Deal 001 ❖ [Video]

[intogold]

[Well well, this little communicator was invaluable. Oh yes, people shared and shared and shared. And Rumpelstiltskin listened. He's only just arrived, but he that hasn't stopped him from paying attention, from learning how this little thing worked. Now though, he flips his own on to share a bit himself. The video shows his strange smiling face, but before he manages to speak, he laughs, all at once, a sudden explosion of a trilling little sound.] This is terribly interesting, isn't it?

Tell me, has anyone else noticed... [A little pause here and he wiggles his fingers.] familiar faces that aren't actually familiar here? I just don't know what to make of it. [This was a lie. He'd already decided to use it to his advantage. Oh there were ways to do this; he was sure of it. He was still working it through though.]

But since we're speaking of familiarity, let me introduce myself. [A toothy grin that was largely not as reassuring as he might have hoped.] My name is Rumpelstiltskin and I am... a purveyor of necessities and fondest desires and useful magics. If you find yourself in need of the unfindable, well, I humbly... [He ducks his head in a bit of a mock bow, undermined a bit by another laugh.] offer my services. Of course, bear in mind, all things, especially magical, have their price. One can't do business for nothing!

Comments

[intogold]

[A little nod and he hums thoughtfully.] All these different worlds... are there any of particular interest that you've found?

[sinfullysublime]

[ He takes a moment to think. ] Hn. ...these supposed worlds, nothing that's not been done before, and nothing that's not been done better. I do, however, find the Underworld of some interest.

[intogold]

Is that so? [A little nod.] I'm not entirely surprised. Some of it does sound a touch familiar.

The Underworld? Hmm. Now that is interesting.

[sinfullysublime]

Mm. It's nothing all that special, [ His smirk broadens just a bit. ] assuming you have been around the block once or twice before. [ Small chuckle. ]

Isn't it. Hades resides there. I have been meaning to talk with him...

[intogold]

I've been around many a thing, yes. Many a place. This is new though, and needs to be... understood. [Understood so he can manipulate it and do what he needs to do.]

Oh? Planning a nice chat over tea?

[sinfullysublime]

I understand completely. [ He needs not go into anymore detail. ]

Hardly. He's far too uncouth for a civil chat. [ Sneers. ]

[intogold]

[You're the interesting sort. Rumpelstiltskin won't be forgetting this conversation. Goodness no.]

That's too bad. So much can be learned from a good talk. Of course, action has its place too.

[sinfullysublime]

[ He tries. It's been far too long since he last enjoyed a
conversation. Everybody here is so unbelievably dull. ]

I couldn't agree more. Pity, that. Oh, it most certainly does.
...and actions, they say, are far stronger than words.

[intogold]

They are, yes. And that is important to remember. But you strike me as a man who knows that lesson quite well.

[sinfullysublime]

If all else fails, [ He trails off into another small chuckle. ] I think this is a lesson that we're both quite familiar with. ...a shame that it's often forgotten. Some people need to be reminded...

[intogold]

People forget very easily, lessons that aren't learned with quite enough impact. It is a pity, really. [A light clucking of his tongue.] A downright shame.

[sinfullysublime]

I think that something ought to be done about it, because as you said, downright shame.

[intogold]

Something should! [An excited little singsong.] You sound like a man with something in mind.

[sinfullysublime]

Mm, [ Sets a finger to his lips as he smirks. ] perhaps. Interested?

[intogold]

Oh yes. [He lifts his hands and wiggles his fingers together a bit excitedly.] Thoroughly intrigued.

[sinfullysublime]

[ He tilts his head back as a shadow is cast over his eyes. Smirks, teeth gleaming as he speaks, ] Let's meet then, ...and discuss this. What do you say?

[intogold]

[Rumpelstiltskin's smile widens significantly at that.] That sounds more than agreeable, deary. When shall we meet?

[sinfullysublime]

[ He sets a finger to his lips. ] Mm, ...the sooner the better, I'd say.

[intogold]

Again I find myself in agreement. [Another flash of teeth, in amusement.] I'm afraid that I'm not really in any position to entertain, just arriving and all.

[sinfullysublime]

Mm. [ Smirks from behind his finger. ] Not to worry, my dear Friend, I own a Bakery in Town. We'll meet there and discuss matters over tea, ...if you're interested.

[ He sends a small file giving Rumpelstiltskin directions to the Bakery located in Traverse Town. ]

[intogold]

Well well! I'm not one to pass up a nice cup of tea. [The directions do seem easy enough.]

Seems I'll be bale to find you just fine. When would you like to see me?

[sinfullysublime]

Excellent. [ ...and what would tea be without a snack. He'll start making the preparations soon. ] I am free most all day. When is best for you?

[intogold]

My agenda is rather void of anything at the moment. I'll drop by in an hour or so? [A bit of exploring this Traverse Town first. Then, the bakery. And the most sinister of tea parties.]

[sinfullysublime]

Sure. I will see you then. [ ...and with that he shuts off the feed and goes to prepare everything for his soon to be guest.

[intogold]

[Rumpelstiltskin will be there just when he said. He's quite punctual, actually. Truthfully though, Sebastian interests him enough that he sees no reason to keep him waiting. So it's not long before there's a knock at the door to the shop.]
