[Nat has been spending a lot of time holed up by herself. She looks a little bedraggled, but excited.]

Hey, hey. I have most of the parts I need to make something special. Now I just need some crystals. [Now Nat makes a face. She doesn't like to have to ask this.] There's some that could do under the mountain in Vegas, but I kind of expect if I go alone my evil clone will come? She might anyway. She's, uh... the powers I'm getting are stronger if you're nasty and violent, which sucks. Help me out?

What is it you're making, and what is your name? We haven't been introduced.

[alderaanda]

Something special. I don't want to leak details until I know it'll work.

I'm Nat. You uh... I saw you around the teleporter that time I used it.

[dead_black_eyes]

Fair enough.

I'm sorry we missed the chance for a proper introduction. It's been busy, which I hope you understand. I'm Lazarus Lawliet.

[alderaanda]

Cool. So. Something you wanted?

[dead_black_eyes]

No, not particularly. I'm just of the opinion that we should all know each other, at least a little bit, so I make an effort to speak to everyone at least once. Call it my small and occasionally practical compulsion.

[alderaanda]

Sounds like you want to be a resource broker, with Numbered skills as the resources. How's that been working out?

[dead_black_eyes]

Some beneficial connections have been made, if that's what you're asking. Not all to my credit, but I like to think that I helped a bit.

[alderaanda]

Cool.

I have a danger sense and some telekinesis, but I don't think I should be too open about the rest.

[dead_black_eyes]

"Danger sense?" I understand about not wanting to disclose everything, but can you elaborate more on that?

[oncedevil]

The mountain in Vegas, huh? Haven't been there myself, but if you need a body guard I'm not particularly busy right now.

[alderaanda]

Hey, Tony.

How are you about being grabbed by the neck? Like... at a distance. With telekinesis. [an annoyed sigh] She's made travel so difficult.

[oncedevil]

How are you doing? I heard you ran into a rough spot, same person?

Huh... not a fan, have to admit, but I think I can manage. Got a trick or two up my sleeve.

[Or a Trick-ster as you will.]

[alderaanda]

Little bit. She's around... waiting. Planning, if she's smart.

Or you could go there and bring me some back. She's like fixed on me, not my friends unless they're right there.

[oncedevil]

She's out to be rid of you, then?

[He frowns, with Feivel being his brother that makes Nat an unofficial sister, and that really can't be left to stand for too long. Even if she can handle herself.]

I could, but I wouldn't know what the hell I'm looking for or where to go.

[alderaanda]

Think so. Probably a dark side thing. It always screws up your head.

I could tell you the doors. I'm looking for... well, gems. Crystals. I'd been there once, and she's been there, but I didn't think I needed them then.

[oncedevil]

Greaaat... dark side thing?

[Weird, okay.]

Alright, do that. If you can sketch me a map that'd be easier, I'm pretty good at finding my way around. So, she was probably collecting them for whatever it is you need 'em for?

[alderaanda]

When you have powers like these it's dangerous to be angry too much. Warps your head.

No - well, I don't think so. She picked up some gold since it's so heavy and soft, and I don't know maybe she sold some too. But I'm after crystals and gems. She doesn't have the parts I have so she can't use those.

[oncedevil]

Huh... what kind of powers, it sounds familiar.

[Are they like demons?]

Any kind in particular or will whatever do?

[ruleorserve]

Does it need to be any particular sort of crystal?

[alderaanda]

Um... no, not really. People've even used pearls. Bits of glass are probably a bad idea, though.

[ruleorserve]

Unfortunately, I can't say I have any pearls. If you have trouble with the mountain, however, I might manage to find something to spare.

[alderaanda]

Sure, thanks! The mountain ones are free. It's dangerous for me to go out there, but Tony's going.

[ruleorserve]

I'm glad to hear someone's going with you. And I wish you luck in the search.

[alderaanda]

Thanks. This thing is important - I want to finish it before anything else happens.

[ruleorserve]

Quite understandable. Best to be prepared, yes?
