So. I've been thinking about it, and I finally decided that instead of just spending my times killing time and wandering, I should get an actual job. It'll be a fun, new experience because I've never done steady work before.

But you're all looking at the newest local radio DJ. If I remember correctly, my role was described as 'morning shock jock'. I love the lingo around here.

A job? But why?

Boredom, mostly. Also curiosity.

And money. I guess money is also good. Still.. it's so much .. work.

Money is also good. They're really weird about accepting gold. I really don't get it.

I have to actually wake up for a change, but other than that, it's just me talking shit. You know. What I normally do without getting paid for it.

I don't get it either, but I make them take it. I'm not going to carry around all this money and not be able to use it.

That doesn't sound all that fun, but I get it. Bargaining isn't really a thing around her either.

I think they might think we're lying when we say it's gold. That's the only reason I can come up with as to why they're so hesitant to take it.

I've noticed that, that most places have fixed prices. You must be going out of your mind.

That's a possibility. I guess there's not really a way to turn this gold into these.. dollars or whatever they're calling it. It's ridiculous.

I don't see how anyone can stay open, refusing to haggle like that. I try not to buy anything.

Not here, at least. I've been doing some research, though, and apparently our money is worth a lot more than theirs.

Come on, Vex. You've got to at least buy food.

That's true. I like that.

Food is so expensive though.

So, really, they should be paying us for giving the gold to them. I think I might actually try that argument next time, see how it goes.

I know. A store I went into insisted on me paying an entire gold for the apple I was trying to buy because I didn't have any of their currency. Back home, that would have been enough to get 5 bushels worth of apples.

Let me know what they say. If you and I can't haggle, I don't see the point any more.

How they live like this, I'll never know.

I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe if I can soften someone up, you can come in and land the killing blow.

Maybe they don't. Maybe they have hundreds of people starving in the streets where this place is based on.

We do make a pretty good team, when trying to swindle people out of their money.

I wouldn't be surprised. It sounds pretty awful.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]dicklightning

And this time, it wouldn't even be swindling. It would be getting what we're legitimately due.

It's not a situation I would want to picture. Especially if their world is anything like the size of ours.

It's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

It's too bad we're stuck in here and can't actually help in some way.

That's fantastic. I'll have to try to listen to it.

Are you going to be doing your singing thing then?

Not really sure what I'm going to do for work. Apparently my appearance is a bit offputting?

I might. I haven't really decided a format yet, but they liked the shtick that I showed them when I came in.

You don't look that much different than every other dragonborn I've ever seen?

You should. You're great at the singing.

I know, right? I mean, I haven't exactly seen any other dragonborn around, but lots of cities are like that. Maybe it's the tail thing?

Awww, shucks, Gern.

Maybe? Possibly? I'm not sure how well versed in dragonborn politics these people would be. I know Vox Machina, and I didn't have a damn clue that there was a difference before we ended up in Draconia.

You're good at the whole dick lightning too, but I'm not sure that's a radio thing. Granted, I'm not sure what a radio is either.

Yeah, your friends told me a bit about that. Fucking tailed scum. Surprised you didn't all get yourselves killed.

I don't think I would be able to do that on the radio. It seems to be a completely audio medium. It's sort of like these things, but it's got a programmed schedule. And you can't talk back.

I'm pretty sure the only reason we didn't is because we admitted to just being a bunch of really confused people from the mainland who had no idea what we were doing.

Maybe I should do a radio thing. I might be more successful if people don't have to, you know...look at me. That's apparently the problem.

Sounds about right. You lot are sort of idiots a lot. I noticed that.

I like your face. It's a nice face.

We genuinely had no idea. Though, come to think of it, we maybe should have thought about it some more since the only dragonborn we've ever really met outside of Draconia, other than Tiberius, didn't have tails. And Tibs was a special case.

How would you like it if I just went about saying humans weren't normal?

Except one is a mythical creature from a land of fantasy and wonder, and the other is the standard bipedal creature in this place?

You are literally a mythical fantasy to most of us. It's very odd.

Are all humans this self-important? I'll have to ask Percy and Kash. I'd hate to make assumptions about an entire race. Because that would be awful.

Oh my god. You seemed confused, and I was trying to explain. Why is it that the only people who are fine with me pointing out their weird shit as weird shit are Peter and Roman? Can't I just call a spade and spade and leave it at that?

And your explanation is my species is wrong. You don't think that's a bit rude? I mean, it's definitely a bit humanocentric to assume everyone ought to be human. There's plenty of folks here who aren't.

But they're also humanoid? Maybe a bit shorter, maybe a bit taller, maybe with pointed ears, or some sort of other oddity, but nothing that looks like a giant reptile suddenly gained sentience.
