Actually in terms of that analogy, a "michelin star restaurant" would be more apt. But I get what you mean. That said, the mcdonalds still has its place. You'd be able to reach clients that I never could.

We're not leaving him out of the business. Once we got a clear idea of what we're doing, we'll tell the Duke about it. I just want to wait to tell him until after we got a solid plan, so he doesn't feel like he has to take managing this on himself too.

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

[whiteshroud]

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.

[tonberrykin]

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

[whiteshroud]

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?

[tonberrykin]

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]

Are you deciding how many michelin stars I'm worth?
You don't look like a tire company.

Mm. and he's already providing some excellent ideas on how to make it work. He'd be a good manager.

[moderni]

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.

[whiteshroud]

Well you got my vote. You're level headed, thoughtful and capable of seeing the big picture. And if you have experience doing stuff like this, that's even better.
