GET ACQUAINTED
Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Carl. I'm the new manager of the apartment building.

"SPECIAL OFFER"
I gave you the best imported canned food there is. You need to find a seller and bring me an envelope full of money!
The scheme is simple.
I have a deal.
Times are hard. Everyone is doing their best.
I have canned fish.
You know everyone around here. Find me a buyer, and I'll pay you generously.

AGREE
Deal. I'll try to sell your canned food.
Wonderful!
Here's a crate with 50 cans. The wholesale price is $50 per can. You can sell them for $100 apiece at the market. So the crate costs $3,000.
You give me 3,000 and then sell it all. Whatever you make above three grand is yours to keep.
Did you note my generosity?

ASK ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD
What kind of canned food is it? Good, or the usual muck?
It's the best quality! It's imported from abroad! It'll sell like hotcakes. But it's not safe for me to go to the market. I want to sell them quietly, without drawing attention to myself.
I found the canned food in the hold. Nobody used them.
Rule one on the barge: if it's not nailed down, it doesn't belong to anyone. So I took as many as I could carry.

TURN DOWN THE DEAL
TALK ABOUT THE CANNED FOOD
Bring me money, and then we'll talk.
ASK ABOUT THE TRIP ABROAD
You're leaving our house soon? Do I have that right?
Yes, we're about to leave. The barge is ready. We're waiting for the Outside Affairs Committee to instruct the crew.
Where are you heading?
Through the bay to the south and then toward the Neol Sea.
Have you been to Shere?
No. This city?
This is the largest trade port city. It's had free governance for the last decade.
We'll stay in the port for a week to unload coal and take walks. Let's see then.

TALK ABOUT HOW TO HELP Schimmer
Jones, can you take Schimmers with you on your rounds?
Why would I do that? Unless you did something for me...
TALK ABOUT HOW TO HELP Schimmer
Jones, can you take Schimmers with you on your rounds?
Help me sell the canned goods. Then we'll talk.
TALK ABOUT HOW TO HELP Schimmer
Jones, can you take Schimmers with you on your rounds?
You refused to help me, then I won't help you either.
