Deal 002 ❖ [Video]

[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?

[That has him laughing and he shrugs a bit.] I spin straw into gold. What use is money to me exactly?

What the- you make straw into gold? That's awesome! That's- that's some really serious talent!

[Be his friend so he can mooch off, oh please!]

I do, yes. It passes the time! [A slow, toothy little grin.] It has come in handy in the past.

What the hell do you need payment for! You can make gold out of straw.

That's why I see no use in monetary compensation, deary. But I've come to appreciate the value in... things that cannot be bought so traditionally. And you can't expect something for nothing.

This doesn't sound good. What are you goin' on about?

Not good? Just that I prefer to deal in different commodities. Some people possess certain skills or certain sway. Some possess items of particular rareness and value. All much more interesting than money!

I don't like being anyone's bitch so as long as we can deal with this right here and now, I'm willing to do what you want.

Well, I see no reason why we can't! Save that I don't know you very well.

How long have you been in this place? And what sort of skills do you possess?

I've been here for a really long time and I can do a lot of things. [He grins. Love the vague?]

How elucidating. [Rumpelstiltskin just laughs.] Care to elaborate or should I try to guess?

I'm a devil. A demon. Whatever you want to call it. [Since he was bound to find out sooner or later from someone or other. Stupid Vergil.]

But don't go spilling that info around.

Far be it from me to wantonly discuss a man's inner nature.

[But well, that's interesting.] So as a demon you're rather strong then, presumably?

Yeah, I'm pretty strong.

Then that's the price I'll ask! A promise of your strength, should the need arise. [That manic grin is back.] Not for me, of course. I can more than take care of myself. But there is a woman here by the name of Belle, and should she ever need it, I'd have her protected. From what I can tell, trouble does pop up here from time to time.

What do you say, deary? Are these agreeable terms?

[Whoa. This changes things.]

A girl, you say? Well, that changes things. It's my job to protect people around here you know, I'm the chief of the police force.

You got a deal.

Yes. [Still that smile.] Good. No harm is to come to her, regardless of its source?

Then yes, a deal.

Well then, this was easier than I thought!

Well, glad to hear that this won't be too taxing.

So then, I'll see about preparing your wardrobe. It shouldn't take me too long.

I like you. I really like you. I'm going to get you some cookies from my best friends bakery.

How nice to be liked.

[Well now.] Bakery, is it? Certainly you're not referring to Sebastian, are you?

No, don't think I know that guy. I'm talkin' about Fai.

...I think it's more of a cafe but he bakes too. He doesn't mind special requests.

I see. I believe I've spoken to him briefly.

[...oooh?] Special requests, deary? What sort of special requests?

I like doughnuts. I really like doughnuts. He makes me doughnuts when I ask.
