hail and well met good citizens of hadriel! i am magnus burnsides, and i am new to this whole. thing. this thing i am holding in my hands. sorry if i make any weird faux pas i was literally born yesterday. i am but a babe in this land of science fiction.

this is beside my point here but there are a LOT of weird things in these houses?? does anyone know what these machines are for?? i tried pressing some buttons but now the place just smells like bad eggs?

anyway the point is:
is there any way to get back something the door didnt bring with you? like a special weapon or beloved pet or dwarven cleric? does the door do delivery basically is what im asking here. can i order take out from the door. can i special order fries from the door.

i know i just have a ton of questions and nothing really useful to offer in return. tell you what, ill make you a sweet wooden duck or something as thanks. willing to be flexible on the shape of the wooden item. alternately if you got something made of wood and its broken i can take care of that for ya. help me and ill help you?

ok thanks love you see you!

1. THAT MIGHT BE GAS DO NOT START ANY FIRES YOU WILL EXCPLODE
2. idk anything else but I want a wooden duck

[armcollector]

wha
why would there be a GAS MACHINE in a house???
oh fuck lemme turn it off.

[There's a pause in Magnus' response while he tries to fix things so they don't explode. It's during this time Taako blows the gas in the air out of the apartment windows.]

ok you want a duck? i can make you a duck.
i basically already owe you one for helping me out before.
any special requests? a neck that swings open? flappy wings?

[goldpoints]

it's an old way of cooking I think?? like it's supposed to be a small fire but egg smell meands a leak and it's all over and bad idk man we had electric

wtf does a neck that swings open mean that sounds horrifying

[armcollector]

ooook...
i've never heard of it but sure.

you know like
you can put something inside and it'll pop out when you push the head back.
like it barfs it up.
and you can pretend to be a baby duck and let it barf baby food into your mouth.

[goldpoints]

oh!! like pez lol sure that's awesome

[armcollector]

yeah like pez.
so? any requests for your duck?

[goldpoints]

you know what pez is and not a stove wtf?

how about like a mohawk that you push and the mouth opens instead is that a thing that can happen

[armcollector]

yeah, what kind of backwards ass world would not have pez???
but i can definitely manage that for you. i picked up some extra wood from some broken down buildings so i've definitely got enough for a good punk duck.
just give me a few hours.

[goldpoints]

can't argue with that logic

yaaaay punk duck punk duck!! it's not like a rush job or anything tho, you can take as much time as you need

[armcollector]

sure thing.
so you settled in ok? have you run into any friends of yours?
i found my wizard but my cleric is missing and it kinda blows.

[goldpoints]

yeah I've got someone here!! my friend elise arrived when I did

I guess it's kinda good not everyone is stuck here but I'm glad I'm not alone

[armcollector]

that's good!
this place would probably be a thousand times worse if you were alone in it.
plus even though i dont have any of my stuff from home taakos got all his overpowered gear so.
that's good news for us. even if it leaves me at a disadvantage.
but i've never had magic so i'm used to that.

[goldpoints]

oh god yeah it would

that's a bummer on the gear [That she now believes him about, incidentally.] but apparently most magic sucks and is super dangerous anyway don't feel bad!

[armcollector]

well people like taako wield it like its nbd.
i can imagine it probably takes a lot of practice but he can also like, blink into other planes and turn himself into anything and, uh, summon a spectral unicorn.
if we got in a real fight i'd probably be dead meat. he'd just summon hagar's horrible tentacles or whatever and i'd be obliterated by the void or something.

[goldpoints]

ok how is any of that not dangerous

gotta admit tho sounds hard to counter so you tweo probably shouldn't fight

[armcollector]

he basically wakes up and casts true seeing on his coffee for fun.
but yeah i'm not planning on fighting him anytime soon. or ever. he is one of my best friends.

[goldpoints]

wait ok like

so he can see into the coffee void or so the coffee can see true

is this some kind of gazing into the abyss thing or something I don't undersdtand

[armcollector]

no one can really understand taako, ok.
but it's probably so his coffee can see him drink it.

[goldpoints]

ok

[what else can she...really say about that...]

anyway an axe is way more reliable imho

[armcollector]

yeah!!!
who cares if its not as flashy? a real good axe swing can do wonders.
plus my old axe was enchanted so that if i used it to cut down a tree, it could fell it in one swing.
rip railsplitter. gone but not forgotten.

[goldpoints]

holy crap that would have been so useful for like

there was this lodge we had in the forest? and we had to keep going out to gather sticks STICKS for a bunch of stuff and it would still make a lot of noise to chop down a tree but you wouldn't have to chop cghop chop for hours

[armcollector]

well you couldn't do it too often 'cause then it would have to recharge the magic.
also i only really got to do it once to kill a baby tree man and then i felt kind of bad about it???
if i had an extra railsplitter lying around i definitely would give you one but as you know i'm operating on negative one railsplitters.
i'm kind of mad taako got to bring everything including the pocket spa and all i got was my wiener.
colosseum, public. monsters, hungry. pockets, empty. dick, out.
it's just not a good look, i'll be thinking about that for the rest of my life probably.

[goldpoints]

[SHE DIDN'T NEED THIS REMINDER, MAGNUS]

right yeah haha

[ a n y w a y ]

not that you had pockets to be empty. you know maybe the gods here can like

enchant some stuff for you? that's what happens right

[armcollector]

[It's Magnus. It's not usually his own, but when is he not talking about dicks.]

yeah maybe.
i mean i'm not so much looking to be in a god's debt right now unless they can get me railsplitter for real but also someone suggested i just find a good wizardly type to enchant it, and i'd rather depend on like. a people.
i'll just see what i can do with what i got.
i was seriously up to my eyeballs in magic items before, it's gonna take a while to work my way up to where i was before gear-wise. blugh.
fuck, my POCKET WORKSHOP, that was so useful.

[goldpoints]

from what I understanfd they make you pay in feelings first but idk what that rly means

man I want to see a pocket workshop. can't taako enchant stuff with his magic??
