Remember how a while back you said you wanted to help bring purified water to Filgaia?

Well, if you're still serious about that, how about meeting me over at Jolly Roger? We've still got some time to kill before the next train arrives at Midland Station, so this'll be the perfect opportunity to make some quick cash. Of course, you'll get fifty percent of the profits. I'm a Drifter of my word, so don't go around saying there's no honor among thieves.

You still up for it?

Hey, how come I don't get any money?

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

You didn't bring any water with you last time!

[maraich]

Good thing, too. You were trying to sell me something that didn't work!

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

I didn't know it wouldn't work for you at the time, all right?

[maraich]

But you didn't offer to do a get rich quick scheme!

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

That was the whole point of selling the Medium to you in the first place!

[maraich]

Sure! I can get waters!

[needsmapquest.livejournal.com]

Consider me there!!

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

Great. So, how much you plannin' on bringing, anyway? And you got a world-hop, or do I need to get us one of those?

[needsmapquest.livejournal.com]

However much I can stuff in the cockpit. I've got a world-hop. I think. I better ask first.

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Also, Maraich wants in on our deal, so we'll be splitting the profits three ways. She's bringing some water, as well. We'll work out all the details once you get here.

If you can't find a world-hopper, I'll find one for you both.

Hey, you're bringing the Cybuster with you? I ... dunno if that's gonna be such a good idea.

[needsmapquest.livejournal.com]

Really? I guess I can make it without it.

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, I'd like to see your Cybuster someday. It's just that, well, you remember how I thought it was a demon from the way you described it? Imagine the reactions of everyone else if they saw something like that in the middle of a crowded city.

[needsmapquest.livejournal.com]

Good point...

[purrifying-wind.livejournal.com]

Are you in need of purified water?

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

I don't need it myself. What I really need is some quick cash, and the best way to do that is to sell purified bottled water.

... say, you look kinda like a Guardian. What are you, anyway?

[purrifying-wind.livejournal.com]

Ah. Is water so rare in your realm?

A Guardian? I suppose, although I may not be thinking of the same term you may be. I am Suicune, a Pokemon capable of purifying the waters of the world, and constantly traveling to do just that.

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Filgaia is mostly covered by deserts. There's hardly any water on the surface of the planet, so it has to all be drawn up from wells and aquifers.

A Guardian is a kind of deity in my world. They embody various forces of nature. A Pokemon? So you're one of those creatures from Ash Ketchum's world?

[glowy-brows.livejournal.com]

You're ... selling water for cash? That doesn't sound like a great business plan to me. Hell, people can just go to any old tap and drink as much as they want.

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

Not around here. Filgaia is a desert world. Pure, fresh water is about as rare as gold.

[glowy-brows.livejournal.com]

That's terrible. I can't imagine what that's like.

So, you're trying to bring fresh water to share with everyone? That's really nice of you!

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

Hell no! I'm going to make tons of cash and finally retire!

[glowy-brows.livejournal.com]

You ... you're exploiting people just so you can make money? That's horrible!

[drifterforhire.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't judge me! You don't know my situation or anything, so just butt out.

[glowy-brows.livejournal.com]

Don't you even feel the least bit guilty about taking advantage of people like that?
