[zauneyete]

So what's this I hear about pursuing more work?

Are you not being paid enough?

[antline]

oh?

no you pay me a lot

i just have debts



i keep walking out of places and forgetting to pay sometimes

also i need more bread for the ants

[zauneyete]

[ confused tails.jpg ]

You keep walking out of places and not paying.

Do they not hand you a bill?

Do I need to teach you how to keep your books?

[ silco, budgeting is an advanced skill right now, let's start small ]

I did not realize this was so dire.

[antline]

i think they may give me a bill but i don't pay attention sometimes

keep

my books?


what books

[zauneyete]

[ Oh boy ]

Your accounting books?

Money in, money out?

What could be so important that you forget to pay, anyway?

[ actual criminal silco: don't dine and dash ]

[antline]

i'm not an accountant so i don't have those books

sometimes i want to get things for the ants

im not sure really

i just forget

[zauneyete]

Oh yes, that's right. The ants.

[ THE ANTS???? ]

You know if you remained an additional few minutes, you might be able to reduce your debts by simply paying.

Think about how much more you could provide for the ants.

[antline]

i know

i try to


sometimes its hard to focus

[his fucking built-in adhd]

[zauneyete]

Ah, indeed.

[ I mean well he has experience with this ]

Perhaps you need a minder for these things.

[ an accountabilibuddy but he says it in the worst way possible ]

[antline]

what's a minder

[zauneyete]

Someone who keeps you on task.

[antline]

Oh, that's a lot. I don't want to bother anyone with doing that for me.

[zauneyete]

Then pay them for their time. I can assure you, purchasing for a companion will keep them happy as well.

[ silco's secret... He just pays people ]

[antline]

hire someone?

i don't know how to do that. how much would one pay?

[zauneyete]

It's quite easy. Just ask.

I would say for the time you are out, you could pay in kind.

Meals, whatever it is you are having. Or simply ask their terms. No more than... oh, a reasonable amount.

[ He means like mid-wage per hour, but he isn't clarifying ]

[antline]

i know some jobs have contracts

do i need something like that? most times i have been asked to do things without them

[zauneyete]

would it cost more to hire someone to tag along, or pay debts?

[antline]

[]

hire...someone?

[zauneyete]

Pay them? For their time? Since you don't want to bother them, right? That's the alternative.

[ machiavellian v guiless, FIGHT ]

[antline]

no i mean

it would cost more for hiring someone

maybe

i don't know how much the wage is usually i know you tried to explain

maybe i should ask everyne

maybe i shouldn't eat out at places then...

[zauneyete]

That's what I do.

[ Silco you drink blood now ]

It reflects on an employer, when their staff is seeking other work.

Perhaps taking a break from eating out would assist you in prioritizing what's important. Like the ants.

[antline]

oh

i'm sorry

i didn't mean to cause trouble for you silco

[zauneyete]

I know you didn't.

However, I worry that this will be used against you, if you are not careful. Debts owed can lead to... A great deal of trouble, if they are not handled. It's best to avoid them.

[antline]

is that so

have you been in debt before silco?

[zauneyete]

It's difficult to live in the undercity and not accrue debt. It's how they keep us from trying to break away from their control.

Indebted and barely surviving is how they kept us in the mines, when I was a boy.
