Hrm, might I be able to request the assistance of some here? I have a few jobs both on world and off world that I'd need some help with.

Please inquire to know more.

::It's a rather nice spring and the shop has updated for the spring season. Though in the center aisle as usual is that large, creepy mirror that reflects weird stuff. Though perhaps you need some spring clothes, or perhaps spring Haiku, or prepare for graduation ceremonies at normal schools.

There is also of course the green house manned by my lovely assistant.::

Side-effects? What are the supposed side-effects?

I wouldn't mind doing that.

They potentially become more what the mirror shows. Staring into the abyss, and what not. Stripping the layers, but it's not required.

That is being sold at auction in a rather quaint city with rather lovely aquaducts.

[observershikou]

... That sounds dangerous, yes. It would be bad if someone who keeps something dangerous hidden, became more like that, yes?

Really? Hmm...

[by_the_pricking]

Yes. Fortunately the vast number of people, their outsides and insides aren't that vastly different. However the mirror is an object I'm very fond of.

You will be adequately compensated for your time. If not by money, then by services, Sir.

[observershikou]

And you want to make sure it's still exactly safe to have around and on display, I take it?

Hmmm, right now I'm more thinking of how one would retrieve it, in that kind of case. I'll do my best, however, if you'll have me.

[by_the_pricking]

Quite. Mostly because I consider it a bit of an old friend.

Whatever means you deem necessary. Tell me when you're ready for the job.

[observershikou]

We can first try with the testing or your mirror, I guess. If it's fine, then it's fine, but if not... I think I can handle anything else.

I will, though.

[by_the_pricking]

If you could find someone for the mirror, that would be quite helpful, you need not hurt yourself over it.

Good.

[observershikou]

I think really, I'd rather be the one who do it, than to choose someone else. I'm sure I'll be fine. After all, it's only a test, right? To make sure if it's the case or not?

[by_the_pricking]

It's mostly I remember, if I am correct, you have certain skeletons you'd prefer not be laid bare.

[observershikou]

... That is true, but I don't think I'd be able to live with myself elsewise, if say, someone I know stands in front of that mirror, and something happens to them, instead.

I tend to see too many cases of me just standing idly by and letting someone else take a blow that I could either take myself, or help them avoid. So... While there are things like that, that I'd prefer not to show, it's outweighed by not wanting to put anyone else into direct danger. If that's understandable to say, sir.

[by_the_pricking]

Understandable.

But I am not so weak or selfish as to harm my customers.

[observershikou]

Hah, I didn't think that, no.

If I feel like something is happening, I'll say it immediately, alright, sir? I think I have enough of a... Grip, on things, that I'd be able to handle it.

[by_the_pricking]

Very well then.
