- S: what are you plannin on this here buildin? Just standard management or?
- “Well for now. That was going to be my next thing. How does 10k credits sound for the next time you all activate a scarring, 2 weeks in advance.”

- “Youve made a lot of money. This building was a couple of credits per month for most people.”
- M: ik u threatened us, what happens if we say no?
- “Then i’d have to try again. I dont want us to end on bad terms.”
- (he’s bluffing. Not sure why. There’s a bluff in the entirety of the convo. If he is greed, why would he negotiate with us?)
- I: can we think on this?
- “Of course. If you wish; promise me another meeting, and i’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll tell you how to contact the last runelord you’re missing.”

- “Most appropriate to kill?”
- M: yes?
- “Yourself.”
- I: have any guidance to become but a fraction of your strength?
- “A fraction? For you, just keep going into the pillars of senaria.”
- I: (more elegantly said) why would greed want to entreat with us
- “Bc he’s a coward. He doesnt want blood on his hand if it meant not reaping profit. The betterment of himself is not worth more than his possession.”
