Service: Getting killed
Approximate payment required: Pissing me off to the point I want you dead.
Result: I send one of various assassins I control to kill you to death at the soonest possible opportunity, though that's not exactly playerconvenient so it might take several sessions in which you can die beforehand.
Can a game service do this instead: Yes. Emphatically yes. It's a fucking deathgame you
die that's the whole point.
Corruption level: Unnecessary, but you'll probably rack up some if I have to toss 'em to the freebies and they go Speaker.
Fine details/translated contract on offering: n/a
Player-end effort: Pretty low.
Contractor-end effort: Actually goddamn high.
Timeframe: Several sessions. I have to wait for one to roll with you and THEN kill you to death.
Notes: wait this isn't a service?
Service: The Ritual of Sensation
Approximate payment required: you do a fairly easy rite and get stalked on 4evar (deets in filebin)
Result: a specific invoked horrorterror has the ability to stalk your senses as they wish as well as 2-way communicate inside your mind
Can a game service do this instead: I don't think they'd want to where they could, but the game already stalks you nonstop.
Corruption level: Low if performed correctly with permission from the other end, otherwise instant Speaker lol dead. You just collect some ichor from them and ritually get it in some sensory orifices and beyond the point of the ritual itself you can then get the extra corruption hugged out of you from being in contact with all that ichor.
Fine details/translated contract on offering: I don't really have any specific examples off the top of my head but you probably want to ensure that they won't just shitpost broodfester screaming in your head until you go grimdark from insanity alone, or otherwise plant a no-undesired-corruption clause in the negotiations so that they don't collect on the spot.
Player-end effort: Low to medium depending on where the contractor is. If they have an ichor-leaking associated item you can just use that to get it and once you have their permission to establish a connection you can do the rite.
Contractor-end effort: Low to high depending on where the contractor is. If they're nearby enough to provide ichor from their main body or can do it through an item easy peasy otherwise they have to get over there and hand it over which usually requires pinging.
Timeframe: The ritual itself can be performed in under an hour. Ichor acquisition time may vary.
Notes: Do NOT use ichor from a generic multiple-terror associated item such as the Grimoire of the Zoologically Dubious. You pretty much go instantly grimdark from that. Also, the ritual addon to your soul corruptionwise is injected into an inward portion of your shiny to allow passing the replay, along with making it more difficult to surgically remove as well as exempt it from hugging-related purges initially to the point it will take a Heart or Sight player to remove it unless forced out. Some Speakers are made to cast this from specific items to make them especially difficult to cure and if someone's lured into corruption once and performs this rite then subtle thought broadcasts can result in further vulnerability to corruption by making the initial step harder, so it is probably best to have a Heart player double-check after someone else, preferably a Hope or Might or Void player has forcefully brought them out of the squiddly embraces with regular playeroid embraces, especially if there are any other corruptive bits remaining that are best surgically excised before they are regrown by whatever caused corruption in the first place. Using the link to corrupt widens it and forces it out of hiding, making it removable by hugs, so it's a one-time thing. I think Fred gave GT one of these?
Service: Summoning a piece of me to wreak about as much havoc on your session as a PK could if they were a combination of a Mist player and a Rain player but only about as strong as one of them and/or to claim your soul
Approximate payment required: A
LOT and I do mean a huge amount of specific and complex magic circles drawn in blood (alchemized blood or Pulse-weave works too), [CORRUPTION FILTER ACTIVE], some currency of various forms (I accept boondollars, spondulicks, and generic valuables), doing some lewd things to yourself or getting them done to you, preferably some flowers especially lilies, and a lot of Rain and Mist majjyks in order to do the actual summoning by constructing enough specific-pattern combined Whisperings and then corrupting it so my particular self can arise from it so I can get across an intact session barrier. Beyond that just bringing me there is a wonderful tool for letting me destroy stuff. However
I would absolutely love your eternal soul please give it to me once you've called me up to take it from you!Result: The victim/caster barfs rainbow fog and a piece of me is constructed from that and latent Rain and Mist in the area if you have enough. Also [CORRUPTION FILTER ACTIVE] and I try to get you to give me your soul through increasingly destructive means.
Can a game service do this instead: No, but I recommend performing it in the Skaian Summoning of a Rain or Mist player with them present to provide as much of their whisperings as possible to reduce the majjykal load of getting that much of it in one place.
Corruption level: Can I have your soul in advance? It'll make things a lot easier! <3 Otherwise actually none, despite all the honors I barely qualify as a 'terror myself, I just want your souls for my own purposes.
