[Aak has the misfortune of knowing two people with necromancy but only one he actually cares to defend.]
got it got it 1) our agreed upon materials from the beach 2) lab space i have access to at all hours 3) actual glass labware im tired of using water bottles 4) portable medicine box and send me a picture before you go making any deals so i know i like it 5) restraints for business and pleasure
Number one is five fuckin things - you know I noticed that, right?? [He's still gonna do it, though]
Got a favorite color for number four?
And you're gonna have to get more specific with the restraints, too. I assume you're on the 'tying people up' end? You want rope, cuffs, gags, wire? A whole fuckin cage?
yea but theyre things we already discussed im just giving you plenty of options! outside the lines of our original deal i could take a few personal requests for going above and beyond
dark wood and gold is classic but i wouldnt hate a red accent and i was thinkin like leather straps
a proper relationship requires reciprocity even i can respect that!
[While a lot of Mr. Lee's talk about "friendliness" made him roll his eyes, he could understand the ones that kept your own weak spots small. Keep the debt others could hold over you small by trading peaches for plums.]
i did once use a belt which was kinda like it thats why i think itd be good sturdy and durable for work alone sometimes even the most willing patient lashes out during treatment you know?
How do you get someone so unwilling on the table in the first place, eh?
You don't look like you're physically forcin' em [Charlie's well aware people can be far stronger than they look - but better to pry for a confirmation than assume!]
ah well i havent had private muscle in a long time if i come to an agreement with someone here i can make them aware of our cooperation
[Technically, he would count Broca, but he knows the older man 1) wouldn't just knock people out for him, 2) wouldn't enjoy being contracted out. That was more muscle to be relied on for moving furniture or escaping under when things went poorly.]
[Maybe some small part of him was trying to protect the other guy for a bit. Not out of any soft feelings, of course, that would be ridiculous and he won't have Charlie accusing him again. He just wanted to make sure he had an accurate assessment before he started giving out information.]
it's not like there are a lot of aces out there goro akechi princeofhearts here on the network like who calls themselves a prince? apparently back home he was some detective prince with girls fawning all over him but hes letting his image slip here yanno
I don't know about that, it sounds like he still has a few admirers. [Complaining about someone is a love language so far as Charlie's concerned.]
If he's a detective, maybe I'm better off lettin him do the searching and being the muscle myself! [But he doesn't want to actually share any of the spoils of this contraband shopping trip, so maybe this guy is too savvy...]
Either way, I'll get you your stuff. Or, at least, some of it. You'll make do in the meantime, alright? [The last comment is meant to be encouraging, even if it sounds a bit like he's being bossy for the sake of being bossy (its both)]
[Behind the screen, Aak does make a bit of a face at the idea of his rival (platonic!!) getting hired muscle. If he's then taking requests from the muscle, does that make him lower, or is this their shared muscle...]
of course dude! i've been making do since way before you got here anyways then you can be really impressed with what i make when you get me some tools
[and, unless Charlie's got any more pointless order to give him, Aak will close the convo and tab over to find what dumb movie to put on next]

I'm not worried about a necromancer. [This is a full lie] Sounds like the House gets to 'em first.
Eeeh, if you ever get curious, let me know how it goes. [Go a head, make a fresh corpse to see what happens. You're a scientist, its your job!]
Sounds like you want stuff, right? Give me the top five things on your list.

You know, you make it hard for me to complain when you sweeten things like that.
Classic taste on both parts, got it.
You got any experience with those straps?
[Can't go more than a minute without being nosy]

you know?
no subject
Oh? Wait.
You're not usin this for play, you're doin work!?
Shouldn't be so damn hard to get some blood to look at then, right?
no subject
anyways the straps are more about when someone doesnt want somethin put in em
in many ways

[It's hard to tell if that question mark is there because of "yea duh what else would i do" or just seeing if its an answer he'll accept]
either someone else does the heavy liftin or a sedative does the trick

So you've got a bruiser on the line? Wanna give me their number - might be helpful in gettin your shopping list finished.

Weren't you talkin about a guy who you think killed his way to the top? What about him?
no subject
hmmmmmm
i would say hes not as cooperative and agreeable as me
i just imagine him bein a real brat about it
maybe if you offer him the right stuff
no subject
[Charlie likes brats, he just can't help but tease them.]
Gonna tell me what the 'right stuff' is?
no subject
[so, like, absolutely a brat, but aak submits he is a brat that can be bought]
if i knew the right stuff i'd be using it!
maybe play up his ego? it doesn't work for me because he knows i don't meant it
no subject
That I can do - but it's easier if you tell me what he'd like to hear.
And his fuckin name, you've left that part out.
no subject
[Maybe some small part of him was trying to protect the other guy for a bit. Not out of any soft feelings, of course, that would be ridiculous and he won't have Charlie accusing him again. He just wanted to make sure he had an accurate assessment before he started giving out information.]
