Graded [Stonewall Town / Kirkwall Town] (Caelia Barony) Where Nobody's Bean Before

[Ersatra]

Anastasia Von Arbin


Anastasia listened intently as Mayor Kirk reminisced about Steelhaven, filing the information away even though it appeared not to be directly relevant. The mention of someone growing up in this small village and making a name for themselves in the capital piqued her interest, though she sensed that this wasn't the time to delve deeper. “A remarkable story nonetheless,” she commented, acknowledging the girl’s achievements. “It seems Kirkwall has produced talent that even the capital couldn't ignore.”

As the conversation turned back to the matter at hand, Anastasia nodded thoughtfully at the mayor’s approach to the situation. “Simi, is it? I trust your judgment, and if she’s as useful as you say, I look forward to meeting her.” At the mention of Sylvan, she hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. “Unfortunately, no, I am not fluent in Sylvan."

When the conversation shifted to the potential of marketing cocoa products as a 'Kirkwall original,' Anastasia’s eyes brightened slightly, her business instincts kicking in. She could appreciate the mayor’s sharpness, seeing it as a valuable asset rather than a hindrance. “That’s certainly an idea worth exploring,” she replied with a measured smile. “It would raise the profile of the village and encourage further growth. I’d be open to such an arrangement, but only if certain conditions are met.”

She paused, considering the full implications of his request. “Of course, it will take some time to develop the process and ensure everything is up to standard. But of course so long as It would benefit both the village and the enterprise, I'd be willing to return to this topic at a later date.”

Anastasia took another sip of her tea, her gaze steady. “As long as our goals align, Mayor Kirk, I believe we can make this a success.”

“Oh?” The mayor stated, upon Anastasia suggesting 'certain conditions' to be met. “It would, I can assure, make it something people are more motivated to aid with.” There was some regional pride that would likely be beneficial if used correctly, or detrimental if rubbed the wrong way.

They were shortly interrupted by a woman barging in.

“Ehmm.. yes” The guard followed her in shortly after.

Turning to Anastasia, she'd continue in Sylvan. “{So, what do you want with me? Getting the mayor to fetch me and all.}”

“I believe you'll have to use common.” The mayor stated, though his tone sounded more like a command.

“Gods, I hate speaking this dreadful noise. What do you want?” She'd ask, now in Common.

Anastasia's lips curved into a playful smile as she leaned slightly back in the chair and turned to glance back at Simi, her red eyes gleaming with mischief. “Well, aren’t you a firecracker?” she remarked, clearly unbothered by Simi's abrupt manner. “But I like a bit of spirit—it keeps things interesting.”

She crossed her legs, her tone light as she continued, “I’m not here to waste your time, so I’ll get straight to the point. I’m in the business of bringing something special to Kirkwall—cocoa farming. Mayor Kirk here says you might be the one to point me in the right direction. Word is, there’s an elf, or maybe someone from the Elven Village nearby, who knows about cocoa beans and how to grow them.”

Anastasia paused for a moment, letting the words sink in before adding with a teasing edge, “Now, I’m guessing you don’t exactly roll out of bed every day thinking, ‘How can I help a noble with her fancy plans?’ But trust me, this is worth your while. If you can connect me with someone who knows their way around cocoa beans, you’ll not only have me in your debt, but you’ll also be setting up Kirkwall for something a lot bigger than bread rolls.”

She uncrossed her legs, her smile widening just a bit. “So, what do you say? Feel like helping me stir up a little magic in this sleepy village?” Laughing softly Anastasia would add with a smirk "Or would that be far too dreadful for you to bear?"

“Firecracker?” She'd raise an eyebrow. “{Insulting me in foreign languages already. May the Spirit King use your corpse to fertilise our Dryad's rooting spots.}” She sneered back in Sylvan, misunderstanding the remark entirely due to the unfamiliar word.

