QUEST INFO

[afineknight]

[ when Crois returns from Red's with Cinna, he makes a point of gathering everyone up so he doesn't have to repeat himself later on. ]

¡Amigos! I am pleased to inform you that our master negotiator Cinna here managed to keep Red's task from being too heinous. It is quite doable and I think we can get a few rites out of it in the process.

We are to throw a party to "get the word out" about Red as well as people like Miss Daisy to the pasture at large. It is a party celebrating them, in essence. However, in the process, we need to get "information" from at least three people — secrets, fears, something. It cannot be another member of Daffodil or Tyr and we cannot tell them that is what we are doing.

So! My suggestion is we come up with a party game that involves secrets and give the three least offensive ones to Red.

[electricflock]

[chirrups!]

That's easy! Are lots of party games that are about secrets, like 'Never Have I Ever' or 'Truth or Dare'.

[afineknight]

[ He snaps his fingers, pointing. ]

'Never Have I Ever.' Perfect. We can guide the questions and make sure it's nothing too personal. Red just said "secrets or fears." He didn't specify how secret they had to be.

[electricflock]

Will be fun and easy, but still secrets! Nobody wins a drinking game by sharing what everyone already knows.

[rugpull]

The word out that he's stanky and rude?

I'll run the Miss Daisy appreciation part.

For the feels just like let people talk at Tart and Cin they'll be taken in by their handsome faces.

Re: QUEST INFO

[afineknight]

Biscuit, my friend, you should have seen Cinna dealing with Red. It was a masterclass!

Re: QUEST INFO

[rugpull]

S'hard to not fall for Cin's velvet words.

[thefinalcontract]

[He bows his head as Crois talks about all of this. He really doesn't have too much to add but...]

I'm not particularly keen on the secrets part. In the future I'll try and negotiate for less of that. I didn't want to lose the idea for a party entirely and it wasn't terribly egregious in the end. I also figure if everyone knew what we were doing it for and it was all to free Miss Coco they'd offer something willingly, regardless.

I'm glad to have been able to assist in this matter all the same.

[Negotiating a contract felt... right.]

[afineknight]

No, no, the secrets part is perfect because Red didn't clarify what type of secrets they were and you made certain that language was, ehhh, sealed in the contract in a manner of speaking.

Someone could tell us they like sweets and that could be a secret.

[thefinalcontract]

Quite true. However... We should at least offer one "good" secret that he would enjoy as a sign of good faith. Something more inline with what we all know he's asking for.

He may be much more careful and strict with the terms next time. And I'd prefer his continued carelessness in the future in regards to what he's asking for. While it is on him to have clear and concise wants within the fine print I think we're better off if he never learns the exactness of deal making.

As always it is best to keep the other party happy for prosperous and continuous trade.

[apothekitty]

Do I count? I can give some information if it's necessary.

[afineknight]

Unfortunately, you do not because you now know about it. But I would appreciate it if you'd participate in the "Never Have I Ever" game in order to encourage others to participate.

[apothekitty]

"Never Have I Ever"... how does that work?

[ can she cheat and mention her poison ]

Re: QUEST INFO

[secondbornsun]

We'll need another party for a star anyway. Sounds fine.

[ *he has no ideas for party games ]

[afineknight]

Muffin had a few good ideas for games, so we should be able to knock this out anyway. And I don't know how much we were able to repair here after the pipes burst, so — that can help with whatever we may need.

Cinna was brilliant.

[secondbornsun]

Ya took him for negotiations, did ya?

[electricflock]

[we got fresh cornmeal so muffin is making a kind of sweet grits for an evening snack. it's warm, it's got honey and fruit, it's CORN, and it's an excuse to hover near a hot stove for a little while]

[thefinalcontract]

[He's also going to linger by Muffin and the warm stove. Because lizard likes warmth too. He offers Muffin some tea once it seems like he has a moment to partake.]

What is it that you're making this evening? It smells quite sweet.

[electricflock]

[chirps appreciatively]

Grits! Want some? Is corn and sweet things, good for warming up.

[thefinalcontract]

I suspect I am unfamiliar with such a dish but yes, I would love to sample it.

[rugpull]

[on the cat tree, purring and chewing idly at a gatordawg bone, watching Muffin work

whenever he steps close though Biscuit will reach out to pat his head and fluff his hair]

[electricflock]

[bounces on his toes, prrf prrt prrft]

I made a snack, Biscuit. Do you want some?

[apothekitty]

[ stray cat is in the sun room, with several baskets of herbs, which she is peacefully working on tying into bundles and making note of in her journal. she is more than happy to just be a presence in a warmer place than her workshop. ]

[electricflock]

[chirps!]

What doing?

[apothekitty]

I'm getting these ready for drying. We still don't know if people can catch a simple illness here, on top of the nonsense that happens in rituals. I'd like to be prepared.
