[Video] [Wednesday Evening]

[roddy_reinigen]

Yeah, so...um...

[Roddy hesitates, sorting out his thoughts, before he voices what's on his mind.]

I really need a job, I don't care in what, but I'm really good at playing the violin, and if anyone has a rat problem, I can take care of that like...really fast. Anything else within reason, just let me know what you want me to do.

[He's about to turn off the device when he realizes...]

Oh, by the way, my name's Roddy Geiger and I'm new here. So...uh...hi, I guess.

[The voice on the other end of the line is male, accented in a fashion that speaks to something Spanish or Italian but not quite either as a native tongue. It also sounds amused at some private joke.].

Ah, rats. I too have passed the time eliminating pests. Of course, there are far better ways to make money than simply chasing vermin my friend.

[Audio]

[roddy_reinigen]

I'm listening.

[And sounding very interested.]

[Audio]

For one, there are the dinosaurs. Larger, more of a challenge... but there is often a bounty placed on them. The meat and hides fetch a good price too.

But aside from hunting, there is profit for those who can sit quietly with their ears open and pay attention to what they hear. Much like how one might listen to hear the rats, if you take my meaning.

[Audio]

[roddy_reinigen]

I'm very good at listening. I don't have much experience trying to make money off of it, though, so I don't really know who would be willing to pay for what kind of information, or anything like that. Unless you're saying there's something you want me to try and listen for?

And I'd be up for the dinosaur thing, but I have no experience with killing things.

[threesovereigns]

Ah, when you mentioned the rats I misunderstood. My apologies, ser!

In that case, I would advise you to start with smaller and less pointy game before attempting the dinosaurs. Listening may be of more profit to you.

The town has felt some unrest lately. Murders, riots... curfews. There are those who speak at length about how this is an injustice. You may find profit in listening to them, one way or another.

[roddy_reinigen]

I meant literal rats. I'm good at getting them to do what I want.

I'll take a shot at that. I don't know how quickly I'll be able to make anything off of it, but I could get lucky.

[threesovereigns]

And, if you are lurking in bars, you may get lucky. A winning situation all around.

I wish you luck, ser. Do let me know if anything interesting comes to your ears, yes?

[roddy_reinigen]

[Roddy lets out a snort, making it clear that he'd caught that comment, and was at least somewhat amused by it.]

Yeah, I'll make sure to let you know. If I hear something, I mean. I'll probably keep getting lucky to myself.

[threesovereigns]

Oh, don't trouble yourself on my account. Success in lovemaking is a thing to be celebrated!

But... I shall leave you to your hunt, whatever the form may be.

[With that cheerful exhortation, the audio drops.]
