Objective: TBA
Target: TBA
(Shoeshine) **slightly raspy** What are you doing?
Keeping a log of this contract to save on paper and not get screwed over. What am I hunting? Do you want them dead or alive? Alive costs extra.
(Shoeshine) **slightly raspy** Well, you are looking for our daughter...adoptive daughter. Her name is Static Spark. We want her alive.
Hmmm, I hate runaway retention. That will cost extra for the annoyance, but doable.
(Sundae) **very raspy** She’s a ghoul, not like us, regular kind. Earth pony. She looks like a young filly, but is 225-years-old.
Are you're sure she ran away? 225 sounds like an adult to me. Maybe she just left.
(Shoeshine) **slightly raspy** She was asleep for most of that time, she’s basically a 15-year-old. Not old enough to be out on her own.
Any clue where she might be?
(Shoeshine) **slightly raspy**sigh** My sister said she saw her heading to New Appleoosa last night.
So one of you saw her and didn’t stop her?
(Screwloose) **incredibly raspy** Hey, she whammied me! Be happy I saw her at all.
Whammied?
(Shoeshine) **slightly raspy** Static Spark has a special power. She can control illusions. Typically channeled through an adult, ghoul, unicorn, apparition she calls Aglow. Looks like a glowing ghoul, but is not really there. She can lock almost anyone into a waking nightmare if she can see you.
I hate magic anomalies, that will also be extra...and I want half upfront. 387 caps up front, 774 total. Deal?
(Shoeshine) **slightly raspy** That’s quite a bit.
Well my fee for this meeting is 37 caps, standard rate is 50 caps a day. New Appleoosa is not that far away, should only take 1 and a half days, but I round up to the nearest full day. Then its 100 extra for it being a runaway, 100 for bringing them back alive, and 100 for her magic peculiarity. It takes longer, I’ll bill you upon my return.
(Sundae) **very raspy** Well then, Mr. Scar-barrow, I say it's a deal.
(Shoeshine) **slightly raspy** Just bring her back.
I will, I have not failed a job. Ever.
