[the locket is being carried, facing outwards, around the castle of caer scima. the feed isn't too bumpy, but it does sway a bit, jerking around every so often as effy avoids tripping over rocks or branches. she's fairly far away from the castle, but that doesn't seem to bother her. every so often she stops, marking a tree with a sharp rock, to be sure she knows her way back.]

Okay.

[she stops momentarily to adjust the locket, turning it around so it shows her face. with her free hand, she tucks the rock away in her pocket and holds up one blue feather, twisting it around quickly between her fingertips.]

It really isn't too hard to find these, is it? They're everywhere.

[fortunately, for her, she doesn't seem to be feeling (or experiencing) the effects of the feathers just yet. she's found two already, within the past hour and a half or so. the effort isn't exhausting, so she's enjoying it. it's like an easter egg hunt. she's only doing it for the sake of figuring out boons, though.]

If anyone wants to come looking, text me.

[or they can follow the marked trees outside of the castle. they're pretty in-your-face.]

Oh, and if anyone's by the station, I'd like a few smokes. Thanks.

[and with that, the locket is closed, ending the feed.]

( ooc: feel free to find her wandering about looking for feathers around caer scima! or, alternatively, find her on her way back. whatever works for you :) )

[she narrows her eyes just slightly at him, but doesn't look put-off at his question-- she expected it.]

Depends. What do you want?

[deadpoet]

A ticket back to civilization. You have one handy?

[No, he doesn't reckon she has anything he'd want that's worth hoofing it back to Caer Scima for.]

[allures]

No.

[she shrugs a shoulder. her entire demeanor is nonchalant, she doesn't really care either way if she can or can't get the cigarettes. it would just be nice.]

I'm new. Haven't got much of anything.

[deadpoet]

Shame that. Well, the trouble is I don't fancy myself going back to Castle Scary anytime soon. I didn't much care for the company last time I was there.

[allures]

Why the offer, then?

[she's only a little bit annoyed about it. she had been hoping he would at least try and come through.]

[deadpoet]

I thought you might make it worth my while.

[Or perhaps he'd just wanted to annoy her. He does that sometimes.]

[allures]

[thanks for nothing, man.]

Cheeky. Better luck next time.

[deadpoet]

Think of this as a fine chance of ridding yourself of a bad habit.

[allures]

It's a bad habit? Haven't heard.

[deadpoet]

Straight from the surgeon general, love. I'm doing you a favor, keeping them to myself.

[allures]

Right.

[what a party pooper.]

Enjoy those. I'll get mine elsewhere.
