>Gamma, Bond Star, negotiate 3-4 more vials, in exchange for the additional opportunity for a no-holds barred prank on the upcoming R Company Task Force. If yes, feel free to let her entertain next hour.
Alright, hopefully you're not making a big mistake with the offer you told Gamma to give. He puts out his cigarette before heading over.
<span class="mu-i">The show will begin very shortly.</span>
ETF-γ grumbles under his breath at what he's asked to do.
γ: Hey, starlight! I got a little deal for you!
<span class="mu-b">You lose connection to the camera feed for a second.</span>
Once it turns back on, the magician is right up in the agent's face.
ANOMALY: Oooohhh, a deal, huh? You think you're clever? I know what you're going to ask.
ANOMALY: Moooooore stardust, eh? Do I look like a stardust sl-
ETF-γ puts a finger up to the star creature's mouth.
γ: Look. I got a very great offer for you, nightlight, and I'm not going to say it twice.
γ: We got these shooters, real bang bang folks, real country cowboys coming over.
ANOMALY: I fail to see how t-
γ: Shut up, I'm not finished.
γ: You get to prank these cowboys fucks with no restrictions. No bars held.
γ: Just for a few vials of that stardust. Is that alright?
The room is silent as the anomaly processes the deal.
ANOMALY: No-holds barred. This coming from the boss himself?
γ: Ye-
THe magician grabs the man's hands and violently shakes them. An unsettling laugh echoes through the cell.
ANOMALY: <span class="mu-b">Oh boy, you don't know what you're letting me do. Deal accepted.</span>
<span class="mu-i">They say that magic always has a price, whether fake or real. Do you dare pay?</span>
ETF-γ gulps. He pulls his hands away and places one on her shoulder.
γ: I do want to make something very clear before we sign any oaths or whatever.
The magician chuckles.
ANOMALY: Alright, alright. What is it?
γ: I don't want you messing up our fighting force. If you promise to me to only prank the Rangers?
γ: I'll give you a blank check to do whatever weird bullshit you want to me. I'll take the brunt of it.
ANOMALY: Awww. Don't you trust me? Your hesitation says a lot~!
γ: It's either that or you can't perform with the others. Got it?
The magician hem and haws at the restriction.
ANOMALY: Fiiiine. I guess I'll accept that, you bore.
γ: Great. Now that we got that situated, we can make some arrangements for that 'show' you want.
γ: First, though, stardust?
ANOMALY: Yeah, yeah. Milking me dry with all of these requests lately.
ANOMALY: I am the most excellent performer of this facility, so I can understand.
The ETF agent mutters.
γ: hope we're not playing with a monkey's paw here.
The two idly chit chat with each other as the three vials brought get filled up.
<span class="mu-g">The conversation goes over pleasantly, leaving the anomaly in a good mood as γ exits.</span>
Now, how to hold up your end of the bargain...
