Waver Velvet | Text | Locked to Unseelie

[gordianknots]

Out of curiosity, has anyone else been looking into places to live outside of the court/as a second residence? The chaos of the past few weeks suggests that having a place to retreat in the aftermath may not be the worst idea out there.

I ask primarily to see if anyone else has begun the process and has advice on how to go about it.

[boutant]

Oh, absolutely.

[ She's hardly going to be getting a great deal of battleground spoils, and while she has 'command' of the team, she wants to pay them for their service. Commissions will help both herself and them. ]

Are you thinking of anything specific?

[gordianknots]

At the moment, nothing beyond "not conspicuous." Hardly a useful descriptor and it practically begs for an architectural survey of what's around here.

[Waver's always glad to pay people who know what they're doing, although it occurs to him that currency might end up being an issue. Mostly since it doesn't seem to be used here.]

[boutant]

I certainly wouldn't mind doing an architectural survey.

[gordianknots]

Well if you're okay with it, then I guess the question becomes funding. (As I'm loathe to make anyone work for free.)

[boutant]

I think you may have to figure that one out on your own.

[gordianknots]

Damn and here I was hoping for at least a few suggestions on the matte.

[boutant]

College student, remember? I'm very good at being poor.

[gordianknots]

Exactly why I don't want to not compensate you.

[boutant]

Maybe someone in court needs a tutor?

[gordianknots]

I suppose that's a fair trade.

[boutant]

If nothing else, it's a start, right?

[gordianknots]

It is, and adjustments could be made in the future.

[boutant]

Exactly.

Have you been able to find suitable replacements for your usual chemistry set?

[gordianknots]

I've gotten some glass containers that seems suitable, and managed to construct a few frames for holding things over contained fires, but getting to actual chemicals is now the fun part.

[boutant]

Keep me updated? I want to know how it works.

[ And if her team is going to end up building something for him, it would help to know what exactly he may need. ]

[gordianknots]

[Fireproof. Eveything. Probably.]

I definitely will. Honestly, asking for a large supply of chemicals that I don't need to distill might be a good use of those favours occasionally supplied.

[boutant]

[ Don't worry, that's first on her list for everything she builds after seeing what their fellows did to Caer Glaem. ]

I would think so. I've already run out of ideas for things to ask for.

[gordianknots]

Hm. Transportation to somewhere, maybe?

There's a massive library outside either faction, in the northwest, apparently.

[boutant]

Like those fairy rings?

We should find a way to get there.

[gordianknots]

Precisely so.

Hm. Boon request might be the quickest way there.

[boutant]

We would need a way back, though.

Perhaps a way to make our own fairy rings?

[gordianknots]

Those might be worth learning to make period.

Although the other option would be to be very specific with the boon and include a mandatory "I also need a ring to get back." Precise wording and all that.

[boutant]

And no time limits, on top of that.

[gordianknots]

Definitely no time limits. Not that I think being stuck in a massive library would be a terrible thing, but I'm biased.

[boutant]

No, but I expect that someone would miss us eventually.
