deal 006 ❖ [video]

[intogold]

[The video is on. But Rumpelstiltskin is unaware of this, largely because it was turned on as it was flung against a wall.

He's having a bit of a tantrum. These are, thankfully, quite rare, but also quite violent. There is broken glass strewn about, vials and bottles shattered and small pools of variously colored liquids.]

Useless! All of this entirely useless. How is it there's not one pair in true love in this entire mess of an existence?!

[It's about here his eyes fall on his communicator and he realizes he's being watched. He straightens up a bit, schools his face into a bit of a smile. Tense around the edges, pulled a bit too taut over his features.]

Well dearies, sorry you had to see that. Call it a bit of frustration and homesickness. I suppose perhaps while I have some of your attention, I should make the most of it. What is the happiest memory you have? What would you be willing to sacrifice to reclaim it?

So it would seem. Worlds are a bit tricky, deary. Some are the same but simply different sides of it. Others are different entirely.

Have you really? [A laugh.] They didn't want your companionship, your love, your goodwill? And what of the things that they did not do and instead did for you. Everything has a cost. Magic more obviously than most things.

This one has only been to three worlds, this one's included.

[ she's so naive. they did want something from her ] No, they did not... They protected this one.

[intogold]

Well there are multiple ones here to visit it seems.

[At this he laughs again, a sharp, high pitched sort of sound.] You're either deluding yourself or lying to yourself, deary. Either way.

[thisonemaiden]

This one...can't get to them.

[ she doesn't say anything in response, sounding as though she's shifting ]

[ audio ]

[intogold]

Oh? And why is that now?

[He'll let that matter rest for now anyway.]

[ audio ]

[thisonemaiden]

...This one is unable to see by normal means. [ so she can't really power a Gummi ship or anything all on her own :/ ]

[ audio ]

[intogold]

Well, now that does make things difficult. But surely there's someone who'd be willing to take you, were you to ask.

[He chuckles.] This place is full of helpful types.

[thisonemaiden]

The moogles have been very kind to this one, along with a lot of others. But this one would not know where to begin...

[ audio ]

[intogold]

Begin with this charming little device, deary. Pipe up and ask for what you want.

It's the only way to get the things which you desire, after all, is to make them known.
