Hi guys, I have kind of a weird question, so bear with me... Would you trust this chicken to manage your real estate properties? How much would you pay a chicken for a job like this? I wish I was joking, but I think past-me once employed a chicken. As a manager. Really.

Good money to what tune?

[judgementkazzy]

I don't remember the specifics, but I got a briefcase full of cash the other day from Retrospec.
It was a lot of yen.

[evidentiary]

That seems incredibly suspect.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, it was a little weird.
But considering the years printed on the bills, I think it was probably related to the time I spent working real estate.
They were all from the 80s.

[evidentiary]

Do you intend to use that money?

[judgementkazzy]

I think I might invest it.
I haven't decided yet.

[evidentiary]

You could invest it in the network, really.

[judgementkazzy]

You mean like give Retrospec the money?
They're the ones who sent it to me.

[ Kiryu, that's probably not what she meant. ]

[evidentiary]

I mean like investing it into resources for those of us who use the network.

[judgementkazzy]

Oh.
Well I'm thinking I'll donate at least half of it to charity.
The holidays are coming up and all.

[ Also probably not what she meant, dude. ]

[evidentiary]

That's a good idea. But I meant that many people here could probably use assistance with things they are "regaining".

[judgementkazzy]

Ah, I see what you mean.
I wouldn't mind helping people, but I'm a little worried that if I made some kind of announcement I'd attract the wrong sort of crowd.

[ Maybe a few months ago, he would have trusted people more, but memories have given him reason to doubt strangers... ]

REVA does things like helping people on Retrospec, right?
Maybe I could ask Minako if they need anything...

[evidentiary]

Is there a lot of the wrong crowd to be attracted on here?

[judgementkazzy]

[ Hmmm, she's right, Kiryu can't bring himself to not be nice to people, it's his nature. ]

I can't say for sure. Maybe?
I want to believe in people.
But some people prefer to do work themselves rather than accept handouts.
Maybe if I frame it as a Christmas present, people would be okay with it...?

[evidentiary]

I don't see why not. After all, it's nearly that holiday...and it is rather a big deal to many people? Even if it's not about that, it could be a New Years thing.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, I guess that could work.
Maybe I can ask people for their wishlists once it gets closer to December.

[evidentiary]

I'd actually be interested to see what everyone here comes up with...

[judgementkazzy]

It could be fun.
What would you get, if money was no object?

[evidentiary]

Nothing actually springs to mind. I suppose I'm more interested in information than material objects, usually?

[judgementkazzy]

So you'd want something like... a computer to keep your information?
Or like a surveillance system

[evidentiary]

I suppose a laptop in good condition would be the best bet for that? Or one with something particular.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, probably something like that.
I guess I'll write you down for a laptop.

[evidentiary]

You don't have to do that for me, truly.

[judgementkazzy]

I have a lot of money.
A lot of it.

But see, not everyone wants to get a gift.
That's kind of why I figure a charity might be better.

[evidentiary]

A charity might not be a bad idea, no. Or just resources. I know there's some sort of training club, but I'm not sure it's something that everyone is comfortable with. Something more professional might be good?
