deal 006 ❖ [video]

[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?

[Hey, his names was used. That Deary thing was sounding a bit to saccharine for him. ]

So what are you working on that requires something as mythological as 'true love'?

[intogold]

A potion, of sorts. I managed it back home, but unfortunately it's no longer in my possession here. Quite the tragedy really.

[styx_and_stones]

A potion, yeah... got that... a potion that does what, exactly?

[Video]

[intogold]

It depends how it's used. Something so powerful is versatile, after all. A good cloth may be cut into many useful shapes, after all.

[styx_and_stones]

Uh huh... Anything made from a weak emotion like that, I can't see any reason to go to all the trouble.

[Video]

[intogold]

Well, perhaps you can't. But I have my reasons.

[A shrug of his shoulders and that smile, vaguely malicious as it always tends to be, even if he doesn't mean it to.]

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

Yea, knock yourself out, it's not like its going to do any good, I was just curious you know with all of the table flipping and glass breaking...

[Video]

[intogold]

I do hope I've indulged your curiosity then sufficiently, deary.

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

Oy... again with the 'deary'...

[Face meet palm.]

Don't begrudge an old man his habits too much, hmm? I barely notice it, I'm afraid.
