Dearest Molly,

As I said last eventide, simply allowing the Minstrels to perform was payment enough for myself.

However, upon returning to the Garden, I realized that Rryn needed a new dress, and Mallory wanted some gold rolling pins, and Cat wanted more cookies and wine, and Stephani just wanted to be left alone in the corner, and Scribble wanted a new ... (scratches through man) Perhaps you get my point.

My troupe is growing by the week, and need to be properly fed and clothed. With this in mind, I have thus prepared an itemized bill for our services rendered.

Bill of Services

For services rendered unto Molly and the House of Gauntlet expressly for the Ball on January 2.

$25,000 gold

This incorporates our usual nominal appearance fee. We waived any additional fees for bouncers or door greeters.

We do however require additional funds for the following:

1. Purchasing of drinks:

$10,000 gold (I happen to be a tall thirsty man)

2. Dealing with known sticks in the mud who drain the fun out of any party:

$5,000 gold ... Unity
$5,000 gold ... Sue Michelle
$5,000 gold ... Ithene the Cat for running out while a Minstrel tried to sing a song for him

3. Costume expenses:

$20,000 gold

4. Travel expenses:

$10,000 gold

5. Staging and Choreography

$5,000 gold

6. Imported beard wax

$5,000 gold

7. Copyright barristers on call

$5,000 gold

8. Nominal fee for untendered services with Mr. Willow (I did not get to butt heads with him)

$2,500 gold

9. One stripper by the name of Cherry DeLite

$2,500 gold (she came freely but Papa Poet's poppets need new clothes and shoes (Even if Ms. DeLite does not feed them.))

10. My bail money and services of a bondsman

$5,000 gold

[fine print]

All moneys collected will be dispersed to the Garden Orphan fund.

Raises a brow as she reads the bill and chuckles as she reads the comments. Speaking aloud

Still a pirate!

Giggles and writes out an order to the treasury for the amount requested and an order for the squire to deliver it the following day. She attaches a note to a very dusty bottle of scotch to be delivered with the gold.

"For the leader of the pack."

She sits back and chuckles laying her pen down and dismissing the messenger.
