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?

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?

How interesting. I have never seen anyone spin thread.

【 VIDEO 】

[intogold]

Oh no? Well, it's quite the process.

I don't spin thread these days though. Well, not traditional thread.

【 VIDEO 】

[alwaysmindful]

What do you spin?

【 VIDEO 】

[intogold]

Straw. [He raises a finger with a little flourish.] And I spin it into gold.

【 VIDEO 】

[alwaysmindful]

Straw into gold? [Oh you have surprised him.] That's so impressive it almost sounds impossible. I believe you to this with some form of ability.

[intogold]

[He laughs a bit at that, nodding eagerly.] Oh yes, it's certainly magic. But a bit of a specialized skill of mine.

[alwaysmindful]

That is very rare and very powerful. To change matter itself at will, how fascinating.

【 VIDEO 】

[intogold]

Quite rare! Though magic is everywhere, in the world I am from. Magic as powerful as mine though, it's much rarer.

[alwaysmindful]

What are you if magic is your trade? Magic is but a simple myth in my world, but there have been Jedi who have become so strong with the force that have done similar things.

[intogold]

I am Rumpelstiltskin. I'm a purveyor of things that people cannot otherwise obtain or acquire. I make deals.

Now... what is a Jedi, deary? That's a word I don't recognize.

【 VIDEO 】

[alwaysmindful]

We are guardians of the peace, wielders of the light, and users of the living force. The force is all around us, it talks to us and we can manipulate it.

【 VIDEO 】

[intogold]

I see! How fascinating! Admittedly, it sounds a bit like magic -- all around and manipulable! I'm intrigued.

【 VIDEO 】

[alwaysmindful]

Perhaps some time we can compare. I would like to see you spin thread into gold.

【 VIDEO 】

[intogold]

Lovely! I'd enjoy that! [Bit of a giggle here.] And I would be happy to demonstrate.

【 VIDEO 】

[alwaysmindful]

Whenever you're free, it would give us something to do.

[intogold]

My schedule is rather empty, save for a bit of looking about for a suitable shop. And of course, finding a suitable spinning wheel. So perhaps we can meet in a few days.

[alwaysmindful]

I will wait till then.
