Considering the sudden value this particular species has put on, I don't believe many collectors or institutes will be lending them out anytime soon." "So then how are we going to get it?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 11, 2023 Author Posted January 11, 2023 “Not sure yet.” Kris sipped his tea.

I don't get angry or sad."

"Feel any better about the research now?"

Channelknight Fadran Posted January 11, 2023 Author Posted January 11, 2023 Honestly, the last thing Kris had been expecting was a whole friendship arc happening so soon. He cleared his throat. “Me and some agents have been establishing some cred and reputation for the owner of this house as a collector in the event something like this happened. It’s possible that with some finesse we could land our hands on one of the government-controlled samples.”
InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Marilyn took a sip of tea. The warmth spread through her body. Being warmish numbed her pain for a couple of seconds. "What does finesse mean again?" She took another sip, smiling. "And how much of this do you have?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 11, 2023 Author Posted January 11, 2023 “I have plenty more,” Kris replies, “and ‘finesse’ in this case means that we’d have to talk to the right people and make the right moves in order to get our hands on it.”
InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 "So is there any way we can help you with that?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 11, 2023 Author Posted January 11, 2023 “Ideas, mostly. And details. An outline of a plan isn’t a plan.”
InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 "Okay. Who are the 'right people' you mentioned earlier?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted January 11, 2023 Author Posted January 11, 2023 “I have a list of them somewhere. There are quite a few options, each with their own pros and cons.”
InfiniteInsanity she/her Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 "They're all going to be the kind of people that you have make an appointment with to talk to aren't they?"

"But... we don't really know anything about this world, do we? We don't know who this 'government' is, we only know a little about the natural energy systems here, and we don't know anything about their culture. For goodness sakes, we don't even know what country we're in!"

Now if you need to look like them that's something different."

Population is roughly ten thousand, mostly middle-class and servants and such. Just about every trend here lasts three or four years, but currently top hats and sleek cloaks are in fashion. Locals work from sunup to sundown with a few houred breaks in between, and always speak as politely as possible with friends and strangers alike. There hasn't been any real conflict in this nation for generations, so paranoia is uncommon."
