[ The interior of a Mac apartment! And Jaime is slumped in a chair, holding what looks like a... solid gold wine bottle, and not looking pleased. ]

I've heard talk of "superpowers" among the imPorts. Perhaps I've found mine. If this is meant to be a blessing, then the gods here play japes just as cruel as the ones I've known in Westeros. [ A wry smile, and he tilts the bottle upside down. Nothing pours out. ] Why, I'd barely even started this bottle.

The banks here will take my coinage gladly enough, do you think they'll take my drink, as well?

[ He peers into the bottle, sighs, and tosses it away with a heavy clunk. ]

It was poor wine, anyway.

[It only kind of counts as messing with his mind if she's human this time, right?

Right.]

I should be glad we didn't shake hands when you first arrived, I guess.

[ hello he'll just be
staring ]

Who are you?

Permavideo;

[gofortheoptics]

You don't recognize me without the mask?

Interesting.

[heavyhanded]

[ well that answers that ]

You'd said you wouldn't show me your face. Although I'll grant you it's less hideous than I'd envisioned, that still makes you a liar.

[gofortheoptics]

This isn't my true face, so I don't think it counts.

[Akjdsf she's not sure what it is about him, but she just wants to be difficult...]

[heavyhanded]

Then there's still potential for a freakish-misshapen face?

[gofortheoptics]

[The most unimpressed face]

No. No, there isn't.

[heavyhanded]

And I'm supposed to take your word, my lady? You're a proven liar.

[gofortheoptics]

I'm a proven lot of things, actually.

Most relevant to this situation, though, is me being a proven very good shot.

[heavyhanded]

You must be good, if you'd shoot me from there. [ where ever "there" is, whatever, just go with it ]

[gofortheoptics]

I'm pretty good, it's true.

I'm sure there are trade shops that will take that wine bottle.

[heavyhanded]

Trade shops? Where might I find them?

[gofortheoptics]

I've never had occasion to use them, but I'm sure you can use your communicator to find one.

[heavyhanded]

It's for messages, it isn't a map. [ JEEZ tali come on now, be sensible ]

[gofortheoptics]

...do you see on your main page, where there's the little white box with a magnifying glass next to it?

Type in 'trade shops' or 'pawn shops'. Just -- humor me, okay?

[heavyhanded]

[ LONGEST... PAUSE... EVER......... typing is slow for medieval dudes with dyslexia and an unfortunate hand-count :( ]

And then?

[gofortheoptics]

[...right. Okay.]

And then click the little magnifying glass. It should bring up some options for you.

[heavyhanded]

[ oh look ANOTHER HUGE PAUSE. and now and then some half-muttered curses. finally: ] And these are... addresses?

[gofortheoptics]

Yes. If you head outside and look up at the street signs, that should be a good place to start.

[heavyhanded]

[ okay well the pause is just thoughtful this time ]

I may get lost. It could be I'll need a guide.

[gofortheoptics]

[...is he implying she should help him find this place.]

We wouldn't want that.

[heavyhanded]

No, not in the slightest. It's a large city. Could be I would starve, all alone out there.

[gofortheoptics]

So, I guess I'm supposed to help you out.

[heavyhanded]

I would appreciate it, my lady.

[gofortheoptics]

Would you really.
