"then what's with the magic?" maxwell asks, obviously not buying until he gets a full explanation despite how nice the girl is or how nice the deal sounds

[thewizardguy]

The girl gives the sweetest smile. "Where do you think the food comes from?" The girl is soaked now, her hair dripping with water. The water pooling at her bare feet is slightly greenish in color, and the smell of whet dirt strengthens as it drips, having become almost overwhelming. The magic seems to have reached it's peak, and it's an odd magic, far different from that used by most beings, making it impossible to gauge it's strength. It seems to partially exist only in your mind, and yet it also seems quite strongly attached to the coin.

[Tyki]

"then i would gather that using such a magic as this would require a side effect from the bargainer... what would that be?" maxwell asks, linking with her through the magic's mental state and preparing to gather the information if she refuses to answer, while remaining undetected through his intense... "training"

[thewizardguy]

As you attempt to connect to her mind, you find it to be completely inaccessible. While she quite clearly has a soul, her mind is completely different from any sentient being you have ever encountered, alien to human reasoning. However, as you do this, suddenly, it's as if something shifts, and she herself starts pouring into your mind. Fear bounces off of her harmlessly, as if the very emotion were alien to her, useless against this strange creature. A being beyond fear, incapable of feeling it, passing through your defenses as if they were water, as you can feel her icy cold hands on your face. "Beware what you seek, or it shall be granted to you."

[Tyki]

she finds her advances being forced into circles, not really defending so much as keeping everything important out of her reach while letting her have the random things to let her feel like she's winning as her advances leave her mind entirely open. "if i didn't wish to know then i wouldn't be asking... you know, girl, you remind me of my assistant charlie, she was one for mind games as well, but i digress, now tell me what you're holding back. i wish to know why you want this damn coin so badly" maxwell says evenly, not even slightly frightened and in fact her leans in to her, to speak face to face with her, his mind out of her reach while her's would be easibly overtaking and cracked open like an egg thrown full force at the ground. yet maxwell allows her to answer, seeing through her bubbly charade and enjoying the challenge of facing something deemed "foreign" as he was highly bored of the same things, over and over. ((you keep saying she's reacting to me but i'm using maxwell not my me char. also, maxwell's no stranger to minds that are deemed "not understandable" so even with that monicure she's still open to him mentally))

[thewizardguy]

The girl simply smiles. "Stubborn." her mind leaves, before she simply blinks. Somehow, that simple act carries a massive weight, and you can feel the magic collapse. The coin is still in your hand, but the menu is gone, and the girl is smiling at you. "Come back any time!" With that, she simply walks back into the building.

When she returns to the building, she finds riki, sitting at a table. He is wearing his ring master outfit, his purple color scheme making him stand out quite a bit.
"Well hello miss." He says, bowing a little in his seat.

[Tyki]

maxwell smiles in return, liking the girl and wishing to talk to her some more, but he'd obviously over stayed his welcome and didn't wish to intrude any longer so as to avoid angering her, leaving a note to request her presence three steps from her porch at 7:06 AM. tommorow, explaining that he'd have his assitant fill in for her before leaving and disappearing through a cloud of black smoke as a choked scream of absolute terror rings out three steps off the porch of the cafe patio

[thewizardguy]

"Another customer!" Lily smiles, as she places down the menu. As before, the menu would change, singling out whatever Riki wished for in a matter of food. At one time, however, a rather disturbing option appears on the menu. It's labeled simply 'death'. The girl is simply back to cleaning and moving around plates, seemingly without purpose, as she moves the same plates back only moments later.

When riki sees this, he chuckles. His thoughts drifted to a large steak from a creature named a deathclaw, with a large bottle of Royal Crown Cola and a side of home fries.

The menu continues cycling, until, eventually, all it states, on the small piece of paper, in large letters, is a single word. Life. And yet, the meaning can be felt. "I see you've made your order. The fee is a single quarter." Lily smiles down at Riki, her hair no longer wet as before, as dainty and cheerful as when Maxwell had first arrived. However, once more, magic can be felt building in the air.

Riki's nostrils flair, as he reaches into his pocket, and feels around.
"One sec..." He says, before pulling out two quarters. "Keep the second one...my treat." He says, before putting the coin into her hand. When he touches her, he tries as maxwell did, to enter her mind. However, he seems to do it in a less evasive manner, seeming more to wish to see how she functioned rather than to attempt to create fear.

As you do, you find a mind alien to normal humans. As you're not trying to break it, you find it to be incredibly old. Whatever this being is, it's nothing like human, and it's been around for a long while. However, more importantly, the moment she takes the quarters, they disappear. "Thank you." For a moment, Riki feels as if he's drowning, before he suddenly feels himself isolated from the country in his mind. He feels it all slip away, as his loneliness encompasses. hate, fear and anger, pain and sadness, all that he had never felt, multiplied a hundred times over by the drugs he had consumed, all the suffering he had ignored. True life, and all of it's horrors, a first brush with true suffering, as his family is ripped away from him, and he is left completely alone. "Come back anytime." Lily turns, as she walks back to her bar. He had wished for life, and life had been granted. What he wanted, however, was not always what he needed.

Riki looks at himself, and he simply frowned. He started to walk away, before falling down, near the front door, He simply laid there for a while, neither moving, or breathing. It looked like he had died. After a few minutes, he awakens, and leaves the bar....and after a few minutes all the color of the area leaves, giving it a manga sorta look.

Mithias dangles, suspended in free fall in the darkness. It seemed one thing was for certain in the path of his existence: that he would have control over none of it.

(very descriptive)At first, the anticipation of finding lethal ground was terrifying, but then, as time became meaningless and reality blurred into a new-or-non existence, Mithias was able to calm himself. ...that is, as much as he could still identify himself. His first thought was that he had died again, for real this time, perhaps, and that he was in eternity with the ultimate god... who also seemed to be angry. Maybe that was a shallow interpretation. Hanging there, or falling there, limply, Mithias listened and waited, trying to glean more about the all-encompassing entity before him that was everything. What was the point of even speaking?

The being stuck its hand out, and the darkness swirled around, bending to his will."You are far out of your league. I used to be like you...a creature that hunted..killed....I WAS power..fear...at one point. But now, I am going to find every last thing like me and you...and stamp it out." He says.

-- You, seem to underestimate me, for I went to R'lyeh and defeated Cthulhu, you are nothing compared to the Old One--

((I HAD replied. Don't know what happened to that. Oh well.))
Time is meaningless, and in such a place, one cannot speak of action. One cannot 'do' something when time is irrelevant. However, instead, there was a manifestation of possibility, the potential of existence manifested in existence through time, every chance occurence scrolled through until an appropriate point is selected. The timeline itself shifts, reality warping to accommodate your presence in this version of reality. However, you get an odd sense. Of all those who would be affected by this change, you had been singled out to witness it with your own eyes. Despite the impossibility, you get a sense that the being without time leaves, with none the wiser besides yourself. In this timeless experience, a billion things and yet none might have happened, impossible for a human mind to comprehend, and yet, when time starts moving once more, you're very conscious of an odd weight in one of your pockets. Then your foot lands. The entire, seemingly eternal fall had been a single step, less time than it would take any other being to blink.
