-The Clockwork Machine continued- Mortals are not permitted in this bar, unless for the entertainment for our Magical inclined guests. However, the veil shifted for you. Allowing you in, and choosing you as the Bartender. The true name is Agent of Books. You book, and keep order to the aging done in this bar. Nothing can be done without the hit being out. You keep track....-It said, looming over her, and then hoisting her up. It's two star filled eyes beaming into Patty's own eyes- You are chosen, because you accepted what happened as fact. The one in grey figured out this, hence why he called you a bartender, and pointed this out multiple times. -It looked over to Amos; Amos himself was busy looked at Endorpha-
Oh don't worry, my dear wishmaster. The robot has nothing to do with you or I, all it want is for Patty to accept her role, or it shall make her. -he said simply as he looked at The older woman with a wicked expression-

Endorpha whispered over at Amos "No I know that - but I care about what happens to Patty and honestly I always feel a bit... squeamish when a big gun comes out to assert its will in any capacity." She explains honestly.
Patty tosses up her hands as if she surrenders. "That shit sounds like the description of my old job at the cab company! So instead of dealing with a bunch of regular assholes I have to deal with a bunch of magical assholes.... fine, fine! I'll be your book keeper. Been doing it for over 40 years why not? On TWO conditions! One - I get as many free drinks as I want at the end of my shifts and TWO - I should have retired a couple years ago, I don't know how much gas I got left in the tank... but I see what you all can do and you mr. big shot seem like a top dog around here so I want you to make me 21 again. I was a real hottie at 21 and I'll have the energy you need to get the job done day in and day out if you make my body 21 but keep my mind as-is! Deal?"
Endorpha smiled impressed. "The ladies got some brass ones. Actually negotiating terms!"

-There was a long pause. Long and very silent. The voice would change. It no longer sounded like a powerful all knowning being, but more like GLaDOS from Portal at this point- I find those terms good. Now, mind you, burning your liver out isn't covered in recovery. And if you are unkind on your body it will show terribly in the future, but I think you're fine with that. -It would say as Patty would feel like her body would be filled with energy, and her mind seemed to be at the same pace as a woman in her 60's would have. Just ask promised-

The frumpy looking older woman suddenly felt herself rejuvenate. Fat melted off her body giving her the trim petite figure she had before she gave birth to kids, her breasts perked up and shrunk a bit, her face smoothed out and her lips became plump and pouty. Her hair turned a more vibrant red and flowed down her shoulders. She looked at her young smooth hands and felt her face happily and then her waist, looking down at her slender toned legs with a proud grin. She shot the being before her a thumbs up.
"All right! This is what i'm talking about!" She said with a now higher pitched youthful voice. She jumped up happily. "So I hang around as "bar tender" since more folks here can actually just conjour what they want and my real job is keeping track of all the jobs going around? Someone wants to make their ex old, I find a fella who can do it and then I make sure that fella gets paid. Got it. Someone does some mess like that age wave out in California I figure out whose responsible and let you know so that heads will roll. I can do this boss!" She said in a perky tone that she hadn't had in decades.

Patty turned around to see the handsome man doing paperwork in the corner. "Oh I didn't even see you there! Uh okay cool! Thanks! Wow, I didn't realize how exhilarating becoming 21 again would feel. I have so much energy and like no aches and pains at all! So anything I should do to start? Like any cases to look over or should I just wait at the bar looking cute and wait for people to come up to me and file jobs?" She asked with a perky smile.Endorpha had also forgotten Grim was there, probably because if he doesn't want you to see him he's not noticible . She wiggled her fingers at him flirtatiously. "Hiiiii Grim. You gonna call me some time or what?" "Oy! You there Amos Crow isn't it! What the hell are you doin' showing your face around here! I've got a bone to pick with you." A brutish silver-haired man in an elaborate cloak lumbers up from his booth over to the bar.Name: Augustus Smythe

Attachment Deleted-Amos was abuzz with joy and excitment. Another stranger who knew him?! More than that, must of been a customer that seemed to have maybe had a "rough" go of things. This man didn't seem familiar, but his eyes locked with Augustus, and his grin never dropped- Well hello there stranger? Am I not supposed to be here? Personally I go where and when I choose. So, maybe you should tell me who you are?

"What? No, I don't give a shit where you drink you stinkin' imp. You have some nerve forgetting my mug after you stole my harem right out from under me. Turkey, about 140/150 years ago. I had a nice collection of pretty little minxes that waited on me hand and foot. My wives they were, until you came through and one by one they went missing!" The brutish man explains slapping an empty mug down on the bar violently.

Grim looks at Endorpha with an awkward smile.
He is simply terrible when it comes to relationships. He's a hopeless romantic with the worst track record. Especially with magical beings!
"It's... uh, nice to see you, Endorpha." Grim coughs. "By the way, Patty, you should know, you'll sometimes get Matchmaking Cases. Take a seat, I'll explain the process in detail. You'll need this information, trust me."

Attachment DeletedOh ho, friend! I remember those women, and if I'm not in correct, I set them free because they wished it. They wished to be free and away from you. -His laughing calmed down, as he continued- And I gave them what they wanted. Perhaps you should have been a kinder and sweeter love, my friend.

Patty nods enthusiastically running over to the accountants desk. She sits on the stool next to him crossing her girlish legs. She runs her hand down how smooth and toned they are now and then out of curiosity slips her black flat off and wiggles the toes of her young pristine foot. "God this is so awesome! I can't even remember the last time I didn't have to worry about bunions!" She said happily and then folds her hands on her knee to give Grim her full attention.

"You gave them what they wanted? When I finally tracked them down they were all sleeping in a tent with YOU!... and you had turned them all into old hag!" Augustus bellowed.

"There are three types of Matchmaking." Grim sticks out three fingers. "We call them hunter, hunted, and revenge."
He slides a red file, which says hunter, a blue, which reads hunted, and a yellow file, that says revenge, at Patty.
"They are all transformation requests, but a hunter case means a magical user is searching for a victim to transform. You'd help the magical user find their perfect toy. A revenge case means a mortal wishes to transform another mortal, you'd be helping them find the ideal magical being. And a hunted... well... pfft...there are some mortals with... uh, transformation fetishes. You're going to help them find their perfect magical being to fulfill their deepest desires. That sound good?"

Patty takes the files onto her lap and licks her thumb flipping open the blue file to read the first dossier. "Pffft, there are actually people who WANT to be magically transformed? Like what some girl is getting too many ass-grabs on campus and so she wants a demon to turn her into a granny so she can study in peace?" She asks finding the hunted category bizarre. Now the Hunter and Revenge categories, those Patty could certainly wrap her head around and sink her teeth into. She had to admit that she felt almost as exhilarated watching those two cheerleaders age and wither as she did getting her own youth back. She was going to enjoy her work.

"You'd be surprised how many hunted cases you'll come across. Back in the old days, there were just angels and demons. The Light and dark. Good and Evil. But mankind showed up and boom! We've got fallen angels, reformed demons, and everything in between!"
Grim laughs, thinking about his ex, Lucifer.
"The point is, some of you guys get off on weird shit. And that's okay, believe me, I'm not judging!" Grim puts his hands up defensively. "That being said, hunted cases are always privileged. Not like revenge. It's funny, but... well, 80% of the time, more or less, the mortal who made a revenge request gets punished in the end. Irony, we can call it. But hunted? In agreement between the Council of Angels, the Demon Alliance, the Grey Spirits Federation, and the Cosmic Union of Theater, hunted applicants are good people... with a fetish. They're strictly reward cases."