“You like spirit? Sure.” She had no clue what she was meant to do with that information. The last bit was a tad more informative. “Good.” She listened to the actual information. “Cocoa farming?” She chuckled at the mention of someone knowing how to grow them. “You're looking at her. The fruit's decent, but not that popular. I heard some folk tried making other stuff with it, at some points, possibly in Widersia? Anyhow, I can't recall off the top of my head. All I know is that I couldn't get it to sell well here.” She'd remark.

“{I'd rather think how to fuck over some noble plans. It's a lot more fun.}” She'd smile, speaking Sylvan again. Then in Common. “Ah, my bad. I forget to use this awful tongue. I don't exactly care much about Kirkwall... so what's in it for me?” She asked.

The mayor decided to interfere. “The elven village is formally still part of Kirkwall. I assure you, this woman's deal would benefit it just as much, if not more.”

“Sure it would.” She stated, voice dripping with doubt and sarcasm. Looking directly at Anastasia. “Now why would some {fancy stuck-up looking} noble woman manage to sell a fruit that I couldn't market to these tasteless bastards here?”

Anastasia chuckled softly, leaning back in her chair and shaking her head as if amused by the whole exchange. “Oh, this visit was definitely worth the trip,” she mused aloud, casting a sideways glance at the mayor before turning her full attention back to Simi. The playful glint in her eyes had returned.

“Well, Simi, it sounds like you’ve got the growing part down. Clearly, you know your way around these fruits better than most. But,” Anastasia leaned forward slightly, a smile teasing at the corners of her lips, “it’s not just about knowing how to cultivate them, is it? It’s about turning that hard work into something that sells. You may be skilled at growing them, but—” she paused, raising an eyebrow with a playful grin, “maybe selling them just isn’t your strong suit.”

She let the remark hang in the air for a moment, then continued in a more casual tone, “You see, we’re in the same boat, just on opposite ends. I can’t grow these fruits, not like you can. But I can sell them. That’s where I come in. You bring your skill with the soil, and I’ll bring mine with the market. Together, we might just create something neither of us could do alone.”

Anastasia's expression shifted slightly, more serious but still teasing. “Now, as for what’s in it for you... if you’re not too concerned with Kirkwall’s gain, perhaps you’d prefer the Elven village to profit more directly? I could see to it that they’re a bigger part of the equation, more involved in what’s to come. If Kirkwall’s not your concern, surely your own people are. Though if you wish to benefit yourself over all else I suppose I could work with that too.”

She raised an eyebrow again, her smile returning as she waited for Simi’s response.

“Well, yeah.” She'd reply regarding the growing part. “Oh, {fuck off you prick}, it's just these folk being unable to appreciate something that they haven't eaten thousands of times before.” She reacted, seeming to be offended. She was still 'clever' enough to keep the cursing to Sylvan though, though one might assume these words wore no-good from their tone alone.

“Pfft. Sure you can.” She scoff, clearly not believing it. “The only folk that seem to sell them are those that get deals with fancy places like the Duchy or Widersia that somehow turn 'em into other products. I don't think you're one of those now, are you?” She squinted. “Actually, I know an easy solution. Pay me up front. Then I'll get you all the Cocoa Beans you want and it'll be your problem to sell them.”

As for who'd benefit, she scoffed. “{Bloody nobles thinking money will just make everyone bend the knee.}” She grumbled. “Whom I care about is my deal. We might... MIGHT... have a deal. Yet I want to know for sure that you'll pay, rather than just go bankrupt due to being unable to sell them and defaulting. I'm not growing the beans only for you to fail worse than I did.” She'd argue. In fact, there was a bit of [Intimidation F] present in her voice as her posture got a tad more aggressive.

Anastasia Von Arbin



Anastasia felt the shift in Simi’s tone, and a faint ripple of tension ran through her. The elf's posture and the subtle threat in her voice triggered a gut reaction of fight or flight, sparking something in Anastasia that turned her teasing demeanour cold in an instant. Her red eyes narrowed, and the faintest clenching of her jaw betrayed her rising irritation.

