DT: *he teleports around the forest*

...hmmm... I heard there were some sort of wine here...

(Spellcaster is inexplicably at the next spot they teleport to already.)

"Howdy. You're Tug's brother, right?"

DT: hmm, interesting

*he types in his name into the screen*

[Continuing from this chain. Got reset because [tumblr]]

WELCOME, DT. PLEASE SIGN BELOW.

(The signature field is still empty.)

DT: oh right-

*he puts his signature right i to the machine*

Setup complete!

(The screen changes to nothing but an order button.)

DT: *he pulls out a small bag*

Golden coins work right?

"We did just do a whole lot of math to make them work. Though you should probably place the order once you're back at your bar. That way we'll be able to deliver it right there."

DT: gotcha

#there was probably a reason the amnesia happened past stirring up chaos on jey's end #and i trust that any they want back will return

(An anon whispers something to Spellcaster.)

"Wait, really?"

"I gotta go, you two have fun."

(He leaves a portal for DT back to the forest and flies off through it.)

Wonderful, i shall put the +10 vorpal chancla back into storage then.

"...terrifying"

Please refrain from attempting to force her memories to return

else i will deploy the chancla.

"I don't plan on forcing anything."

Yo update Denny woke up but she has amnesia

"Really?"

(Spellcaster immediately drops his studies and flies off.)

(Spellcaster is inexplicably at the next spot they teleport to already.)

"Howdy. You're Tug's brother, right?"

DT: ah hello, you must be spellcaster

You're correct, I am his brother

"Mhm. Now, why were you looking for wine in the forest?"

DT: to study it, hopefully, maybe I can use its contents to improve on my drinks

"Well. It's a kind of fermented grape juice, effectively. It's also typically not found in the forest. Kinda takes effort to make. And the forest is busy keeping dumbasses from cutting it down."

DT: mmm... understandable, most people try that

*he looks to the side*

"Yeah. Anyway, it looks something like this."

(When DT looks back, Spellcaster is holding out a bottle of wine for him to take.)

DT: hmmm, impressive

"Well? You wanted wine."

(He keeps holding it out.)

DT: *he walks up to him and take the wine, studying it*

"Say, how is studying a bottle of wine gonna teach ya to make it? Food and drink made from magic don't typically taste as good, and that's something critics can notice. Unless you plan to somehow reverse-engineer the whole process from one bottle?"

DT: i run a bar spellcaster, drinks like these are sorta my job

"I understand that much, but studying a bottle of wine won't really teach you how to make it unless you plan to magick it up. And like I said, doesn't tend to taste quite as good as the 'normal' stuff without unreasonable amounts of magic for something you'd be selling for normal prices."

DT: you highly underestimate how good I can make a drink without magic, I can show you someday if you're interested

"Sure, but that doesn't really explain actually getting the wine. It isn't just a blend of the right ingredients, it's a long process of distilling and aging. All an analysis like yours can really get you is the contents. Maybe just the right spells and observations could tell you what happened to them, but not really how. To learn how you'd effectively need to look into the bottle's past, and at that point just go to a distillery and study it directly."

DT: ...right

*he sighs* you're making it sound complicated

"Now you're getting it. You could also just. Buy wine to use at your bar. Most do, it's a lot easier than making it yourself."

"Hell, I could show you where to get some of the best wine in either of our dimensions in bulk."

DT: *his ears perk up in interest*

...go on?

"Here."

(Spellcaster opens a portal to the inside of some distillery.)

"We'll need to do some annoying math to figure out currency exchange rates and stuff, but that's just part of interdimensional purchaces."

(Inside, you can see a lot of complicated, hard to understand machinery. The people around working on it are of various races, about 20% of them human and the rest of them various different humanoid animals.)

DT: hmmm...

*he studys the area, looking at the complex machinery* ...interesting

(Spellcaster takes his phone from his bag.)

"Alright, just a moment."

(He calls someone. They pick up fairly quickly.)

"Hey, I've got someone here who would like to make an order. Where are ya?"

"...well that's inconvenient. I thought you'd be in the distillery about now."

"Listen, I thought you'd be here so I took them here!"

"Yeah yeah, I know, we'll be out front waiting for ya, alright?"

"Mhm. Thanks."

(He hangs up and turns back to DT.)

"So, uh. Turns out bringing people into the distillery without notice is... Ill-advised, so we'll be waiting out front."

DT: ...very well

*he crosses his arms* where is that

"This way, I think."

(A portal opens to a fairly rural road, not many houses around and the large distillery behind you. Spellcaster walks through.)

DT: *he looks around to study the environment they're in*

Huh... very interesting

(A car drives down and pulls into the parking lot.)

"That was fast."

(Someone steps out and approaches the two.)

"Hi, Furor."

"...and co."

"Hi, Caries. This is DT."

"...DT?"

"Ask him, not me. Either way, DT, this is Caries!"

