Is your rate per word? Per minute?

Re: done

[makedown]

[shakes her head]

EmpEnt pays in bulk.

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

And normally how would you handle this sort of project? Outside of EmpEnt, that is.

Re: done

[makedown]

I'm fairly sure that to answer that question here of all places would be a breach of something.

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

[oops there goes being normal]

... I'm willing to pay for this myself, out of pocket.

Re: done

[makedown]

Weren't you reluctant to let me write the bare minimum for you just yesterday?

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

... I would like to see what sort of work you're able to produce without the limitations set by my company.

Re: done

[makedown]

Why. Aren't you perfectly capable of writing your own scripts?

And happy with them, too?

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

You may or may not have heard about this already, but us performers of the Limelight Stage are only back in Port Manteau temporarily. Once I board the ship again, I will return to being limited in terms of how much content I can reliably deliver on a regular basis.

Re: done

[makedown]

Uh-huh...?

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

[what do you mean "uh-huh", what more do you need me to explain]

... Therefore.

Re: done

[makedown]

Therefore...?

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

... Therefore it would be very helpful to have assistance with paid content.

Re: done

[makedown]

. . . Did you only realize that right now, or were you giving me a hard time on Nyoom on purpose?

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

Let's just say things have been somewhat... overwhelming since coming back.

Re: done

[makedown]

Uh-huh...?

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

... Why do I get the impression that you don't believe me?

Re: done

[makedown]

[sigh]

I believe you.

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

But you're not interested.

Re: done

[makedown]

Not in working for someone who is allergic to saying please and I'm sorry when it matters, no. Why do you think someone whose work you treated as redundant just yesterday would jump at the chance to work with you now?

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

I. I didn't...??

[did I????]

Re: done

[makedown]

I'll expand this to be longer so that there is more time for foreplay with no extra charge. I won't go over ten minutes, though.

Re: done

[nymphcompoop]

[wait, abort, abort, I want a do over]

—N-No, that's not—
