* And what of your own? What are your credentials? Do you have a current job, or are you unemployed? Do you like long walks on the beach? Or alone time in a dark cavern? Date of birth? Childhood dreams?

* Hmph.

That was two ‘hmph’s now. Invex works on a three ‘hmph’ system. Three ‘hmph’s and he’s out.

* I asked you first.

[lord-invex]

* If it was a business, you'd be in crippling debt. If it were a contest, you'd be in last place. But now isn't a time for strife... Again, how desperate are you to capture a human? Is there a reward you'd want for it? Popularity? Gold? Recognition from someone you admire? Anyway... I'd say a human would be worth.... 20 thousand GOLD? That sounds like enough to me. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Invex sighed, patience now as thin as a fly’s wing.

* ...Revenge.

He smirked and shook his head.

* Do you honestly think I would sink 20,000 of my precious G into your operation without a single inkling as to what your credentials are? People have called me an eccentric in the past, but I have never known such presumptuous insolence.

[lord-invex]

* ...Well I myself am equivalent to what the surface calls "The Pacific Ocean". I have kept a very well trained eye on my funds since the very day I decided I didn't want to be penniless anymore! I started off with 0 G at the start of my business. And at the height of my empire I was at 30506 GOLD. Right now I am at 16752 G... So I ask again, how much do you have on your person at an average moment? Or perhaps... Right now?

* Hmph. Is it business you want, or a contest?

Invex folded his arms, displeased.

* Never you mind what my net worth is. Simply quote a price and I shall decide whether or not I wish to pay. You are trying my patience.

[lord-invex]

* It really depends on how desperate you are to find them. I've had several customers that are human, but I didn't really bother to attempt to capture them or anything. A customer of mine is also a temporary ally! Let me just ask... How much GOLD do you have on average at any given moment?

* Desperate is probably a good word to describe it...

* Yes...I am just desperate to greet them.

Invex raised brow slightly at the question of how much money he had on him and sniggered, shaking his head.

* Does the ocean care to keep track of how many droplets it has? I think not.

[lord-invex]

* Information is quite easy for one like myself. I have my own clan of spiders that act as my spies around the underground. We also have many tunnel systems that allow easy access across the land. Given enough time and effort, anything should be possible. That is if you have enough to pay for this information.

* Hmmmm...

Invex strokes the carapace under his chin with a thoughtful smirk.

* What would you ask for locations? Specifically, the location of humans. Ever more specifically, the location of human children.

[lord-invex]

* Hmm... Greetings. I believe we could reach a great partnership in the future. I myself am a businessman, a wealthy one at that. And am willing to help you in any ventures you may find yourself in need of funds. Won't you say "Yes, My Lord"...?

* Hmph.

* Funds are not an issue. I am plenty affluent.

* However, how wealthy are you in information, my dear fellow?

[Watcher was enjoying his eveneing, sipping his tea, watching his anime favorite anime and was sketching multiple secrets that would never see the light of day. It was going great until...he heard that strange noise. ‘BANG, BANG, BANG!’ Was someone trying to knock on his door with a hammer or something? Watcher paused the TV and opened the door to check out what was going on. ‘BANG, BANGN BANG!’ It happened again and again, then Watcher noticed the small spider-person hammering some pegs around his land...oh that’s kinda funny, the pegs look too big for the little guy from this angl- WAIT WHAT IS HE DOING?

Watcher marched over to the spider and looked down at him with a raised eyebrow.]

*Hey...what erm...what are you doing there friendo?
