School Assembly, Wednesday, September 15, 2020

[sith_happened]

The auditorium looked like a regular auditorium, the chairs were arranged in a normal way and Anakin was pretty sure that the chance of teddy bear maiming was extremely minimal this week! He climbed up onto the stage and strode to the rostrum. "Hello again, students, and welcome to our third week of extremely productive and life-enriching talks. This week's is brought to you by two of our esteemed business leaders from town--Beau Lionett & Yasha Nydoorin--and they are hear to discuss with you--"

He reached for the cue card the office had provided, "--Using Your Destructive Tendencies for Fun and Profit! Wait."

Too late, Anakin, here come the speakers now!

Wei Wuxian took notes. Now that he'd burned all bridges back home, he was planning to become a rogue cultivator, like his parents.

Wei Wuxian raised his hand. He wore long, black and red robes, and had a flute stuck in his belt. "How do you get paid for it?" He'd never had the chance to ask his parents how they financed their life. He'd just known they fought monsters. "If someone asks for help, you can't just demand for them to pay up front, can you?"

Beau scratched at her ear, vaguely distracted by her thoughts for a moment.

"I mean, we've done a couple of jobs where we got like half up front as kind of a cash advance for supplies and shit? Probably depends on who hired you, though. And what the job is, 'cause --" she rolled her eyes -- "I guess people don't want to pay up front when you might get killed on the job they hired you for."

Honestly.

"But that's ... okay, we've gotten paid to rescue people," she added. "Which is actually more satisfying than I thought it would be? Not sure what we'd do if we just straight up ran into people who needed help, though. It hasn't really come up, so we don't have like a group policy on that yet."

Except for that one time with Kiri, but that had been pretty much all Jester's doing.

Wei Wuxian nodded seriously. "Another question. How do you form a group? Did you study together in the same sect?"
