Yeah, Harley had some still hanging around when I inherited the place and I couldn't tell which did what. There was a gap in the market without you so I asked if anybody could sort them for me, maybe maintain the supply.
Do you want the stock back or something? I'm not looking to take your business, obviously.
no not at all, actually i wanted to know if you had interest in renewing the arrangement
i can keep you stocked like i did for harley, i'd keep the same rates i gave her. i don't see it as rivalry, i was glad to hear the place kept going without her.
Absolutely. I didn't even realize it was an ongoing arrangement, since Harley wasn't much for paperwork. And with how she left the place was a mess... I wouldn't have let it close, tho. She taught me how to tattoo.
But since we're talking business, were you the one who stocked the clinic with healing potions too? A lot of people are hesitant with getting certain piercings cuz of the healing time, it'd be nice to be able to offer them something to speed that up.
That'd be ideal for some customers, yeah. And not just piercings, I've run into it with large tattoos where they want to do it all at once but then have to tap out.
i feel like i was gone a lot longer than i was mostly it's a hangover from some shit that happened at home, it wasn't really a good time to end up back here
it's okay i'll get used to it again thanks, though, i appreciate it
So much, man. It's a really long story how I got there but what did me in was getting kidnapped and held for experimentation. By the time my girlfriend blew my brains out there wasn't anybody home anymore, just a monster. And then the building was demolished as a cover-up. "Explosion in the lab, tragic, blah blah" sort of deal.
I woke up in an arena full of monsters on an alien planet, still infected with the shit I'd died from back home. Spent a few years there fighting their war before making a bargain to be cured. We won. That was pretty cool. Then they offered to send us all wherever we wanted, so my fiance and I were aiming for a friend's since we're both super dead in our home worlds.
No idea where they went, but I wound up here alone. This place is my second universe hopping rodeo.
Dunno. All I've ever heard from people who leave here and come back is that they went home.
I don't know what they'd do with me. In theory I was just in transit? Hope said that if anything went wrong, like we didn't end up where we were trying to go, we should crush the tether and we'd be brought back to their world to try again.
Who knows where I'd go, if they kicked me out of here.
Reality has kinda beaten the optimism out of me at this point, sorry. I appreciate you trying, but the most I can manage these days is rolling with whatever shit gets thrown at me next.
i know that feeling pretty well. it's not easy to keep hoping
giving up isn't good, though. if we do that, then they win. and i might not always have hope, but i definitely have enough pettiness to take some of theirs.
You were here a long time before, right? Do you think they actually control how we come and go? Nobody's ever even been able to say how they're doing it, so I've gotta wonder if they're doing it.

i have an anaesthetic as well, a looks like a potion but you use it like a salve. numbs the area, means it won't hurt while you work
course that's half the point for some people, but that's not everyone

Are you working out of the theater again?
no subject
the theatre part's more in question, but i'm open for business. means my production line is back as well, so i'm her for all your magical needs
no subject
How's it feel being back?
no subject
its weird honestly
a lot's the same but enough is different that it feels a bit wrong
like going back to an old house full of someone else's stuff
not where i thought i'd be.
no subject
You mean if you'd never left? Or just the obvious 'what the fuck' of winding up in a place you didn't know existed?

if that's the case then of course you have something to go back to. your fiance is waiting for you, you can't just give up on that
you have a whole new life to make together, that's huge
