003 [] He won't promise to be faithful, but he has an angel's smile

[trickiernthou]

You know, there's a reason [Dad wiped the dinosaurs out and created you guys out of mud] those creatures were wiped off the face of the planet back home. And I don't remember saving a few--even in one of my pocket dimensions--so you fuck-ups really shouldn't be allowed to mess with time. Or genetics. Either way. You're going to hurt yourselves.

Chopper. My name is Chopper. Being called a type of food just makes things worse.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Oh geez, you certainly know how to push his interest buttons. Thankfully he's already aware of Yuuko's "price" for wishes, so as stupidly excited and gullible as he can be about this offer, he's still a tiny bit wary.]

...what happens after I get my wish? If I even want anything.

[trickiernthou]

Everyone wants something.

Nothing happens. I grant you a wish and that's that.

[bokuwadoctaaa]

W-Well, I guess so, but...

[Thinking about sweets and beams and pirate ships and cotton candy and sweets and robots and cotton candy and home--]

I-I'm a doctor though, so I'm not just going to say yes that easily, e-even if you're thinking of giving me a wish! A-And, I don't really need it anyway! I've got to make sure nothing happens that we can't be prepared for, so you need to tell me what you can do without your chip.

[thiefcat]

[Just. Watches for a second before sighing heavily.]

The reindeer's name is Chopper. [Mutters] I should start making him charge people for taking their chips out.

[trickiernthou]

Chopper. All right, sheesh. I got it.

He's getting something. [If Gabriel has to read his mind just to find something the reindeer wants without all the stuttering. Because he doesn't like owing debts.]

[thiefcat]

If I find out you're taking advantage of him, I'll make sure you regret it.

[trickiernthou]

[He starts to reply snarkily, thinks better of it, and then starts over.] Why would I want to take advantage of a reindeer? I just want my chip removed. And then I'll give him something return. Fair trade.

[trickiernthou]

People in general. You're all the same.

[trickiernthou]

Beg all you want, it doesn't change the fact that all you mortals are basically the same: arrogant, self-righteous, and always seeking something for yourselves, whether it's power, money, or glory. Or all of the above.

Even the goodie-two-shoes do it for their benefit. It makes them feel good.

[trickiernthou]

[Almost snaps none. Stops, considers.] You can have a few for free. Plus all the booze you could ever possibly want.

[trickiernthou]

Uh... at the moment? No.

But next time you're in, you could toss me one of those magically appearing bottles.

[trickiernthou]

I can technically. It's not a profession or anything.

[trickiernthou]

...I am not a faerie, but they do exist. And Djinn, too.
