Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

[Aight, after giving you a brief look of honestly, Nami taks through keys until she brings up his account balance.

Then she'll hold it up so he can see. THERE'S QUITE A LOT OF MONEY IN THERE, YOU NINJA SNUGGLER.]

See?

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SPACE MONEY TRANSLATES TO OKAY, HE ONLY SEES A LOT OF NUMBERS ]

............

Is all that mine???

Not all of it, no. [She grins cheerfully and takes the thing back.] First there's the money you owe me for Diamond's picture. Plus interest, just like we agreed. And then there's the fee for seeing me naked the other night-- do you want to pay that now or some other time? Plus interest, of course.

Oh...um. I guess now is okay... [ He does very much enjoy his picture of Diamond. PROOF HOTTIES KIDNAPPED THEM TO SPACE. ]

Excellent.

[Scuse her while she transfers a chunk of your savings to her own account. She doesn't take any more than is owed; of course, Nami's definition of what's owed for seeing her naked is pretty hefty. That's what you get for being a creep. :|]

Congratulations. [She tosses the comm back.] Not only are you debt free, you've probably got more money than most other people on the fleet.

[Mainly because OTHER PEOPLE SPEND THEIRS AT SOME POINT.]

But....why?? I got fired from the meat store... [ he doesn't understand the link between space reality TV and money. ]

You get paid for being on TV. Didn't anyone ever tell you?

[You poor soul, so uneducated.]

No.....! I mean, I knew we were on TV but I didn't know it gave us money!

Well, now you do. Think of it as being paid for being forced to stick around. It's like a job.

And....you can't get fired??

They can dock your pay or decide to freeze your account, but no. Unless they send you home again. I guess that's being fired.

I don't wanna get sent home--!

Then be entertaining, I guess. [She gets why he wouldn't, but nobody's got control over that.] But I don't think it's likely. The fact you've earned so much clearly shows you're popular.

Wait, so...lots of money means they like you??

No. It means their audience finds you interesting to watch, so more people watch, so the Atroma make more money, so they reward you.

Ohhh.... [ Oddly this makes sense to him and Sascha? Actually gets it. Miracles do happen! ]

[Gasp. Hope for you yet, maybe.]

So now you know you have a steady supply of cash, what will you do with it?

Oh, uhh...I dunno! I never need money before. I guess....keep it?

Can I suggest seeing if you can hire someone to make you a sleeping mask?

On the ships, or the next time we stop somewhere...?

Well, it depends what you want to do. Someone on the ship could make a decent one for you sooner. Or the next place we go might have the materials to make a better one. Do whatever's good for you.

I don't think I know anyone who does that sort of thing.... Maybe I should wait.

You've put up with it for this long. Maybe if the next place has nothing, then you can ask around.
