Line 1: |
− | Alkran having recovered from his session with Reman has gathered Elin, Sakura Jeala, Jack, Danyels, Rum and Chili in one of the empty cargo holds.
| |
| | | |
− | Alkran: Sorry about my absence, but I had to make up for my actions towards Terra and Lisa. So what do you have to report on the cookie sales?
| |
− |
| |
− | Sakura Jeala: We made a killing with the cookies.
| |
− |
| |
− | Elin: Figuratively of course.
| |
− |
| |
− | SJ: Right, with almost no cost and a huge markup we made very strong profits but our supply is gone since Martha won’t cook for us anymore.
| |
− |
| |
− | Elin: I even said please :bigeyes:
| |
− |
| |
− | SJ: Unfortunately the outfits drew a bit too much attention from the crew so we had to hire MCP for protection. MCP made a killing.
| |
− |
| |
− | Elin: Much more literal in this case.
| |
− |
| |
− | SJ: …and I bought a dress incase Weylin invites me to the wedding, but we still have a little left.
| |
− |
| |
− | Alkran: Alright and what about the alcoholic water sales?
| |
− |
| |
− | Rum: Well we had strong sales but between the money for Martha to repair her room and the payments to Rose for the redshirts Chili ate…
| |
− |
| |
− | Chili: (puffs up before slumping back to the floor while making a sound somewhat similar to a sigh with a few gurgles.)
| |
− |
| |
− | Rum: …we just broke even.
| |
− |
| |
− | Jack: And even worse now the crew is going back to drinking and there are two weddings coming up and Jarlot is back.
| |
− |
| |
− | Danyels: Its alright we can think of something else.
| |
− |
| |
− | Jack: No its hopeless people will always want to drink.
| |
− |
| |
− | Alkran: Maybe you just are going about it wrong instead of replacing the alcohol why not take away the reason to drink.
| |
− |
| |
− | Jack: Why do people drink?
| |
− |
| |
− | Alkran: I’m not sure but as soon as we can find out you will be closer to getting them to stop.
| |
− |
| |
− | SJ: Me and Elin can’t help. We need to draw attention to ourselves so that Weylin and Lilly remember that we are here and invite us to the weddings.
| |
− |
| |
− | Elin: We do?
| |
− |
| |
− | SJ: Of course silly we can’t let them do what they want we have to make them want what we want.
| |
− |
| |
− | Elin: If you say so.
| |
− |
| |
− | SJ and Elin head out on the way to the main deck to find a way to draw attention to themselves that doesn’t involve Girl Scout uniforms.
