Hello everyone, this is Jim Kirk speaking.

I'm going to be conducting some experiments on leather samples I have been provided and I need help from anyone so inclined. I could use the help of anyone strong and can swing weapons, and also the help of several mages with varying expertise - fire, ice, that sort of thing.

I'm willing to work out a compensation for your time. Please contact me with your availability and your skills if you're interested.

It seems you have all the elemental magic covered that could affect leather, but I could take a few swings at it with my spirit blade, if you would like?

[universal_charm]

Oh, yes, that would be very helpful. I actually hadn't thought of that as being a thing that should be tested, so thank you.

[aceso]

Mm hmm. Where is this taking place and when?

[universal_charm]

Considering that I want people to blast, and zap, and smack these, I'm thinking a bit outside of the town. I don't want o accidentally set anything on fire. Maybe on a bit of beach if I can find any - that would be a good place for testing the fires. Easy to put out that way.

As for when - I'll need to run several variants, so I'm open to what day you have available and I can schedule everyone around their preferred availability.

[aceso]

The Wounded Coast is close by. It is not recommended, however, that you travel there alone, or even in small groups because of bandits, but if we can gather people together at a time that is convenient for all, it should not be a problem.

I am free tomorrow after lunch, and each day this week after two o'clock.

[universal_charm]

Hmm, then I'll find a place we can work. The wood might be all right, we just have to keep an eye on anything that might cause flame.

We can do a day when you're free after two. Your attack is a bit more straight forward to measure so it should go faster.

[aceso]

Well, yes and no. A spirit blade does not work like a regular blade. I need to charge it first, and to do that, I will have to use spells.

[universal_charm]

Still easier to measure a cut than it is to measure the damage of a blast from fire or ice.

[aceso]

All right. Do let me know when I am needed.

[universal_charm]

Of course, and I appreciate this Christine. You'll let me know what I can do to pay you back?

[aceso]

I cannot think of anything right now, but if I can use you for something in future, I will tell you so.

[ There's a bit of humor in her voice, since she's not hard-pressed on holding him to paying her back. ]

[universal_charm]

Oh, you'll know I'll do anything for you Chris ~

_{[ There's an audible wink in there. ]}

[aceso]

[ Oo la la... ]

Indeed. I doubt there is any limit in place there.

[ Since he's the type to give panties as a present. ]

[universal_charm]

Oh never. Perish the very thought of it.

_{[ Hey, you said you liked those. ]}

[aceso]

[ She does! ]

Mm hmm. You are lucky I am not the type to come up with very trying tasks to repay me.

[universal_charm]

I would perform the most Herculean of tasks for you, dear Chris, but I do appreciate you erring to the lighter side.

[aceso]

I can only assume that Herculean means very difficult. And I am kind that way.

[universal_charm]

You are correct, and I am very fortunate.

[aceso]

Good of you to realize it! I took you for a smart man. Glad to see I was right.

[universal_charm]

I do so love living up to your expectations ~

[aceso]

Oh, you charmer. Is that common among your people, or are you just special?

[universal_charm]

Oh, well, I like to think I am very special, yes.

[aceso]

[ Good to know that if more people from his world turn up that they won't all be trying to charm the pants off Thedas. ]

I will keep that in mind.
