Yo, Masaki

Remember how a while back you said you wanted to help bring purified water to Filgaia

You're ... selling water for cash? That doesn't sound like a great business plan to me. Hell, people can just go to any old tap and drink as much as they want.

[drifterforhire]

Not around here. Filgaia is a desert world. Pure, fresh water is about as rare as gold.

[glowy_brows]

That's terrible. I can't imagine what that's like.

So, you're trying to bring fresh water to share with everyone? That's really nice of you!

[drifterforhire]

Hell no! I'm going to make tons of cash and finally retire!

[glowy_brows]

You ... you're exploiting people just so you can make money? That's horrible!

[drifterforhire]

Hey, don't judge me! You don't know my situation or anything, so just butt out.

[glowy_brows]

Don't you even feel the least bit guilty about taking advantage of people like that?

[drifterforhire]

Nope, not really. If people are dumb enough to pay my asking price, well, that's there loss (and my gain).

[glowy_brows]

But think about it: you could make a real difference in your world. People would always remember you as a charitable person who helped bring water to your world. Isn't that worth more than money, which will eventually be spent? I mean, it's not like you can take it with you, no matter how much you hoard it.

God, you're spouting all that stuff about honor and justice, too? You sound like Virginia and that Eva girl ... Listen, that kinda thinking don't fly around here. If you wanna survive, you gotta take advantage of every possible resource, and sometimes that means takin' advantage of people, too.

[glowy_brows]

That sounds like a pretty harsh way to live, if you ask me.

Hey, you know Eva?

[drifterforhire]

Yeah, well, that's what happens when you live in a desert world.

We've talked a bit. What's it to you?

[glowy_brows]

Eva's my wife.

Say, I don't even know you're name. I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Jordan. Jordan C. Wilde. Pleased to meet you.

[drifterforhire]

Huh.

Okay, Jordan. I'm Jet.

[glowy_brows]

Jet ... Filgaia ... Hey, I know you! I brought Maraich to your world a while back. I knew that name sounded familiar.

[drifterforhire]

So, you know Maraich, too? Then that must make you a world-hopper, right?
