You did not make yourself a drink.

Well, stuffing pieces of people into a blender so I can drink them in front of a guest just seemed like terrible etiquette.

It's a game, of sorts.
You place your hands out palm down on the table. I ask you ten questions. For every answer I don't like, I take a finger.
[... that's their resume, ig.]

Whoa!

So you have work experience with the mafia. Got it!

I know what a waffle is.
[they say, flatly. this does not mean they necessarily have always known what a waffle is, though.]

Makes sense. Waffles and concrete are modern, after all.
[...]
Modern-ish.
[She says, like concrete isn't 3000 years old.]
What kind of set up are you used to, then?

You gather correctly. The most magical place in my world is a theme park, and even that gets boring after a while.
[D*sney.........]
Can you use magic yourself?

Not a fan. I don't know the limits of what it can do. So I don't like it.
