I'm confused about that too... I haven't heard of 'Italian' either. *ruffles Kerin's hair and pushes wind at the orb again, causing it to spin uncontrollably*

The lens shifts around to Wu. No, you silly goose, I'm an Eye, not an ass. Don't you know your body parts? If it's any consolation, there's two eyes and a whole rest of the body back here in my workshop. Ugh! I knew I should have taken the extra shift in Eba's shop instead of scouting around for new places with raw material.
And no, they would be blind! When we Tvyyrans come together, we are unstoppable. We would dazzle them with our Larklight Medallions, outstrip them with our Amber Scatterers, and send them back where they came with our Chimes of Dismissal. And still have enough time to get to Swelters, the Infernal Galley, for a hearty Italian buffet! It's really very good, you know, you should try it sometime. They've got this awesome underwater exhibit thing as you eat, and...
Distracted, the Eye gets nearly poked and blown away, seeming to vanish. But if one were to study it closely, a certain ripple in the air would reveal one of its special abilities as a spying device - invisibility. Victory is short lived as it drifts silently between the group and reappears in a dazzling array of blue sparks, that might set everyone's hair on end.
Oh, I'm annoying? No, what's annoying is to have your good name dragged through the mud before you even get somewhere. Merlin's beard! Maybe it would be easier to animate an army, grab all the building resources, everyone's gold, and get out. But, no. We're civilized.
And.... and... Daichi did it because he's a brat, plain and simple. It's the truth, I know it! He did it to that other guy and whispered evil things about us!

"Nyosik... You sure like to hear yourself talk, don't you. Don't you ever stop to take a breath?
*glares at the thing*
((I do actually think you're fun to play with Eye Spy... I'm just playing my character appropriately, that's all!))

The lens swivels at Caine, and the little image of the Eye's Controller has his brows furrowed in agitation. He takes a deep breath and speaks again in a slow, even tone as if explaining that one plus one equals two.
That's because we're salesmen. We're very good at making small talk and otherwise trying to calm cantankerous customers, or get them to realize that they really do need what we're selling. Honestly, some of them are so dense. Like Old Lady Scully the other day...

Sorry... but your babble isn't making me calm, or making me want to buy anything from you... it's making me want to throw you into a volcano!
I'm a mercenary- If I want something, I get it- without all this fuss. Besides... wouldn't it be better salesmanship to actually come see potential customers face to face, instead of sending a proxy?

*makes a face at Caine as his hair is ruffled, then grins, turning back to the thing to listen with his head tilted*
Oh! You're a salesman *snickers* Well that explains a lot. And Dai doesn't seem so bad *glances over at the dragonette and shrugs* Least not from what I've been seein'.

That's because you're a brute. If I had known earlier, I would have sent one of my animated giant metal trolls over to try to conduct a sale. You look like you'd have a lot in common.
I like trolls, though. They're one of my favorites to sculpt and animate.
And I would have come myself, if I hadn't been looking for lands with plenty of raw materials to harvest. Finding people was just the pepperoni on the pizza, so to speak... though with the viciousness already spread, and then that one that is a money hater, it looks like the pepperoni is pretty rotten.
((heh. Thanks, and me too. Daichi showed me this board, and my signature thing to do is post in a chat box that the Eye Spy is going around looking at the board as I do it. I have to admit, this is probably the most fun experience I've had doing that.))

Oh, don't worry about blood shedding. Rotates and revolves in a dizzying display of blue before the lens swivels back into place. All crystal. No blood.... and just the right amount of Golden Tvyyran Talisman Grease.
Hovers over toward Faye. Yes, we are of the noble salesmanly profession. And inventor profession. And shopkeeper profession. And harvesters. And enchanters. We've established a healthy vertical monopoly over the centuries.
And no, Daichi isn't bad, he's just a brat. And he's biased against salesman! I mean, how could you? We are the developing elite, bring you protection and conveniences and necessities only for a helping of the coin of the realm. What's not to like about us?

Oh hey! There's actually another Selkie around here? *peers at Faye* You're one of the little ones, no? *grins slightly, well aware of the irony of the statement*
Edit: *blinks at the orb* You know that I didn't get most of that, right? *shrugs* Salesmans a salesman, ceptin' if he has something we actually want and are expectin' to get. And the ones with the stuff we needed back when I was with my aunt always called themselves 'merchants' anyways.
I'm thinkin' that I agree with Daichi. *grins* I've gotten some great amusement watchin' my cousins run off a salesman before though! Does that count?
((That's rather awesome XD I'm getting tons of amusment just reading through it all!))

*sighs* And maybe if I can find Askyre again I'll somehow convince the imp to poof over and figure out what makes you tick!
*turns to Faye and raises an eyebrow* No bloodletting? But that's what I do best! *smiles to make the words a joke*
*turns back to the orb* Pepperoni? I could easily slice and dice you if you wanted pepperoni, though the result might not be something easy to stomach!
((Ah... *nods* Just as my signature thing to do is pouncing people and collecting IM usernames...))

Hey! Making fun of me while I'm gone and calling Zach something like that? Why you little- *sends his own little whirlwind, almost falling off of his feet from not trying anything like it before while glaring at the orb*
Caine, I think you should hit it as hard as you possibly can... *grumbles and snuggles*
*blinks at Kerin and attempts a shy smile, waving innocently* Exactly! *turns back to Jacob* See? They're nice and not greedy! *ponders going to wherever the other side of the mirror was and ripping the boy to shreds, growling lowly*
>Edit: But Fayee... Blood's fun! I'd show you, but things I can rip up are too far away right now... *casts another glare to the orb* And you do so! Gosh... Sometimes you make me feel like i'm in special ed... especially with the unicorns, faries, and other silly... happity butterfly things...<

*laughs at irony* yes, I am one of the little selkies
As for salesmen, all you're out for is to make money fast.
Ans as for the blood shedding I'm all for killing polar bears!

Merchants? You mean the broken-down old peddlers with the carts and stuff? Um, no! We're established! We've built our own network of chain stores and people come to us. We're in demand. Hence the need for more raw materials. Can't Reduplicate them forever, they end up breaking down, and we use only the best of the best.
Swivels and hovers around Caine. Oh, is that a threat, sword boy? My animated soldiers will make mincemeat of it. And if they don't, the little friends that guard the money drawer will--
Suddenly, the Eye is pelted with wind, causing it to blow into Caine and send out sparks angrily.
You see?! See what he made me do! It's ALL his fault! ALL of it! He's just trying to ruin me!

*grins at Dai* Well then that's starts off meetin' each other on a good foot! No?
*twists towards Faye as she speaks* Technically speakin', I'm one of the big and ugly ones. Now, add the Orcas to that list and I'm totally agreeing. I go up to the north and the stupid whales keep trying to eat me when I'm mindin' my own business huntin' penguins.
*glances back towards the orb as it speaks, making a face* Oh come on. I like those old merchants. Always have exactly what we're needin'. They get our money. Not you salesmen with your fancy dohickies that we aren't wantin'.

*nods at Kerin's words and grabs the orb again*
Just because you were blown off course doesn't mean it's any fault of Dai's. And I could probably make mincemeat out of you before any reinforcements come along. That's what Ta'ar is good at, after all! *swipes a finger at the empty air and creates a tear in the fabric of space/time* Easy.
((I'm sooooo channeling my original Caine with that demon magic...))
And Faye... We're all crazy here!

*turns to Kerin* Oh please, the seal lions are by far the worst. And I do agree about the orcas.
*swivels to face the orb thing* Will you please stop with all the dramatics! You really are a drama queen and if you were here now instead of in the orb I might have smacked you.
