[sigh, but doesn't pursue it, heading into the shower]

There's bandages in my room if you want them. Though I think you should skip.

[originalhipster]

I'll see if it's necessary.

[mostly I am going to go rummage around your room for clean clothes I can steal liberate back to their rightful owner, the king]

[ticking]

[i do tend to keep a large stash of clean clothes since i pretty much constantly destroy whatever i am wearing. your options are cotton shirts and pants in cream colors or leather pants and... that's it. okay fashion has not been a concern.

there is also wine if you WANT TO RISK IT]

[originalhipster]

[I have never once in my life said no to leather pants. Steals them and one of the shirts then finds bandages. I think most of the shallow cuts have probably scabbed over by now :|a any that are still bleeding he presses on and then only bandages the visible things, like his wrist and neck though hopefully this shirt also has a collarrrr.

After that, you know what, I think I will look around your room to see if you have any more poison hanging around. Because that is a good thing to know one way or another.]

[ticking]

[i hope you realize the idea of wearing a fully buttoned up collar is pretty hilarious. but yes it's there.

And well there are two strings of small colorful vials in a pile of stuff somewhere.

Though that's also about the time Slick is coming back in]

[originalhipster]

[I'm not wearing it buttoned but the collar will likely hide some of the bandageeee. Glances back at Slick, holding up the vials. NO SHAME WHATSOEVER.]

Oh, is this what you used?

[ticking]

[looking you over, obviously disappoint. SIGH]

One of those, yes.

[originalhipster]

[I am fairly sure I make these look super hot, clearly you have no taste. Examining the bottles.]

Hmmm ... do they all do the same thing?

[ticking]

[yes yes but also you looked much hotter naked and covered in the wounds i gave you and now you've covered them all up]

No. And I don't know what any of them do, since you won't even tell me what happened to your double.

[hmm goes to find cigarettes and lighter]

[originalhipster]

Maybe you should ask nicely.

[ticking]

Maybe I'll ask him nicely.

[lights up!]

Since I'm still alive after your visit I'm sure he'll be interested in seeing me anyway.

[originalhipster]

[oh yes, that. laughs.]

You should apologise to him, you know.

[ticking]

I will. It was just in fun anyway. And I promised Misty I would send him to visit her.

[originalhipster]

If you're appropriately humble about the matter I'm sure that he won't mind that you still live. If he does, he can correct it himself.

[ticking]

He seems to hear humility a lot from me. [snort] Are you done protecting him then?

[originalhipster]

No, but I've developed a different interest in you.

[ticking]

Oh? What is it now? You saw what you wanted, didn't you?

[originalhipster]

Hmmm. There's a question, I think.

[ticking]

A question...?

[originalhipster]

Mhm. I have no interest in an immediate answer, though, you'll have to think it over.

[ticking]

If you don't tell me the question it might be a very long wait for an answer.

[originalhipster]

Very true.

[steps into Slick's personal space.]

You. And that crack in you. I'm interested in seeing where you go. Do you want to make a contract with me?

[ticking]

[i am super okay with you in my personal space

but also confused]

A contract? What sort?

[originalhipster]

It's simple enough. I am a Heroic Spirit, a servant summoned from the past to fight the battles of mortals. The contract works as follows. Your position would be to provide power and usually strategy . . . in return, you will be able to alter my path no less than three times. [holds up three fingers] Three absolute commands where your will can supersede my own.

Other Heroic Spirits tend to be more obedient to their masters at other times, but . . . [chuckle] my class doesn't tend toward that. How dull. But a contract is a contract. We could try to work together.

[ticking]

[=|aaa processssinnng was not expecting]

Hm... so basically you want a power boost from me and in exchange you'll risk that I might force you to do something... [handwave] unkingly?
