Comments

[colorbymemory]

[Give her a moment, she's starting to catch on to this.]

I'm friends with Wash and, I think, York. Carolina I don't know as well.

My name is Namine.

[too_high]

EVERYONE'S FRIENDS WITH YORK.

[If you think you are, he's guessing you are. OF the Freelancers, Maine saw York and North as being the most affable and gets-along-with-everyone types.]

Sorry so late...again.

[colorbymemory]

[Namine smiles. York does seem like the type. She just didn't want to assume to much. That would be rude.]

He seems to get along with a lot of the others, yes.

Is there any help you need right now? Oh, but Wash and the others have probably found you...

[She trails off, having noticed that particular conversation seems to have been a bit awkward. Oh dear.]

:3

[too_high]

HOUSING?

[Yeah York and Wash were both being useless about most things.]

[colorbymemory]

Most everyone stays at the hotel at first, until they find a place they like. I think Wash, York, and North are still there.

[Well, they've got other things on their minds.]

[too_high]

WORK?

[Because he can't imagine staying in a hotel indefinitely for free, and were there other places to get 'munny' than beating up on monsters? Not that he had a problem with that, just covering all his bases.]

[colorbymemory]

I think everyone gets some munny fighting Nightmares when they go from place to place. A lot of us hunt Nightmares, but a few of us have other work. I help out at the tea shop and paint Spirits, and Even and Rarity have their own shops.

[That's about all that comes to mind at the moment.]

[too_high]

[Okay, so it was a viable source of steady income. Sounded like it was just his thing. Something catches his attnetion, though, and he glances down at Mace with a slight rumble before punching the question in,]

PAINT SPIRITS?

[colorbymemory]

[So many of them seem to find Nightmare hunting to be their thing. Odd how there always seemed to be enough to make that viable.

Namine checks the message, and nods.]

Yes, there's a paint that's safe for them. They don't seem to mind.

[too_high]

[Maine looks down at Mace again, who looks back up at him with a little giddy dance of Hey I'm Getting Attention! and yips. Yup. Maine things he should be orange.]

WHERE

[colorbymemory]

[Orange is definitely do-able, and Namine is happy to help with this.]

At the tea shop--there's a room at the back I use for painting.

[too_high]

HOW MUCH

[He did still need to figure out how much munny was usually dropped, and what the going rate was around here for certain things.]

[colorbymemory]

[A daily round of hunting seems to keep most people fairly well supplied for cash.]

Painting the whole Spirit is 60 munny. I can adjust the price if you want something a little different.

[too_high]

[He looks down at Mace, who looks up at him, and then they both grunt and Maine nods. Yeah that sounds like a good deal.]

[colorbymemory]

[Namine smiles.]

I guess I'll see you once you've settled in, then?

[too_high]

[He grunts and offers her a nod. He'll definitely be stopping by.]
