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 leucrotta or just PM Will's journal.]

But you were so charming dyed blue.

What are the limitations of your "app" building?

[featherknives]

What if they lie?

I have no questions of my own. I would ask two for the sake of expanding our territory.

Though tell me- why keep it a secret? Is it solely to keep yourself useful?

@Grandmaster

[paletteswap]

What did it charge you?

@fjord

[fjorgedinfire]

Say we wanna bank a favour from you for the future. You interested in giving us folks a question to answer now, that we can cash in later?

[hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.]

@elvira

[vampirella]

jesus christ can we keep it to the tl;dr next time?

you don't need six paragraphs to say "hey, i'm too scared to ask myself, what sucker is dumb enough to do it for me"

[primordialerebus]

I can ask questions, but since I don't really have any requests, you can just put them on a tab for others or something.

What questions are particularly interesting to you?

I would like an improved and detailed note-taking application complete with project management tools. The word processing tool currently available does not allow for tabs, color coordinated settings, nor an easy table and spreadsheet functionality.

This doesn't seem like a good deal at all. Has anyone been stupid enough to say yes?
