Gainful Employment [Backdate, Open]
Who: Nanami, OPEN
Where: Locations Over Aquares Ixen
When: Pre- visit to the Sage
What: Nanami looks for spending money and something to do.
Warnings: None.
Nanami had done some thinking after the trip home. So, she couldn't get out of this, and she couldn't do anything about being a Hero and in charge of making sure her world didn't get consumed. She knew how to fight, but fighting was risky, and there were Jobs that let her do other things, from the back.
But she also wanted some spending money, and something to do besides worry about how the hell they were going to win against an ancient devourer of worlds, so she decided to try something normal: look for a part-time job.
Then again, Nanami had never actually worked, or had to worry about money before Crystallis. She was rich, and her family made sure that their children never lacked for the status symbols of wealth. Living as a student was a bit of an education. So was trying to find a position as a teenager with a set of skills none too useful for many jobs.
"Excuse me, are you hiring?"

As before, Ales had taken the scrap to design several puzzles consisting of looping metal parts. The objective of these were to take all the pieces apart without the use of brute force. He hired a local human to help carry the Teensie-sized booth to the commercial district, where he set up a display with all the gadgets lines up in rows.
"Hiring?" He had expected Nanami to buy one of his cheap trinkets, not ask if he wanted to start a business. "That wouldn't be a bad idea. This is more of a side project of mine, but if I had more help, I could turn it into a lucrative venture..."
He could be a merchant again. Like old times.

Mecha and power armor was not an area that Nanami knew anything about, outside of fiction.

"The work I do is for myself. This," he gestured at the display of puzzles, "is for the public. The money's for me, of course."

He held up one of the easier puzzles meant for children: comprised of three pieces bent into odd shapes, it was handed over to Nanami. "Try this one for starters."

"So what do you think? Could you sell these on the street on days I'm busy? I'll give you ten percent - no, lets start at 5 for a few days and go on from there."
