Alvin will have acquired his own little carrier pigeon to send messages, so he'll have one stationed at the main carrier pigeon place that will come and find him.

In the meanwhile, this is the entry for any private messages that are delivered via the carrier pigeon system.

[ Eh?! ]

Who are you sending!?

[opportunitycosts]

[Pft.]

Haven't really "sent" anyone, but me and Presa were down there earlier and talked about the idea. Probably would be a while before I could really set up anything, but it's definitely something I'll try and pursue.

[gottacatch]

Well, [ uhh, uhh ] wouldn't the best thing be to get someone down there right away? What about recipes? Did you grab any along the way? I mean, being the first to offer authentic Shaarnath meals in Verens screams money even to a guy like me!

[opportunitycosts]

[...Uh huh. Alvin is just going to sit there a moment before he grins a bit.]

What are you trying to say, Red? Offering your own services?

[gottacatch]

I don't mind lending a hand since we're good friends, but what you really need is a top notch food connoisseur to go down and decide what you really need!

So even if he doesn't happen to have any holidays he can use right now, [ or does; heck if Red knows (probably, that workaholic) ] you should let me take Cilan on a business trip down below! With my services included!

[opportunitycosts]

And if I said no?

[Alvin actually won't, but he's finding Red's earnestness here amusing.]

[gottacatch]

'No'-?

[gottacatch]

[ WAIT HE KNOWS WHAT ALVIN IS DOING. ]

Then I'll take him anyway, and he can take everything he learns to another restaurant if you think about firing him!

[ Take that!! ]

[opportunitycosts]

[Haha ATTA BOY RED.]

Whoa now, threatening competition on me, are you?

[But still, clearly amused so not taking seriously.]

Even so, personally I'm fine with it. But it's not me you should be asking.

[gottacatch]

It isn't? Don't you do the paperwork?

[ Doesn't stuff like this come under paperwork... ]

[opportunitycosts]

It's less about paperwork and more of the head chef who actually rules over the other little ones that's the real hurdle.

Milla has the control over the kitchen, including those who work under her. She has as much say about it as I do, so you'll have to ask her if it will be okay.

[Said in a voice that clearly indicates that he thinks this will go great. Well it might. Milla will probably think it fine.]

[gottacatch]

[ Don't use that kind of voice with him...! He doesn't know if you're serious!! ]

Hey, even I'll help Cilan out! For free! So you can get her blessing for us and we'll have pages of recipes back with us before you know it!

[ Red knows you don't mess with pretty ladies! ]

[opportunitycosts]

Hey now, why am I being the messenger pigeon. Your idea—you talk to her.

[gottacatch]

I don't mind asking her... but wouldn't it be better if someone who works at the restaurant asked her than a guy who doesn't? And you're better at business words than me--you can make it sound like a good idea!

[ Red thinks it's a great idea, but that's the part where he gets to drag a friend to indulge in his Expert Hobby than actually knowing if anything he's said to Alvin doesn't sound like one big joke.

It's somewhere inbetween. ]

[opportunitycosts]

[Pffft.]

All right, fine, I'll talk to her.

[gottacatch]

Thanks Alvin! [ There is totally more gratitude here than there should be. ] Let me know if there's anything you want from down there!

[opportunitycosts]

I think I'll leave it up to Cilan for now since he's a cook. But after I see what all they have, I'll be sure to let you know.

Well, actually now that I say that—see if they have any spicy stuff, like any different peppers or herbs. I feel like we're lacking a bit in that department.
