☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Oh, you're that... Beatin's yes-man... - Penelope slapped her forehead, realizing she was talking to Beata, not Guion. - I've been working too hard... Good afternoon, Beata. I'm a bit busy right now, so the extent of my help will depend on the terms. How much will the tickets cost, and what percentage of their sales are you offering me?

With an effort of will, Beata refrained from starting a scandal over the insult to Guion. "Now is not the time. But I'll remember this." - Ugh... The city is going through difficult times right now, so we're not going to charge the audience - it's very important to maintain a good mood among the citizens. This venture is based on my personal enthusiasm and the small funds we have 😅 Our theater has always been free, so we're upholding the tradition," she smiled. - But I think I'll put out a donation box so that everyone who can and wants to can support us. If we collect a substantial amount, we'll donate 2/3 to the city's reconstruction, if it's a small amount - half, and we'll divide the rest equally among all the performers, plus each of the artists (including the musicians) will be guaranteed at least 50 rem from our personal funds. For you... I would, of course, offer 100 rem instead of 50, but I understand that this is not exactly the amount you are used to dealing with, and how much we can collect from donations is unknown, but it is unlikely to be a fantastic amount. So... that's all we have," she spread her hands.

- Okay, I'll come with a drum. Where and at what time should I show up?

- Thank you, thank you, you've saved us!!! The performance will be in the port district, near Carneol's headquarters. Tonight we'll rehearse and finalize the program... We'll probably start gathering around six o'clock. And tomorrow is the actual performance.
