How To Get By In A Hostile World, Wednesday
Wonder upon wonders, Atton was here on time today, supporting ten days' worth of stubble and a black Jedi tunic. He'd told everyone to come to the Danger Shop - which was outfitted like a giant grocery store. Through the doors to his left was a kitchen.
He was sitting on the checkout counter. Of course he was.
"On our second week, I already had some of you guys trying to deal with the five credits-- bucks situation," he said. "This week, you get ten. Congratulations. Except your next paycheck doesn't come in for another six days, and you do need to eat. So." He spread his arms. "Go shopping! Then go next door and figure out how to use your ten dollars worth of shopping to cook something edible that leaves enough leftovers to help you survive for another day. Maybe two. Have fun."
That might've been the driest 'have fun' ever uttered between these walls.
