THE BOX OFFICE

[tellthestory]

This is where you can meet privately with the Balladeer! The Balladeer is almost always around during the day; just knock.

(Secretly, the door's usually not locked if he's inside. But you wouldn't want to be rude, would you?)

...You mean that's not? How your motive-thingy works. I mean, there are. Other ways, obviously, but you don't have. Um. Um?

[Hime, please learn how to words.]

[tellthestory]

...could we start this conversation again, please? From the top.

[rockthistown]

Um...

[Hime wrings her hands. Her face starts to go pale.]

You had an, um, announcement today, and there are a lot of ways you could get that kind of thing, and if you already have us then you would have chosen the easiest way, aaaaaaaand if you have no idea what I'm talking about then it's probably not that and I'm sorry to bother you and God is going to lecture me when we get home.

[why this]

[tellthestory]

...is it about one of those magic things? I know a few of you have that going on, but I honestly didn't follow much of the explanations. [He has the grace to look a bit sheepish.] It was a little complicated and that's not really a genre I'm used to.

[rockthistown]

Uh, may...be?

[tellthestory]

...right.

Well, I couldn't really say how they're planning on granting this wish. The whole wish-granting thing is news to me.

[rockthistown]

You mean your boss gives you the motives?

[tellthestory]

I'm not really that interested in goading you all into murder faster.

[He spares a glance up towards the ceiling.]

I mean, not that I'd question their decisions...

[rockthistown]

Okay... [She fidgets with the end of her sleeve.] I. I guess that's all. ...Probably. I think.

[tellthestory]

Oh. Uh, okay.

[This was a weird, abrupt, and brief conversation? But yeah he won't stop you from leaving]
