"I want to read it after you are finished." Islandish.

"You could get your own copy, Bar isn't copies-limited."

"I did- Um. I said that in practice." She switches languages. "Bar, I'd like that second copy please."

Security handbook! Most rules apply only in the main bar area, defined thus. You are guaranteed to be scheduled with patrons who you can take but not guaranteed to suffer no work-related injuries, but use of the infirmary is free (even for non-personnel). Bar has an extension into the Security office and will alert you to disturbances if you do not have your own solution to that.

"I very well might. Listen to that, whatever controls the doors! I want to come back and work security with a really cool mini-walker so you'd better let me!"

Assignment regularity is not guaranteed.

"Because of the doors, or not-every-time-I-show-up?"

Because of the doors. You will have the opportunity to sit at least one shift whenever you find a door.

"Okay that's what I expected. And the pay is 'reasonable based on your capabilities' probably?"

Pay is by subjective time in whatever currency you prefer and commensurate with performance. It also comes with a room in the bar which you may use at any time provided you sit your assigned shifts, even if you spend considerable time in the bar and not sitting shifts. What would you like your starting rate denominated in?

"Starting rate assuming I come back with gear as described - in her money." She looks at the reply-napkin and nods in approval. "That'll work, sure. I'll be here for a long while today still though."

Of course.

Back to Islandish work with Bella? "And thank you both for being so helpful by the way."

It's no trouble at all.

"You're welcome!"

Several hours could probably pass without much of note; Language practice and studying up on Bella's world's technology and society need not be relayed in significant detail.

And eventually Bella holds the door for Walta.

Who has a bunch of various new stuff in her toolbelt and a significant chunk of local currency.

She walks through. "Can you still understand me?"

"Yeah."

"Unless you think I should try to buy a 'mon - any recommendation for what to get you to catch? A grazing one, fire type is nice but if that's difficult then okay."

"I can get you a Ponyta. They graze and evolve into Rapidash like Fireflower."

"Ooh, I like. Do you buy the ball or me?"

"I can grab it. I can get a two-pack, I was going to get one in the mart anyway, Rachis's one has a hinge wearing through."

"I can maybe fix a hinge if it's not, um. No word. Metal being tired?"

Bella lets Rachis out and offers her the ball.
