[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

wait, hold on a tick. requests? from whom? where?

i wish you weren't right but judging by all the shit that's happened and i've been here like two months... yeah

[conflictresolution]

This place grants requests now and again. How you go about it is your choice.

You'll find that I'm unfortunately right about many things.

[incorrigibles]

... huh. thanks for telling me. if they can't get me my bag then maybe they can at least get my bat

unfortunately? so not good stuff you're right about, then

[conflictresolution]

Or potentially both. Depends how nice you ask.

[No, it doesn't.]

Much of the time. I have considerable life experience in the unfortunate.

[incorrigibles]

oh? you can't just say that and not elaborate, mate

[conflictresolution]

Those are the kinds of stories that come at the bottom of a cup.

[incorrigibles]

aren't they always

well, can't get drunk, can i? but if you do and feel like talking, you know how to find me, i guess

[conflictresolution]

That's a shame. We can still share a drink at some point at least?

[incorrigibles]

if this place keeps doing its weird thing and turns me back into a human again then sure

otherwise you're gonna have to find a ghost drink for me

[conflictresolution]

I'll look into it and let you know if I find something.

[incorrigibles]

wait, really?

thanks

[conflictresolution]

Why not? It's bring in more clientele

[incorrigibles]

i mean, sure

just not sure there's a whole lot of ghosts here on the market for drinks

[conflictresolution]

You aren't the only dead person here. Simply the only incorporeal one.

[incorrigibles]

well yeah, but i bet most dead people can still eat and drink the same as the non-dead

[conflictresolution]

Do you miss that?

[incorrigibles]

what fucking question is that

of course i miss it

[conflictresolution]

It was a simple inquiry. No need to get testy.

[incorrigibles]

well, you're the one who asked that from the guy who's been a ghost for thirty-five years

[conflictresolution]

Does the timeline of your ghostness matter?

[incorrigibles]

that's how many years i've had to make a list of all the stuff i'm missing

[conflictresolution]

Hmm, fair enough. At least you don't lose emotions as a ghost.

[incorrigibles]

yeah, guess there's that

wouldn't be much of a person if i did, now would i

[conflictresolution]

I've seen some emotionless wrecks in my day.

[incorrigibles]

trust me, me too

and not for nothing, but there's ways for ghosts to turn like that. go vengeful, for example

but at least there's a reason for that happening
