You'll have it all the time.

[He looks--not concerned exactly, but... sad? at the desperate-sounding question.]

It's yours.

[ in which case - she hands over those six vouchers. ]

... I know that this is a silly thing to ask for. Compared to other spells that would serve others better. I intend to work towards those, as well.

[He takes the vouchers slowly, peers at them,

then splits one off, handing the single one back.]


...A donation to what you're working toward.

[ oh! she brightens, taking it back! ]

And here I was thinking that you must be the stingiest dorm head!

[He makes a noise kind of like a huffed tch.]

If it's worth something to you, you have to earn it. Having enough vouchers means you've put in the work to get what's important to you.

I don't charge the highest price, but I'm not going to charge the cheapest either if I can help it.

Aren't you worried about being undercut by another dorm head? Or does the competition between dorms not capture your interest?
darksubverted: (Riku (120))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-21 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's already been happening. Sure, I worry about it. But earning it is what I believe in. If it's important to you, you'll work to buy it, even if it's at a slightly higher price.

Well... some of you would. The others are greedy enough to run to whoever is cheapest so they can get it as soon as possible, even if it skews the Dorm Wars.

I suppose if we stay loyal and give our vouchers to you regardless of high prices, it does still serve us well.

[ it's just more vouchers turned in, regardless of reward. ]
darksubverted: (Riku (198))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-21 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't tell you what to do with your vouchers in the end. You still have a choice.

It just depends on if you care about the reward from winning Dorm Wars or not. And I don't think a lot of people care because of what's happening. Not that winning is more important... but actions have consequences.

Not many people are thinking about the Dorm Wars rankings when they're trying to get something to help them.

[personal profile] illuminance 2021-06-21 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true that I don't care about winning the Dorm Wars. I don't desire to see my peers in other dorms as competition, nor to I desire the reward.

But I would rather keep my purchases between myself and you, rather than speaking of them with others just for a better price.

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-21 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I get it.

[hm,]

When you get your glow, you'll have to show me. I've never seen a lot of magic before. Uh. If you want, I mean.

[Now you know why this has been so fucking funny to me.]

[personal profile] illuminance 2021-06-21 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i hate it here ]

... Maybe. It's always been a dangerous thing to show anyone.

When will it return?

As long as we made the exchange, you should have it.

... Ah. I should discuss my next purchase, so that I know what to expect. There are a couple different spells I would like to ask you for a price on.

[ she kind... counts off her most frequently used spells on her fingers. ]

Illusions would be one. The others are things I can usually do with my light, when I throw it. Light binding is a cage to prevent movement in someone it touches. Prismatic barrier provides a shield for whoever it passes through...

Or... Lucent singularity. To burst and do harm. But I am placing this spell low, as a priority.

[ ....... she is not even going to mention the laser. she does not want to believe she will need the laser. ]

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-22 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
The standard price for magic is around eight before discounts, depending on what it is exactly.

[He looks thoughtful for a moment as he considers her explanation.]

A cage or a barrier would be more. About ten or twelve. Something offensive would run the eight.

[personal profile] illuminance 2021-06-22 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Self defense costs more than offense. That's good to know.
darksubverted: (Riku (181))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-22 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Some of you seem to think even that is too high for offensive ones. Which is why they ran to take the cheapest option.
illuminance: (pic#14839887)

[personal profile] illuminance 2021-06-22 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
I accept the prices, I simply think the prioritizing is strange.

Either way. I will endeavor to earn enough vouchers.
darksubverted: (Riku (153))

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-22 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not disagreeing. I have to go by the rules set for us.

Good luck.

[The last part doesn't sound mean, but earnest.]
