A proposition for you, Beacon:
The Night Market is set to return this month, and with them, the machine that gives answers.
For reasons a certain subset of you will understand, I refuse to go anywhere near the thing ever again.
And yet, I still have questions.
Hold that thought for a moment.
Some of you have come to me with requests for new tablet programs. "Apps" as we call them, but I realize that term means nothing to people from worlds without it.
In the past, I offered my services relatively free of charge. Spirit of goodwill and all that.
But I did say it wouldn't last forever.
Henceforth, anyone requiring new apps or other technological assistance will be charged one answer from the Night Market's machine.
The answer must be to a question of my choosing, and it must be documented in order to count.
Payment is expected upfront, and all payments are non-refundable for obvious reasons.
If you require a portfolio of my work, you're probably already using it.
Aside from the few basic functions, a good deal of the apps on these tablets are mine.
If you require an incentive that isn't tablet-related, I'll lay one other offer on the table:
I still know the location of a place that this group has yet to discover.
But that'll cost you two answers.
The short version, for those of you too lazy to read:
If you want anything from me, you'll have to ask a question to the machine, and give me the answer with proof of where you got it.
A simple transaction, but if you have any questions, don't worry, those are still free.
[OOC NOTE: any apps/modifications characters request from Will still need to be approved as player projects by the mods. They will likely take some time to create, especially since he lost his fancy hacker tablet, so nothing will be instant. If you have any ooc questions, hit me up over at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

[hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.]
no subject
I don't see why not, I guess.
Just know that what you cash it in for will be limited to what I'm offering here.
This isn't going to be one of those "you owe me an unspecified and likely dubious favor" situations.
no subject
I'm actually more interested in that secret new place you mentioned. In the spirit of camaraderie, wouldn't just telling us be more worthwhile?
no subject
Trust me, I've told the lovely Beacon public plenty of things "in the spirit of camaraderie".
I'm not withholding vital information.
Besides, someone's already agreed to pay for it.
no subject
[He doesn't appreciate the being condescended to.]
no subject
No, I'm saying that so that you know it's off the table.
Someone has, in fact, done business with my smarmy ass.
If I wanted the price higher I would've said so from the start.
I'm not here to run an auction, I've made my demands quite clear.
