Who: Judas and you!
Where: Cancer district
When: May 29th
Summary: Judas is out of the hospital, has found work as a salesperson in a computer store, and is celebrating his newfound employment like most other people: by looking to buy stuff.
Warnings: None so far, will edit if any serious topics come up in conversation.

[Judas is self-effacing and very good with technology; this makes him a wonderful fit for the service part of the Cancer district. If you're looking to buy something electronic, and relatively mundane (phones and computers, not weird gizmos) you might find that Judas is the guy in the uniform asking if he can help you.

Or you might find him in any other store examining all those weird gizmos. It's not as if there wasn't weird technological stuff in Judas's world, it's just that there wasn't so much of it all in one city, as far as he knew. Some of the stranger contraptions throw him off a bit... But he eventually nods and writes down on a pad of paper details about everything that catches his eye: price, pros, cons. Then he'll leave without buying anything just yet.

He's windowshopping today. If he'd been a careless spender there's no way he would have been trusted with the disciples' money.]

That is true. [She looks at the lamp again, before going to wave over a store assistant to buy it.] And I'm pretty sure I've got some space on top of my drawers for this too.

[silvercoins]

What are you doing? [Suddenly alarmed.] You can't just buy things like that!

[papillonmagique]

Why not? I have money and the lamp looks nice. And it's not as if I'm asking you to buy it.

[silvercoins]

What if they have the same lamp in another store more cheaply?

[papillonmagique]

But what if it's only sold here?

[silvercoins]

It'll still be here when you come back.

[papillonmagique]

[Pause, then sigh as she waves the shop assistant away again.] Very well, I shall defer to you on this matter.

[silvercoins]

Thank you... I apologize, but I can't allow you to waste money.

[papillonmagique]

I shall probably heed your advice about money in the future, then. I'll admit that I come from a... well, spoiled upbringing, so money was never an issue for me before.

[silvercoins]

We were not very well off in Judea.

[papillonmagique]

And so you couldn't afford to waste money.

Well, in that case, I will heed you advice about what I should do.

[silvercoins]

Thank you, Zoe. I know, it may not seem important.

[papillonmagique]

But money is important! And I'll need to be pulled of my habit of freely spending now that I have left home.

So, is the idea to look around and try to find the best deal on something you want?

[silvercoins]

Exactly. There is no reason to spend extra money on the same product.

[papillonmagique]

Right... Hmm, I'll have to careful when I go clothes shopping, then.

[silvercoins]

I-I couldn't help you with that one.

[papillonmagique]

Oh, don't worry. I'll make sure to apply the advice you give me here to other things.

[silvercoins]

Thank you.

[For not bringing him clothes shopping.]

[papillonmagique]

[You do not want to go clothes shopping with Zoe, she is one of those people who takes hours.]

You're welcome. Now then, what were you thinking of buying?

[silvercoins]

Have you tried any of the virtual reality games in the arcade?

[papillonmagique]

... Virtual reality games? [Aka no.]

[silvercoins]

They're fun- if you have some spare time and any interest, you might try one.

[papillonmagique]

I think I might, they certainly sound interesting. And my job isn't too consuming, so I have some spare time.

[silvercoins]

We'll be a financially secure household yet.

[papillonmagique]

Right! Hmm... And while clothes shopping is out of the question, would you assist me with food shopping?
