8th Pesterlog // [Now Fortified With Impurities!] [Accidental Video]

[So, lately you might notice something a bit... off about the salt... yes, that's right, they are now touched with the noxious essences of corruptible energies that no human should ever dare meddle with. How unfortunate, then , that a few bottles of the stuff may even be lining your local food court! But don't worry, the stuff is relatively benign

[Color him worried.]

Rose? What's going on?

[maid_of_fthulu]

[wai u worried? everything is totally fine, can't you tell?]

Nothing is going on, Atem. I am busy.

[note_atem]

[THAT'S LIES AND HE KNOWS IT.]

I can see that. Doing what, exactly? [She doesn't want to play games, he can understand that. So. Cutting to the point because what is he witnessing besides someone pushing themselves too hard.]

[Chattiness isn't high, but even at her most clandestine she will always respond to friends.]

My system-appointed job this month. I am a salt miner. It is physically arduous but not a problem for me.

[Hefts salt.]

[note_atem]

[A what now. He didn't even realize this place ... what the hell is wrong with this place. For serious. Anyway.]

Perhaps not, but maybe some assistance would quicken your shift.

My alleged coworkers have left me be once they discovered my method for clearing salt.

Apparently I now have the reputation as "the white witch."

[note_atem]

Sounds like you could use an extra pair of hands, then.

[video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

Perhaps so. In the meantime, I'll simply have to make do with limited physical capital.

[Ugh, damnit. This piece of salt is too big for her tiny frame to lift.]

[video]

[note_atem]

[Well. He pauses for about ten or so seconds before simply asking-]

Where is this salt mine located?

[maid_of_fthulu]

[Sec. Using dark magic to shatter this piece of salt.]

[video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[she then addresses you again]

I'm fine, Atem. Thank you for your concern.

[video]

[note_atem]

[That's pretty interesting stuff but her health is more important.]

I never said you weren't fine. I was simply suggesting this would go faster if you had some help. [He's been careful about it the whole time.]

[video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[That's what makes this so frustrating! Tricksy tricksy.]

Surely you have more pressing concerns to busy yourself with. This is hardly worth the time and effort.

[video]

[note_atem]

If that's true you should stop protesting it and just let me lend you a hand.

[A light smirk.]

[video]

[maid_of_fthulu]

[okay that... she can't help but smirk a bit in response]

But I still have some good protestations left in me. We could continue this at least until close.

[video]

[note_atem]

We could but I doubt either of us wants to waste time on arguing when other things could be getting done.