She leaned forward, her voice low and controlled but with a sharp edge. “Enough.” The playful tone was gone, replaced by a chilling seriousness. “You’re not seeing the bigger picture here. This isn’t about you and your little patch of crops. This is about creating something larger than yourself, something that could bring more wealth and opportunity to your village than you've likely ever seen. Had you even remotely thought through this deal you'd see how with this transaction you could singlehandedly place yourself and that village you say isn't a part of Kirkwall on the map as its own. But no—" she paused, eyes locked on Simi's, "you’re too focused on squeezing a quick payment out of me, afraid to even take a risk or look anyway past the near future.”

Anastasia’s fingers tapped the arm of her chair as her words grew sharper. “You think I can’t find someone else to help me with this? You really believe you’re the only person capable of growing cocoa beans in this entire region? I’m giving you the chance to be a part of something bigger, but if all you care about is immediate profit, then I have no use for you.”

She rose from her chair, standing tall as she fixed her icy gaze on the elf. “If you want your payment up front and don’t care for the outcome, I’ll take my business elsewhere—far elsewhere. Perhaps I’ll find someone from outside the elven village, someone who can appreciate the opportunity without threatening to strong-arm me for a few gold pieces.”

Turning her focus back to the Mayor, Anastasia's cold eyes fell to his own. Had the man ever met her grandfather he would surely have seen a frightening resemblance. The crest stitched to her blazer stuck out, a lion mid roar. This was a member of the Von Arbin Family - This was a person born into a family of cut-throat business legends.

"Mr. Kirk. How quickly can you prepare for me two plots of land? One for agricultural use and the other for industrial?"

Although her noble status and business instincts had granted Anastasia the ability to not be intimidated enough to just cave in, her 'counter' wasn't strong enough to convince Simi. If anything, it seemed to make things worse.

“You're not seeing the bigger picture here. Do you think you're the first one to come up with fancy plans, or ask for huge favours? You're asking me to grow difficult to grow crops and I'll just have to take the word for it that you'll return and pay me? We don't all just keel over for stuck-up noble bitches.” She'd reply, not even bothering to use Sylvan on that one.

“Oh, the only thing rich are your words, wealth and opportunity? If that were true, surely you'd have something to show for it, no? Yet here you are, claiming you can sell them and just assuming I'll say 'yes madam, I'm going to spent all my time and effort into growing them and I'll just starve to death when you fail to deliver and can't pay me later' like a good little Fae pet? The only reason I want my money now is to know I'll have it to begin with. I don't need more business clever types that'll just 'default' bullshit their way into bankruptcy and leave you with nothing but unsellable fruits or produce.”

“Well then fuck off out of this barony and take it far, far else...”

“ENOUGH!” For just one word, the mayor seemed a totally different person (Intimidation C, Persuasion C). It was enough to instantly shut Simi up. The mayor was quick to go back to his far less-impressive self, though the impact lasted.

“Whilst I understand some reluctance to take on a job that you do not deem likely to succeed, this is an endeavour that's gotten the approval of lady Nightsharde and through her, of the Baroness herself. Miss Von Arbin is not your average conman and I'd highly suggest you to stop treating her as such.”

He then turned to Anastasia. “Preparing the plots of land should be easy enough. We'll just need to clear some rocks and even it out. Though, I should ask, what type of industrial use? Depending on what you're planning on industry, its location would need to be picked with care as to avoid issues.”

“You really think that winged newcomer...” She started, then shook her head. Suddenly, a smile appeared. “Oh, how about this? If you're all so sure this will work, why don't we sign a contract that'll make the miss personally responsible for repaying? I'll get her the best quality cocoa beans in all of Ryke, no, even in all of the second continent. I'll use magic to enhance them, grow them faster. I'll dedicate as much of my time and resources to it as I possibly can. I'll make very sure that they'll be spotless, plentiful and as near-perfect as possible. So that when the miss fails to sell them, it'll be on her and her alone, and so that when she ends up needing to work my fields to repay me, there will be nobody who can ever claim foul play.” She smiled. “Now, how's that sound?If you're convinced of your plans, surely there's nothing to risk here, no?” Her words had sounded at least somewhat persuasive (Persuasion F), especially with her promise of putting in a lot of effort.

