There's one for sale! She might be interested in the person advertising (someone reads their sign) "chat room transcripts in Lexori or Hari, weather information, miscellaneous knowledge magic."

Permalink

"Hello, can you understand me?"

Permalink

"I don't do translation. I speak Lexori and Hari. Exav over there is selling a translator today." He gestures in Exav's direction. He is however not mind blanked.

I've come here from another plane where it's the height of bad behavior to go around owning anyone else so I'll have to pass.

Permalink

This adorable fuzzy creature puffs himself up in terror because telepathy is new and new things are terrifying and that's not even touching on the content of the sentence, which - yeah okay that checks out aaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Permalink

Oh no he's so cute. She must not pet him! It would be so illegal!

"If you don't follow local laws like the laws against hurting me, the government can rip you apart and eat the marrow out of your bones. Just so you know."

Permalink

Thanks, someone told me that before but it doesn't hurt to be reminded.

Permalink

"Are you looking for a translator for... reasons I can help with even though I'm not any good at that...?"

Permalink

Possibly! My problem is that I can only understand people by telepathy; I'm only picking up what you mean when you speak, but a lot of people here are too shielded for me to do even that.

Permalink

"I think I could probably help with that but I don't know if I want to. I was thinking of getting some illusions to keep you from reading my mind."

Permalink

That would be reasonable of you, I certainly don't let strangers read my mind if I can help it, but I'm in fact not reading anything besides what you mean when you talk and also that you exist and are you as opposed to some other guy.

Permalink

"Hmm. Who do you want to talk to and what do you want to talk about?"

(Meanwhile, incidentally, the guy from before is now outside, casually leaning against a wall, eating a peach and occasionally glancing in her direction.)

Permalink

I'd like to find a way to make money on my extraplanar abilities without doing anything that would offend all my extraplanar friends.

Permalink

"Well, what are your extraplanar abilities and what'll you offer me to try to figure out what you could do with them?"

Permalink

I don't have much in cash right now but I could offer you some percentage of my first week's income going forward, maybe. I'm a telepath. So I can do this that I'm doing to talk to you, but I can also do things like stop people from having nightmares or flashbacks, or... recreational synaesthesia, or... I could show blind people what someone else was seeing or deaf people what someone else was hearing, say, I can make people feel a little more awake, and if something occurs to you that seems to be of a kind with all of that, I might be able to do that too.

Permalink

"Huh. I could help you put an ad on the noticeboard saying all that if you had an address for people to find you at."

Permalink

Which I don't, since I arrived on this plane just... she's got her watch! This specific amount of time ago.

Permalink

"I could also recommend a hotel but you probably can't pay them either."

Permalink

I don't know how far a ring goes in most contexts; I know one'll buy or sell one question from a specific snake-guy but that could be him hating questions or loving them or the going rate but everyone hates questions or - so a ballpark figure for what a hotel room will cost would be good.

Permalink

For a ring this person will provide a ballpark figure which is more rings than she has.

Permalink

Okay but is it five furniture moving jobs or a thousand of them.

Permalink

Closer to five (especially if she's willing to get a room sized for a smaller species).

Permalink

Would it work to put up the notice and just say to find me in the park, and take it down whenever I do not plan to be in the park?

Permalink

"Yeah, or say to find you in the park at certain times of day."
