We'll see. I've been in a city before a war; it takes a little longer than you'd think. Though I worry at the similarities from then and now.

I may have a job for you once you come up as well, if you're interested in making a few extra silver.

[punshots]

[ It taking longer isn't all that reassuring if that still means it's going to happen at all. She's not the only one who's been in a city before a war.

But as to not dwell on that - ]

oh really?
what sort of job are we talking here?



this isnt going to involve Ardyn this time is it

[originallutece]

It does not, no. And that was a favor, not a job.

I have a few jobs, but the one I'm most interested in . . . you'd be eating something, and I'd be recording your response.

[punshots]

okay so you want me to be your guinea pig
not sure if i should be flattered or offended
what kind of somethings are we talking here?

[originallutece]

Hallucinogens, primarily.

[punshots]

wait
are you serious???
i thought you meant like
sick to your stomach
what sorts of things are you cooking up Ros????

[originallutece]

Nothing. I've been hired to deliver a package of "cookies" from a rather notorious bakery. I believe I've dealt with them before, and I'd like to test their products to see what happens.

[punshots]

ok
that sounds sketchy as hell
but ok
so why dont you try them yourself?

[originallutece]

I can't very well accurately observe myself if I'm mentally incapacitated.

[punshots]

soooooo you want me to mentally incapacitate myself
voluntarily

[originallutece]

For about an hour or so, yes.

[punshots]

youre not doing a great job at selling this you know

[originallutece]

It's a job offer, not an invitation to an ice cream social.

[punshots]

you couldnt pay me to get high and tell you what kind of crazy shit i see









how much are we talking here

[originallutece]

Twenty-five silver.

[punshots]

seriously??
that wont even cover a dinner date!



how badly do you need my help?

[originallutece]

That's more compensation than you'd get elsewhere.

I'd greatly appreciate it, Prompto.

[It's not vital, but . . . she wants to get this done . . .]

[punshots]

okay well
let me think it over and get back to you
is that okay?

[originallutece]

Yes. Though I'd appreciate an answer within 24 hours.

[There's a little pause, and then:]

I see lying to Ardyn didn't turn out as hoped.

[punshots]

yeah ive been meaning to apologize for that
im sorry i totally ruined your shot at winning your bet
maybe i can make it up to you by taking on this job?

[originallutece]

[There's a little pause.]

It was a gambit, nothing more or less. I knew the risks going in.

If you'd like to serve as volunteer, I'd be grateful. But you hardly have to regard it as apology.

[punshots]

but i did let you down
after all that training too!
okay
ill do your testing
but only if you promise that youll write me a nice eulogy if i die

[originallutece]

It's a hallucinogen, not a stimulant. You'll be fine.

[. . .]

We'll talk about the bet later, if you want. But don't imagine you let me down.

[punshots]

[ But he did let her down... ]

okay sounds like a square deal to me!
let me know when i should come by for the uh
drug testing

[originallutece]

Whenever you're free. Ideally as soon as possible, but I'm aware you live in another city.
