"Is this like when the little red man tried to convince people that selling their souls was a good idea?"

[pandoras_closet]

Nope. Don't deal in souls. The tax forms are a pain in the ass

[violet_cure]

Blink,head tilts, blink.

"Souls have a tax on them?"

[pandoras_closet]

Everything has a tax on it.

I'm not sure why this amuses me so much.

[pandoras_closet]

You go with what you know.

[thingsexplode]

I'd get in on the 'help for payment', but I doubt anyone would trust me.

[pandoras_closet]

Mmm. Which reminds me. You and I need to have a few words.

"Do you have a cure for the common cold?"

[pandoras_closet]

*Produces a small vial of clear liquid* Right here. That will be two silver coins, please.

[lildevil_types]

"Really?" That's out before Hikaru can stop himself. "Real silver, or... wow, I'll have to go find something. Will something made of silver count, or does it have to be coins?"

Made of silver will do

[pandoras_closet]

((Noted. Thanks))

"So, in basic terms you can defy reality?"

[pandoras_closet]

Yup. If I need to.

[fullmetal_piers]

"Interesting. Do you do this with your powers directly, or do you have an item that accomplishes the same?"

[pandoras_closet]

It's all me.
