> "Thank you. That is terrific. Sounds like I missed a pact entirely. Is it alright if I ask for a couple more clarifications?"
TAXES: PERHAPS.
> "You mentioned something tampering with the taxes? What's that all about? How would that not get caught? ...Was it something I did? Why was that thing in my inventory? Also, if it wasn't the thingy, then what could have killed me?"
TAXES: THUS, ALL IT SAYS ON YOUR CERTIFICATE: A BOOKSHELF HAD TOPPLED UPON YOU AND YOUR CARAPACE CRUMPLED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF DOZENS OF TOMES.
> "I figured- but what could have knocked the shelf over?"
TAXES: IT MUST HAVE BEEN WEIGHED DOWN BY THE UNCOUNTABLE PAGES YOU OWN.
> "It was pretty stable. I doubt it."
TAXES: OTHERWISE, IT WAS AN INSTANCE OF CHAOTIC MAGIC, THEN. THOUGH, THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE, BECAUSE THAT IS PROHIBITED.
> "If... uh... hypothetically, I DID own chaotic magic stuff... I would scan everything for chaotic magic, then put it somewhere else, away from my sensitive information. I would never store anything in there if I don't know exactly what it does and how."
TAXES: PERHAPS YOU COULD TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?
> "It might have been one of those 'thingies' that knocked it over."
TAXES: I PROMISE THAT YOU DESCRIBED THAT WHICH NEVER EXISTED. I REFUSE TO ENTERTAIN THAT WHICH DOES NOT EXIST.
> "Okay, then. If hypothetically, such a thing DID exist, what would I be up against?"
TAXES: ALAS, THIS IS SOMETHING I MAY DIVULGE NOT TO MORTALS. IF YOU WANT FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE MATTER, I BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE A COLLEAGUE OF A DEMONIC SPIRITUAL NATURE.
You keep a mental note of this. You're suspecting a serious problem and definitely going to bring this up in the mortal world.
> "Are there any other developments or obstacles I should know about?"
TAXES: I AM LESS INTIMATE WITH THE TRIBULATIONS OF THE MORTAL PLANE THAN MY OWN.
(All you hear is "figure it out yourself")
> "...Is that an obstacle I should know about?"
TAXES: BONE HELL IF I KNOW.
