w0, tuesday evening

[magichammer]

[ after all that exciting hubbub with the bodies and stuff, Ulrika will approach with Albin slinking after her ]

Heeeeeeeeeey, Power! Could you do me a teensie favor?

[powerplay]

[ She's still covered in blood and stuff because this girl doesn't shower. ]

What is it?

[ She's still got the bag she looted, throwing out soft and past-expiry vegetables out. ]

[magichammer]

[ hm... well... maybe it'll keep the spectre monsters away. ]

I picked up some stuff from the lighthouse, but it's kind of heavy. Do you think you could help me move it to my work area?

[powerplay]

Me? Why should I? Do I get sweets if I do?

[ She's just being... herself. I'm so sorry Ulrika. Then again you did almost try to make her eat a shoe soup??? ]

[magichammer]

[ she didn't try to make her eat shoe soup, just root broth! which i guess is just as bad for Power, rip ]

Sure! After I figure out how to make them. But it can't be that hard, right?

[powerplay]

Okay! Deal! But if I don't get sweets, I will have your blood!

[ Ulrika dubconned into giving Power blood. ]

I expect something good, human!

1/3

[magichammer]

What?! My blood? I didn't agree to that! Why would you even want it?

2/3

[magichammer]

[ oh but... Power's a devil or something... right...? ]

3/3

[magichammer]

Actually, if I give you some of my blood, can I have some of yours?

[powerplay]

Because I love blood!

[ That's it that's the whole reason? ]

Asking for my blood means you're drafting up a contract, human! What do I get in return?!

[magichammer]

What? Why would I want a contract, you're not a Mana!

[ Uryu or bust ]

What's a contract with you even do, anyways?

[powerplay]

I keep telling you I'm a devil! Are you hard of hearing?!

Contracting with devils is one way humans make peace with devils. They contract us, we give them a power, and we get something for ourselves in return. Aki had a contract with the Fox Devil in return for letting it eat his flesh, for example, and Fox would also eat up something of his choosing!

[magichammer]

I'm not hard of hearing! You're hard of hearing!

[ aw yeah, awesome zinger..... but... why is there flesh eating suddenly ]

I don't want you to eat my flesh! Or drink my blood! I need those!

[powerplay]

My ears are better than yours!

[ This is the stupidest 'brag' yet. ]

Then we don't have a deal! Blood or bust!

[magichammer]

But I wasn't asking for a deal! I wanted a favor! I just need you to carry this clock for me!

[ she just wants to take it somewhere... ]

[powerplay]

I want something out of it!

[ AT LEAST SHE'S HONEST. ]

[magichammer]

I said I'd try figuring out how to make sweets for you...

[ :( don't you twust her, power ]

[powerplay]

Then do you want my blood or not?

[ Right back to normal when sweets are brought up again. She expects these candies, you. ]

[magichammer]

[ well now Ulrika has the fear of Power hunting her down and eating her flesh, so she'll actually try to oblige.

as for the blood... ]

... Can we revisit this idea later, maybe? I want to see if anything is gonna make alchemy work, but I don't think we should be bleeding ourselves out on a tiny chance. And this contract thing sounds really serious.

[powerplay]

[ I'm in tears. Ulrika honey. ]

I can heal myself up from any injury with some blood anyway. [ Alas, poor ignorance of nerfiage. ]

Very well! This stupid task first! Show me what you're trying to move!

[magichammer]

[ it's a valid concern in her eyes! ]

Maybe you can, but I can't!

[ her and her pathetic, weak, human flesh

Ulrika gestures at a sack she left leaning against the wall. there's something sort of... large and block shaped in it ]

I grabbed it from the lighthouse - dunno if it'll be useful for anything, but can't hurt.

[powerplay]

[ If it weren't for her ability to heal up, she'd also just be a pathetic weak human flesh. Which really just means, right now, they're on equal footing and Power just doesn't really know it. Unfortunate.

Speaking of Power, she's waddling over to the thing and putting her hands on it, trying to look around it like a curious ferret ready to just. Well, put her hands all over it, I guess. ]

What's in it?

[magichammer]

It's a clock!

[ yup ]

[powerplay]

Why did you put it in a bag?

[ How big is this thing... trying to give it a lift. ]

[magichammer]

[ it's... i'm not sure. 2-3 feet tall? squints real hard at the provided picture ]

Uh, well... were you around the other day when Sheba, me, and Yuri came back from the lighthouse?

[ the whole "who the fuck moved our body" thing ]
