"I guess that makes sense. Do you have to touch it with your bare skin or will it work in a pocket?"

"I don't think I've checked that yet, actually." She drops the rock in her pocket and tries it.

It does not work that way.

"Okay, pocket is no good, it might actually have to be in my hand in particular . . ." She tries with it stuffed down her sock, touching her ankle.

Doesn't work!

"Looks like I specifically have to be holding it, which makes sense given the way I designed it. So having the keywords in French was probably an excess of caution." She shrugs, fishes the rock back out of her sock and holds it out. "Want to try it?"

"Yeah," breathes Brenda, holding out her hand.

Margaret hands over the rock and watches excitedly.

"Cash?" says Brenda, who doesn't speak a lick of French - and she's gone.

Margaret bounces excitedly!

"And what's the other one -" says Brenda's disembodied voice.

"Cesser."

"Seh-say," repeats Brenda, and she's back. "I might say the first one by accident but I wouldn't say the second, that's probably the right way around for it to be."

"Cool. And that one's just a proof of concept, I can make you a custom one with whatever keywords you want to use. I'm planning to do it on rings or necklaces and sell them over the internet."

"You're going to be so rich. Are you just going to buy cheap ones or what - the jewelry I mean -""

"That's the plan, yeah, getting rich. And I'm probably going to have to get cheap ones for the first few, because I don't have much starting capital, but I bet I'll be able to charge more if I have nicer pieces, so I'll want to buy some of your stuff once I can afford it."

"I mean, my stuff isn't that expensive as jewelry goes."

"I don't really want to go into the high-end jewelry business though, if I buy some really fancy thing and nobody wants that specific thing as an invisibility item I'm out the money . . . I might want to offer custom orders, do you take commissions? Or know how to find someone who does?"

"I take commisssions!"

"Cool! I need to, like, make a webpage now, I guess. I have no clue how to run a business."

"Oh, I run my own website for the jewelry, I can do one for you. It's not hard if you'd rather just do your own though."

"Maybe you can do it and show me how? And then I'll know if I ever want to redo it or something."

"Sure. The domain name and hosting will cost money."

"How much money? I should make sure I have a month or two of hosting saved up in advance."

"It's more expensive if you buy it by the month. Do you maybe want to like, sell one to somebody in this Avalon, and then use the money for it?"
