[It's the local blue woman once again on your network making a post.]

So let's say you're trying something new, and I mean super new. You've never done anything like it before...

[A beat.]

And I don't mean a sex thing! [JUST TO CUT THAT OFF AT THE PASS.] Like a legit way to make money, a work thing. Would you just keep going at it on your own or ask for help?

[This is her way of asking for help without asking, ha ha ha.]

that depends on my knowledge of capitalism
what do you have in mind

[riptidequeen]

I'm thinking of something with meep morps... Or art as you'd call it.

[teaserving]

are you thinking of taking commissions or trying to sell art to art collectors

[riptidequeen]

[A pause then...]

I didn't really think of that, actually.

[teaserving]

well with commissions you're not gonna have much freedom to do what you want
so i think it might be good to make an art gallery and look into presenting/selling them

[better_goodbyes]

It depends on how it was going really. If things seemed to be going pretty good, then keep at it and you'll improve with time. But if you're having trouble, or need help, then there's nothing wrong with asking for help.

Basically, since it's something new, just watching a few others might be all you need, or a few pointers could be just the thing to get a better grip on what you're doing.

[riptidequeen]

Yeah, I think the second thing would be best. I was also thinking of maybe having a space for people to do art themselves?

[riptidequeen]

So far it's not going at all. [She laughs a bit awkwardly.] I'm still working out the whole idea?

[better_goodbyes]

Doing a little research ahead of time isn't bad. It can help you decide whether it's right for you before you dedicate much time to it.

Some jobs just aren't right for everyone. Though it does make now the perfect time to ask questions about it.

[riptidequeen]

Well it has to do with art, which I do for fun and such.

[So part of it is something she already knows what to do!]

It's the technicalities I'm having trouble with.

[better_goodbyes]

I see. Well, I'm afraid I can't help much with that. I was a professor, but it was for combat, not art. It sounds like a pretty nice job to get into though, especially if you have fun doing it. That always makes the work a lot easier.

[riptidequeen]

Yup, and it beats what I was made for. Or at least it's less destructive.

[better_goodbyes]

Less destruction is always a good thing to see. It's one of the things I've enjoyed about this place. [Even if his welcome had been rather hectic and destructive.]

[riptidequeen]

Yeah, this place has it's... Troubles, but it's much less hetic then home.

[And then, because this is a new person...]

I'm Lapis Lazuli, by the way.

It's kinda bad that that's what we assume is what people mean, right?

I say go with what makes you comfortable. I opened a coffee and curry shop, but I have experience working with someone who ran one before.

[Hello again, Lapis.

For neighbors they really do seem to talk over the network a lot.]

There's nothing wrong with asking for help.

[riptidequeen]

Yeeeah it kind of is. But best to clear it up to avoid any mix-up.

I have the base idea, which is something I'm okay with. It's the extra bits I'm having issues with.

[riptidequeen]

[Anti-social people socializing via the least in-person way!]

Oh, I know. Thing is I don't know what I need help with just yet.

[polypeptide]

Depends. Are they helping you get one in the first place, or helping you learn how to do one you have?

[riptidequeen]

Neither? It's a part of the whole deal that I have little to no experience with.

[polypeptide]

[ A frustrated sound, as he tries to figure out a situation that isn't that hard to figure out. ]

Hold on, I'm not really getting it.

[ Nothing new there on his end. ]

You don't have a job yet, right?

[riptidequeen]

[She thought she was pretty clear here! Guess not.]

I don't have a job, yes. I'm working on an idea to get me one though?

[baitless]

There is no shame in asking for help if you need it. I do not mind listening to any ideas you might have and giving you guidance on how feasible they may be.

[polypeptide]

[ He's just not the quickest on the uptake, but even he can get this much. ]

With that kind of situation isn't it easiest to just walk into a place and ask if they're hiring?

[riptidequeen]

[Hey it's the fellow from the tinder thing. She gives her device a little wave before she answers.]

I have the basic idea fleshed out, of doing an art thing. Like a gallery but also maybe a place where others could pay a little bit of chroma to use a space to do their own artwork?
