Lovisia: "Letter says payment is attractive man for each task completed, no?"

~points to the section that reads "You will be rewarded handsomely for completing the objectives which are as follows:"~

Asagi: Oh. No, no, that's a turn of phrase meaning that the reward is unspecified but would be something substantial and in a manner that would please us, or at least our bank accounts.

...Although they'd probably not be surprised if we demanded handsome men as payment. >.>

Asagi: True. But there's a surprising amount of people who offer those, I've found. Usually when you're given an offer that's vague, it leaves a lot more room to haggle and get a better reward than their initial payment based on expectations that were or weren't met.

Asagi: True. But this is the Ordo Chronos. The more time they would spend trying to weasel out of their deals, the less time they have to do their actual job since literally every second possibly counts. Which puts the ball well in our court. grin

"Great! Already gives idea for negotiations." evil grin

"What else is knowing about Ordo Chronos?"

Asagi: Well, that's most it. Some niggling voice in my head says that their main job is studying time anomalies made by "The Warp", so it tends to either suck them in or bounce them around like they're Jack Harkness. Whoever that is.

So anything that involves them stopping their warring over calendars to put up job posting has to be something very notable in some fashion, even if it might take hundreds or thousands of years to see what that notability is.

Asagi: Probably. I never went to college. Or school in general. Most of my learning came from flashing signals while I sat in a box for years on end.

Asagi: Oh. Well, my education was mostly sitting in a really cramped box without any lights, except a bunch of yes or no question prompts that would flash before my eyes, only to get replaced by others once I answered. And it just kind of went like that for years and years and years until...

...You know, I don't really remember what happened afterwards. But that's par for the course. >.>

Elana: -to Monomi- So you're a thinking machine.

-Elana is notably less shocked by Lovisia's arrival... perhaps because of the walking teddy bear-

Roy: "I got my teaching from my clan back at a space train, mostly from my parents and good Ol' Gran-Gran. No fancy textbooks but through hands-on experience passed through the generations."

@Asagi "Tell me about it, I also got shit memory."
