Deal 002 ❖ [Video]

[intogold]

[And onto the video screen comes a grinning face, looking just a bit excited. But then, he has something in his conniving little head. He can't quite seem to help it.

Or maybe he can. Half of his actions are a carefully kept facade. But either way, here's the grin and the video feed fidgets just a bit as he sets it down on a table.]

Good afternoon to everyone! I... am looking for something.

I think I'm getting the general lay of this place. Yesyes, it's starting to make sense. Fascinating as it is. Strange as it is. But I've yet to find a certain something I would rather like to acquire.

So tell my, dearies, can anyone tell me where I might find a spinning wheel?

[There is a moment of silence before...]

Why they HELL would you need a spinning wheel?

[Video]

[intogold]

Because I enjoy spinning, of course. It was my profession, a long time ago. These days I just find it relaxing.

[That and the whole spinning straw into gold thing comes in handy. But he's not bringing that up just yet.]

[sinister_blade]

[She has 'are you serious' look on her face.]

I do believe that there are other things more relaxing than spinning wheel.

[blitz_acing]

[He looks up thoughtfully with a pause.]

Maybe try one of the tailor shops?

[Video]

[intogold]

[A low hum at that.] That sounds quite sensible.

Now where -- on what world -- would I find one of those?

Isn't using a spinning wheel kind of old?

[Minako didn't even know that people still used them.]

Re: video;

[intogold]

Old? [He echoes curiously before a laugh bursts out.] Well, I am an old man, deary. But where I'm from at least, I wouldn't call it old fashioned I'd that's what you're getting at.

[albinoidiot]

You're a tailor?

[FINALLY! HE'S BEEN WANTING A NEW WARDROBE!]

[intogold]

I'm a spinner, deary. Did you have need of a tailor though? I may be able to help. [Always looking for his next deal, even small ones.]

【 VIDEO 】

[alwaysmindful]

A spinning wheel. And what would you use that for, friend?

【 VIDEO 】

[intogold]

For spinning, of course! [He knows it's not what Qui-Gon was actually asking, so after chuckling to himself he adds.] A lifetime ago, I was a spinner by profession. These days it's... Well, shall we call it a hobby?

【 VIDEO 】

[sonofaghost]

I think I've seen some in Agrabah, but wouldn't' you want a sewing machine better?

【 VIDEO 】

[intogold]

Goodness no. I have no interest in sewing. Just spinning. Straw into gold. It's a lovely way to pass the time.

But Agrabah, hmm? I shall have to look there!

[iscursednomore]

Maybe Port Royal has one somewhere, but I don't know.

[Leaning over slightly, he rested his head upon his hand.]

Though what could you possibly want with a spinning wheel I wonder?

video;

[intogold]

Hmm! Another place to look. Excellent. I do like having options.

[His wild grin widens at that.] Everyone sounds so shocked! Are trades so rare these days? I wish to spin, of course. It's something of a hobby of mine. I used to spin for a living.

[Video]

[false_oracle]

...you spin?

Re: [Video]

[intogold]

I do! A lifetime ago, I was a spinner by trade.

video; private. always private. ♥

[sinfullysublime]

Have you found one yet?

permanently private~!

[intogold]

Not as such, no. I have been given several places to look, however.

[A vaguely amused smile.] And I've found that spinning and spinning wheels are something of a complete mystery to many here.

[ video ]

[darkerearth]

[ uh-oh. have an angry arms cross ]

[ video ]

[intogold]

[And up go Rumpelstiltskin's eyebrows.] Something troubling you, deary?

( video )

[spellbreaking]

Business as usual? ( have an amused smile )

( video )

[intogold]

Well, nearly. That's the goal anyway! [He chirps this out happily enough at the sight of her face.]

Beyond which I was thinking of finding a place to set up a shop. Up for taking a look around, perhaps?

[video]

[sanguineheels]

A spinning wheel? [a tilt of her head.] I haven't seen anything like that around here. But maybe with some help you could construct one? It looks like you're settling in well. I'm glad.

[video]

[intogold]

Construct one? I expect that's an option. [He's much more interested in the one Maleficent has now. Really, his finding that tidbit out is probably a dangerous, dangerous thing.]

But thank you, deary. I do seem to be settling in well enough.
