Uncrupulous Proposal [video/action maybe]

To the individuals who are faced with the problem of corporeal displacement: I may have a solution to your problem.

Though that solution is not without it's own challenges.

Regardless, if the thought of manifesting some semblance of your past selves is appealing, I will leave my scroll open.

For those that do find their current situation tolerable, feel free to disregard this message.

Good day.

Okay, what're ya doin'.

That question requires further elaboration. Of what do you wish to know more about?

[ She holds up four fingers on her paw. ]

What. [ She puts one down. ] Are. [ Another one. ] You. Doing. [ The final two. ]

[She had a feeling it was something like that.]

Talking.

Less literal, more details. Ya better fess up ta whatever sorta deal yer offerin' here. Talk fast.

'm gonna find ya else.

Find me, then.

If you dare.

["Manifesting some semblance of your past selves"...? What does that even mean?]

So what's the catch?

[Besides the manifesting part since he has no idea what she's talking about there.]

I have no desire to catch anyone. [Ever the literal-minded.]

I would desire some compensation for my efforts.

Right, and that would be...?

I can appreciate your prudence. I wish that more of your number would be equally so.

Allow me to state, then, that I do not know what arrangement I have had in mind. Simply that should I uncover a task that requires your knowledge, abilities, or flesh, that I would be suitably reciprocated.

Thanks... I think. [He's not quite sure if that's supposed to be a compliment.] Well if you figure out what you want me for, could you tell me? I would rather not realize while my body's being swapped back that you now own my soul or something.

...soul. Your essence?

I guess? Either way I'm not selling it.

What need would I have for it?

[The body she's currently in may not be familiar but the voice might be.]

What kind of solution do you have in mind?

[Asked with a healthy does of suspicion. She's still trying to figure out who caused this in the first place and admittedly those who offer possible solutions with catches are going to find themselves on her suspects list.]

[She squints for a moment but the eyes open and she nods in recognition. Then, she lowers her horn down before the screen as it glows purple.]

[Her eyes rise and she speaks in Yang's voice.]

"This. But I would think any solution is better than no solution at all."

[Her gaze slims at that. Thankfully while she's in Jaune's body, her eyes lack the ability to shift to red, but they certainly would have at the sound of her voice coming from someone else.]

Just the voice?

[Call her greedy but she was actually hoping for something more visual. Speaking with her own voice while still stuck in Jaune's body doesn't seem like much of an improvement.

Hold up a second though.]

How are you doing that?

[She continues to speak in Yang's voice.]

"Did I not say that I am Yg'baladoth, the Lingering Murmur? That fluctuation of chaos that is called sound is my medium. I am the master of it, and all sound bends to my will."

[She closes her eyes again and speaks in her own voice, for now.]

To me, such an act is as simple as donning a new accessory upon my mane.

[Well having her own voice thrown at her isn't going to get irritating fast. She relaxes a tic when the girl stops using her voice but only just.]

Impressive.

[Also really creepy.]

Now are you just offering this as a concerned, helpful citizen or is there something you're asking for in return?

[She does recall a mention of "challenges", although she guesses that could just as easily relate to the challenge of speaking with the right voice while still in the wrong body.

But she's too well aware of the concept of tit for tat to assume there isn't some sort of catch here.]

[Hmm... she looks down at that. Surely the beings of order were not unfamiliar with exchanges? Still, having any consideration at all was better than no alternatives...]

[Still, the way the girl phrased it made it seem as though she was in need of whatever exchange would be offered, when that was furthest from the truth. She didn't need anything, but the concept of giving, even something small and inconsequential, was more than any of her kind was accustomed to providing.]

Of course I would want something in return for my services. Even your kind knows of the value of trade. Or is self-sacrifice yet another expectation of friendship?

I am not convinced we are friends to begin with anyway.

[She was starting to wonder the benefit of friendship at all, at this rate.]

No, it's not an expectation. That's up to the persons involved to choose whether they wish to or not. However, you don't need to be friends with someone to do something kind for them.

[That's delivered sincerely, but rather bluntly. She's kinda not in the best of moods to discuss how friendship works. However, she doesn't sound like she's asking for a handout. In fact, at this point, she'd probably be surprised if that were the case.]

But that's fine. I do understand how trade works.

Very well. Know however that I do not have any specified object or service that I desire at present. You may, of course, offer to provide some object that you deem suitable, but barring that I would have to request a reciprocation of services in the future.

I don't have anything of monetary value on me other than the bits they use here. What kind of services are we talking about?

[Depending on the task, she might just be interested, but "services" in of itself is an awful broad term.]

I do not know at present.

[...]

I'll think about it.

[There's too little return here for her to be desperate enough to agree on a whim. And she's not fool enough to make a deal without knowing what's going to be asked of her later anyway. Furthermore, she'd continue to be stuck in Jaune's body regardless.]

And if you figure out something you want from me so far as services go, let me know.
