Okay then, let's talk about this mission, and about what your plans are, it seems we pretty much know squat about the thing...

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Phhh... Okay, here you go... *I proceed to place the tesseract on the counter and @Source you can also see it now because i willed it so* If you can interact with my so called artifact, we'll talk some more about magic then! *I grin with false innocence*

Tesseract of Abstract Chaos again

@The Odeoron

Scoping missions are our bread and butter. We get in, stay low-key, investigate, and get out without ever being seen. No unnecessary combat, no conflict.

Why such fascination for magic, lady? What's so special about it? It is merely a means to an end...

@The Odeoron

She’s a magic spirit, don’t mind her.

*Chuckles as i pour one shot for me and i take the glass of ale you offered and first i drink the hemp whisky shot and then i gulp a mouthful of ale* Aaaaah! Nothin' like mixing beverages brother! *I look at you and at the annoyed girl* It's fine, i'll pay for myself and for this dude... do you accept gold or precious stones? I'm sorry i heard of your tavern coin, i have none of that... but i have valuables i can trade! *I seemingly grab out of nowhere two small rectangle bars of gold that resembles the Spartan bars of ancient Greece or any Romanic or Grecian like civilization*

100 grams mythic fine karat gold bars

@The Odeoron

*Holds up a hand*
It’s on me. A trade for intel.

Pal! You're my type, I'll drink any alcohol, in fact i'll drink both in fact. *I proceed to remove the cap of my whisky* Any glasses? Warning, my brand of whisky is particularly strong, as it has both effects of alcohol AND hemp high... you think you can handle it?

@The Odeoron

I'm... good. I just drink here.
*Lifts a hand and snaps twice, before a short girl walks past, glaring at me*
Okay sorry the usual please.
*Mutters*
Don't raise my rent...

*Reels back in surprised shock at the magic geek reaction that was totally unexpected* Uuuh... whoa whoa whoa *I grin and with a glint in my eyes i manifest my staple hemp whisky and pull it up almost like a rabbit out of the non-existent hat time theatrics* Care for a drink and tell me if you can hold it in? *I grin and sideye you Prism remembering your aversion with amusement*

@The Odeoron

You know, I'll trade you a drink for that. Let's grab one before we launch. You like mead?

Ugh... fiiine... but if this kills us here you know you're the one who is risking more than me here Prism! *I release my energy mask and a near solar explosion of power floods all your senses @Meta almost making you vomit especially when focusing on my tesseract which you can see*

@The Odeoron

*Seems to be staring at a point in the air and darting my eyes back and forth as if reading something that isn't there*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Source>

You're so meeeaaan.

@Meta

Uh huh.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*I just look at you Prism @Memory with a questioning eye as to ask for your input in this and whisper* Hey i know you don't remember the specifics, but you still have some instincts there... do we trust these two with their demands? or we skedaddle?

@The Odeoron

I'm going to be blunter than Lily. You have three options here. Either relax a little and build some trust in your potential party, join the party anyway with suspicions high on both sides until Lily eventually breaks through whatever you're hiding, or lose your cool and do the quest on your own.

*Your magic hits a hard wall suddenly, as you get stats of an average sorcerer with some hard battle scars hewn across his soul* Hmm?

@The Odeoron

You'd do best to be honest with us. Not that I blame you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Yup! Let's go then! *I give you Prism @Memory in particular a knowing look, that we don't really need currency since we can just create anything we need but for now... we need to play it low*

*I trun towards one of the doors and realise i have no idea how this works yet* Uuuum... so newb question here... how... do these doors work?

@The Odeoron

It's just a matter of getting the hang of it. But before we go, Lily, do your thing.
