[A man with a steely gaze and somewhat suspect manner is offering the troubled network a deal.]

There's a lot of you that are having issues with your powers, from what I can see.

For a fee, I can get to the bottom of what's gone wrong and get your powers back.

Fees are always negotiable.

Easy.

Probably a porter issue.

Saved you the trouble.

[ What a dick. ]

[cadbane]

That doesn't address any individual needs, now does it.

There may be other solutions that are not immediately obvious.

[sleight_of_hand]

Yeah, but they're all tied back to the same core issue in some way. So, ultimately, the end result is to wait it out until the porter ends up fixed.

[cadbane]

Then that can be where my work will start.

[sleight_of_hand]

And cheat people out of their money in the process?

[cadbane]

I didn't build my reputation on cheating. I get results.

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh, so just preying on people that are desperate for quick answers. Okay. That's sooooooo much better.

[cadbane]

If they're willing to pay.

[sleight_of_hand]

And if they're not?

[cadbane]

Then I don't do the job.

[sleight_of_hand]

You're a pretty sick guy, you know that, right?

[cadbane]

I'm just practical.

[momchester]

No you fuckin' can't. Unless you have an in with the Porter that we don't know about.

[cadbane]

It's not smart to be so dismissive when you don't even know what I can do.

[momchester]

Can you override the Porter?

[cadbane]

I can't reveal all my secrets but, for the right price, I can get results.

Take heart, mate; it'll work on someone. I've seen them believe far more unbelievable things than this.

[cadbane]

I'm a bounty hunter, not a con artist.

private

[devoutish]

Are you really?

Then don't make promises you can't fucking keep.

private

[cadbane]

Why do you immediately assume that I can't solve this little problem?

[After all, he does have a reputation back home of being able to tackle the seemingly impossible kind of jobs. Although there may be some overconfidence in this case...]

private

[devoutish]

Because I've been here for more than five fucking minutes, haven't I. I know how this sort of thing goes.

private

[cadbane]

And how does it go?

private

[devoutish]

I'll let you figure that out, I think. Some things a man has got to experience.

But honestly, mate, I hope you're having me on and this is a con after all. If it is, it's fucking brazen.

[And brazen in a way that he can respect.]

private

[cadbane]

We'll just have to see, won't we.

private

[devoutish]

That we will, yeah. That we will.
