002 | Video - Doesn't this idea just smell DELICIOUS?

[plzcallmemama]

[The video flicks on as Jennifer randomly keys in a button. She's humming a little as she stirs a random pot over the stove. Yep! Jennifer's busy making dinner for Klarth as per their arrangement. Which is why she thought of this lovely little idea...]I was thinking, since I need something to do and I love to cook, and well, why not, really? But

Filtered away from...banks. And bankers. And stuff.

You barely need credit. I got them t' gi' me a loan and I'd only been here for a week. Y' just need t' look respectable. Though if y' took ALL the profits t' feed the homeless I doubt you'd make the money back.

/so filtered!

[plzcallmemama]

But it wouldn't really be a profit if I had to pay back the loan now would it? That would be an expense!

[hesitates]

They really let you do that? I've only been here a few days myself so that would come in really handy if they did! Who did you go to?

[Name of a City Bank, location, phone number, appearance of building, tmiiiiii]

Aye, they do. You just have t' make sure you really sell yourself.

[jkalds;f NOT SO FAST! Scrambling for paper]

Okay, so that was... [rattles all that info back and nods happily, tucking the slip into her apron pocket]

Wonderful! I'll have to give them a call soon and set up an appointment. I'm certain I'll be able to sell them on my confidence! [or enthusiasm. That was just as good as confidence!]

I'm Jennifer! Who should I be thanking?

You wanna open a soup kitchen in the City?

[ voice ]

[plzcallmemama]

Well, yes, sort of. It's more like a curry kitchen. Everyone needs something a bit heartier then soup once in a while!

[ voice ]

[srsbusinessk]

That's a great idea. And, um...I can probably help you out with getting it started.

[ voice ]

[plzcallmemama]

You can? I'm not at all sure what it will take to get a business started, but I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun! I'd love it if you wouldn't mind helping out here and there.

What can you do?

[lookjustlike]

You could donate the profits to the Welcome Center, maybe. But it sounds like you're a little while away from that. I'm not really sure about loans and stuff.

[plzcallmemama]

[headtilt] Welcome Center? [Jennifer missed that notice, whoops!]

[lookjustlike]

Oh, yes there's one by the Square. One of my friends is involved and I try to help out sometimes. There's guidebooks-not 100% reliable, but still--a couple of beds, and sometimes classes on technology like how to use the devices.

[plzcallmemama]

[giggles] Well that would have been a nice thing to know! I probably walked right past it too. That does sound like a nice idea.

And maybe I could donate some of the food to the patrons too! Or give them free lunches or something if they bring a voucher over to the restaurant. I'm sure something can be arranged. Thank-you for the lovely suggestion!

[Also, guidebooks! Yay! She'll have to get her hands on one of those.]

[notflynn]

Hey, if you need the money, just let me know. For something like that, I wouldn't mind donating.

[plzcallmemama]

That's... You... That's very generous of you! Are you sure though? I can't guarantee it'll be a success, but it can't hurt to try and well, I'd be very grateful if you did!

[notflynn]

Sure. I've got the funds.
