[He can laugh if he wants to. And may still be laughing now, because you keep saying things that crack him the fuck up.
So yeah, it'll be a few more minutes before he starts typing back, not the least because Steven has to ask Thace about Runaan.]
Merch prep isn't an everyday thing, thank God. We aren't selling out so fast as all that. It's a couple of hours a week right now--cooking the herb is a multi-day process--and it's mostly just tedious, to be honest. I'd listen to podcasts while I did it. But I think you may have noticed that our secret menu is all *hella expensive* compared to the public one. Sure, gloom juice is the worst, because we have to pay Hythlo and then mark it up to make a profit, but the other two are marked up because cooking persim herb is a *pain*.
But I *do* like you, so I will turn a blind eye if not all of the finished product makes it below the counter, as long as a reasonable amount is still there. That is to say, don't skim off more than 5-10% of any given batch? And come February we can talk about if you want to keep on doing merch prep while being paid for it.
As for Thace... Chloe. Mija. You know that seven-foot-tall guy who's always hanging around? The one with the great hair and the gold eyes, who doesn't cover up his hickeys? The one that keeps helping us open? *That's* Thace. I mean, I get it. You usually just hear me calling him 'bebe.' But he *does* have a name.
That said, I'm asking him about Runaan and he suggests something practical, like food for him and his pokemon or insulated blankets or a waterproof tarp. And also that whatever you send, you probably should add a note where you imply but don't actually state that you're not human.
According to Thace, and I quote, Runaan "has an at least partially justified suspicion of humans from his own world that's grown into an unjustified hatred of the whole species." Thace is working on it with him? But it's slow going. (He's okay with Thace, because Thace is a space alien back home.)
