[ with a little sleight of hand for flourish, he produces one of the sunflower lanterns. the make of it is every steampunk oil lantern you've ever seen in your life. ]

Ta-da. Presenting... shelf-stable, refined, protection, whilst within the depths of darkness, nightmares, and dreams.

[pins his ears backwards and adjusts his glasses/shades. That's heckin concentrated sunlight???]

That. . .is a sunflower. How did it take such a form?

[finalbows]

Aht-aht-aht! That, is a secret reserved for my, officialized allies. But I can tell you, anyone can do it if I but teach them how and where.

[wooliefrand]

[ear flick,]

And what exactly are you asking for?

1/2

[finalbows]

Information to make that "impossible suicide mission" I'm going to will into reality an eensy bit easier.

Tactical information, specifically. One-- while you say your people win by brute force, I'm betting you have someone who's been in the thick of combat with the Nightmares with specific observations that could be useful to us. Everything with identifiable traits also comes with weaknesses.

Two, it's not just fighting that would be useful to us. What we're trying to do - to undo - will require playing on... sentiment, to get anywhere. It will be difficult to navigate if we don't understand much about the terrain.

You, specifically, could help save the world by telling us emotional, personal trivia about your life and experiences with your father! That's not an opportunity that comes knocking every day, now is it?

3/3

[finalbows]

And... lastly, I would request one singular mask, to make the nights a little easier on my specific, incurable case.

That's all!

[wooliefrand]

[STARES AT HIM.............]

That's three demands for one exchange, you realize. [he pushes up his glasses again]

Though, that explains your scent. It was familiar but still distinctly yours.

You're afflicted with a variation of the curse.

As for those particularly adept at handling nightmares, well. You all killed them. Both.

[AYO AND BEA!!!!]

. . .And I don't quite understand how my personal business could possibly aid you.

[finalbows]

Your personal business can aid me because it's YOUR very own patriarch that went and turned into an apocalyptic event. These things happen, dearie, my own sibling drama became a matter of the fate of the universe, once.

Anyway...

I venture we could fish out a pair of departed souls and plop them in some new bodies to even the math. But I'd have to ask my spiritual consultant about it.

[wooliefrand]

[threads his hands together, shaking his head]

If it were that simple, we'd have revived several of those driven to madness by the Wolf King. The masks they wore kept their souls in tact.

Now, they are lost to the abyss, among countless others.

. . .

And don't call me dearie.

[finalbows]

[ angie_doing_math ]

So if someone happens to yank it off before they kill you, you're out of luck?

[wooliefrand]

Basically, for those who are cursed.

In your situation, I don't know how it would react.

[finalbows]

Haven't had the privilege to test THAT out just yet. Not in much a hurry to! That's why I'd love to be closing this deal with you.

So it's a wash for the tactical advice, oh well, too bad so sad. That leaves us with a revolutionary technological innovation dangling tantalizingly in reach... for both of us.

[wooliefrand]

. . .

[he closes his eyes, and then opens a drawer on his desk, revealing a fully constructed holy mask.]

This one, I keep on my person usually, in case I were to succumb. But at this point, if it happens, I suppose it's deserved.

That said. While you aren't a "true" wolf. Perhaps those adjacent of your kind will have an upperhand against the nightmares.
