gollark: Oh, sorry, I did somehow actually manage to trade it.
gollark: <@139972637962010624> Do you have a magi? Mine is on cooldown.
gollark: I caught a Black Truffle before realising it wasn't valuable enough to trade for stuff I actually want. If anyone wants it, ask and I'll send it in the morning (GMT+0). You'll need to set up a teleport yourself as my one magi is on cooldown.
