I literally can not tell you more until you agree to an exchange!"

    She seems... greatly annoyed by this limitation. Almost pained.

    "Oh. Well if it's that many, that's fine. So what is it that I'm trading? Did we decide between information or a favor or is it one of those things we can leave open for later?" Fez Hat Reinholdt doesn't mind either way.
