Jan 1st | Text | Locked to UNSEELIE | pls don't tell his princess.

[ The script is clear and practical. ]

As my boon a few months back I got a special product from back home I'd be happy to share with those of a more... recreational, mind-altering persuasion. Back where I come from we call it Glitterstim. It's clean-cut, good product. Activates easy, the transition is a smooth high, and can even give a mild telepathic boost.

Haven't run into a species it doesn't work on yet.

[ There is a line. ]

Serious interest only. If you don't know how these things go down, you aren't for this.

Bulk-purchase for resale options available.

[ And that ends it. ]

How much for how much.

[Clipped, business-like.]

Personal purchase or resale.

Resale. Could be regular if you're willing and it proves popular.

1 gold mark per 5 grams. If it sells to satisfaction I'll consider switching to a profit percentage.

How much does it take for a standard human to start feeling the effects?

About thirty to sixty secs for the high to start, the telepathic boost kicks in about another five minutes after. A gram-sized dose will last you one-point-five to two hours.

It's good stuff.

Sounds promising, but I need a sample before we come to any deals. Are you at Caer Scima?

Find someplace dark in the castle and name a time. I'll meet you there.

[ That gives Brucolac the upper-hand in negotations, but Han hasn't been here long enough to scope out spots. And he'll only be bringing a little product with him, anyways. Don't want to risk spoiling any more than has been already. ]

Dark. Very well. Come to my rooms at the ninth hour. Second Wing, third floor. There's a red pennant on the door.

[ Han comes, with two grams of glitterstim carefully folded up in the darkest, thickest paper he could find in this place. He's also brought along little Sketto, Maglor's ainsel friend who is quite happy to follow Han around and titter into his ear.

When he is finally at the door, he waits and looks around, before knocking twice on the door. ]

Dealing intoxicants is a dangerous business, my friend. Are you certain of this?

Not my first race, J'sairr.

[ a sigh ]

I have some debts to pay off, and the sooner I can get myself set up in that sort of business the sooner I can... shift to other things.

Not quite the merchant products you were expecting, I imagine, but since I'm not home any more, I better start somewhere.

Hmm...

[ Well, he can't exactly claim that the merchant caravans he once traveled with dealt entirely in honest goods either.

Which gives him an idea. ]

Would you accept a contribution to your stock, perhaps? Some time ago, this one requested a particular delicacy from Elsweyr as a boon, and the imps saw fit to include some...others as well. Delicacies of which J'sairr does not partake.

[ Han was expting to have to wheel and deal to get J'sairr to stay on. This? This is unexpected. But much much better.

Man, this place may suck as far as blasters go, but the Solo luck seems to be working just damn fine. ]

I'd be happy to help you... part with it, if you'd like, but I'll need to know more about it before I set it out on the market. [ Selling product that rots your toes off doesn't really sell well, or set you up for much of a reputation. ]

This one received some vials each of skooma and sleeping tree sap. In moderation, skooma is said to give one strength and quickness at a cost of clarity of mind... But in excess, it is known for the powerful addiction it creates. Even so, Khajiit should think there is hardly enough supply for excess to be a concern.

[ Still, he's seen enough shivering addicts crowding the streets of Rimmen to steer clear of the stuff himself. Anyway... ]

Sleeping tree sap, Khajiit has heard, is a powerful narcotic indeed. But this one knows little else, save that it is found in the land of Skyrim and nowhere else.

[ So more medicinal or performance enhancer than recreational high. Still, not bad stuff. ]

I'll see what I can do, J'sairr. Finding a one-stop shopper might be a bit tricky, though.

[ Some physician wouldn't mind the narcotics, and the rest could be split into smaller doses and sold snake-oil style, maybe. Thoughts to consider. ]

Thanks for the help.

But of course.

[ After a moment, though, a nagging thought occurs to him. ]

However... This one would kindly ask that you keep your sources between us. Khajiit have something of a, ah...reputation for peddling this manner of product in Tamriel; J'sairr has seen enough trouble because of it.

