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.]

I learned that here. I suppose some humans are better than others. White sheep in the herd of black ones.

[Not only she hated, but she also killed too. But that's off-topic.]

I know how technology looks like
I mean, this tablet is technology too, right?

I was thinking more of that other sciency stuff
That weird Pluto person was asking for it all over didn't they?
What was it called
Plutonium?
How does that look like?
And are there other stuff like that?

[donttalktome]

The plutonium?
Well, first of all plutonium isn't "science", it's just an element.
You can use it for science.
It's a mineral that glows, even in the dark. It'll look like a rock with a greenish light.
The only one I've seen in person here was a solid, fist-sized piece.
In that form, it's almost entirely safe unless you decide to put it in your mouth for some reason.
But if you encounter it in powder form, I wouldn't advise breathing any of it in.
It's poisonous, for lack of a better word.
I doubt you have much experience with radiation.

[Listen it's all the same to her. Science or for science.]

Okay that won't be so hard to spot, even if I fly
Although, does it glow HERE?
I mean, there's no light from anywhere except for bonfire and our lanterns.
And no, I don't have expreience

[She doesn't know what that word means, but the way the guy phrased it sounds bad.]

Would you still have use from it in powder form?

[donttalktome]

It does glow here. I'm not sure why.
The glow doesn't exactly travel far, though. It's not very bright.
Pluto never said she didn't accept it as powder.
Unless you mean me personally.
I don't even remotely have the tools to make plutonium useful, regardless of form.
