( wdym you're supposed to introduce yourself via text so people know who they're talking to?? )
I'm looking for a certain type of beaded jewelry. The stone might be called something else here, but it's commonly known as "dragon's blood" for its red color.
( sending over a sneaky pic of ace except he's 1. wearing something that cover his tits and 2. doesn't have his necklace rip π hence why sabo is seeking a replacement because he is a good brother like that. )
To match the ones you see here. Preferably a necklace, but I'd settle for bracelets if it's a hard find.
And don't tell Ace, if you wouldn't mind. I'd like to keep this a surprise.
( which is probably as close as he'll get to saying "hi, this is sabo." )
Well, I can certainly send out some feelers with my sources. I'm not a smuggler these days, but I think I know enough about my old work that it should not be difficult if it exists.
[ but, of course: ]
I'll need something in return, of course. For my trouble.
Perhaps not, but a connection does not mean we have the same relationship.
People know my name, they know my face. They know what I am doing.
Do they have the same of you? Are they saying different things to you? Expressing thoughts that they wouldn't to me? Perhaps it's innocuous, but perhaps it is... dangerous to the entire operation.
I did not get where I was by simply assuming everyone would tell me everything, you know.
( dragon would be disappointed in him for not seeing silco's angle from the start, but he's β well, stressed. to say the least. and nothing seems to be enough to take his mind off the fact that his brother is dying. )
Do you need a double agent or simply reconnaissance?
( he can do both, but he needs to know what he's getting himself into. and for how long. )
Then I will not charge you a fee to rush it, if I am able to take the right amount of time finding it.
[ He really is a businessman in his soul ]
For reconnaissance, I need eyes and ears that can listen to the people while they work and toil. Their places of employment. How they are treated, how they want to be treated.

If the name is different, that will make it difficult. There are many types of red gems.
Do you have an image? Or something I can use? Any cut? Number of beads?

Looking for a gift, then?

Something like that.
What exactly do you need? For you trouble.
no subject
What I'm interested in is favors. Work.
You've been here long enough to become established in some manner of interactions with the locals and other Augmented, haven't you?
no subject
( mostly through ace, but......... that's not important. )
Why? I can't imagine I have any connections you don't already have.

Reconnaissance.
A double agent would require more long-term arrangements. And pay.
Is this a gift? Do you have a timeframe?
no subject
It's more of a replacement.
( but, yes, also a gift. )
Ace lost something similar before he was brought here.
It meant a lot to him, so.
However long it takes.
