Okay, so recently, regaining one's soul from urchins became impossible, though apparently it IS still possible to gain from boxes. I was wondering something.
The CVR stuff, effectivly, is locked off by the fate story A Trade In Souls. And the only other guaranteed way to get one''s soul is also fate locked. The point I am trying to make here, is that for either one to occur Failbetter gets money. This is important.
What I was thinking is that it would be cool if those who have a Sheperd's Timepeice from the story could restore other player's souls. The player without a soul could offer something (not sure what) as payment, while the timepeice owner could get a option to restore the player's soul via resources for said payment. The CVR person gets a little profit and the poor soul gets their soul back.
Of course, where there are soul restorers, there are also sprifers.
it would only be fair that those who chose the path of sprifage get a simlar option. If there is a person out there who wishes to sell their soul to the sprifer for some reason - maybe they want instant money, maybe they are burdened by it, maybe it's stained and the devils on the card won't touch it - they can sell it to the sprifer for a item and the spifer of course gets a valuable soul.
Now I'm not sure how to balance this, I'll leave that up to you guys. I'm just curious if you think it cool. But keep in mind, getting one's soul is supposed to be hard and chancy, so I'm not sure if it works.

I've gotten my Soul back from One's Public.
Yeah, but that was from a fan who just wanted you to sign it. They were rather put out that you kept the bloody thing.

And can you imagine where they got it?
They're walking around the Bazaar, just looking at stuff and there, on the bargain table, is the soul of their favorite author.
The disinterested clerk say "Who? Never herd of him. All souls 50 pence. Take it or leave it."

The echo in the journal is dated March 3rd, so it was after the change.
