"Er... yes, okay, I suppose I should tell you that if you're trying to reach me I'm not here, and if you're trying to reach me because you want to do something involving pointy bits of metal or otherwise painful objects, I'm never going to be here. So sorry."

Comments

[wizzardly]

Less than an hour I'd think, if the building isn't too large. Sabriel is most known for offering them but there are others.

[jacksonian]

Who else?

[wizzardly]

a person named Billy. Someone else as well, but I would have to ask their permission.
I wouldn't want to do that without knowing your name first.

[jacksonian]

[ It would help if I knew my own name. ]

I helped you with a certain financial question.

[wizzardly]

Oh! Okay

[which doesn't begin to cover all the questions that come up at that. The man who looks like Miles - gods, of course Lucifer would find that useful, the poor bastard.]

Is that what you'd prefer? My person over Billy or Sabriel?

[jacksonian]

[ It's probably a bad idea. After all, Lucifer knows Rincewind. Lucifer can track down Rincewind and get information from him. But his options are either to get help from this man, who understands, or have to explain himself to someone else. Yes, they'd only been kind to me, and yes, I stabbed them in the back - ]

Yeah. I can pay you.

[wizzardly]

you may not have to, but I'll mention it.

[April could be... capricious. Which was fairly standard for witches anyway.]

Just tell me what city the building would be in so I can pass it on. I'll text you as soon as I have an answer.

[jacksonian]

Maurtia Falls. And this needs to stay discreet. Obviously. I don't want Miles and his people figuring out where I am.

[wizzardly]

Obviously. Keep yourself safe for now, I'll let you know soon.

[jacksonian]

[ It's a struggle to type this, just because he's not used to saying this: ]

Thanks.

[wizzardly]

[and an hour later:]

They agreed. Do you want to just send the address?

[jacksonian]

Yeah. I'll text it. It needs to be soon. Things are happening fast.

[wizzardly]

[oh that doesn't make him feel incredibly anxious.]

okay yes I'll convince her to go today.
Her name is April Ludgate. She'd rather that whatever you would have paid her you just invest for her instead.
I know I probably don't have to tell you, but if either of our names come up in connection to this later I'll be

[well, 'maimed' probably.]

upset

[jacksonian]

I'll give you a broker's fee, too, for finding her.

And yeah. Though if Lucifer finds me, I can't guarantee anything. So make the wards strong and don't tell him about me. Do we have a Deal?

[wizzardly]

[he'd like to argue that, but... well, yeah, it only makes sense. Rincewind couldn't guarantee anything in the face of that either.]

We do.
Good luck I suppose

[jacksonian]

Yeah.

And maybe they'll kill him. There's always that chance.

[wizzardly]

sure. could happen to anyone.

[but then Lucifer isn't anyone. But no point in typing it.]

[jacksonian]

[ Yeah. He doesn't have much faith either. He just texts Rincewind the address, and leaves it at that. ]
