[It's Porthos' first time speaking on the network and the picture of him in the locket has a face like a thunderstorm. He is so done with this place and you're about to find out why - ]

It seems in our tumultuous emotional state having first been brought here, my friend and I have managed to insult the imps.

[Or rather Aramis shot one, ran into Porthos, and there was a fight that wasn't fatal but a tad more vicious than a Musketeer vs. imp fingersnap dance routine.]

As you can imagine, they've taken it upon themselves to remind us that we're not forgiven for our trespass. [He won't mention that swearing at them also didn't work, he knew it wouldn't, it just made him feel better.] And since we come from a world where magic doesn't exist, or if it does it's very scarce, I was wondering what could be done to appease them in some way.

[In other words please get the little buggers to stop leaving fish heads in his boots, tugging his beard until he wakes up in the night, etc.]

I will owe a reasonably proportioned debt to whoever can provide good advice.

No, not squeamish. [It just seems to go well with the surroundings.] I'll try both; one from each of us. And if you reside in the castle and it should cause any inconvenience, I can let you know when the ingredients are assembled.

[Fair's fair.]

[The Brucolac gives what would be a friendly pfft, save it rattles too hard in his throat and comes out very like a hoarse growl. Long-dead problems. Waving a hand:]

Appreciated, but if I'm awake and in that castle and I can't smell a trough of whiskey or what have you from any room in the damn place, there's something far worse wrong than delayed service from imps.

[A smile like a knife, quick and sly.]

Maybe some will be too cautious to drink.

[Quite easily translatable to, 'I went for the scared-shitless route, myself.']

[Porthos tilts his chin up slightly, a physical indication of ah, yes. The introduction of things other than human into his worldview occasionally went amiss, although he had the sense to let those moments be when he was in his room rather than walking around the castle.

He stays quiet on that particular fact. He's not about to make the mistake of offending anyone else any time soon and maybe it was a blessing in disguise that it was imps Aramis had first ran into.]

If they don't, I can think of ways to save it going to waste.
