I'm afraid the only ways I know to make quality alcohol are the old-fashioned way.

Well, and a little moonshine, but that's hardly quality.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

[stupidmammon]

If I were closer to bein' that desperate, i'd take you up on that offer. Hypothetically that is.

But my taste is a bit more classy right now.

[ Classy, as if thats possible when he wants to get absolutely drunk. ]

[lonelysmiles]

Am I to assume that you actually have acquired some liquor?

[Too bad he doesn't have his conjuration powers here. He could whip up a whole bar in a matter of moments.]

[stupidmammon]

I miiiiight have. And it's the good stuff too.

[lonelysmiles]

How fortunate! This place is drier than Prohibition!

[Seriously, one bottle of alcohol in the whole town. And knowing Mammon, it'll cost an arm and a leg for a glass.]

[stupidmammon]

Right?? Like I didn't realize just how much I missed it until it appeared at my bedside. I'm really hopin' someone knows how to replicate it.

[Ferran takes a look at this post, which is practically tailor-made for his particular magic, and initially decides, nah.

But then he gets to thinking, and picks his journal back up.]

What's it worth to you?

[Let's be real, there are no hypotheticals here.]

[stupidmammon]

[ Yeaaaah, he really should have expected a reply like this. It's something he would do as well if he had the chance to. It's like he's talking to himself here, and he hates it.

But also? he respects it. ]

Alright Alright, I know how these things go. Ya want somethin' in return dontcha

[noblegarnet]

Obviously. You're asking for someone to use time and effort on something that could be spent elsewhere.

[Ferran is a generous soul... but mostly for his friends, or for the essentials. His time as a Fae taught him to appreciate a good deal.]

So what do you have to offer?

[lonelysmiles]

If I had my full powers, I probably could have done it, but that isn't the case I'm afraid.

Good luck in finding a brewer!

[stupidmammon]

If ya want cash, I'm completely out of luck because I ain't got a single coin that could be used.

[ But... this place was full of people needing help with this and that, right? ]

But what I can offer ya are my services~ I'm somethin' of a jack of all trades as they call it.

[stupidmammon]

Ya want in if I find someone?

[noblegarnet]

I wouldn't be interested in money, anyway.

[Being a magical 3D printer makes that kind of thing moot.]

Services I might take. Even a jack of all trades has his specialties, though. Care to share?

[lonelysmiles]

Oh absolutely but I don't expect it'll be free. You can't get something for nothing, after all, and right now you've got one of the rarest commodities in this town!

[stupidmammon]

I'm pretty good with a sleight of hands~ but if you're looking for a little more practicality, I'm strong, I'm fast, an' I can buff up your own powers.

[noblegarnet]

[Hmm, so he's good for fighting. Too bad Ferran tries to avoid that whenever possible. Sleight of hand, though...]

Are we talking pickpocketing or card tricks?

[stupidmammon]

You really think I'm that type of demon, Alastor~?

[lonelysmiles]

Alcohol's a luxury item. Anybody would be looking to get something in return for sharing it.

[stupidmammon]

Mmm, both actually. Though to reassure you, I'm not really the type to steal from like people who ain't deserve it.

[stupidmammon]

Oh really?? I had no idea~?

[ Someone's playing coy. ]

[lonelysmiles]

So what would be your price, O Avatar of Greed?

[stupidmammon]

What's your offer?

[lonelysmiles]

I can cook. Perhaps I can interest you in a meal.

Or perhaps some more magic practice?

[noblegarnet]

I met my best friend when he tried to steal from me, so I'm the last person you need to reassure.

[Thievery is an easy problem to solve, for the most part, and it's much lower on Ferran's list of priorities to stop.]

How do you feel about teaching me a thing or two?

[stupidmammon]

Ya know what? Throw in a meal for Satan as well an' you have yourself a deal.
