[ dick puts a hand to his mouth and coughs to hide a bit of laughter. SORRY, NATHAN... damn it, this place is stupid. ]

Does that stand for information too, or is it just ... material needs?

[ he's thinking of taako's weed ]

[doublesmall]

... don't know how much we can do on the information front, but material needs? You tell me what you want, I'll tell you if I can make it happen for you and give you a favor to do for me. Sex plus the favor gets you what you want.

[and with a little grin:]

Anything you haven't been able to get your hands on that you're eager for?

[unpredicktable]

Too bad. I'm really more of an information broker.

[ jokes aside, dick tilts his head in consideration at that. ]

I'm guessing it's too much to ask for my wrist computer back? [ he shakes his head because he already knows the answer. there is a lot dick can improvise on and a lot of weapons in this place, but-- he'lll start small? ] Lockpick, maybe.

[ even if this place doesn't let it work on doors and such, with the amount of handcuffs in this place, dick would rather be safe than sorry ]

[doublesmall]

Oh, you aim high, don't you-- but yeah, that might be a little much.

[chuuya hums thoughtfully there, taking a few moments to consider.]

You've got an easier option and a harder one. I can get you something that'll work as one-- something you just can't get a hold of on your own yet-- for an easier favor. Or I can try to get you the real deal, but you're going to have to do more for me if we're going that route.

[unpredicktable]

What can I say, I'm usually pretty spoiled with tools.

[ it's nightwing's turn to take a moment to consider, and then, with a wry grin: ]

Any possibility I can know what the favors are before I settle on the hard or easy route?

[ but he already knows it's gonna be hard because if he's gonna go through some trouble, ]

[doublesmall]

...same basic favor, probably, I'm just gonna make you go further with it if you pick the harder option.

[because yeah, he sort of expects dick to lean toward going for it, just from what he's seen so far. he will not be surprised.]

[unpredicktable]

[ why does it always feel like he's making deals with the devil in this place. ]

Then I might as well go all out and take the harder option.

[ god forbid he ever make his own life easy ]

[doublesmall]

[because the devil works hard but your mods work harder!

chuuya considers another moment, then nods.]

All right. Get 5 other people who haven't visited us yet to go sleep with one of the other 3. All 3 of them have to get at least one, and you can't send anybody to me-- seriously, I'm basically the only one handling this shit right now and a lot of you guys haven't even tried to contact us.

[which is probably because of the pics, but like, damn.]

Tell me who you sent after you've done that, and I'll confirm how it went with the other three-- should be easy for you, right?

[unpredicktable]

[ dick takes that in and. yeah the grimace is actually entirely because he has to convince someone to sleep with polly. damn it, chuuya.

actually god that's gonna be five super awkward conversations everyone he knows is a slut who has already visited hosts. ]

I... There's no way to say yes to this being easy without me feeling like a pimp, is there? [ because that is basically what is happening. hm. ] So I guess I'll just agree.

[doublesmall]

Probably not.

[don't agree so easily, chuuya.]

You should be fine, a lot of you guys haven't come by. Work on that and I'll see what we can do as far as info goes-- you're kind of the first person to actually ask for anything substantial.

[unpredicktable]

Not surprising. [ he frowns a bit, because that sounded maybe a little conceited-- ] Not... great, but not surprising. Gathering intel is kind of what I do.

[doublesmall]

What do you know, we have a few things in common after all. -well, it's only a part of the job, but details.

[chuuya he literally said he was going to avoid thinking about that.]

[unpredicktable]

Only a part of mine too.

[ but on ... sort of... opposite sides of the law. he looks very wryly amused about that ]

[doublesmall]

And more surveillance than gathering intel, technically.

[he shrugs! this is fine... he honestly looks kind of amused too.

listen the mafia literally has a superpowered business license in bsd he does not super care.]

[unpredicktable]

There's an amount of that, too.

[ it turns out batman is like a mafia boss probably. this shocks no one ]

[doublesmall]

You're sure we're really on opposing sides, here?

[now he's just being a shit.]

[unpredicktable]

Not right now, we're not.

[ he can be a bit of a shit too ]

[doublesmall]

Wouldn't be the first time I've worked across that line, so we ought to be fine.

[unpredicktable]

Can't really say we've got that one in common, but I'll let it pass this time.

[doublesmall]

Too much of an upstanding guy to take help where you can get it?

[unpredicktable]

Upstanding's another word for foolish, right? [ if he's going to word it like that but dick shakes his head. ] Bad guys helping out the good guys to take out a bigger bad or to save their own skin? That happens a lot. I take the help, but I watch my back.
