As I am sure many of you are aware at this point there seem to be quite a few cultural differences here that many of us are slowly trying to accustom ourselves to upon arriving on El Nysa.
One of the more obvious ones is this planets interests in celebrating ones own... lascivious tendencies.
Surely I can't be the only one to be moderately agitated by the constant barrage of aphrodisiac laced trickery, both man-made and natural on this planet.

I suppose what I'm trying to bring to discussion is, everyone's personal responses to what's forced upon us. Especially those of us who live in Wyver who have no way to avoid it every time the end of the month roles around. You know, since it seems to be a time based situation over Olympia's more location based magic.

[Surely he can't be the only person perturbed by all these darn aphroevents.]

Comments

[meinwaifu]

Oh, I was hoping you'd say that! It saves me the trouble of explaining to my employers in Olympia why I've taken an interest in Wyver's brand of magic! A man needs to eat, after all -- I can't afford to work off the clock for free.

[A man needs to eat -- a demon, considerably less so. But he could always use another cashcow tbh. Gotta fund his various vices somehow.]

[smithandwesson]

Obviously. I'm not such an inhuman person that I wouldn't make you work without incentive.

[He just appreciates the importance of working to benefit ones self.

Let's say, 200 silver per week with regular updates on how it's coming along at the end of the month.

[Which gives him an excuse to escape Wyver during the full moon.]

[meinwaifu]

[Sanzo, no, he's making this way too easy--]

Hmm, that sounds fair to me! Of course, as a spell designed to counteract the effects of the moon, I imagine I won't be able to conduct proper research until the next full moon occurs.

And when that times comes-- naturally, I'll need a subject who experiences discomfort with the moon's effects to test it on! Seeing as this is a spell being made for your benefit, shall I assume you'd be a willing test subject?

[smithandwesson]

Pass.

[Gosh Mephisto, he's not that gullible. A prude, most certainly, but he'd like think he's a fairly competent business man.]

If you are that inept at finding capable volunteers though it would be more than easy for me to scrounge some up for you.

[meinwaifu]

[If he were that foolish, Mephisto night have just strung him along for a few months before earnestly searching for a counter spell... but he can work with this.]

I do live in Olympia, you know. I don't make unnecessary trips to Wyver if I can avoid it.

But I sure you've already heard from at least a few refugees who might also wish to avoid the effects of the moon! Finding volunteers should be no problem for you!

[smithandwesson]

All the better that I am not the guineapig then. Seeing as I am currently incapable of entering Olympia any time soon.

[Especially any place near Simwe Institute, which Sanzo has a strange feeling is your place of work.]

I can already think of a few who may show interest in aiding the endeavor. Depending on their response we can start working immediately.

[meinwaifu]

[Well now, that's just suspicious! But a demon is the last person to judge.]

Excellent! I'll be sure to let you know once I have a prototype to test, so you can pass along my contact information. Naturally, I'll have to wait for the full moon before I can do any legitimate research.

But I should clarify: a spell to counteract a spell is one thing. But for instances of ingesting a drug that induces similar effects, creating a spell to protect from such a thing will be far more difficult. But considering it's far easier for one to become more vigilant of what they choose to partake in versus avoiding moonlight, I'll be focusing my research on the latter.

Unless you'd simply like something to drastically weaken your libido-- but I wouldn't recommend it.

[smithandwesson]

[His intentions are the purest and holiest bestowed to unto him by the Great Buddha himself. There's no reason to question anything.]

I already have one volunteer lined up, working on recruiting more for variables sake.

As for developing a potion being slightly more difficult, I understand that to be the case and am willing to recruit someone who specializes in such if you need the help.

[He's just casually going to ignore the libido comment.]
