PrP: Storming the Drains

[Circe]

Circe:
"You welcome Kray. Huh? Oh yeah," she nods as she gets what Sven means. She had the money for burner touch-screen phones mind you. "That does save budget, but Dark Web is where I do business. Can't just flip it Sven, oh ho ho ho."


Circe wasn't sure what he meant by the dry cleaners being an adventure. But if that was enough to give Kray a thrill, that was all good for him. Circe chuckles as Kray asks for food as a favor again. She'd seen him eat. Dude could win a hotdog contest, hands down, against any mundy.


And the boys were doing well making this go faster. Maybe many hands were better than Brownie Bullshit. Well, see how that goes. "Right you are fellas. Huh, wonder if I need to wait for the cement to dry before going through? Well wait," she talks as she works and has the chance to do so. Then makes sure to grab the water proofing before the wall is built up completely. "Yeah, that. We have to wait for it to dry before it can be water sealed. So, moot concern as I can't seal this side without it being dry. So, I'll be sitting on my ass over here for a bit, sorry for the future wait."


Inconvenient for all, yet at least Circe had gotten quick drying cement.

Sven could feel himself rapidly losing steam. Nevertheless, he forced himself to continue laying brickwork without further complaints. He merely nodded along as Circe worked out the logistics of sealing the wall from inside the tunnel. It reminded him faintly of an Edgard Allen Poe story, though he doubted that the macabre author had considered adding in a character phasing through solid matter. But then, who's to say that one of Poe's opium dreams didn't resemble a tale from the Hedge?

His brow furrowed when Kray spoke. That sounds like a proposal that could easily be turned into a Pledge. He doubted that the Ogre was somehow trying to force or trick him into such an arrangement. Nevertheless, the Whisperwisp gave a measured response. "That would depend entirely on how we are defining 'meal' and how long I'd have to pay you back, sir." He didn't know Kray well, but he knew that some Ogres had prodigious appetites. I'd rather not blindly agree to footing the bill for two family meals worth of food.

But then he smiled and shook his head. Perhaps he was being too suspicious? "Sorry, you know how we can be about precisely worded promises." Whether 'we' referred to Winters, the Lost as a whole, or something else he left ambiguous. "Sounds like a fair deal, generally."

[Kray]

He grunts as works and Circe speaks of phones. "Hm. Much harder to get a measure of someone online." Anyone could say or post anything and if the contracts exists to safeguard that he didn't know them. "No. I have to agree burners when you need to and for me face to face, it holds a lot more value." And a lot more opportunity to put the magic he does have to good use.

As the winter gets into definitions and extracting exact terms he feels his tongue start to itch the way it does when it wants to put his pledge crafting skills to use to warp words and twist terms, but no he knows pledges don't function like they do most places in this freehold even if he did decide to indulge that itch. So, he chuckles instead. "Ha. Smart then." Smart enough anyway. "Hm. If you want specifics." He ponders as he works. How do I want to play with this? "Ah. Define as a meal huh." Not many dared broach that topic with him. I wonder if he's curious. "Uh. If your worrying about it, I haven't eaten anyone since I got back. That's not what I'm asking for." Not that I know of anyway. "So. Three courses, you pick from where, before the turn of the year. Sound good?" And so he is being clear. "Now. I'm not going to bind you into anything it's not that kind of deal. You might have noticed even if you or I tried it wouldn't take between us." When it came to the given word between the lost of Sacramento honour and reputation had to serve as fall backs. "Ah. I don't take it personally. Anywhere else you would be very right to be careful with me." The terrible teeth of the gristlegrinder hold to the wide nasty smile. Not that being careful would help terribly much. But it's smart to be careful with any lost really. "But. If that's all acceptable I'll pay your dry cleaners bill form today's excursion Sven." Passing the ball back into the spindly winters court so to speak.

Continuing to work diligently he pushes forward with some gusto to make sure the work gets done. "Ah. Well a little wait is no bad thing Circe." Better to see the task through to the end then bounce right before and end up being needed. "Yeah. Some things need to be done the proper way and take the time they take." And that was just the way of it.
