"Hey, this knife begins to vibrate when close this cowdude. Maybe we're supposed to punish them? I mean, they wouldn't give us the knives if we had to punish ourselves, right? Do your knives vibrate as well?"

"Any amount. More is better. Can you keep these coming?"
"Certainly. As long as nothing unfortunate happens to me or my supplier. And as long as I keep getting something in return, of course. I need to make a living and right now I've invested most of my savings in this project, you see."

I sure hope I can keep track of all those lies I'm saying. I don't like this. But what is the alternative? Tell them "it's magic, a wizard did it"?

Approaching the cowmen, Trey confirms that he seems to encounter the same thing. Luz does the same (confirming to you that watching a koala carrying a knife is indeed slightly terrifying as well as very cute), and offers further confirmation.

"How rude! I come here looking for help and this is what I get? Crazy chimneys and underwear people?"

"How's two grand per pair sound?"
"It sounds excellent!" for something I have paid absolutely nothing to receive!

Eta showered Bart and Little Tay with questions in her excitement.
"Would you be willing to buy some right now? I could use some money for a meeting of a more... personal nature I have planned later today."

"Oh and would you like to sign some sort of agreement? My legal advisor is downstairs, I could get her right now and we could draft some sort of contract in an expedient manner."


"Oh, and could I perhaps gain accomodation to this hotel free of charge as part of that deal? Or are you not in a position to make that offer? It would be nice to have permanent accommodation in this city and I have really taken a liking to this place."

"This is so great! I can't believe I managed to find a buyer so quickly!"

Eta said the last part more to herself than the two men.

Eerl, re-are oo ave oore hhock repleted, sayeth DUNKER, already with the donut in his mouth.

Eatify donut!

You eat the donut, and this time pause to taste it a little.

[Your mind roll: 5]

You find that it tastes rather good! And also that whatever back alley hallucinogens are in this thing, they seem to be good enough to get into your bloodstream from your mouth. Your tongue becomes completely numb as you begin chewing, and your eyes slowly roll into the back of your head as your entire body begins to shake. And then, rather predictably, things go dark once more, and you find yourself in a dark void, completely weightless and thus without any real repercussions (in the mechanical sense, anyway) from your morbid obesity. Brimming with immense gladness, you immediately demonstrate your newfound spryness and spin away from a scintillating orange laser beam, then twist in place to avoid being hit by a light green ray of light. And for your next trick, you go ahead and do something seemingly impossible - contorting your body like an annelid, you launch yourself away, avoiding a massive aquamarine light shining in your general direction. Regaling in your triumph, you float on through the ancient darkness and take a careful look around before the entire area is bathed in golden light in an impossible to dodge manner - blinded by the light, you squeak and flail, your mind filling with miscellanea of arcane power!


"So, what do you reckon we should do? Stab the cows?"

Trey approaches one of the cows.

"They... do look pretty stabbable as far as cows go. How about you do it and me and Luz will go stand off to the side a bit?"

Try and sense for a leyline or something.

You're pretty sure you sense some kind of energy coming from both above and below you!

"This is so great! I can't believe I managed to find a buyer so quickly!"

Eta said the last part more to herself than the two men.

"Bring me fifteen pairs this afternoon. I'll be in the back room behind reception with the money. If you got the goods, we'll be good," Little Tay says. "Even better if you stay here for free."

I try to use Storm of Distracting Underwear as a kind of levitation riding it up to the energy source.

((Oh dear, I hope they don't have anything bad in that back room.))

"Excellent! I can do that. I've got about 7 pairs right now with me, although I'm certain I could get some more by then if I hurry.
We'll talk in the afternoon then. Unless there's something else you wish to discuss?"


What would I say the definition of afternoon is in this society? Because I've heard it being used for almost every time after 12 o'clock.

"No, we're good. Be seeing you," Little Tay says and shuts the door.

"That went good," Bart observes and begins to head off.

Afternoon is a very nonspecific thing, to be honest. Pretty much the closest thing you've got is that it is indeed sometime after noon and before six PM or so.

"Yeah, I suppose that's fair. I got you into this mess after all."

Stab one of the cowmen once. If no horrifying stuff happens, stab him until he's good and dead.
