☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Rushes in.

- Penelope, good day! Long time no see. You know how things are with us in Karneol 😅 I see your business is thriving! As for us... we want to boost the city's morale and are organizing a circus performance. Right now, Guiyo and I are running around all over Margel 😅 We need all the help we can get. I remember you mentioning that you had some connection to the circus at one point? I... - she glances around, assessing the interior and the appearance of her interlocutor, - ...I don't think it would be appropriate to invite you to jump on stage with us, considering you have a successful and prestigious business, while Guiyo, Levi from SRI, and I are scraping together the last rems from our own pockets to organize the event and provide a symbolic payment to the performers - unless you want to, of course. But I would be grateful for any advice or leads, especially since I'm still hoping to find an animal trainer - for cats or dogs, perhaps - and maybe a clown, although we could probably find a clown among the people of Karneol, - she snorted, suppressing a laugh. "We're already gathering quite a crowd. I hope Guiyo has taken care of finding musicians. I wonder how we'll pay them all... Although, I have a brilliant idea. I definitely don't plan to charge admission, but we could put out a donation box - we'll return part of the proceeds to Levi for the city's restoration, and the rest will go towards paying the performers."

- What instrument are you interested in, and what kind of payment are you offering?

- As for instruments, we don't have much choice - whatever you usually play will be fine; your instrument will work. A trumpet or drum would be ideal, but anything will be useful! And regarding payment... Guiyo pondered, calculating their finances with Beata and how many people they could hire. "Okay... I've already spent 150 rems on costumes, so we have 950 rems left for the two of us. Let's say Beata finds some workers and manages to stay within a budget of 100 rems. That leaves us with 850 rems. Beata and Alaria will probably perform for free... Hmm. Let's calculate the maximum. Three musicians, and how many performers will Beata find? Let's say five. And we need to have some reserve - in case we need to buy something or find someone else. If we pay 100 rems each, it will be a tight squeeze, and we won't have much room to maneuver. Hmm, I have a great idea; maybe it will work, and Beata will definitely like it. A donation box, so that those who want to and can support us can do so. We'll use part of the funds for the city's restoration and part for the performers' salaries." - To be honest, I can't name a specific amount. But the minimum amount we will pay from our own funds - he patted his pocket - is 50 rems. If we're lucky, you'll get more, but I can't promise that.
