[searingedgelord]

Yeah, I guess that's true.

[She really hadn't spent much time on Water World, but she knew the weapons had been pretty useless to her.]

I'm looking for something kind of specific, though. I might need to have it made.

[outstandingbalance]

At the very least, you're in the place for it. As long as you can get the money.

[searingedgelord]

Right. Money.

[It's hard to do sketchy things like smuggling and piracy when your clothes draw some much attention.]

[outstandingbalance]

You have any work lined up?

[Natasha is a helper.]

[searingedgelord]

Not yet. I've been getting too much attention.

[outstandingbalance]

Which means you're looking for a low profile job. Too bad. You could make a lot of money taking up modeling.

[Very, very wry, considering their last conversation.]

[searingedgelord]

No, thanks.

[That sounds like a nightmare, to be honest.]

[outstandingbalance]

What kind of skills do you have?

[searingedgelord]

You mean besides fighting?

[Since that's sort of implied by her desire for weapons. And probably also her general demeanor since Natasha can read people.]

[outstandingbalance]

I wouldn't rule that out entirely, if you had an idea how to market it that's this side of legal.

[searingedgelord]

That's not something I usually worry about.

[outstandingbalance]

But you don't usually have an audience.

[searingedgelord]

[Well, not for lack of trying on Magilou's part.]

Is the audience real picky about their source of entertainment doing things legally?

[Assuming the audience she's talking about is the one that's supposedly watching them for funsies.]

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, I didn't mean them.

[Natasha tips her head toward one of Velvet's fans.]

I meant them. The real audience probably enjoys a little crime caper.

[searingedgelord]

Oh, right.

[She sighs. Back to that problem.]

Maybe I should check out one of the less populated asteroids.

[outstandingbalance]

Couldn't hurt. Some of those feel pretty lawless.

[searingedgelord]

I guess I can look into it.

[If that doesn't work out there's always mundane stuff like cooking or cleaning. Though she's hesitant to ask people to pay for her cooking since she has no way of tasting her creations and doesn't have any idea what kind of flavors are common in space food.]

[outstandingbalance]

If you want money, at least. There's a lot to do.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. There seems to be a lot of variety here, at least.

[It didn't seem to her that there was as much going on in Water World, but then again she wasn't actually there for long.]

[outstandingbalance]

It's less one world and more a bunch of little ones.

[searingedgelord]

Little ones with some common themes.

[outstandingbalance]

A few, yeah. But they're very different in some ways too.

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, I guess so.

[outstandingbalance]

Some of those ways count. It's the wild west out on some of those rocks.

[searingedgelord]

The wild west, huh?

[She doesn't really understand that reference, though she gets the general idea.]
