Mmm, yes. Quite pitiable. It's almost adorable, even.

[ Ah, to want and yearn for something, reaching out so desperately for it only to realize that it's only just slipped out of your grasp... When you've fallen so far, plummeted so deep into despair, wouldn't it be easier to just

let go, and let someone else handle all those scary things for you? ]

[ohrlyeh]

[lady what is your problem]

If that's what you think...

[M eh]

People who are desperate are...troublesome. And irritating.

[ninedrive]

They can be. A cornered animal lashes out, after all. It can't help but to. But if you help them past that desperation you might get something much more agreeable. Easier to work with, at least.

So this Fitzgerald asked you to help, and you agreed? What did you get out of this deal?

[ohrlyeh]

Yes, I agreed, and...

[...]


[...................]

I don't...remember.

[ninedrive]

You know, that sounds like the kind of contract you should back out of.

[ohrlyeh]

I can't.

[An impossible endeavor.]

Once agreed, I have to...carry out the job.

[ninedrive]

So you're bound to this contractor of yours until he gets this book? Is there at least a 'or dies trying' clause in there?

[ohrlyeh]

Of course. Why wouldn't there be.

[HE'S NOT THAT MUCH OF AN AMATEUR]

[ninedrive]

So you could, in theory, get your contractor killed to get out of it?

[ohrlyeh]

I wish.

[THAT WOULD BE FUCKING NICE]

What about you? Could you kill...your contractor?

[ninedrive]

In theory I could, I suppose. But you know, I'm a woman of my word! Backing out on a contract I wrote up and agreed to just isn't a good look, you know?

I just don't make those kinds of bad deals in the first place, haha. ♡

[ she has never ever in her life made a bad deal trust ]

[FROWNING...DON'T RUB IT IN]

Good for you. [...] What do you even...get out of them...anyways?