Fine details/translated contract on offering: [CORRUPTION FILTER ACTIVE] give me your soul damnit.
Player-end effort: High. You need a LOT of rainbow bullshit and haze fog to provide enough mass for me to arise, as well as painting room-filling giant blood circles and then a lot of stuff on top of that. Honestly it would be faster all around to just break your session barrier and get eaten by horrorterrors but if you want me personally to kill you all YMMV.
I mean it would be much faster if you just gave me your soul lol.Contractor-end effort: Not actually that high. I basically just need to be alive and conscious then lend you my awareness through the other extensive majjyks, most of which you will be performing, then I collect the phat lewtz.
Timeframe: Probably a few hours just painting the blood, and then there's the ritual itself. That takes a while.
Notes: The same bindings as other majjykal summons like the whoreventurers or alchemized summoning tools apply so I can't just murderize you without your permission unless you skimp on the bindings. [CORRUPTION FILTER ACTIVE] do it lol. Lemme kill or corrupt you so you can be my eternal slave until I trade you off for some cute random with a better classpect lol.
Service: Pinging your session to horrorterrors
Approximate payment required: The ritual itself is sufficient payment.
Result: I know where you live (until you leave the session).
Can a game service do this instead: Not applicable.
Corruption level: None. Like the majjyks to upload stuff to the Furthest Ring this is purely a send-horrorterrors-your-personal-information spell with no need for a back-relay or a permanent taint on your soul.
Fine details/translated contract on offering: This isn't really a contract, you basically just do the thing and if it reaches anybody in the deals network at any point soon or in the past we or anyone else with 'terror-level megaserver access authority can puzzle out where you are plus some basic deets on your session if relevant i.e. name/handle/other identifier of caster plus what planetoid if any it was cast on, and then send a servitor-body over to roll around on your session barrier with the Others singing the past and future to Dersites.
Player-end effort: Very little.
Contractor-end effort: Even less. It's basically going ctrl+f on a server ping collector list and using a linearizer like replayer dongles to verify temporal points in relative 'afterward'.
Timeframe: A few minutes of broodfester recitations emphatically directed towards the Ring.
Notes: If you want to talk to somebody in our deals network this is essential for personal communication and the final execution unless we're just trading in information over the internet.
Service: Dreaming dead memory stability
Approximate payment required: Doing me a favor, your eternal soul, corrupting some genesis frogs you make, or maybe the ownership rights to the souls of some further doomed selves?
Result: Someterror gives your ghost a spiritual computer and server access so you can save your memories and continue to be a person once you die.
Can a game service do this instead: lolno
Corruption level: None if you're already dead, maybe some or a lot if you're not
Fine details/translated contract on offering:

[REDACTED]: aaaah, let me consider
LC: Ooh, a perfect excuse to coordinate with Team Psychopomp....
[REDACTED]: teaaaam psychopomp?
LC: You know how burgundyblood psychics can sometimes call up the souls of the regular dead?
[REDACTED]: yes, of course
LC: Surprise surprise, player souls are even less difficult to drag from the eternal slumber once the owning parties give lease.
LC: I do love a few more shades of grey that people know about than Fred does, but....I still love taking control.
[REDACTED]: of course. control is useful.
[REDACTED]: control forces everyone to follow the plaaaan
LC: What are you willing to give up and undermine the point of replayer life?
[REDACTED]: aaaas i saaaaid, i will effectively become aaaa sleeper aaaagent who caaaan eliminaaaate aaaany threaaaats
LC: I could use another hand in the world of the living...Haha, and better one I don't even need to watch...

[REDACTED]: give up my option of choice when it comes to killing select individuaaaals
LC: Hrm....Would you rather just lease a less specific control? I have...less than lethal intent sometimes.

[REDACTED]: is there aaaanyone in my current session i should prepaaaare for?
LC: Not at the moment, no.
[REDACTED]: good to know.
This conversation also features me hiring an assassin! Feel free to offer me up your services as that, I could use more souls for my collection!
Player-end effort: Variable. It depends on what I need done at the moment. I'm actually one of the major providers along with rain avatars and coins avatars because they can synthesize real stuff with attracted aspect power.
Contractor-end effort: Medium. Acquiring a computer and getting it to your ghost is not really THAT hard, but it IS an effort.
Timeframe: You want a long life, don't you?
Notes: I usually charge your eternal enslavement cuz that's more fun for me
Service: Repairing Shinies
Approximate payment required: YOUR ETERNAL SOUL or doing a pretty big favor for us like becoming an assassin or going PK, but some particularly lenient terrors might offer a slightly lower price like making you a channel. This will probably be negotiated by and also involving the services/soul-claiming of someone else, depending on how aggressively you got shinyfucked by angels or a very unpleasant Heart or Sight player and thus how much more work will be involved.
