[Obviously, farming wasn't her style. But she knew she had to make money. As long as she was stuck in this place, she had to do what she could to survive. It was the first time she wasn't outright guaranteed a job of some kind. This was the frugal life, and she had to deal with it. But there had to be a better way to make some kind of profit. Anything to avoid breaking her feeble small body, she guessed.

Which meant Daria had to work at trying to make best out of her bad situation now (being whisked away AGAIN and all) and try...to do something about it. So for a few days, she spent extra time reading books. For research. Lots of research.



Which brought her to today. Now she had a question. She wasn't good at asking the public for things, or good with the public in general. But anyway, information. She needed it.]

I need some ginger root and glass jars. If anyone knows where I can get them pretty cheaply, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

i have jars i found by chance!

they're covered with dirt but i can wash them out for you

[standingonmyneck]

[...Oh hey, that’s. Nice.]

That’s nice of you. You didn’t have to go through that much trouble.

[hyakuman]

nah it's no problem, i'm just handing out some jars, they could do some cleaning

unless you wanna make it a trade for it

[standingonmyneck]

[Didn’t feel right to take, especially in this weird ass economy. As much as she would bitch about capitalism, she can’t pretend she’s the only one probably poor.]

That depends on what you’re looking to trade for.

[hyakuman]

how about a time of your day for the jars?

[whisted]

What kind of jar?

[standingonmyneck]

Glass ones. Like those mason jars. You could buy at bulk easy even if you were a broke college student back at my place. But now I’m not at college and still broke.

[whisted]

Sorry, I wasn't clear. What size of jar? Half-pint? Half-gallon? Wide mouth?

[standingonmyneck]

Half pints. Or even smaller if you can. I don’t know how much material I’m going to be able to afford. So better safe than sorry on it.

[whisted]

Smaller?

What are you making?

[shotinhead]

I've found what this place called Ginger Root growing. How much are you offering?

[standingonmyneck]

Depends how much they are. I’m not aiming to make other people just as broke.

[shotinhead]

Well, they're just laying around my farmland, so...

Shit, we use this gold here. Four gold each? There's a good conversion for when I leave here.

[standingonmyneck]

Someone who knows how to do business. I know a good deal when I see one.

[shotinhead]

Damn right I know. You have to know how to barter and make some deals - least, where I'm from. Where am I dropping these off?

I have plenty of ginger, Daria, if you would like?

[standingonmyneck]

Thanks, Aurora. I would very much. I have some cash I could give you for it. Name your price.

[beautyrest]

Oh... I admit I've never actually handled money before, or such exchanges in general.

Whatever you feel is fair will suit me fine. [How does one money? That's not a THING in the forest.]

1/3

[standingonmyneck]

[Well, there’s something to be said considering such an innocent demeanor.]

2/3

[standingonmyneck]

[Come on, Daria. You gotta help her out.]

3/3

[standingonmyneck]

If you never had to budget then that’s probably not a safe thing to do. You have to consider what’s going to help feed you.

[notjustbecauseihaveto]

Oh! I can help. I can find both of those and bring them to you. If you want.

[standingonmyneck]

Okay. What would you like for them?

[notjustbecauseihaveto]

Absolutely nothing. My internal computational matrix makes it so I'm very helpful and nice. I can't ask for anything in return. It's in my programming. I hope that's okay. If not, feel free to give me anything at all. I will treasure it forever regardless.

[standingonmyneck]

[...God, she had a headache.]

So if you're completely serious and ARE a robot/super computer, everyone here has to live off the land in some way. You're probably going to want something you could actually use.
