un: undaunted snake in lonely gardens
[ That sure is a soft, somewhat bored, deeply unimpressed voice coming in over the magical network. ]
Has anyone seen anything like a spray bottle being sold at the markets? Some kind of water receptacle connected to something that will spray water out when compressed. A perfume bottle would work. Anything that sprays water will do.
I'll pay for one to be brought to me. Thank you in advance.

I just don't feel like it.

[ well, she sure would love to have that option without having to wrap herself in every clothing possible, but even then her eyes give her away ]
well, I can't help, sorry. Since I'm stuck here.

I also got black eyes and two horns. Guess people aren't used to that here?
un: drenched kitten of heated purrs
A water receptacle that sprays water when compressed. [ His voice also carries a note of the deeply unimpressed. ]
Is there a reason you require such a contraption?
no subject
—I'm sorry, kitten?
no subject
[ The flattest tone. The flattest tone.
Moving on. ]
I am not even sure how one could find such a thing. A perfume holder, perhaps, but--
no subject
Just what have you done, 李先生...?
no subject
[ The tone does not hold any room for further questioning. ]
Explain exactly what it is that you need and why you need it.
no subject
Do you know where to get decent drink in town?
no subject
[ The tone is an almost exact replica of Mingyu’s, but drier. ]
So you will request contraptions from our companions but not tell me why you need it. [ He’s hurt, Mingyu. Actually he’s just tired. ]
I would have thought there was wine enough in your quarters.
no subject
At any rate, I tire of wine. Come drink with me, kitten.
no subject
[ A pause, a furrow of the brow, and a slow question, confusion apparent: ]
You wish me to go somewhere to drink with you? What is wrong with your rooms?
check and mate
Pick up something nice and come by my rooms, then. Snacks, too, if you don't mind. [ A pause. ] You may stop here for funds first if you don't have any, or I can reimburse you after.
no subject
Are there not servants to help with such things?
no subject
[ A pause. ]
And ditch the bodyguard, will you? No offense, Ylva. You seem lovely.
no subject
I understood the invitation, I merely— [ He cut off. He couldn’t very well admit he’d never really had to buy things for himself in his life. Even on the run, once people knew who he was, they simply gave him what he needed.
But he was no longer a prince. The Prince was dead. ]
Fine, Fine. I will find something.
[It was going to take some begging to Ylva and promising her double what she paid for it, but so be it. ]

un: parting petals of the chained daisy
What an intriguing sounding tool! I haven't seen anything like it. Would a jug or pail not work? Hm, I wonder if I could manage something... In theory, it seems simple enough. Not with such a contraption, though... [ She isn't sure if this person might hate magic or not! It would be so much easier if everybody wore signs. ] Whatever is it for?
no subject
I intend to spray it at an offending party to discourage problem behavior.
I suppose it could also be used to water you, 'Daisy'.
no subject
She's surprised at her own giggle in response to him calling her Daisy, but it's so strange to hear somebody other than Varric use that name! It seems wrong, but at the same time it's comforting. ]
I hadn't even thought of that yet. I don't want to use someone else's wash basin.... [ But she also hasn't much eaten. Her priorities lay elsewhere. ] Oh no! Do I smell? Oh, you wouldn't know that wherever you are right now, but now I'm worried! I think I smell fine, but isn't it different when it's yourself? I've smelled some terrible people in the alienage and they didn't seem to notice. It really is much easier to stay watered─ I─ I mean clean, outside of cities, really...
no subject
If you're not sure, just wash up..? It's something you have to do every few days anyway. Did you need to borrow the facilities...? [ Being a professional around here means he gets access to the nice baths. ]
no subject
[ That sounds so fancy. Merrill is very sure she shouldn't touch fancy things. Like she could even find any facilities on her own, anyway, even whatever is public. ]
I wouldn't know where to look! I get a bit...turned around at times, should I say? The kitchen is easy to find because it smells so good, but they didn't much like me in there. The last time I tried to find somewhere private, I ended up interrupting some, ah─ private activities? They were...angry. After that I thought it might be better just to leave the rooms to the people who clearly need it more.
[ Living it up in a dank corner cot with a shirt curtain, don't judge. ]
no subject
How about I meet you in the kitchens and you can borrow mine?

Past that, you just want something handheld to dispense what, a stream of water? For what?

It's adorable that you're expecting to find technology in this place. They don't even know what a refresher is here.

I certainly hope no one is drinking out of the refresher. Sounds deeply unsanitary.
[ Is he going to bother to actually explain to Mingyu? Gosh, why in the world would he do that? ]
Well, have you had any luck so far?
no subject
I've bullied one idiot into drinking with me, offered a bath to a truly wayward soul, and caused two people concern over my disciplinary tactics. Time well spent to me.
no subject
A certain kind of deeply unrelated luck, I suppose. [ You can just almost hear the bone-dry tone of his voice even over text. And after he's squinted over the translation of that French word for a moment: ] A refresher is a facility for beings to hygenically dump out their wastes, yes. Suffice to say I took one look at the options here and did not bother to ask for one.
I haven't seen you at mending. Found something more entertaining to occupy yourself, I take it?
no subject
You were so unimpressed with my efforts, I figured I'd try something I'm better suited for. It's been going... moderately well so far.

[ There's a second's pause while he fiddles with the quartz. There you go, Mingyu, now you can hear his deeply unimpressed voice as it was meant to be experienced. ]
A refresher is an item to shit in, yes. Not every being in the galaxy produces shit or piss. Surely not on Canada either? I don't feel like listing out every variety of liquid, paste, gel, pellet, or mulch I've ever seen for you.
[ There you go, anyone who happens to be sitting near Mingyu for this delightful conversation. ]
And what are you trying, then? Something to bring in bribery funds, or just inviting beings in for debauchery?
no subject
What's it to you how I'm making my living? Looking for lessons, perhaps...?
no subject
You're the one who insisted I was being so awfully remiss by just saying 'waste'.
And if this little group cannot share such basic information between ourselves, then we have no hope of ever staying organized enough to get out of here.
