Ah, good evening. I'm more than content with the aforementioned monetary compensation, and don't intend to ask for more. Your continued trust in my abilities is all that is necessary.
I would say you've certainly proven yourself. And simply let me know how you prefer your payment -- cash, check, gold. I'm flexible.
While I have you on the line, though. It seems my previous lawyer has gone missing. Perhaps it's for the best as it now opens up the opportunity for me to ask if you could fill the role?
Excellent. And what of your ability to turn fool's gold into real gold?
I have a source who can make the most realistic illusions, including making things of no value look incredibly valuable. The glamor lasts only a week's time, and a week is certainly long enough for these items to move far enough away from the source. If we could turn those things into real profit while keeping the source protected, I can promise the end result would be incredibly lucrative for you.
Well, who wouldn't want to cash in jewels and gold for actual cash from time to time? Exchanging cash for cash might become a bit harder to explain away, but I'm certain if anyone would be clever enough to come up with a way to persuade your acquaintances, it would be you.
It's true. The idea of exchanging cash out for more legitimate currency really does strike me as overly complex. Thankfully, we do have some advantages over the natives in this regard.
I can certainly come up with what is needed. I'll move the product just as soon as it hits my hands, and we can discuss my cut after the fact.
[Really, the money was just icing on the cake. Dio enjoyed sowing chaos just for the fun of it, and it wasn't as if he wasn't getting something out of the arrangement.]
That sounds fair. My friend can make the financial illusions in whatever form you need, so simply let me know and I shall pass the word along.
[ Especially because there's no friend at all. It's just Baelish's power. ]
I believe you and I would be quite the excellent team, my friend. And perhaps you should consider running for ambassador when I make the move toward mayor? I imagine you and I together would be quite a formidable force for this city.
Gold jewelry would likely work the best. Something that looks older, as if it were gotten as an inheritance after a loved one passed, though really the shape it takes isn't that terribly important as long as it is convincing enough to be sold.
[He paused at that. Ambassador himself, hm? Dio could see the uses of such a position. The power and influence, as well as the connections it would come with.]
I could certainly throw my hat into the political ring. It would be a quite profitable venture for the both of us, I believe.
You've already a gift with words and the charm that would appeal to the masses. With enough time, we could acquire you the base you need. The main reason I did not decide to step down from ambassador while I campaigned was so that I could find my perfect replacement and practically secure the office for them, after all.
Anyone would choose A over B. Only a fool or a man who preferred to overpower a woman rather than seducing them would ever choose B over A. The first woman has an attractive body shape, exposed breasts, soft, pillowy lips, and functioning arms and hands.
She is good not only for physical relations, but also for verbal companionship.
The fish head is horrendous to look at, and the nice legs do not make up for it. Furthermore, you could not hold a conversation with such a creature.
In addition, if stranded along on an island, the woman with a fish tail would be much more effective at catching fish from the surrounding ocean with the ability to make and use tools as well as the propulsion from a finned tail, whereas the other looks ill-suited for life in general.
There is a reason the tales are of beautiful women with fish tails and not the other way around, Enrico.
both, i imagine, i wait, the one who issued me this potentially infernal question has a rebuttal for your answer.
he says you cannot have a child with girl a. actually he simply said childbirth? with what i assume are a large number of question marks given his tone. thoughts?
one moment, my friend, you've ruffled his feathers.
he is yelling something about capitalism, i think what he is trying to convey is that the human imperative to continue life despite opposition is stronger than your logical approach. he says the child's life will be simple, yes, but not unfulfilling.
following the topic of mermaids and fish-women, sent at an ungodly hour for human children
I am unfettered by human imperatives, really, and have been for a long time, but I doubt that even a heterosexual being could put aside such imperatives for want of the other basic necessities. In nature, animals do not reproduce unless there is a suitable environment. To not be able to provide a safe place for your young is as if you are killing them yourselves, and furthermore, you would need to think about the nutritional needs of the mother as well as the child.
To bring a fish person unfit to forage for their own food for purposes of procreation is to condemn yourself and your small family to death. It's that simple.
No, because Triton is named after a son of Poseidon in Greek Mythology. If I am being honest, I would say that the most likely name that his wife would have had is Nereid, considering that Nereids were the name given to sea nymphs from the Aegean Sea.
That, or she could have similarly been named for any number of Earth Deities or Fertility Goddesses. You know how mythology is. A million names for one simple thing.
[ pucci turns on the camera right as odin picks up a fucking lamp and throws it onto the ground, falling on his knees and raising his arms to the heavens. ]
LIFE ISN'T ABOUT THE INEVITABLE TOTALITY OF DEATH, NOR IS IT ABOUT OUR CONSTANT FORWARD MARCH TOWARDS IT! Life is passion. Love! The relationships we find in the chaotic maelstrom of fate's wings! In an ideal world, this deserted island could become a quiet utopia, a paradise, one that can be struck with a steady and comfortable life based on simple farming and forraging! If that were the case - if I, the desperate heterosexual, managed to find reliable albeit occasionally scarce supplies in my Garden of Eden - if I managed to build a life for myself in this isolated world of sun and sand, starting a family would be a natural progression of things! I wouldn't be sentencing that poor child to death! I'd be condemning it, if anything, to the same quiet and calm life I'd have grown accustomed to with my beautiful mute fish-wife! THAT'S HARDLY A SIN. Option A entirely cuts that potential from me! I would give up everything that makes humanity humanity all for some depressing, pessimistic idea that I would never be able to find happiness or health or joy in the world I'd tragically washed ashore of!
[ odin falls to the ground, back to the camera, curled up in a ball. he's sobbing. ]
Why? Why would you do that to yourself? Why burden yourself with this pessimistic, horrid idea that humanity can't thrive in harsh conditions? Why... does your friend not love? Pucci? Answer me, Pucci. Answer me...
You act like you've never seen or have been touched by the movie. It came out in 1989 and had hits like "Under the Sea" and "Kiss the Girl".
Then again, that's to be expected. Mythology is quite difficult and after a while it becomes more fantastical than anything else, plus you were kind of busy around 1989. [ hahhhhh. ]
