RE: [Tiburon][U] The Buoyant Bistro - DarkAbyssKeeper - 06-17-2018
Riesig didn't think, in recent memory at least, that he had ever seen anyone make a quill glide along parchment with quite the speed that Lord Belmont was while they talked. In the space of time that the mage had explained the situation of his outing in the town of Maroo, Lord Belmont had half penned some sort of missive offering financial support to the town and its craftsman. As he neared the end he slid a metal pot containing a hardened purple wax towards Riesig.
"Melt this, would you." he seemed distracted but Riesig got the impression this man always seemed that way.

"whoah, that's some fast writing, and big numbers for aid. Wish I got paid that much to free their town..." he got quieter and trailed off at the end, realizing it wasnt quite professional to whine. When the pot was handed to him, he held in his hand and summoned a Dark Flame Fireball around his had and it. When it was melted, he set it back down.

"Unless I am mistaken Mr Brand, you are not an entire town that produces a valuable resource." he said as he dipped his ring in the wax and used it to seal the missive.

"An entire town? No, but that would be pretty crazy. Can you imagine? Having a whole town inside of yourself..." He got distracted as he had his mist play out a scene of a human walking up to a town and absorbing it inside itself on the table where Lord Belmont wasn't working. The figure then went about and opened the town for other random figures that it wandered across.

The lord watched the figures walk across the table and actually smiled a little, apparently pleased with the development.
"So, Mr Brand. What would you be looking for in terms of sponsorship to attend the Ball under the banner of House Belmont?" he asked coolly as one of the waitresses collected his missive to Maroo.

"I'm gonna be honest with you. I have no idea what that means. If you're, like, showering candidates with money or cool magical tools I could work under those conditions. I came here because I read you needed someone magical for something or other. And I thought I fit that description. Maybe I could be more specific if I knew what being sponsored meant." he chuckled at the end. He seemed oblivious that he should maybe care that he didnt come off as intelligent. But, it didnt matter to him since he was comfortable with himself.
He continued to fiddle with his city man by creating a fireball and pulling small drops to act as lanterns throughout the town. The mist swirling around the flames.

"The ball itself is a rather a social affair. Houses will subtly attempt to determine whom has sponsored the most impressive candidates while also demonstrating their benefit to Tiburon and Avarka as a whole. There will be dancing, good food, a chance to rub elbows with those you might otherwise never meet. There may even be exhibitions of one kind or another, by the whims of the hosting family." he said, stirring a mug of sweat smelling orange liquid.
"Traditionally those sponsored name the manner of their patronage and the house determines the value after the ball. So for instance, you could decide to participate for coin, I would grant you the correct amount of coin after the ball. Or you could ask for political favour, and I would make a similar assessment." he explained.

"Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Seems kinda random, but I'm not gonna turn down the opportunity to get cool stuff. I think it would be fun if you shared some of the cool toys you have probably got wherever rich people keep the things the have but don't use. So, I'll do this for an item you have that relates to fire, water, or mist which you think would be most enjoyable for me to have. That should be fun! Before I forget, is there anything specific you want or don't want me to do?" Riesig had let city man wander off the table into the great forever and reformed his mist into a scarf. He was interested in this now and wanted to pay attention.
RE: [Tiburon][U] The Buoyant Bistro - DarkAbyssKeeper - 06-30-2018
I, Riesig Brand, agree to take part in the Sponsorship Ball as a representative of House Belmont. I shall purport myself with as much decorum and sense as I am able and take directions from Lord Belmont when necessary. In exchange for this, House Belmont shall grant me a magical item suited to my performance and aligned with my existing talents if possible.
It was a simple note the lord slid across the table with a quill resting on it. Riesig felt like Belmont could have made this much more like a contract with only a few more moments. He was either keeping it brief to provide loopholes or because he didn't want to wait for the mage to read a longer declaration.
RE: [Tiburon][U] The Buoyant Bistro - Riesig - 06-30-2018
Riesig read it, and one thought came to mind. "Thanks for not making it more pages thick than the table, but could you be more specific on the take orders bit? Whose necessary, mine or yours? And are there any limits? Like burn down that old lady's house, and I would just have to? Not that I'm really against that, just want to wrap my mind around it before input my mark on that.
