QUESTION:

When considering patronising a shop, do you prefer when it has a name that makes it easy to understand exactly what is offered there, or one that is "creative"?

Thanks in advance.

That depends on your skills.

Right now, we largely just need some help setting up. Literal setting up, as in setting up and organising the shop itself in the physical locale, as well as setting up book-keeping and logistics.

I'm afraid we don't have the money to pay any actual employees, though. Not with any regularity.

I'm sure that many of my skills as staff officer of a mercenary company could transfer over well to the smooth and efficient operation of a business. I've been in charge of managing its resources, securing useful information that endows effective decision-making, writing and analyzing reports... I have a few years of experience performing those duties. I have a knack for researching and was once talented in the magical arts of my world.

[What is this, a resume?]

I understand that you don't yet have the means to compensate work. However, should you choose to enlist my support, I might be satisfied with services in exchange. My support is not a mere act of charity.

That does sound like a useful skill set when it comes to the management of a magical business.

What was your speciality when you were a mage?

[ And his as-yet unspoken condolences on losing those abilities. It's a huge bummer, tbh. ]

There shouldn't be any problem exchanging services for your help. I'll talk to Caster and let you know what we might need assistance on.

Wind magic primarily, among other offensive elemental spells. Here in Talam, my strengths would be classified under the school of evocation.

Thank you. Keep me updated if you find out.

[tryhard]

I will do so. Thank you.
