Talos- (wow this is real. Gonna find some food for her I guess. Wait a sec.) Ramona. Ramona

*hears Ramona in a distance*

Ramona- give it to me

Man- you have to pay for it I got a business to run

*talos gets up as fast as possible*

Talos- what's going on *sees them fighting over a moon cake*

Man- is this your daughter sir *accidently let's go*

Ramona- ha I win

Talos- no but I'm responsible for this mess. Here how much is the cake? *pulls out wallet with 400$

Man- 2 gold

Talos- ok then *gives 2 dollars*

Man- what's this?

Talos- 2 dollars

Man- did you just hand me paper

Ramona- you gave him paper

Man- just forget it she can keep it. Man you really have no gold, well your young why not be a taskmaster they make well money my son became one and has his own house.

Talos- what's that?

Man- seriously where are you from? Do you know anything? Task masters do jobs for people like helping an old lady do groceries or walking someone's dog. I have a holoscroll around here somewhere. Ah found it. *gives scroll to talos*

Talos- uh ok. *opens scroll and has a holographic touch screen* woah! What the heck this world is pretty advanced for a world that looks old.

Man- you apply with your name and a password. It'll give you a currency code to send people money or you can make your gold pop into your pocket, literally.

Talos- alright got it. Do you want this back? Or do I..

Man- keep it, I have a bunch of them in the back and need to get rid of some.

Talos- thanks, (how does this work, it doesn't use WiFi but it updates still)

Man- for a job you can see the distance and how much you get paid for it and still message people Incase you need any extra information on the job.

Talos- this one says I can babysit for 50 gold.

Man-that's a good start

Talos- alright this is cool I guess I should start working now and maybe pay back for that cake too.

Ramona- mr.talos I'm bored

Talos- oh, well bye sir thanks for the help.

Man- no problem kid

*leaves*

Talos- alright I'm keeping you with me right now until we find someone. Actually I guess I don't have a home either.

Ramona- your supposed to help me.

Talos- I am but you running around like that isn't safe

Ramona- well… so what?

Talos- hey watch it! I'm gonna do this delivery one

*does deliveries left and right*

Talos- it's cool that I'm allowed to own a house being only 16

Ramona- I'm gonna go watch Salina on my holoscript

Talos- I'm going to sleep for the night. goodnight

Ramona- goodnight mr.talos
