Tyki.

And have you met any others with these? [Taps the '+'s on his forehead.] They are a bit of a family tradition.

[bejeweled]

[ . . . ]

I haven't. But it's nice to meet you, Tyki.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

I can easily say the same.

[Motions to the room.]

So you pray to these gods?

[bejeweled]

I don't pray to gods of any kind. I use their services when I have to.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

You make them sound more like stores than gods.

[bejeweled]

If you want to worship I won't stop you.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Not at all. The gods I know are unpredictable and fickle creatures that one doesn't walk up to and speak with. It is merely something different.

[bejeweled]

These gods may also be fickle. I prefer to keep my interactions with them like a store, however.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

And what exactly do you purchase? Food, clothes, and roof over your head...

[bejeweled]

The roof is free if you can clear the nature out of it. Otherwise everything has to come from them.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Ah. Well, if you decide to go out for another nature hunt and need a partner, I could entertain.

I'll have to find out which god is bartering for cigarettes first though.

[bejeweled]

I'm always up for teaming with others. It's far easier to get what I need then.

That'll be Agon or Felicia. There's a display that will tell you who takes what, for future reference.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Once I figure out how this all works, I may seek you out, my dear. It seems not everything is as cut and dry.

[He laughs.] They are really like stores. Complete with menus.

[bejeweled]

I'll look forward to it.

[ a beat ]

If you go for Agon, don't start bidding high. He's the god of games, after all.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Noted. I bet he doesn't enjoy people cheating as his games either.

[bejeweled]

I don't know. I thought about trying that next.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

What a sly, girl. Do let me know if it turns out in your favor.

[bejeweled]

"Sly"? No way, I'm just trying to get the most out of my deals. It's only fair since they're extorting us too!

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

My, my, I do like the way you think.

[bejeweled]

Give as good as you get, right?

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

Or more. If the situation allows it.

[bejeweled]

You're not bad.

I'm not into hand-holding, so I won't give you the tour. But once you settle let's talk more. I'm here or the larger cleared out common area on the third floor pretty often.

[fortuneforyourdisaster]

I'll keep an eye out for you then.

And happy hunting.

[bejeweled]

. . . to you too.
