Name: Howl (un: galdorleod)
Date: Aereuer 1st
Format: text

My bonded is gone. Part of the recent exodus home that myself, and those reading this, have not had the luck to be selected for thus far.

So, I am in need of a new bond. My name is Howl; I own a wizard's practice and pawnshop in the Entertainment District called Pendragon's. I have been in Aefenglom for almost a year and I prepare and perform numerous spells and potions per day.

I need a Monster (or Monsters) who can help with cycling large amounts of magic on the regular. I may be willing to offer compensation in some form, depending on the compatibility of our Bond and how effectively we work together. Respond to this message if interested.

I have a second inquiry as well; another opportunity for those ambitious and interested. I am seeking a Mirrorbound whom I have not spoken to in months and may no longer be among us. From what I remember, his name was "Crowley" and he claimed to be a demon expert or somesuch in his world. If you know how I can contact him or his address, please respond to this message.

A demon expert?

[ Close to the mark, but not... the absolute worst thing Howl could have said he supposes. ]

[galdorleod]

Yes. Have you heard of him?

[sparkofgoodness]

Depends. What do you need him for?

[ Not that he remembers owing Howl any money or particularly large favours, but on the off chance the answer is 'I want to kill him' he may as well show a little caution. ]

[galdorleod]

[ ...

this person is awfully guarded about Crowley despite supposedly not being him. ]

I bear no ill will towards him. Rather... I'm hoping he can help me with something very important. I can pay.

( he was going to offer apologies for the loss of Howl's bonded, but, um... that last part??? after what happened in Pendragon's? )

what are you planning?

[galdorleod]

Pardon? What are you talking about?

[ why would he tell u ]

[Having not heard from his own Bonded in so long, fears lingering at the edges of his mind, Jin Guangyao contemplates the message for a long while before sending it with some due consideration.]

Even if one considered a Bond a business relationship of a sort, I can hardly think anyone with good intentions could accept compensation. After all, it is an unfortunately necessary part of our existence here, wouldn't you say?

[galdorleod]

Yes. However, I am in need to particularly effective Bonds, and quickly. If compensation entices anyone to come forward and try who otherwise wouldn't, then it's worth it.

[turmoiling]

I have found myself in a difficult position as well of late. My name is Jin Guangyao; I conduct a small amount of trade with the Underground, as well as serve on the Mirrorbound Council.

So long as it was only a matter of meeting mutual necessities... well, I would be open to the possibility of a Bond.

[galdorleod]

You truly would not accept any additional compensation? I would genuinely be happy to provide it, especially to a Coucilman.

In either case, it seems we ought to meet to discuss whether a Bond between us could be beneficial. My shop opens at 4 pm; please drop by at your convenience.

[omnicrafter]

You know, I was serious when I asked you if you wanted to bond. Unless you're just purposely leaving me in suspense?

[galdorleod]

I'm sorry. Who is this?

[ Howl doesn't recognize usernames. ]

[omnicrafter]

Apologies, this is Irhya. Remember me?

[galdorleod]

The cat-eared vampire who had her beautiful sunstone's rune powered for proper use in Geardagas? Names are one thing, but how could I forget a woman so lovely?

I didn't realize you were that serious. And you're saying you still are?

[ Irhya do you know what kind of fuckboi you are unleashing upon yourself ]

[bloodwit]

If you and the potential Bonded work effectively enough together, then I would think the Bond itself would be enough compensation.

[galdorleod]

As would I. However, I am in need of new Bonds now. I don't have to browse the personal ads.

Interested by chance, Lord Viren?

[bloodwit]

Perhaps.

[ wow, playing hard to get, are we. ]

If you truly would cycle large amounts of magic, I would be able to help. But I don't wish to be apart of something unproductive.

[galdorleod]

You've been to my establishment before. Did it appear unproductive to you?

[lightblooming]

If no one's offered help to you -- I have room for another bond. I know what it's like not to be bonded to someone.

[galdorleod]

I was able to find the help I needed. If you need to find a Bond, however, I can help you find someone.

[lightblooming]

Thank you, but... I was able to find someone. It seems like the network is a good place to reach out. I was able to find my bond through someone else doing just what you did.

[torchwoodteaboy]

I'm sorry. The recent exodus home, you said?

[Being that Ianto has only just gotten here, this does sound promising.]

[galdorleod]

Just a few months ago, there were many more Mirrorbound than there are now. As far as I know, there's no explanation for why so many of us returned home, while a select few remain.

[torchwoodteaboy]

[Ianto can read between the lines that there might be some sensitivity there, so he tries to tread lightly.]

And this included both those who were bound to others and those who were not. There has been no correlation between the lot of them?

[He cannot help wanting to dig in and solve the mystery, if there is one to be had...]

[galdorleod]

If there is, I haven't the slightest idea what it would be. Nor am I the right person to ask, if a correlation could be gleamed. The mirrors have never acted according to any pattern or set of principles in the ten months I have been here, as far as I know.