Anastasia Von Arbin


Anastasia stood firm, her expression cooling into something more precise and calculated. Simi's hostility was expected, but the contract offer was interesting—an opening she could use to her advantage. She turned her attention first to the mayor, addressing his question with a composed professionalism that belied the tension in the room.

“I plan to establish a processing plant,” Anastasia explained, “to transform the harvested cocoa beans into a new product—something more refined and desirable for luxury markets. The process involves fermentation, roasting, and additional steps that would require proximity both to the farmland and a main road. Efficient transportation of both raw and finished goods will be essential, so the location needs to strike a balance between access to the crops and easy distribution routes.”

She allowed a brief pause to let the practicality of her plan sink in before she turned back to Simi, her voice growing colder but without a hint of emotional reaction.

“As for your terms, Simi,” Anastasia began, her gaze steady, “I’ll agree to them—on one condition. While I accept personal responsibility for repaying you if this venture fails, I retain ownership of the farm and all associated business operations. That includes the land, the crops, and every bean you grow. You’ll be paid for your efforts, but make no mistake, this farm will be mine.”

She leaned forward slightly, her eyes narrowing just enough to convey her seriousness. “You can dedicate all the time and magic you want to ensuring the crops are perfect. That’s what I’m paying you for. But if you expect me to put my reputation on the line and risk everything, you’d better believe that the business itself—and any profits it generates—belongs to me. If I fail, I’ll pay you back as per our agreement. But if I succeed, you’ll be well compensated for your work. This isn’t about enriching just myself or just you—it’s about building something profitable that benefits both of us.”

Her voice lowered, sharpened with a cutting edge of finality. “I will retain 60 Percent of the business and you will have a share of 40.”
Turning to the Mayor, Anastasia's voice softened "As for you cut of the pie Mr Mayor. Ownership of the processing plant will be split 60% to myself, 10% to yourself and 30% to whomever it is I decide to hire to run the place. That may seem small to you but considering you'll be claiming tax from both businesses I think it's fair. Not only will it ensure you get a say on the board but you'll also see jobs and money injected into the local economy."

Looking between the two Anastasia asked finally "Do we have a deal?"

“A processing plant?” It wasn't exactly a familiar word to him. “Most of the farmland is located along the roads, that part should be easy. So long as it doesn't need water or a vast, even-surfaced area, there are plenty of options. Only the amount of available water and flat surface area are somewhat lacking.” He'd add. “Would any of these processes generate noise, waste or other things that the inhabitants of Kirkwall might experience trouble from? Depending on that, we'll have to put it further out of the town.” It was clear he was unwilling to risk creating future complaints from his citizens about the new industry being a source of complaints for them.

“Oh? You got more guts than I gave you credit for.” She sounded genuinely surprised when Anastasia agreed to her terms. “Fine by me. Though, in turn, I won't be using any of my own land for growing them. Only the land you and the mayor agree upon. That's only fair, no?” She countered.

The 'benefit for both' part seemed to not hit at all, until the '40' share was mentioned. “You for real?” She asked, even more surprised than before. “Okay, hold up, by share, you mean, like, 40% of the profits of the farm goes to me? Wait, hold, is that excluding the normal payment for the beans or including..? You're not just going to claim you're making no profits and use that to refuse paying me, right? Or claim your profits are horrible and only pay pennies in total?” It was clear she was surprised and confused in equal measure, unsure if she was being tricked into something sounding too generous to be true or not.

The mayor contemplated the offer on his end. “The deal does sound fair, but I do believe we'd need more concrete plans first. Farmland is easier to appoint than new buildings, especially if those buildings might cause trouble for its surroundings. At this point, I'm afraid the best I can offer is to return to the topic at a later date.” (Can't really make this deal in the span of this RP I fear.)

