Say your rent is due at the end of the week, and you don't have it. For the last six months. How do you come up with the money in time?
If it got that bad, and assuming I've done the obvious things like selling everything I can part with, looking all over for jobs and such... I'd pack up the rest of my belongings and leave town.
I'd want to do that before building up half a year of debts, though.
Find a dog* and go truffling.
*probably a very smart, handsome one
Or sell Weft for glue
Catch some alley cats, tan their hides, and sell handmade mittens?
Get a "Libertine lifestyle to support" sign and a tambourine and busk on the streets of the Iron Flag.
Interesting suggestions all! I like the sign and busking, though not as much as the glue. Obviously.
Do people really buy cat-leather mittens? Maybe it's a regional thing...
I have two pairs. Front and back.
*Bought at his own request. I would never force biped-clothing on my dog.
That's why I don't make you wear a collar or pee in the park rofl
You know, practical problems like "he isn't yours to trade for money" aside, I bet hiring Weft our for work would gain more than selling him for glue.
That's the best idea yet - except I think Weft has a posse, one that would take the money for themselves.
Unless I could keep the posse from finding out. I'll have to mull it over.
Or you could catch some feral cats alive and rent them out for pest control.
I could let the cats take the little vermin while I go after fang-faces! The two jobs are totally similar. Awesome.
I'd be responsible for litterboxes and flea collars, though. That's sorta less awesome.
Cats have fangs, too...
oooh, shiny tangent
What the fray is this I go off on assignment and suddenly people are talking about renting me out like a pair of hedge trimmers?!? What is wrong with you people?
Lack of money?
Uhm... A tendency of going off on odd tangents to a conversation?
*looks a bit sheepish*
Weft, Weft, you've got it all wrong!
Hedge trimmers, I would want back.
To cut your hair with.
