aren't you the humble one~
forgive me for not according you the tire company star you so aptly deserve, i'm too broke to remember luxuries most days
i'm here to be the 'it's within expiry date' experience to your 'and now people are letting me pour chocolate syrup on their hands as part of the s'mores experience'
a short guy with a sword for all budgets

he's still gonna argue about it when we present it to him
he's a bit of a control freak but like, one of those dudes that's doing it within reason
and also we're generally a collective of hingeless people so god knows we need a project manager
tonberrykin: (i'll take your breath away)

is it illegal if i allow reparations to be paid without involving the state

at that point it's just a transaction of making up for hurt done without the courts having a say in it
and just became i walked in front of somebody's ford explorer on purpose doesn't mean that it's a crime if you squint

We can start out by canvassing the locals in person and expressing interest in contract work. If we find there's a need, we can then set up a way for people to submit jobs so that they aren't simply waiting for a representative of the Fortress to come around and ask.

Once we have an idea of what people need, we can align the tasks with Fortress residents as appropriate to their skill sets and demeanors. All on a volunteer basis of course, but I'm sure most of the residents will be willing to pitch in.

Oh geez, I didn't realise it was so bad.

Thanks to Blade, I do have a forge down here now, so I don't have to hoof it to Hyrule to work anymore. Means I can take on more jobs. I can always pay him a sizeable part of my work. We get paid enough now from POKEGO that I don't desperately need it anymore.


[Also SOMEONE cleared his student debt, which was honestly his own biggest financial stress, thanks boyfriend! ]

I could even call it something like a "location fee" or... something. Save his pride a bit.

you could be like
a geek squad but for metalwork and dubious chemistry experiments
you could repair equipment at a premium or make stuff to sell in undertown
or really cool farmer's markets

Not bragging, I simply know my worth.
On a previous job, I traveled for a month across the ocean to Europe on an old-fashion sailing ship, broke into the Black Order Headquarters, stole a full-sized dragon, transported him to North America, and then sealed him away so he wouldn't cause harm and could be returned to his family.
I'd say I earned my michelin star for that.

Then we'll find a project manager.
He'll listen to reason so long as we have a solid proposal.

Correction: A raccoon ate it.

Raccoons can't be prosecuted by the law, so it's a gray zone.
tonberrykin: (i'll be your one and only champion)

[personal profile] tonberrykin 2024-12-20 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
ok on one hand
yes that;s very impressive and you've definitely earned accolades for that
on the other hand
why did you bother to bring him all the way to america why not seal him where he was
at that point it kinda feels like running up the proverbial meter

not it
i barely know what i'm doing half the time and the brain ghost ain't hot on paperwork

tonberrykin: (Default)

[personal profile] tonberrykin 2024-12-20 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
raccoons can absolutely be prosecuted by law there's a whole wikipedia page about animals being put on trial i read it at 4am a couple of weeks back
whiteshroud: (considering)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-12-20 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I don't think he wanted us to know. I hadn't meant to eavesdrop, I was just up among the pipes when he started talking.

[Roof cryptid's gotta roof cryptid]

That's a good idea though. There's got to be plenty of things that people would want made that you could do. I know you'd do better work than the moogles.
whiteshroud: (thinking)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-12-20 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds reasonable to me. Maybe an email or phone line would be easiest? They could leave a message, and then we can go out to meet them to get the details.

Mm, I agree. I don't think we'll struggle to find volunteers, with how willing people are to help out around here.
droptheious: (Still alive)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-12-20 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
And who doesn't want dubious chemistry experiments? Especially this time of the year. Perfect gift!

And yeah, my craftmanship is pretty dang good. I think it's worth it. And if a good chunk of that money slides the Duke's way? Easy win.


[ Look at him, admitting his work is good instead of putting himself down!! ]

Dragon needed to be beat up before I could seal him.
Doing that within the Order's headquarters wasn't feasible without us risking getting caught, so I bought him to Kaisou where I know there were loads of fighters willing to help.

Yeah, that's fair. I can't see you doing paperwork either.
What about Maxima?
droptheious: (If you even notice me)

[personal profile] droptheious 2024-12-20 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
That doesn't surprise me. He doesn't strike me as the kind of person who asks for help easily. And of course you were.

[Where ELSE would he be? ]

Folks in Undertown are always looking for things they can't get anywhere else. Specialist equipment for monster limb usage, chemicals for various potions, stuff like that.

I'm considerably less likely to force someone into marriage, too.
whiteshroud: (jun03)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-12-20 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it'll amount to a lot.

Just having a former Black Order Guardian would probably give us a level of respect among certain populations. That's important if we want to get jobs.
tonberrykin: (i'll drive you wild)

[personal profile] tonberrykin 2024-12-20 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
hmmm i guess that's why it's a one-star michelin experience for right now
two-star would've kicked the dragon's ass in house probably
but who cares about two star michelin places
that just means you aren't good enough for three whereas one is like, a huge accomplishment

ooooo yeah that's a good idea maxima looks like a dude who loves middle-management and spreadsheets
if he knew what a spreadsheet was

whiteshroud: (jun73)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-12-20 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Why are you like this?
moderni: (smile šŸ‘“ of a thousand lies)

[personal profile] moderni 2024-12-20 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not so different from what I was doing before I arrived here, aside from the stakes being considerably lower. I don't mind taking the lead, if others are willing to allow it.
tonberrykin: (Default)

[personal profile] tonberrykin 2024-12-20 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
hell yeah! i remember kits of dubious science experiments for boys (and only ever for boys, girls got to do haircare or some shit) so clearly the children crave the acids and the bubbly things

your craftsmanship is the bomb man
you're like a metal witch
you could run one of those youtube channels where you weld art projects together out of scrap and hope no problem


[ hypeman is here to hype you up ]
tonberrykin: (in all it's monotony i'm very alive)

[personal profile] tonberrykin 2024-12-20 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
do you want the shortlist or long?
whiteshroud: (jun74)

[personal profile] whiteshroud 2024-12-20 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He's not. I had to talk him into not trying to pay me for my work here beyond room and board, because I knew he couldn't afford my rates.

Yeah, I'm sure you'd have no shortage of orders once word gets around about your skills.

And even better! Pretty sure a lot of people avoid the moogles BECAUSE their fixation on matrimony.

That's a really good idea. There's plenty of notice boards around we can post up showing we're available for work. There's probably online ones, too, but that's better left for uh... people who are good at that kind of thing.