 

[Ersatra]

Anastasia Von Arbin


Anastasia smiled coolly at Simi’s reaction, satisfied that she’d shaken the elf’s earlier hostility. This kind of negotiation was where she excelled, and the power shift in the conversation was palpable. Turning first to the mayor, she addressed his concerns with calm assurance.

“The processing plant will generate minimal noise, primarily during roasting, but it won’t be disruptive. There will be some waste from the fermentation process, though nothing harmful. We’ll implement measures to control any potential runoff or smells, ensuring that neither Kirkwall nor the nearby farmland suffers from it. I can promise we’ll comply with local standards. As for water, we’ll require a steady supply for the fermentation, but it’s not a large-scale operation that would drain local resources. The plant can be located farther from the village if that eases concerns—somewhere along the main road, as long as it’s still close to the farm. But that can be discussed at a later date as you say.”

She then shifted her focus back to Simi, her tone sharp yet controlled. “I don’t plan on using any of your land, and that’s fair. You’ll grow the crops on the land provided, and I’ll handle everything from there.”

Anastasia tilted her head slightly, eyes gleaming with a mix of authority and cold calculation as she clarified the deal further for Simi, cutting through the elf's confusion.

"No, you won't be paid for the beans," she began, her voice calm but firm. "The beans are not yours—they belong to the company. You’ll be paid a wage, a fair one, for your time and expertise in cultivating them. But beyond that, you'll receive 40% of the company's profits as a partner in the venture."

She let that sink in for a moment before continuing. "Understand this clearly: you’re not just growing cocoa beans for me. You’re helping build a business, and the success of that business will benefit you directly. That 40% is not based on the sale of the beans themselves but on the company’s total profits. And since I’ll be managing the selling and marketing side, you won’t have to worry about how to offload the product."

Leaning in slightly, her expression sharpened. "I’ll take on the risk of selling them, and if we succeed—and we will—that’s when you’ll see real returns. Your wage guarantees you a steady income, but the real wealth lies in the profits from this venture. If that sounds too generous, it’s because I see potential here. If you'd rather turn it down, feel free. But make no mistake, this is a rare opportunity, and I’d advise you not to let it slip away."

Anastasia’s tone was crisp, allowing no room for misunderstanding. "So, the question is, are you ready to be part of something bigger? Or would you prefer to walk away and leave the profits to someone else?"

The mayor nodded along with Anastasia's descriptions. There was only one part where he shook his head. “The type of industry you have in mind would be unheard of. As such, there are few local standards in place. We'll have to find and resolve things as we go, though I am sure this can be done in good faith.” The rest was indeed for a later day.

The Elf took some time to add things up, only to realise it was all in her advantage. Getting a wage meant that even if the beans somehow failed, be it due to bandits, monsters, war, vandalism or droughts, she'd still be paid. That meant that, even without the promise of a 40% bonus, she'd be able to just spent her time and energy growing them without much worry about keeping side-hustles to ensure an income should the Beans fail.

The total profit margin made her wonder. It sounded like the marketing tactic of just putting all money back into the business, leaving no profit and there not paying any bonuses. Then again, she had little knowledge about economics, so perhaps she was too pessimistic once more. In the end, she caved. “Very well. The other Elves might declare me insane for working with some random Human nobelwoman, so I'd hope you're going to ensure they'll be proven wrong.” She'd state with a smirk, reaching out a hand to shake to seal the deal.

Think the mentioning of local challenges to this asset being acquired were hinted at but not explored as much as they coulda been. Was a little confused when the adviser was named nightshade, since the neighboring countess has the same name. Small world I suppose, granted her land has superior cacao farms. This may have already been answered by now, but wealth is just one of any number of ways of justifying an asset's acquisition assuming the asset or person granting the asset can be bought off.

Aftermath

There's a cacao farm in Kirkwall now. Time will tell how it'll fair. The small operation is one bad season away from ruin without additional investment.