Result: Your shiny is repaired to a passable state, possibly with other changes from original as necessary or desired by the repairing party.
Can a game service do this instead: It varies. Taking the replay can repair a lot with the maturity rollback effect, and a sufficiently skilled Heart especially in a relevant class can do an impressive amount of raw substantiation, as well as to a lesser extent Sight in abusing symbolism to replace lost content, and in cases of certain types of damage to personality if the original person is irreparable with available resources Flux in case of substantiating a raw function-based replacement until at least the replay and possibly longer depending on whether the recreated mind can merge with or cede to the flanderized version.
Corruption level: Not strictly necessary but it will probably be used in the case of angelic issues to provide raw replacement as well as destroy any remaining angelic corruption. Much like the Ritual of Sensation it will often be merged with the shiny in raw terms to prevent getting accidentally pulled out by hugs.
Fine details/translated contract on offering: something something on the old forum a guy talked about how after an angelic corruption episode he got his soul patched up in exchange for killing a hundred or two hundred people or like fifty or a hundred permakills instead as possible I think??
Player-end effort: It depends, but in general the more work it takes us the more you're gonna have to pay.
Contractor-end effort: Pretty damn high. Souls are fucking complex shit.
Timeframe: The actual fine work can be accomplished in however much time.
Notes: GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING SOUL ALREADY
Service: Becoming a channel
Approximate payment required: Most likely your sanity and most likely your eternal soul somewhere at some point if it wasn't sold to begin with, but it probably pares down into becoming a pleasure addict and a slave~
Result: Horrorterrors use your brain as a psychic chatroom and you basically get to act like a livestream Let's Play except the game is Sburb and the audience of incomprehensible eldritch horrors in the comments section uses better spelling and grammar. Also in exchange for getting your reward centers and I'm-okay-with-this centers stimulated for following along and maybe some discounted prices on other deals you can let them take control in various amounts.
Can a game service do this instead: I sure fucking hope not.
Corruption level: It depends on whether the audience want it and your patron/owner/etc. will allow it. Most of them that do end up taking the replayer out of play as general-purpose ring candy. Same corruption potential as the Ritual of Sensation but less likely to pull out of hiding when used to corrupt.
Fine details/translated contract on offering: [CORRUPTION FILTER ACTIVE] but that's not gonna get through lol
Player-end effort: Actually very little after the initial setup. It's basically 'you play the game
but with more stalkers.
Contractor-end effort: Marginal. Once control's set up all that has to be done is chatroom moderation to ensure that a non-corruption channel doesn't just go speaker straight up once the Beasts get wind of a new stream.
Timeframe: Your lifespan I guess lol
Notes: I'm trying to find a better bathroom break or other private moment sign than the default blank white void. Feel free to post ideas!
Service: A night with the Corrupter
Approximate payment required: Your eternal soul
Result: I get your soul and you get an encounter with the haze of voices as convenient, say in dreambubble dreams ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Can a game service do this instead: No. (most mist players heed the FAQ warning that the tangled/dord waltz fogging rainclones thing is kind of confusing and lack the ability to self-synchronize properly)
Corruption level: I get your eternal soul you idiot. What do you THINK?
Fine details/translated contract on offering: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [CORRUPTION FILTER ACTIVE]
Player-end effort: Give me your soul I want it.
Contractor-end effort: Not that much really, fogging isn't that hard.
Timeframe: One short moment, and also eternity.
Notes: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Service: Ghosts
Approximate payment required: Probably a RoS to a bubble-keeper terror so they don't miss any of the excitement, or a small favor depending on whether you need to learn eldritch majjyks or are already a sufficiently strong psychic.
Result: You get haunted, alive or dead, for the negotiated duration.
Can a game service do this instead: Not unless you're a troll necromantipsion or chucklevoodoos master from a high-arcane native capable of conjuring up ghosts yourself.
Corruption level: Ghosts don't usually get corrupted because their souls are already enslaved. You are probably not going to end up too bad unless you had to learn majjyks to necromancy up stuff.
Fine details/translated contract on offering: Not gonna read this. NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
Player-end effort: Fairly low. Necromantipsions don't need to do anything different but where they draw from, chucklevoodos
Contractor-end effort: Also fairly low. It's basically just authorizing souls to be teleported.
Timeframe: Usually a session long.
Notes:
oh god Julie what are you doing
emergency brb
