Isn't it the thought that counts?

[lonelydream]

Thats what a cat that brought home a dead animal would say.

[wifedup]

It's not a dead animal.

It could probably come from a dead animal, I don't know. It's not something I recognise. But I think it's a poison? I could lick it and find out but I didn't think you'd like that. Anyway, it might be useful.

( Maybe. )

[lonelydream]

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to praise you for not tasting the poison. Bring it home, Lao Wen. I'll see if I recognize it. And reward you.

[wifedup]

I don't think it would kill me if it were. I might not be a master poisoner, but there's certainly been enough slipped into my wine over the years. I have a tolerance!

( Most of the ghosts who wanted him dead eventually learned that he was a slippery bastard anyway. All of them are dead now. )

What will you give me? In the interest of inspiring me.

[lonelydream]

Let's not test your tolerance and leave it to the one who is a master at it, hm? Your reward will depend entirely on just what it is you bring home.

[wifedup]

( Wow. Please imagine the pout. )

Points should be rewarded for effort at least!

[lonelydream]

There will be definite points for effort.

[wifedup]

Oh, there's a point system now. How hard do I have to work to get something exciting?

[lonelydream]

Bring me what you've found, Lao Wen.
