[Silco was dressed as he normally was, and he seemed unperturbed by the fact that the area around him was occasionally glitching from various types of fabric to open space to a plain wall. He remained perfectly normal and unaffected, which honestly was the important part, wasn't it?

This was not a shop that he was normally seen in, but anyone who had taken the time to visit the tailor would recognize the place. Some of the items on the work bench were glitching now and again.]

It seems that this world is falling to pieces, and our dearest of functional natives have taken the brunt of adverse situation in Aldrip. For those that are looking to fill the days or evenings with paid work, I find myself with an increase in availability.

I have acquired a small smattering of businesses over the course of my time here, and I will list them below. My offer is simple: a shift, a day, or more continual work is available. I pay cash in hand for time worked and long-term employment gains certain benefits. Inquire if interested.

[He flipped off the video and switched to text to list his businesses and provided their locations for those looking for something with limited transportation required.]

Sandwich Hut
Seafood Shack
The Last Drop Bar
The Flower Shop & Greenhouses
The Tailor

[Richard says go ask Silco at his bar and Junpei, in true lazy fashion, scrolls back on the network until he finds the post he remembers mentioned said bar. He is so resourceful. Now he doesn't have to get up!]

hey uh unrelated to jobs, kind of. you know richard duke of everything? i'm on a quest from richard to ask for catering.

text,

[conflictresolution]

[Richard... he sees what you are doing here.]

Duke of Gloucester, yes, I am familiar with him.

How many people, date of the event, meal preferences, do you need an estimate for cost?

[coolerjunpei]

[Junpei suddenly sees his future of running back and forth having this conversation twice because Richard didn't want to do this part... that's not what happened at all]

great questions. was kind of just expecting a yes/no for future reference so... let me get back to you on like half of that. 3/4.

but it's for his training camp thing so portable food is probably better than a whole sit down meal? a sandwich type experience.

[conflictresolution]

[Silco was, of course, doing this on purpose. He could simply go to Richard to ask, but this one had been sent to him, so he'd get his answers through Junpei.]

My questions should already make it clear my intent of providing the service once I have an idea of the details.

Of course handhelds are easy to create in large numbers. Check if beverages, service tables and dinnerware are also necessary when you ask the Duke for further details.

[coolerjunpei]

richard didn't even know what a potluck is, so i guess that part of the planning's on me. my bad.

drinks yeah. tables, dunno, maybe a few. dinnerware probably not for sandwiches.

[conflictresolution]

It does appear to be so, yes.

So we will let the crumbs and scraps fall to the grass. Interesting choice. I'll provide bins as well for discard.

[coolerjunpei]

are paper plates dinnerware in the fancy business world? just do paper.

[conflictresolution]

Paper plates and napkins it is then. Condiments on the side for personal preferences.

Provide me the other necessary details, and I will see the service arranged on my end. Your name?

[coolerjunpei]

great. that works for me. i dunno what kind of sandwiches everyone eats, so let's throw in some vegetarian options with the standard lunch meat type.

i'm junpei. i'll keep you posted when i know the rest.

[conflictresolution]

Of course. I will gather a basic menu of sandwich options for you and the Duke to decide on final numbers for your group.

I will keep an eye out for your replies then, Junpei.

[coolerjunpei]

[Anyway, after he's argued about what a mirror is and how good he is at reading for an hour:]

hi, me again. richard says 20 people, but i feel like these things are always bigger in the end, so let's say 30. and he wants to do it next month, but no official date yet.

[conflictresolution]

Very well, I will make order preparations for thirty people for the following month, date pending.

Sandwich type choices are:
*Vegetarian
*Ham + Cheese
*Tuna Melt
*Roast Chicken
*Seafood
*Egg Salad
*Three Cheese

Name your preferences and numbers for the selected a week before delivery.

[coolerjunpei]

sure. soon as i've got the date.

sooooooo you still need someone to work in your sandwich hut, speaking of? i can make sandwiches.

[conflictresolution]

Is that so? Are you looking for short-term or long-term employment?

[coolerjunpei]

long i guess, since we're stuck here.

[conflictresolution]

Aside from making a sandwich, do you have any other skills?

[coolerjunpei]

i worked closing shifts at a supermarket for a while, so... that kind of stuff, i guess. what else do you need for a sandwich hut?

[conflictresolution]

It's simply that I find few have aspirations to make sandwiches long term, and it would be beneficial to us both to find an appropriate fit for your skills. If this is where you wish to be, I have openings for you.

[coolerjunpei]

it's really not that big of a deal, it's a job. but if you're looking for people to do other stuff, you should probably put that in your ad.

[conflictresolution]

Then if you can handle the job, it will be yours as long as you choose and follow the rules. We will see if your skills take you elsewhere in my businesses, no ad change required.

[coolerjunpei]

sure. what are the rules?

[conflictresolution]

Don't be a jerk.
Treat customers and co-workers with respect.
Don't steal.
Show up on time for your shift.

I expect you won't have a problem with those?

[coolerjunpei]

yeah, i think i can handle being normal at work.

[conflictresolution]

Oh good. It sounds like you're a keeper.

I will pay in cash either at the end of each shift or the end of the week, your choice.

[not here]