DT: a pleasure to meet you sir

"Neither sir nor madam for me, DT. Now, I hear you're interested in a business deal?"

DT: shit- most apologies. And yes, i've heard you had the best wine there is, correct?

"So I've heard. I suppose it makes sense with fermentation as part of my domain."

DT: *he tilts hisbhead* huh?

"Rot. Decay. Organic matter being broken down to feed the earth. That is what I have come to embody."

DT: i see...

*he looks around* ...so that's what it was...

"What?"

"I tend to keep my magic contained to my work, if it's causing any problems I'd love to know."

(Spellcaster looks confused too.)

DT: i belive this "rot" has been spreading to other places besides here... it looked familiar...

"All it is is the natural decay of dead matter. If you've ever seen a decaying tree or forest creature then it'd look familiar."

"Plus, they've never been to another dimension. Unless you've been here before, you shouldn't have really seen any of their work around."

DT: well no, i haven't been here since today

"Well, then-"

{Hey, DT. That rot doesn't even really look the same. You alright?}

"Huh? What are you on about?"

"Who are you talking to?"

"...ghosts?"

"Not getting an answer, got it. Tell me when you're done hallucinating."

(Caries walks off and stands by their car.)

DT: you hear them too huh? The mods?

"Yeah. Now what were you on about?"

{The red shit in that one smiling mountain.}

"...really?"

DT: the red thing that posses dead creatures?

"Yeeah, that ain't their domain. They're literal rot. Like, the thing dead things do, not... Whatever Yngya has going on."

DT: hmmm... gotcha...

"Alright, we ready to call them back over?"

DT: yeah

"Alright."

(He waves them down and they walk back.)

"Alright, done being weird?"

"Yeah yeah, just sorting out the misunderstanding. Nothing to do with you."

"Great."

DT: *he crosses his arms and looks to the side*

"Well, heard you wanted to buy some wine?"

DT: *he looks back at them* correct

"Well, if you're from another realm, the currency exchange may be difficult to figure out, but I've got time. Come inside, I can't imagine it's good just standing out here while we do math for however long."

DT: right

*he walks inside*

(They all go in and head down to Caries' office.)

(They sit down and gesture for DT to do the same)

DT: *he sits down next to them, staying silent until needed to talk*

(A lot of math later...)

"Okay, so I'm thinking around 40 of your gold per bottle of wine before any bulk discounts, does that sound fair?"

DT: yeah, seems to be fair enough

"Alright. I'll be back out in a moment with a printed contract to sign, and we can be on our way."

DT: gotcha

(A few minutes later, they return with a contract and a small device.)

"Okay, read all you like and then sign here."

DT: *he nods before leaning over and reading the contract*

*once he was done, he writes down his signature onto the device*

(The device is not habded to him yet. He signs the contract.)

"Alright, and this is for ordering. I'll let Furor handle delivery, but just enter how many bottles you're ordering and we'll get it to you within the next day or two depending on how many. More than 10 and you'll have a 30% bulk discount, just make sure to have payment on hand when he arrives."

(They hand over the device.)

DT: gotcha

*he takes the device*

(The screen lights up and displays a loading screen for a few seconds.)

"Once you complete the setup, we should be good to go."

(The text under the loading bar reads as follows, in chronological order;)

BOOTING UP...

SCANNING USER...

FETCHING DATA TABLES...

PREPARING...

LAUNCHING ORDERING PROGRAM...

Welcome, new user! Please type your name and sign below!

(There is a text field which pops up an on-screen keyboard when tapped with a box below it that writes like paper with your finger to sign it in.)

DT: *he teleports around the forest*

DT: a pleasure to meet you sir

"Neither sir nor madam for me, DT. Now, I hear you're interested in a business deal?"

DT: shit- most apologies. And yes, i've heard you had the best wine there is, correct?

"So I've heard. I suppose it makes sense with fermentation as part of my domain."

DT: *he tilts hisbhead* huh?

"Rot. Decay. Organic matter being broken down to feed the earth. That is what I have come to embody."

DT: i see...

*he looks around* ...so that's what it was...

"What?"

"I tend to keep my magic contained to my work, if it's causing any problems I'd love to know."

(Spellcaster looks confused too.)

DT: i belive this "rot" has been spreading to other places besides here... it looked familiar...

"All it is is the natural decay of dead matter. If you've ever seen a decaying tree or forest creature then it'd look familiar."

"Plus, they've never been to another dimension. Unless you've been here before, you shouldn't have really seen any of their work around."

DT: well no, i haven't been here since today

"Well, then-"

{Hey, DT. That rot doesn't even really look the same. You alright?}

"Huh? What are you on about?"

"Who are you talking to?"

"...ghosts?"

"Not getting an answer, got it. Tell me when you're done hallucinating."

(Caries walks off and stands by their car.)

DT: you hear them too huh? The mods?

"Yeah. Now what were you on about?"

{The red shit in that one smiling mountain.}

"...really?"

