... Fucking Department of Backstory, what was that curse! I never want to see another wedding dress.

Two days, damn it. Since when do they last that long?

Can we-trade for stuff from home?

A lot of people do.

So: yes.

How much would it take to get my laptop here?

Odds and ends, dribs and drabs.

Not as much as, say, if you'd wanted the restoration of life, but, heaven help us, technology is but our lifeline in this modern silicon age.

Make me an offer. Let's negotiate. I like to negotiate.

Uh. Some guy said you took... memories? What kind do you want?

I do like a good memory to keep in a bell jar, admire for a while, analyze, pick apart, play with, teach a few tricks to, advise it not to end sentences with prepositions, all of that.

I like ones that fit the bill, ones that matter. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Remembering what you ate for lunch today means less than remembering asking that Special Someonetm to lunch.

Catch my drift?

Got any particulars you'd like to suggest?

I don't know what gods think's interesting! I remember... moving a giant clock's hands with A-T once? Or the memory of when my parents left.

[ Neither of them particularly sentimental or important memories, but what can you do, he's dumb. ]

I find many things interesting.

Of the two, I'm more inclined to the latter than to the former.

That means the second one.

But I'd take both and it might be closer to a fair trade.

[ooc: For something like this laptop (with software, of course), it's a pretty small trade. So just a memory or two will do. The Deities tend to like it when characters give up things that leave them with odd gaps in their memories though which don't necessarily alter their personalities. Mostly because that causes some consternation for the character, which is like paying a price.]

So, family memories? I guess there's the time they got Chiwa for us, too...

Wait a sec-do I get these back?

[ ooc; Sounds good to me! Kazu's consternated already. ♥ ]

Do you want me to take out a repossession order on the laptop?

Then, no, you don't. This is payment. You don't generally get your payment back unless something goes terribly, terribly wrong.

[ooc: Cool. Just laying it out so you can have some ideas and things to play with here.]

... fine. You need all three, or just two of 'em?

Reply

[Deity Filter] laszlo_jamf July 19 2011, 03:15:08 UTC
Careful: if you offer three, I'll take three. And now that I know you have three in mind, do you think you can talk me back down to two?

Remember, this is a business dealing. You have to pay to get what you want. If you try to cheat me, well, I know I can't be held responsible for someone dropping something during transport.

[ooc: I'll take either two or three. If it's just two, it'll have to be two good ones, if that makes sense. But, as you prefer.]
