[Sephiroth regards him coolly over his coffee.]

I imagine it's the carrot.

New arrivals are greeted with luxury and apparent generosity, coloring our impression of the guilds, and encouraged to sign on. But I've no interest in the accompanying oversight and obligation.

[The carrot, Sephirot says, and the way Jaskier grunts his understanding would make Geralt proud. It makes sense, but just because it's a carrot it doesn't mean...]

So-called generosity may still come with fine print. They said not aligning with any of them may mean trouble for my identity - how is that working for you, if you are sticking to your right to staying out of it?

[He shrugs, lightly.]

My time here hasn't quite run out yet, but I don't think getting by in this world will be so difficult.

I expect the trouble would come from the guilds, should you make yourself too visible. They seemed to take unnecessary issue with even minor vandalism.

[The worst he did was cut someone's car in half, honestly.]

[rollstoseduce]

[That makes him snort.]

I hope you realize you just described the average city guard. Is that the worst they can do? Stop what they consider "crime"? [He shakes his head.] It begs the question: who is actually in control here? The actual government or these guilds?

[unkindled_madness]

While I don't see much separation between the guilds and this world's government, I haven't determined the degree of power they wield within it. It does seem considerable.

I imagine they would have been more forceful had I actually killed anyone.
