Bribery & Blackmail, Juvie Mage Style
In other news, Windy the Kiddy Mage has just approached yet another Glass Walker minding their own business. This time, however, she said something to the effect of "I want ice cream and I know it's not polite to just ask but because you are what you are you'll get me sweets and we can talk about why I'm not supposed to talk about the things I'm not supposed to talk about".
This convoluted paragraph-sentence-thing basically translates to "Here's how it seems to work. I run into adults who are like you (read: werewolves). The adult in question takes me somewhere where we can sit down and get treats. And then they tell me about how I should keep my mouth shut about werewolves and vampires and such. So let's avoid the ducking and diving and get straight to the lecture so I can have ice cream."
Which is blackmail, and an encouragement of bribery. Which would be fine, if I hadn't read through the threads and discovered that the only person who combined treats with lecture (and therefore gave her the ammo for this recent way of dealing with the world) was my damn character.
I think my poor hapless Caregiver has just corrupted the young.
