so I need a job because my shopping addiction is waaaay beyond this stipend thingy

skills include gymnastics, psychiatry, kicking ass and taking names, finding lost things

I figure I could be a great mercenary or bounty hunter or hitwoman but IDK if those things are actual jobs you can get here

dog walker? bartender? I dunno!

any suggestions are welcome!

Uh, yeah??
You've got a fantastic sense of style and you have experience working under pressure. I think you'd do great as a venue designer.
Also, you and I get along super well and we have similar motivations (making tons of money). I think we'd make a fantastic team!

[nutbuckets]

oh wow
I'm flattered
thank you codi

I'll totally do that thingy with you
what do you need me to do?

[maskedtyrant]

You're welcome, Harley!
First things first: We need that venue.
We could combine a couple of our stipends for a down-payment on a nice lot, or we can focus on materials to like decorations/service contracts with caterers/etc. and then rent a place whenever we get customers.
The first option gives us a permanent place that we can modify into other stuff if this doesn't work out. But, it'll take longer for us to save up for it, or we'll have to work a couple other part-time gigs to save up faster.
The second option requires a bigger gamble on potential business outcomes, with a higher immediate reward if we bet wisely.

What do you think we should do?

[nutbuckets]

a venue huh

maybe getting the stuff first would be good then we have the stuff if we need it and we can rent the place with stipends and save up for a down payment
and we can always sell the stuff if it doesn't work out

I could get a second part-time gig I'm sure!

[Gosh, it's nice having someone ask her opinion on things.]

[maskedtyrant]

Then that's what we'll do!
I can start making a list of stuff I think we need, but I think you'll have a better sense of design stuff than me.
If you make a list of materials, I can work out how to get them and who would be willing to back us.
I think I'll look into a part-time thing, too. A little extra money never hurt anyone while we plan big!
What kind of jobs were you thinking about? I was thinking of working the bar at Cyborg. I mean, they see me enough there already, I figure that would make an easy interview.

[nutbuckets]

oh wow, my first executive decision!

[She's still super flattered to be asked.]

okay! I'll work on that!
oooh tether ceremony homework, this is so cool

you'd be a great bartender! I was thinking of doing that too
but other than that, my skills don't seem to come in too handy here
unless I wanted to go back into psychiatry, I bet a lotta people would need that

[maskedtyrant]

I mean, I wouldn't argue against working with you at Cyborg! They usually keep two bartenders on staff at a time for high volume and delivering food and stuff.
But a psychiatrist sounds like a unique niche. I don't think the camp has a psychiatrist.
Considering all of the battle and stuff the locals have already experienced, I think you'd have no trouble at all finding customers/patients.
I could even help fund it later! Partner businesses, right?

[nutbuckets]

oh man, if we worked at cyborg together d'you think we'd end up dancing on the bar in snakeskin pants like in the movies? that'd be dope

the camp probably has one? I mean this many damaged people in one place, with trauma and all that, they gotta
but I guess I could think on it
it's not something I ever really wanted to do again

oh man tethering and psychoanalysis all under one roof

[maskedtyrant]

I think I could negotiate it. ;)

I haven't heard of one being around, [because she hasn't bothered to look] but I wouldn't want to pressure you into doing a job you don't like.
It does kinda sound like a cluster. Either a psychologist's dream or nightmare lol

[nutbuckets]

you better! ;)

[She hasn't bothered to check either. The last thing she needs is someone else trying to shrink her head. It's bad enough being in the brain of a psychiatrist without going to see another one.]

yeah I don't think I'm ever going back to that job
I'm a lil too cracked at this point

dream I think
at least for me