No problem.

[ Not that he thinks anyone around here would know about that sort of rep, but. Hey, it's nothing, especially for a friend. ]

No mention of you.

How is it ingested? Smoked or intravenously?

Inhaled. Glitterstim is a light powder; you snort it.

[She's never been one for snorting things.

Still--]

And do you think it could be laced within tobacco?

Potentially, though I doubt it. Burning the powder would probably affect the chemical composition. The effects would probably change slightly.

Someone should try, I think.

Meaning I would like to attempt it.

How much are you looking for.

Just enough for two hits, I think.

Five pieces of gold, if you have them. We'll arrange a meeting.

I don't recommend you trying this without supervision.

I can handle myself.

But yes, I have the money. I will meet you where you wish.

This is very, high-class, dangerous product, and you're about to fuck with it in ways that I have never heard of. You need someone supervising. I don't care if it's your best little fairy friend, but that's a non-negotiable. This isn't about handling yourself, it's about making sure you don't accidentally kill yourself, or fuck your mind over by screwing with a drug you've never tried.

Death? That's bad for my business.

If you're still interested, I'll give you a time and place.

[So she'll just lie.]

Fair enough. I'll enlist a friend.

[ cheerful chiming on this end, no sign of Maglor, it seems Sketto is playing with the lockets ]

Hello!

[ A curious tip of her head ]

What is it?

Hey, Sketto, darlin'

[ Have a Han sexy smirk ]

It's a surprise. I've been savin' a bit for you.

[ A bright chime and she claps her hands in delight ]

For me?

[ leaning forwards eagerly ]

Can I come now?

Yep! I set aside some, special for you. [ It's only a gram, which is stash aplenty for someone Sketto's size. ]

I don't see why not. Is Maglor around?

[ If nothing else, having Sketto try a small bit would be good to see if the effects still hold. ]

[ She nods then shakes her head and swivels the locket - Celegorm's loss shook him hard, and although he has been putting on a brave face, he tires, and right now Maglor is dozing beneath a tree (actual sleep, which still worries his family) ]

He's always tired [ She chimes sadly then brightens ]

Coming now!

[ Yay for rapid faerie travel? ]

[ Han's got a wide smile. ]

Hey sweetheart. [ He's set aside a fraction of a gram for you to try. ] Shine a little light on this and give it a sniff.

Edited 2015-01-03 00:10 (UTC)

[ When she darts into view she comes over to perch on his shoulder and stare at the glitterstim curiously ]

Is it sweet?

[ fluttering down to poke at it ]

How is it measured and what are you asking for?

Measured by the gram. And that would depend on what you want to do with it.

Use it, obviously.

I have an excess of gold.

[Assuming this little task he's on goes well, he'll actually have some recreational funds soon. Why not?]

What's it going to cost me?

Edited 2015-01-02 17:19 (UTC)

How much are you looking for?

One hit for one person, whatever amount you'd recommend for someone with an overeager immune system. If it's something I like, maybe we can do business again.

That'll all depend on how long you want that first high to last, if you'll think you'll process it faster.

You know your product better than I do. Take whatever you would recommend for your garden-variety human and double it. So long as it doesn't kill me, it'll be a deal.

[ Twice as much sounds about reasonable, though Han expects it might be a little more potent than this one is expecting.. ]

Five gold pieces is my price, for two grams.

Trust me, that's all you'll need.

You got someplace dark? You'll need it.

[It takes an awful lot to kill an Elf, so Lusiphur's pretty much counting on the fact that it's stronger than he expects. He has no concept of the exchange rate value for whatever this guy was selling, but considering how little gold he has on him, Lusiphur'll take his chance this once. If it's as good a promised, then they can work out a fair price for transactions in the future.]

I've got the gold, and I can definitely find someplace dark.
