[The feed activates to show Stride, who appears to be somewhere in the city today. He's enjoying a cigarette and part of a song.]

Oh when tomorrow comes, there'll be nothing but fun~! Nan na na na na na na na~

[Abruptly, he seems to notice that he's on the network. Rather than be flustered, he grins and waves.]

Afternoon. I hope you enjoyed the fun little week we set up for you. <3 I've got some news for you. I'm sure you noticed that the city had a significant increasse in population over the week...

Well, in response, we decided that it's time to introduce currency into the system. Obviously, or not, this means you need jobs. Not instantly or anything, but very soon. So take some time to figure out what you can do, while we figure out how to pay you~<3


That's all I have for now. Later.

When tomorrow comes, we'll be walking in the sun~

And what happens if we refuse to gain a job?

[a3stepnpc]

Almost the same thing that happens in nearly any universe where money is needed to manage life.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

I'll be grateful for the fact that my life is maintained in a different way then.

[a3stepnpc]

Then I suppose that makes you lucky. Housing will remain something that need not be paid for.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

Lucky in a sense, unlucky in another. So long as there is no need for a rent, that is surely the silver lining.

[a3stepnpc]

Glad to hear it then.

[17thfreewill.livejournal.com]

When it comes from you, that statement can be slightly questionable.

[a3stepnpc]

What's so questionable about me being happy for someone?

[wolvespride.livejournal.com]

Currency?

[a3stepnpc]

Ah, Kiba. Doing better I hope?

And currency is money. Are you familiar with the use?

[wolvespride.livejournal.com]

You obviously know that answer.

Vaguely. I don't see the point in it.

[a3stepnpc]

If I knew then I wouldn't ask.

It's rather like trading but for a set term. That way say one apple can't be requested for say, five oranges just because a person feels their one apple is worth that much.

[wolvespride.livejournal.com]

You knew my name and former condition without asking.

It sounds like an idiotic system for humans.

[a3stepnpc]

I did. But I don't spend every moment specifically monitoring you.

It's a system that many communities human and otherwise use to support themselves and each other. Like a more complicated version of things like ants or prairie dogs.

[wolvespride.livejournal.com]

Hm.

Neither of which I am or know.

[a3stepnpc]

Well, it's not required as long as there's nothing you need that will cost money.

A suggestion would be to figure out if you can manage in this community without it and go from there.

[3rdturnfreeze.livejournal.com]

Currency is something I have no use for.

[a3stepnpc]

Then you don't have to worry about it unless that changes. We're not forcing you to work. imply saying that it has to be done to get money.

[bratty-tomboy.livejournal.com]

What?! You people brought us here, and now you expect us to work?

No way is that happening, bucko.

[a3stepnpc]

We didn't bring you here, and you don't have to work...but then we don't have to give you money.

[bratty-tomboy.livejournal.com]

Then who did?! I want to have a little chat with those people.

[A pause.]

Good. I'm not working then.

[a3stepnpc]

If you don't know the dieties of your world then I suppose I can't tell you.

That's fine. You sound like you have a plan to provide for yourself.

[bratty-tomboy.livejournal.com]

And why not?

Of course. I can carry my own weight, thank you very much.

[a3stepnpc]

Because their intent may not be for you to know them. Who am I to go against that?

Well since work is apparently out of the question, I'll look forward to seeing just how you pull your weight.

[bratty-tomboy.livejournal.com]

Fine. I'll just figure it out on my own, then.

You should.
