[she stands with her fingers laced in front of her and a cool expression]

It occurs to me that there are many... arrivals to this city who have businesses and organizations with no idea how to operate the financial side of things. To that end I offer my services to at least put you in a direction where you can manage your own at a basic level, though I am willing to do consultation on a semi-permanent basis.

Also personal finances, if that's required, but don't expect me to be kind. Money isn't, nor is the world.

[but she will try to help figure out what others want and how to get it]

No music based interests need inquire. I will have no part of that. Gracias.

Please let me know at any time.


Otherwise, I am looking for a woman named Faye. Is there anyone who might know or know how to get into contact with her? I would appreciate it.

[He ignores the network fairly easily most days. But that voice...he could pick it out from a thousand yards.

And he's glad that she's still striving. Even if the part about music stings for the moment that he allows it. It's his fault, he has no right to let it hurt him. So he will just be happy for her, and guilty that he can't help her.

He lost that right a long time ago.]

[she feels a faint surge of irritation at something unnamed but it's gone as quickly as it arrives.]

Hello?

*Excuse her while she stares, trying to figure out if that is a mask if she's actually a skeleton*

I'm Faye...

[Video]

[la_matrona]

[she's well used to the staring even if she finds it particularly annoying]

I am Señora Rivera. You are the owner of Dray's workshop, are you not?

[Video]

[myfayevalentine]

*Oh! Is this a business thing? Faye suddenly sits up straight and is doing a lot less staring*

Yes, that's right. How can I help?

[Video]

[la_matrona]

I wish to buy Dray's shop from you. Are you willing to sell?

[Video]

[myfayevalentine]

Oh. Right. Well... Perhaps. What would you like to use the space for?

Why no music based interests? That's like a good chunk of entertainment related things.

video

[la_matrona]

Because I will have nothing to do with it. Music leads to disaster and heartache and that's all there is to it.

[nepu]

Wait a second, disaster ? Isn't music meant to bring joy and happiness ?

[la_matrona]

Perhaps. But not to us. To me and my familia music is a curse. It is better off forgotten.

[nepu]

Have you tried going on a quest to remove this music curse?

[On the contrary, money has been very kind to Ches indeed! He gets paid for trolling around a haunted house, doesn't pay rent, and on top of that often gets offered free tea and snacks from cat-people all over Genessia. It's an easy life for some.]

I only spend money on the most essential things!

[la_matrona]

I'm sure you do. [her voice is warm and fond] I have a present for you if you decide to come visit, my handsome gatito.

[riddlemehiss]

A present for me? Is it my Unbirthday?

[...pause. Thinking.]

It is my Unbirthday! How frabjous!

[la_matrona]

Unbirthday? [she's never heard of it before]

[riddlemehiss]

Unbirthday! Like a birthday, but an unbirthday!

[Does that...help?]

[brat_from_hell]

Do you have any advice on how to get a job, miss? I've applied at some places but a lot of people think I'm too young to work.

[Video]

[la_matrona]

How old are you? [because she looks quite young]

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

I don't know anymore. This place's calendar isn't like the calendar on my world. At least eight years old. But I'm a sorcerer. And I owned a business before!

[Video]

[la_matrona]

That is quite young. [poor little thing] Why do you want to work when you could play instead? Childhood doesn't last forever. You should enjoy it niño

How about gaming?

[Okay there might be music based games but that was a small portion of the games she had in her Arcade slash pokemon gym.]

[la_matrona]

[Imelda has no idea what she means by 'gaming'. But assumes it's to do with board games or cards perhaps]

I can help with the finances, of course, so long as you understand I've no expertise in that field.

video;

[gamerrep]

I can always help you learn about games. In that way we both help each other out.

video;

[la_matrona]

We'll see. I don't have to know about them to help you with numbers. [and games have never been terribly interesting to her anyway]
