mun wants to get back in an RP groove, muse is displeased

[solowingpixy]

We're doin' this again, kid? You don't know when to give up; but at least I can take comfort in knowing you won't be sending me off into a proper game this time. You don't have the determination for that.

[He rolls his eyes.]

But since you don't have anything better to do than waste my time, bear in mind that the longer you hang around, the more it's gonna cost you. I'm not gonna listen to your 'RP' ideas and rantings without gettin' paid for it, especially if you're gonna try to get that one friend of yours involved.

[ ... ]

Accuse me of havin' a thing for Cipher once more and it'll cost you double.

That's a good idea... charge for our services.

[Sixteen year-old looks thoughtful.]

[solowingpixy]

I'm not one for doin' things for free. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone.

[After all, if they've got these muns to deal with, they might as well take advantage of it.]

[colour_conjuror]

I could probably score a few extra Galleons from this...

[A shrug.]

But, then again, it might not be worth it.

[solowingpixy]

You never know, kid. Sometimes they get more cooperative if you have no intention of listening to them.

[Or maybe he just really knows how to get his mun wrapped around his finger. It's hard to tell.]

[colour_conjuror]

I can just turn his hair orange, though. Or his shoes purple.

[solowingpixy]

[A faint smirk.]

Do that enough and he might have to pay you not to do it.

[colour_conjuror]

Well, I can do a lot more, but we're not really supposed to use magic around Muggles.

Not sure what the rules are about other universes, though.

[solowingpixy]

[Oh god, that 'Muggle' word again. He's got flashbacks to that broomstick game he had to play a year ago now.]

Pretty sure we're not bound by any rules out here. As far as I'm concerned, I'll do what I please around here.

I'd like to believe that, but the Ministry of Magic has a nasty habit of being able to hear everything.

Besides, all I have to do is wait a year.

[solowingpixy]

The sort that's got intel everywhere, huh? What a pain. They've got no idea what we're dealin' with if they expect you to abide by those restrictions of theirs out here.

[herr_forehead]

Boy, your mun must have really run you into the ground if you're asking for payment.

...How would that work, exactly?

[solowingpixy]

Given what she put me through, I've been too lenient with her. But it's easy, kid. She gets me the money I'm askin', I'll be more cooperative. That's how working with a mercenary goes.

[He shrugs.]

And I might even accept payment in whiskey once in a while.

[herr_forehead]

...My name's Apollo. Not "kid."

[What is everyone's deal with calling him that?]

And I guess... I'm not exactly the mercenary type, but if my mun needs any legal advice, I'll probably charge.

[solowingpixy]

Whatever you say, kid.

[Sorry, Apollo. That's just the sound of Pixy not caring.]

Sounds like a solid plan, but how likely do you think it is that they'll need that kind of advice in the first place? Wouldn't hurt to have a Plan B.

[herr_forehead]

[Rude.]

I can't exactly offer anything else. I'm a defence attorney.

[solowingpixy]

[Rude is probably Pixy's middle name.]

And here I thought you law types could do anything to get money out of your clients.
