[ SUSPICIOUS SQUINT AT NOTIFICATION. ]

[ SUSPICIOUS SQUINT AT OTHER GUY. ]

[ ... He looks okay for now... ]

... Call me Myny. What's your name?

[wayofthehunt]

Serge, of Sun Sign.

[He doesn't know it, but Serge introducing himself in such a plain straightforward way is unusual.]

[hathasacat]

[ Okay he's cooperative, Hymn can work with cooperative. ]

Right, then the submission should be nice and quick.

[ Let's not talk about the sacrifice part yet- ]

[wayofthehunt]

Aiming for the speedy resolution?

[hathasacat]

I'd rather not linger around with this sort of thing.

[wayofthehunt]

Oh? I suppose there is a time limit in place! Do you prefer a contest, Monsieur Myny? Or would you like to come to an agreement?

[hathasacat]

Contest- why would there be a contest!

[wayofthehunt]

Well, some people believe more in their prowess in battle than in their skills of diplomacy. I am happy to do either.

[hathasacat]

I'm not a fighter by a long shot- and that's not an invitation.

[wayofthehunt]

There are also contests of luck? [Gestures to the emergency potions]

[hathasacat]

[ Glances over. ]

... Are you trying to drug me?

[wayofthehunt]

If we were to go with that option I believe it would be more equitable for us to each drug ourselves!

[hathasacat]

How about no drugs!

[wayofthehunt]

Very well! Then all that is left is to lay out our intentions and come to an understanding!

[hathasacat]

Okay, I'd personally like to put in the minimal effort because I hate the idea of sacrificing meaningfully large items or parts or whatever of myself.

[wayofthehunt]

Oh? Certainly, it can be difficult to give parts of yourself away! Do you wish to keep all of yourself and discover what Monsieur Producer means by ‘???’ or give a small piece you will miss for five days? We can certainly find creative sacrifices if needed! For example, giving up one’s sense of grace for a week.

[hathasacat]

Or my winning sense of sarcasm?

[wayofthehunt]

If you value it enough!

[hathasacat]

I think it's one of my better assets.

[wayofthehunt]

I shall have to come up with a suitable equivalent for myself, then. Did you wish to enter first?

[hathasacat]

Sure.

[ None trust, but inputting his name. And trying to hide that he's putting in 'Hymn' instead of 'Myny'. ]

[wayofthehunt]

[too bad he's so much taller]

[hathasacat]

... Do you have to loom?

[wayofthehunt]

Oh? It isn't my intention to. I am just curious what you're inputting.

[hathasacat]

Just you know basic info.

[ And failing the captcha in the process. ]

[wayofthehunt]

I see! Do you need help?

[reaching without asking to try and do the captcha for him]

[hathasacat]

Hey-!

[ Pushing at STUPID LONG ARMS. ]

[wayofthehunt]

[also failing captcha, predictably]

[hathasacat]

Color me impressed.

[wayofthehunt]

[hathasacat]

[ Slapping away his hand. ]

I got this.

[ He did not get this. ]

[wayofthehunt]

[It’s ok Serge ignored the slap and got it this time. Your name is submitted 👍]

[hathasacat]

Thanks.

[ Time for Family name then, and another captcha fail. ]

[wayofthehunt]

These are trickier than expected…

[hathasacat]

If they wanted us angry, it's working.

[wayofthehunt]

[tap tap--fail]

[hathasacat]

... Really well.

[ Reaching to type- success! ]

HAH-!

[wayofthehunt]

Ah! Now the moment of truth!

[hathasacat]

[ Putting in his 'sense of sarcasm' for his, and succeeding in the last captcha. ]

Oh now it stops being fussy.

[wayofthehunt]

Hehe, perhaps a few failures was enough to learn how to succeed.

[OK PUTTING IN HIS STUFF!! Name, success! Family, two failures and a success! Sacrifice, a failure and a success. Will be giving up "The concept of walking"]

[hathasacat]

[ Leaning to be nosy since he was. ]

That's an interesting one.

[wayofthehunt]

What better way is there to appreciate something every-day than by looking at it with fresh eyes?

[hathasacat]

I guess so? It does help having extra eyes in most matters.
