> "She seemed perfectly willing to transfer contract ownership to me. Like, I know she's smart, and I'm pretty sure I've got a reputation for business deals. Even if she was being grouchy, or joking, or whatever, that's a risky thing to offer me if she doesn't actually fully mean it."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Oh."

[Kilgamayan]

> "...Okay, to be honest, it's not just worrying. It's also partially trying to suss out how poachable you might be."

> Ask Koakuma then  if, all considered, a "job alternation and on-projects", is more preferrable,  doable, useful for all parties involved...

>...together with asking her about,if she has any ideas or advices ,what would Patchouli would request,ask in exchange or in collaboration for such.

[Kilgamayan]

> Once the above is complete: "All that being said, I do have to admit I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment, due to the hair thing, so I may not be able to compete with your current employer in that regard, at least for the moment."

>"Well, if you watch Patchy on board," says Koa, "you're gonna have to bribe her with something shiny. Like money or rare books or some kind of magic doodad. And I guess I could be a gofer or something, maybe? What's in it for me, though?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile.
> "Thanks. I think so too, even if it is temporary. I may try to find if it's possible to make it not temporary."

[It's Purvis!]

> Smile.

>"What you do is you try to set up a daily or weekly dose," Koa says. "As long as you can get it renewed, it's the same as not temporary."

[Kilgamayan]

> "That's not a bad idea, if it becomes more affordable."

[It's Purvis!]

[It's Purvis!]

> "What's your method, then?"

>"I don't use anything like that," she says. "It's just stuff I've absorbed off the purple monster's work."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh. I thought you were referring to product becoming more affordable. My mistake."

[It's Purvis!]

> "Oh. I thought you were referring to product becoming more affordable. My mistake."

>"Well, I'm just assuming that a sustaining dose would be easier and cheaper," says Koa. "That's how it tends to be."

[Kilgamayan]

> "I guess it would depend on how much she used of the ingredients I got for her."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I guess it would depend on how much she used of the ingredients I got for her."

[It's Purvis!]

> "I can only hope."