DT: the red thing that posses dead creatures?

"Yeeah, that ain't their domain. They're literal rot. Like, the thing dead things do, not... Whatever Yngya has going on."

DT: hmmm... gotcha...

"Alright, we ready to call them back over?"

DT: yeah

"Alright."

(He waves them down and they walk back.)

"Alright, done being weird?"

"Yeah yeah, just sorting out the misunderstanding. Nothing to do with you."

"Great."

DT: *he crosses his arms and looks to the side*

"Well, heard you wanted to buy some wine?"

DT: *he looks back at them* correct

"Well, if you're from another realm, the currency exchange may be difficult to figure out, but I've got time. Come inside, I can't imagine it's good just standing out here while we do math for however long."

DT: right

*he walks inside*

(They all go in and head down to Caries' office.)

(They sit down and gesture for DT to do the same)

DT: *he sits down next to them, staying silent until needed to talk*

(A lot of math later...)

"Okay, so I'm thinking around 40 of your gold per bottle of wine before any bulk discounts, does that sound fair?"

DT: yeah, seems to be fair enough

"Alright. I'll be back out in a moment with a printed contract to sign, and we can be on our way."

DT: *he teleports around the forest*

...hmmm... I heard there were some sort of wine here...

(Spellcaster is inexplicably at the next spot they teleport to already.)

"Howdy. You're Tug's brother, right?"

DT: ah hello, you must be spellcaster

You're correct, I am his brother

"Mhm. Now, why were you looking for wine in the forest?"

DT: to study it, hopefully, maybe I can use its contents to improve on my drinks

"Well. It's a kind of fermented grape juice, effectively. It's also typically not found in the forest. Kinda takes effort to make. And the forest is busy keeping dumbasses from cutting it down."

DT: mmm... understandable, most people try that

*he looks to the side*

"Yeah. Anyway, it looks something like this."

(When DT looks back, Spellcaster is holding out a bottle of wine for him to take.)

DT: hmmm, impressive

"Well? You wanted wine."

(He keeps holding it out.)

DT: *he walks up to him and take the wine, studying it*

"Say, how is studying a bottle of wine gonna teach ya to make it? Food and drink made from magic don't typically taste as good, and that's something critics can notice. Unless you plan to somehow reverse-engineer the whole process from one bottle?"

DT: i run a bar spellcaster, drinks like these are sorta my job

"I understand that much, but studying a bottle of wine won't really teach you how to make it unless you plan to magick it up. And like I said, doesn't tend to taste quite as good as the 'normal' stuff without unreasonable amounts of magic for something you'd be selling for normal prices."

DT: you highly underestimate how good I can make a drink without magic, I can show you someday if you're interested

"Sure, but that doesn't really explain actually getting the wine. It isn't just a blend of the right ingredients, it's a long process of distilling and aging. All an analysis like yours can really get you is the contents. Maybe just the right spells and observations could tell you what happened to them, but not really how. To learn how you'd effectively need to look into the bottle's past, and at that point just go to a distillery and study it directly."

DT: ...right

*he sighs* you're making it sound complicated

"Now you're getting it. You could also just. Buy wine to use at your bar. Most do, it's a lot easier than making it yourself."

"Hell, I could show you where to get some of the best wine in either of our dimensions in bulk."

DT: *his ears perk up in interest*

...go on?

"Here."

(Spellcaster opens a portal to the inside of some distillery.)

"We'll need to do some annoying math to figure out currency exchange rates and stuff, but that's just part of interdimensional purchaces."

(Inside, you can see a lot of complicated, hard to understand machinery. The people around working on it are of various races, about 20% of them human and the rest of them various different humanoid animals.)

DT: hmmm...

*he studys the area, looking at the complex machinery* ...interesting

(Spellcaster takes his phone from his bag.)

"Alright, just a moment."

(He calls someone. They pick up fairly quickly.)

"Hey, I've got someone here who would like to make an order. Where are ya?"

"...well that's inconvenient. I thought you'd be in the distillery about now."

"Listen, I thought you'd be here so I took them here!"

"Yeah yeah, I know, we'll be out front waiting for ya, alright?"

"Mhm. Thanks."

(He hangs up and turns back to DT.)

"So, uh. Turns out bringing people into the distillery without notice is... Ill-advised, so we'll be waiting out front."

DT: ...very well

*he crosses his arms* where is that

"This way, I think."

(A portal opens to a fairly rural road, not many houses around and the large distillery behind you. Spellcaster walks through.)

DT: *he looks around to study the environment they're in*

Huh... very interesting

(A car drives down and pulls into the parking lot.)

"That was fast."

(Someone steps out and approaches the two.)

"Hi, Furor."

"...and co."

"Hi, Caries. This is DT."

"...DT?"

"Ask him, not me. Either way, DT, this is Caries!"

DT: a pleasure to meet you sir

"Neither sir nor madam for me, DT. Now, I hear you're interested in a business deal?"
