[ Duh: ]

Paying customers.

[ And here Dorian just splutters for a bit before, ]

You can't mass-market immortality! At least, certainly not my sort.

[jacksonian]

Why not?

[brushoff]

It's... [ crass? something that wouldn't make Dorian special? ]

It's a two way street. If you don't get the other party to agree with it, you're left with nothing. Honestly, if you want to market immortality, stick with something simple: vampirism.

There are drawbacks to vampirism. Anyway, I'd be marketing this to Jacksonians. For them, the possibility of a Deal is an incentive, not something to be afraid of.

Are there any of your Jacksonians here in the first place?

[jacksonian]

I want to take it home, obviously. [ Then - ] I'd use it to make sure you're rich too.

Considering I'm staying here for as long as I can, that might be a slight problem. Have fun trying to wire funds through different worlds.

[ He shrugs. ]

It's only a matter of time before this technology is reverse engineered and put to work for us. So that's exactly what I'll do.

That'll work for the funds. But again, mine is magical. How much magical nonsense does your world have to begin with?

[jacksonian]

None yet. Maybe lots, sooner rather than later.

[brushoff]

Let me guess: plan on selling magic as well?

video;

[jacksonian]

Possibly. It depends.

[brushoff]

Oh what? Go on, give me a hint.

[ He shifts, a little uncomfortable. This isn't exactly something he wants to discuss with Dorian, who tends to disdain most softness and sentimentality. So: ]

A lot of things. Including how I feel at the time.

[ Dorian sighs an exceedingly, overdramatic sigh ]

Well fine. I suppose I can wait.
