they sigh, and then move to hop up to sit on the front desk, kicking their feet against the side of it.]
Haven't really gotten to make a lot of deals yet, but yeah, I like good ones. I like stuff that's a little flashy. Stuff that's creative. Wanna reward that. [ they kick their heels against the desk again. ] Also like a little good natured chaos.
they continue to kick at the desk. ] Iunno, that's not my job to come up with! I guess something like requesting that the staircase turn to a slide at random hours of the day could aid and abet someone doing a ridiculous murder.
[ they let jason be as mean as he wants, unbothered. ]
I'm not really a big fan of murder altogether.
[ and then they sigh. ]
That's the point, Todd.
It's the best example I can give you. Every single deal you come up with or ask for has to fit into the spirit of this place. Whether you want it to, or not, it has to.
[Hmmm. The tail whips across the air a little. He puts both hands on his hips, mostly because they are clawed and what the heck does he do with them.]
Weird you're not a fan of murder in a hotel owned by someone who very much is a fan of murder. You accepted the job, didn't you? What, Nightman didn't disclose all of the conditions to you? Funny how that works.
[ they kick their heels against the desk. ] Sometimes, who we are means we have duties to do. Sometimes those duties determine what you can and can't do, in a number of ways. Not an unfamiliar conversation, yeah?
And you can. Or don't! You're not really limited by my personal preference, or anyone else's. We all do our jobs. Whatever you ask for, it's all about how you sell it to the hotel's main function of entertainment.
I'm just making sure I'm selling what I want to the right buyer is all. We tell you what we want, but you all have specialties. Like your jobs. Yeah? No point in trying to hand you a deal about following the rules when you like a little chaos.
[ if you compare aquila to the joker i'm flying to your house to kill you. this mod, personally.
they stop kicking at least: ]
...I have a feeling your kind of bastard and my kind of bastard are very, very, very different.
You could call your thing you do chaos for a good cause, couldn't you? It's not exactly following the rules. You're still keeping order, in one way or another. That's my kind of bastard.

It's more I don't plan to make a second deal with just anyone. Or for just anything. What kind of deal are you looking for?
no subject
[ they laugh - their wings flutter a bit, and then tuck back in at their back. ] You made a big damn hero one with Aquarius, didn't you?
no subject
Stop being nosy. It wasn't a hero deal. I'm doing my job while also getting a chance to guarantee who I'm here for.
no subject
I didn't say it was a bad deal. [ amused... ] And I'll stop being nosy when you stop being nosy.
no subject
Not a chance. [It sounds like he concedes Aquila being nosy really.] If it’s not a bad deal, you like deals like that?
no subject
anyway they are giving him such a look under the veil even if you can't see it. you can feel it. ]
Sure, yeah. Fuck, you are really dedicated to this shopping around thing.
no subject
[A bit of a shrug.]
You guys question our reasons, so why shouldn't we question yours?
no subject
[ gross?

He watches them get on the desk, tail swaying a little more. He thinks about what he's given in some considering silence.]
I could maybe get behind that. But how is good natured chaos going to fit in the murder mold exactly?
no subject

no subject
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Funny, but you realize someone is still dying, right? You a fan of the Sunday snuff films?
[He is being a little mean. He sighs and closes his eyes a second.]
Fine. I’ll bite. I’ll think about it. Me and fun and games and laughs with people lives have a real bad history.

Iunno. I think order and chaos go together, sometimes. Just depends on how you handle it.

[The way he says this is like he's wanting Aquila to tell him whether or not they are going to get along.]

Heh. A vigilante?

Something like that.

Does that give you a better idea of what I like, then?
