009- LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS... You know the rest.

[uberboned]

Hey, Barge. Did you hear? It's been quiet. Too quiet.

I just thought you all should know that, 'cause I'm sure if someone doesn't say it every ten seconds, it'll lose its effect or something.

[Private to Irene]

Congratulations, princess! You've won a free lesson in humility! I'm sure you're wondering what that means. Well, I'm gonna tell you, but first I gotta ask you one simple question.

How do you feel about food service?

Please note that your answer will not actually affect my decision.

So you didn't do it... for your own reasons?


[Private]

Who asked you? And why?

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Not really, no. Just to help others out...

[Private]
That's confidential at the moment. What happened to you? Surely nothing bad. You got a little more.. attention?

private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

You're the one who did this to me, you must know. ...Unwanted attention, but yes.

Look, there's a choice. Undo this now, or tell me who wanted it. I can hardly get anyone in trouble for this, and don't intend to, I just want to know who... and why.

A young lady asked for it to be done... and it should wear off in a few days. Probably. I don't recall if she gave me her name.

You shouldn't be unhappy though. You're an attractive man and I just made you a little moreso.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...Well, that clears it up. Did she ask to be, um, excluded from it somehow?

It's a little more complicated than that.

private

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Yes, she did.

You don't like the idea of ladies or gentlemen flocking to you?

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Right. When does this wear off?

No, but I don't owe you an explanation.

private

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

Soon, I'm sure.

It was harmless, really.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

I am not angry, if it's not permanent. I just wanted to know what was going off and why.

private

[wandthief.livejournal.com]

No, not permanent at all - unless you'd like it to be. That, I can arrange.

Re: private

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

No, I'll pass.

If you could refrain from using magic on me in the future, that'd be appreciated.

private

As you wish.
