[ Having gained some confidence with this fancy tech over the week, Jaskier’s content enough to finally present his baby face to his adoring public, casual in his old school medieval shirt, unlaced to show part of his chest like the total hunk he believes himself to be. He begins with a soft throat clear, his voice carrying like a theatre performer, each word animated. ]

Greetings citizens of Maurtia Falls and beyond! It is I, Jaskier, your beloved bard, here to fill your undoubtedly mundane and murky lives with my brilliant light!

[ A perfect way to introduce himself is to neg everyone listening, right? ]

I seek heroes!

Yes, yes, each and every one of us has been granted such a title, but I require only the best, only the truly worthy among you to share my blessed company. In return, I promise authentic retellings of your adventures to all those that would listen. Stories to make a man weep, songs to get the crowds rejoicing, and poems so passionate that maidens will be lifting their petticoats at the mere mention of your name.

I will consider each applicant in a timely and fair manner, although a drink and some coin as cajolery wouldn’t go amiss.

[ A pause before he quickly admits: ] Bribes. I take bribes.

Thank you, and good day!

Oh no, I want the full bard show experience.

[Don't worry Jaskier, M is a good-natured asshole but he's good with his money--there will be a generous tip involved at the end.]

What else do you need?

[borntobebard]

[ The full bard show experience, ey? Jaskier smirks, nods, but doesn't say much more on the matter. He's a professional, see, he knows what a bard experience is. ]

I believe I have everything I could possibly need to make one of my greatest pieces of work yet! I doubt I'll need longer than an evening to finalise the finishing touches. [ He's already got something brewing. ]

Provide your finest bottle of wine to go with my performance, along with a location, and I can be there as early as tomorrow.

Take all the time you need, and I'll bring the boy, my booze, and an apartment filled with things that might make your head spin whenever you're ready.

[borntobebard]

Sounds like quite the party. I suppose I'll be in touch shortly.

( ooc: ok but lmk if you wanna action it, or log, or ic contact, or handwave. whatever you wanna do, fam! )

[heliophilic]

Hopefully you know how to reach me.

I suppose I'll take carrier pigeon too, if that's more your speed.

(ooc: CnC is going to suck for M, so he will call Jaskier up at some point for that song when he's feeling a bit better in February. If you prefer to handwave, let me know!)

[borntobebard]

Oh, I think I can just about manage these communicators. Until then, dear friend.

( ooc: i'm good with some feb cheer up tags when M is ready. the song is ready and waiting, fam. )
