[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.

Oh. [ eeeew ] Well in that case, I would hit them.

But that might make it worse.

[ so basically malia is zero help ]

Fairy rings are how people get around here. They're magic. [ that doesn't explain anything does it ] You step inside the ring and it sends you to another ring. They're the green things on your map. Makes traveling easier. But the imps suck, so you need to feed them so they don't mess up your ride and send you to the wrong ring somehow.

[It doesn't and it does. Porthos isn't concerned about how magic works right now so much as its effect. Blanket term is as good as anything.

(Also he's just going to. Take a minute to take out his map and look.)] So I can go from this ring, to this ring - [He can see how that would be handy. There's a gruff sounding groan:] Well, that settles it then. I'm calling a cease fire.

[wilee]

How do you plan on doing that?

[ she doesn't sound tooooo skeptical, but, she's genuinely interested ok. the imps really do suck. ]

So far the suggestions are feed them - like you said - something strong to drink, and shiny things. I'm going to try a little of all three and anything else anyone might suggest and hope one sticks.

[He may as well cover all his bases (and Aramis', too.)]
