15:55	DawnyWorks	Wondering around outside, Jillian spits out her coffe snuff "I need some tea"

15:58	Mal	The snake hangs off the back of the cart's tarp, swaying lightly in the wind.
15:59	DawnyWorks	Jillian tilts her head and walks closer to it "Oi...snake...what did you say your name was?"
16:00	Mal	"Oh, it's the girl who 'doesn't have time for this'."
16:01	DawnyWorks	Jillian takes a drag off her smoke "If you don't want business fine, I don't care" she turns and takes a few steps back.
16:02	Mal	"'Kay."
16:03	DawnyWorks	Jillian takes a breath "What all can you offer?" she turns to face the snake again
16:04	Mal	"Anything you can name, girly. Hell, think of something really hard. We'll have that, too."
16:05	DawnyWorks	"Any material item?"
16:05	Mal	"Yep." The snake sounds bored.
16:06	DawnyWorks	Jillian nods "Tea?"
16:06	Mal	"Sure."
16:06	DawnyWorks	"Any kind?"
16:07	Mal	"Suuuuuure." Wave, wave.
16:07	DawnyWorks	"Earl Grey?" Jillian takes a few steps closer
16:07	Mal	"Earl Grey, bubble, sencha..."
16:08	DawnyWorks	"And you just...deal in material things and it gets you by?"
16:09	Mal	"Me? No. That's my boss' deal, really. I do...less material things."
16:09	DawnyWorks	"Like?" Jillian takes a drag
16:09	Mal	"Love, knowledge, experience, what. Seriously, name it. We have it."
16:10	DawnyWorks	Jillian looks down and thinks for a bit "Can I get something for someone else?"
16:11	Mal	"...Like a gift? Sure, I guess I could do that."
16:11	DawnyWorks	Jillian nods "And what are the prices?"
16:12	Mal	"Depends on what you're asking here. We don't do flat rates, so to speak."
16:12	DawnyWorks	Jillian chews her lip "What if it's...a person?"
16:13	Mal	"You - you want a person? Uh. Well."
16:14	DawnyWorks	"Someone who's dead...for someone else..."
16:14	Mal	"We *already* offered that to you guys last night, and you all refused."
16:15	DawnyWorks	"Not her...whoever she is...someone else"
16:16	Mal	"Hrm. Hrm-y. I'm listening. Details, girl."
16:17	DawnyWorks	"Some of my friends lost someone...I want to see them happy again...I want them to have their little boy to raise" Jillian looks down
16:20	Mal	"Hm. Well, yes. That's very sad. Going to need some names, here. Names got power, you understand."
16:21	DawnyWorks	"Travis...Travis Tamlin.  Alice and Jason Dodridge's son"
16:22	Mal	The snake somehow manages to make a little impressed whistle sound.
16:22	DawnyWorks	Jillian bites her lip and takes a drag "Can you do that?"
16:27	Mal	"Girl. You have nothing worth trading for /that/."
16:28	DawnyWorks	Jillian looks down "What's it worth?"
16:30	Mal	The snake sighs. "I tell you what. Go get your friends that you're trying to buy for here, and I'll /consider/ it. /Consider/. Otherwise, trading on your own? 'S not gonna cut it."
16:31	DawnyWorks	Jillian nods "Okay" she takes another drag "But, please...think about it"
16:32	Mal	"Alright. Alright. Jeez. You still want that tea?"
16:32	DawnyWorks	Jillian half smiles "How much?"
16:32		*** Ragazzo joined #afteractionmission
16:36	Mal	"Hrm. Eh. Ehhhh. I don't usually do the mundane deals, so how about...let's see...let me see...let me see a couple of your memories."
16:36	DawnyWorks	"What do you mean my memories?"
16:37	Mal	"Nothing much, just a couple brief glimpses into your past. I ain't taking 'em, or anything." He stops swaying. "They're like story books for me, ya see."
16:37		*** Geier is now known as RightsBRB
16:37	DawnyWorks	"Okay...so just...tell you a story?"
16:39	Mal	"Nah, I can handle it. Just, uh...if you're agreed, just stick your hands in that cart and feel around for a canvas bag. Your tea is in there."
16:39	DawnyWorks	Jillian nods and reaches into the cart, feeling for the bag
16:39	Mal	It's there, yo. First thing she touches.
16:40	DawnyWorks	Jillian pulls it out and looks inside. "What did you see?"
16:41		--- Ragazzo is away (Food!)
16:41	Mal	"Nothing yet. We've got to shake hands." He opens his mouth. "Touch my fang, and we're done here."
16:42	DawnyWorks	Jillian pauses and extends a shaky hand and touches the fang.
16:43	Mal	A single drop of purple venom runs down Jill's hand, onto her wrist, where it twists and spirals into a stylized tattoo of a black mamba snake wrapped around a branch. "Awww, right."
16:43	DawnyWorks	"Can you tell me what memories you got?"
16:45	Mal	"Hold on, girl...jeez." Jill feels something...crawling over her skin, even though the snake hasn't moved. A couple memories come to surface - Sitting in the sand with Akane, sleeping with Chris, getting drunk and dancing with Kens that one time...and then the feeling is gone.
16:45	DawnyWorks	Jillian shakes her head "Creepy"
16:46	Mal	"I get that a lot."
16:46		*** Maddy is now known as Maddy_Naps
16:47	DawnyWorks	Jillian smiles softly "Thank you"
16:47	Mal	"Mmhm. I'll be seeing you soon, Jillian."
16:47	DawnyWorks	"You never told me your name"
16:48	Mal	"Lord Malacoda, The Bridge Between Worlds, The Long, Vast, and Subtle. I have another, better name, but that information will cost you."
16:48	DawnyWorks	"What would you like to be called then?"
16:49	Mal	He sighs wearily, the manner suggesting he's done this conversation about a million times before. "Mal. Mal is fine."
16:49	DawnyWorks	Jillian smiles "I'll be back later Mal, thank you for the tea" Jillian takes a drag and heads back to the hospital
16:50	Mal	"So long!" Mal stares at her butt as she leaves.
