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.

[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]

[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!

[afineknight]

Exactly! And no one will suspect a thing because party games are also a rite of ours.

Re: QUEST INFO

[rugpull]

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

[electricflock]

Is good deal to have his quest be a rite. Is already something we do normally!

Re: QUEST INFO

[afineknight]

He appealed to Red's ego. The little bastard tried playing it off, but you could tell he was quite taken.

[afineknight]

So we can fix our barn in the process, or whatever still needs fixing or winter-proofing. Win-win-win.

[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.

[electricflock]

Fixes and heating!

[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.

[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.

Re: QUEST INFO

[rugpull]

That type huh....well 'll leave the sweet shit to Cin.

[afineknight]

Ugh. But you know what you are talking about, so we'll do that.

Re: QUEST INFO

[afineknight]

That is fine by me.

[afineknight]

Both good things for us to have right about now.

[thefinalcontract]

It isn't ideal, I know... But it will prove fruitful in the future. Next time I'll strive to get us much better terms.

Re: QUEST INFO

[rugpull]

But the important part is soon! We get our Coco!!!

[electricflock]

[chirps appreciatively]

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

Re: QUEST INFO

[afineknight]

He seemed concerned about her getting taken into the mist, but I take what he says with a grain of salt. Especially since the Rations Demon didn't think it would be an issue.
