If anyone has any information regarding Dorian, I would much appreciate it.

Specifically, I'm looking for details on exactly how many memories need to be traded to buy an exit for someone from the City.

((OOC: For the curious, Kitty's trying to get Bartimaeus out of the City following this log.))

This person can get you out of the City?

[kittyjones]

Dorian? Yes, she's gotten people out before, but you have to... pay a price. Which is what I'm concerned about.

What's your name? I'm Kitty, Kitty Jones.

[soulxcrush]

Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Luke fon Fabre.

Me and my friend are looking for a way out...what does she charge?

[kittyjones]

It's a pleasure. Oh, I met a guy the other day who was looking for you! Called Guy, funnily enough. Did you find him?

She charges... you pay her in memories. You forget something and you gain something. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're... desperate.

[soulxcrush]

Yeah, Guy found me! Thanks for helping us out. And if he screamed it wasn't you at all. He's just a little nervous around women.

[soulxcrush]

Memories...? I...guess we might get desperate eventually though I don't think it's worth the risk yet since we haven't tried anything else.

What is it that has you resorting to asking her?

[kittyjones]

Oh good, I'm glad! It was no trouble at all. And yes, he did seem to be a little... nervous... about the fairer sex, though thankfully I don't think I compelled him to scream.

It isn't worth the risk I don't think, not yet. Sometimes people just stumble across exits all by themselves - I'd look around before I started signing over your memories.

I... my friend is ill, and he needs to return home. Soon.

[soulxcrush]

Yeah, he's gotten better but he still gets freaked out most of the time when girls touch him.

I'm sorry about your friend...and I didn't mean to intrude. Guess I just don't think before I speak. But...I think it will be fine? If it's something that you weren't meant to give up no amount of desperation can take it from you I think.

[kittyjones]

I'll remember to give him a wide berth then (physically, that is). Did something happen to him?

No, it's fine. I don't mind. That... that makes sense, strangely enough. You're quite reassuring, you know.

[soulxcrush]

Yeah. But it's in the past and I'm sure he'll get over it eventually. And he really likes girls.

I-I am? I'm glad it helped even a little.

[kittyjones]

I'm glad to hear you think he'll get better then. What, so he loves girls, but is afraid to touch them? That must be an annoying contradiction to live by. I can imagine it must have thrown up some awkward situations, no?

Yes, and even a little is appreciated.

[soulxcrush]

Haha, you have no idea. He's a natural womanizer lady's man. The maids loved him and the girls in Baticul too, thought he was cute.

Yeah, I know even a little can feel like a big difference. And I hope your friend gets better.

[kittyjones]

Oh dear, one of those types, is he? I suppose I'd better be on the lookout, then. Must protect my maidenly reputation and all that.

I... thank you.

[soulxcrush]

Well at least until he gets over the gynophobia he's pretty harmless? Not too much to worry about.

It's nothing. And I hope I'll see you around, however long I'll end up here.

[kittyjones]

Heh, I was being sarcastic. My reputation for being maidenly is hardly a large one!

I hope I'll see you around too! It's always nice to make friends in the City. And I wish you luck in getting out, you and your friends.

Y-you're not maidenly?
