Notes: Henry's network object takes the form of a book, that looks nearly identical to the tome Grima's Truth. So as a default, all responses from him are handwritten (text). Where noticeable, his handwriting would show up as a small, casual-looking script that's more precise than may be initially apparent. Occasional bloodstains may or may not be involved.

Hey-o, Monty!

And that totally depends on the hex! Some last longer than others, and even I'd be hard pressed to make something infinite. Uh, I guess that translates to 'maybe!'

[poisoninmypocket]

We're looking for a killing hex. Not for people, but for anything living or dangerous in contaminated water. Mr. Zexion and I would like to see to restoring the aqueduct that once ran from this settlement to a nearby lake, or so it would appear from Mr. Hanekoma and Accelerator's comments. The water is not clean at the moment, though. We have few options for purification, but I thought a creative application of your abilities might suit if it can act more continuously than whatever means Accelerator has for it.

[necrowmantic]

A killing hex, huh... you sure came to the right guy!

I can totally whip something like that up! I dunno if it'll be completely permanent, but it should last a good while if it's just killing small stuff. Easy peasy.

I think putting something into the lake itself would work best, along with wherever it comes out here. That'll probably kill the most.

[poisoninmypocket]

[Monty hadn't considered putting anything directly into the lake, but... if Henry can do that, it only sounds sensible. Why is he being so completely reasonable? He's mad. Shouldn't he be... suggesting killing people with it, instead?

Monty probably shouldn't suggest that.]

We'll need to actually get the aqueduct or some other sort of pipe and pump functional and laid out to the lake first, but that sounds amazing, sir! Is there anything you'd like in return for doing something to so benefit the company?

[necrowmantic]

[Monty definitely shouldn't suggest that. Henry'd be just as agreeable about that too, though it would at least be a good assurance that yep, still entirely mad.]

Sure thing, just lemme know when you've got it set up and I'll hex it good!

And no... I don't really need anything, but thanks! Besides, having more water around benefits me too.

[poisoninmypocket]

[That is a very welcome response. Monty really hadn't wanted to offer anything unsavory. Well, there's an idea just in case.]

Certainly, Mr. Henry.

I can make quite good food now, if you ever change your mind about recompense and would like a pleasant meal.

[necrowmantic]

[Hey Henry can do all the unsavory things himself, he doesn't need other people to do it for him.]

Well... if you really want to, maybe for a friend or two sometime!

I kinda can't taste anything anymore myself, so it'd just be wasted on me. Unless this is just a roundabout way of asking me to dinner?

[poisoninmypocket]

[Monty's hackles rise immediately.]

No! Not at all. I only meant to give you the food if you wanted it, not share it with you. Please perish the thought!

[necrowmantic]

Nya ha! That's what I thought.

But don't worry about paying me back or nothing, I'm good.

[poisoninmypocket]

Very well, Mr. Henry. I'll look forward to speaking with you when we have need of your abilities.

[Maybe? Apart from that last bit there this... hasn't actually been a terrible conversation. Perhaps it's the lack of glass being thrown at him at the start. Or paradox sex being held over their heads. It may also be the short and direct nature of the request and idea. Best not to let Henry get too creative.]
