Someone volunteer to take care of my new goat.

No payment or reward offered beyond the knowledge that you have kept it alive.

And what exactly do these services entail?

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, [inkblot] I would feed it. And check it for diseases [inkblot] periodically. Make sure it gets enough exercise. [another inkblot] among other things.

[How the Hell do you take care of a goat?]

[3potionproblem]

In other words, you'd find some idiot to work for a lesser fee for you to do the actual dirty work.

[bonafide_divinity]

Of course not, Holmes! What would make you think that? After all, what's to stop you from going directly to the idiot I would employ for a lesser fee. I can assure you that I will be performing any and all goat-caring tasks on my own.

[Although that's wouldn't be a bad idea if enough people decided to pawn their goats off on him. He'll be keeping that in mind.]

[3potionproblem]

How much?

[bonafide_divinity]

Give me a moment to think on this, Holmes. You've always struck me as a respectable, upstanding individual, so I'd really hate to fleece you.

How much are you paying for replacement goats?

[3potionproblem]

A couple Galleons. Nothing outlandish.

[Not for him.]

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, I'll do some calculations just to figure out how much time goat care is realistically going to take and how many goats you'd be likely to kill over the next few months and I'll get right back to you with my rates.

It's a pleasure doing business with you.

[3potionproblem]

Potentially.
