IC Inbox - Asgard Eventide

[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

OOC: Feel free to comment here if your character wishes to get in touch with Samantha Grey directly. Let us keep any such material to PG-13 or less. If you're interested in something that should be matured tagged, contact me via PM and we can discuss it.

Action

[wasthemaster]

...Utgard. She used to travel every few weeks or so to pick up things. I'll get you a list unless you've something absolutely specific in mind?

Re: Action

[samantha_grey]

There's a couple specific ones. As long as you send me the distributor, I can hash out the rest. That's actually really helpful for me.

[samantha_grey]

Good. Thanks for letting me know, Naruto.

[drinkupmehearties]

[ A grin. ]

Wonderful.

[ Jack'll pick his way back through the cramped aisles of the shop, lingering outside by the door to wait for her to lock up. ]

[samantha_grey]

[She locked at least three locks before joining him down the steps. Even without as much paranoia as she used to have, she still had quite a few locks and other protections up.]

So, did you have a place in mind?

[drinkupmehearties]

[ He nods, indicating the direction. ]

Aye, a nice little nook of place down the block. Not too far.

((OOC: Handwave okay or did you want to log it out?))

[samantha_grey]

Sounds like a plan to me. Lead the way.

(OOC: Handwaving works perfectly. Toss a line if you're up for anything one of these days.)

[drinkupmehearties]

Onwards, then.

((OOC: Will do ♥ samesies for you! Say they chatted awhile, had a few laughs, and Jack passed out from too much rum~?))

[samantha_grey]

(OOC: Precisely. Sam's got a good tolerance. And she's not a heavy drinker, usually.)

Action

[wasthemaster]

I may actually be able to have that to you tomorrow. Soon enough?

Re: Action

[samantha_grey]

Absolutely perfect. Studying a couple of those will give me something to do with my day. Thank you, Draco.

[Loki isn't usually one for tipping people off, but he figures he can do this for a couple of the travellers. Specifically, the ones who weren't too nosy when the little shit posted about the earth giants on the network. Loki remembers very well.]

So how was the roadtrip to the Kingdom of the Dead?

Got some advice for you. Start stocking up. Trade's gonna be slow for a while after the show those two assholes put on.

[The message isn't signed, but she's probably got a good guess who it's from.]

Re: messenger bird

[samantha_grey]

I let others go on it. We had some major irritations here, but we survived. I heard it was about as dead as you'd expect.

I try to keep my stock close, but I'll switch over to a few other contacts as much as I can. Thanks for the heads up.

[Time to dial up Alfheim and hope the damage didn't limit her sources too much.]

[hollowchild]

[a text arrives shortly after jade's post goes up.]

I seem to have just inherited Draco's apothecary.

[samantha_grey]

... fuck.

[Samantha, ever the eloquent one. She'd seen the message too. This wasn't good in her book. Right now, it left her as the sole provider of potions, unless Sophie or someone else picked up a license. Even if she inherited his stock of ingredients, she could only do so much. Hopefully some of the native suppliers could pick up the slack.]

Are you going to be running it, or selling it?

[hollowchild]

I don't know.

[there's a long pause, and she takes a deep breath. jade had practically thrown the shop at her, and she's still reeling from losing one of her first and best friends.]

If nothing else, he kept meticulous records and I've watched him messing about enough that I could likely follow them. So I could try, but last I knew, there's no way for me to get to Utgard for certification to purchase stock.

[samantha_grey]

I can send for the documentation, and I think we can make arrangements through Alfheim. Might take a little bit, but I think that's still doable. It's not like they're cut off from Alfheim too. [She sighed.]

And, even if you don't do potions, regular meds and such are simple enough. You've seen the stock I have here.

...look, I never really asked, but at this point I think it might be a good idea. Do you have his recipe for the sleeping draught?

[hollowchild]

[she laughs a little hopelessly.]

Sam, I have more or less everything. She gave me his dog. I have an idea of where it ought to be, I can copy it for you. Is there anything else you want? Someone should be making these things, people need them.

[samantha_grey]

I'll probably stop by and pick up the recipes for potions he's crafted that I don't have yet. I'll start adding them to the mix, though some stuff will probably be on order only.

[She sighed a little.]

You wouldn't believe it maybe, but that sleeping potion's the one thing people request the most around here.

[hollowchild]

I would completely believe it. The bigger shock would be anyone at all in this city sleeping well.

I'll copy out for you what I don't recognize from Pinch, and you can flip through the rest to see if there are things I missed.

[samantha_grey]

I sleep like a baby. [liar.] I've seen my world almost destroyed more than once now. It's not going to stop me. It's just... unpleasant getting it all back at once.

And thanks. It helps, a lot.

[hollowchild]

[she just gives a little snort of amusement at the bald lie.] That's certainly one way to put it.

Well, it's hardly about business at this point, and you've been more than helpful to me.

[samantha_grey]

Honestly, it's not been about business for a long time. Never really got into business to get rich. It was something to do I knew, and it made me feel useful. Now? It's more about getting ready.

[albuquerque]

A word, Miss Grey, if I may.

[samantha_grey]

[She does get back to him, but between a task the Strike Team took on, the fighting and her monthly session with agony from her runic array, replies were understandably sporatic.]

So, you're alive and back. Shoot, what do you need?
