[ TASK ] As one of our clever ponies at the tech Stable, your job is to fix customer's technology and troubleshoot it while making as much money as possible, making sure to fit and maintain our monitoring implants and software in the process.
[ MECHANICS ] Roll 1d6 twice, each roll is half the day. - The hardware you are brought is a complete mess, it's screen is cracked in a way you can't replace, it simply won't boot correctly or it has been in some sort of terrible sticky accident. All you can do is commemorate its memory and send the customer over to your colleague on the shop floor, losing your commission in the process. - The fix is easy, the customer isn't very tech savvy and had simply tripped a background setting without meaning to, you can fix it in five minutes but those five minutes cost them dearly. - Somehow this customer has managed to break the monitoring process on their device, taking them off of the collective data grid, this has in essence bricked their tech, they bring it to you, you easily reinstall the spyware and they are on their way. - Some piece of hardware needs replaced, it is easily done but you tell them it will take 24 hours and charge them incredible prices for the part they need. - The customer wants nothing more than to talk to you about the store, the products, the CEO and everything else and none of your social hints to go away seem to work on them, delaying you in your work for half the morning - The hardware is outdated but somehow you get it running again, Tyr stops by and offers the customer a discount on an upgrade to a more modern product which they take and end up spending a great deal more than they meant to that day on in-store financing.
[ UPON COMPLETION ] +1 Raffle Ticket (you can only claim a MAX of 3 per player this way!) +5 Currency +1 Arcana Bonus gaia_crown+1 RARE UNIQUE CLOTHING PIECE RELATED TO THIS JOB (LINK COMPLETED THREAD HERE)

Merope was successful at socializing the media, so he figured he was ready for the next big step: tech support.
He was really happy with the Pale Horse headphone he wore around his neck, and couldn't help but to bounce on his feet as he waited for the day to start. "This is going to be great!" He announced to Darkjay, "We're going to answer questions and deal with people and earn more money for these things! I think I'm going to keep this set, I mean I did kind of rent these out to show them off to people to get them to buy, but I reeeeally kind of want a set of my own. Is there anything at Pale Horse you're after?"
Darkjay was saved from further babble as a consumer swarmed Merope, peppering him with questions. Soon the Conquest horseman realized the tables were turned, and he found himself helpless beneath the overenthusiasm of the human in front of him.

Oh god why was he stuck with this excitable conquest kid who wouldn't shut up. Darkjay had half a mind to tell him to do so but in hindsight it was better then the older snooty conquest guys. At least he wasn't a arrogant piece of s**t.
"Yeah. Uhuh. Sure. Great" He answered Merope without listening to what he was saying. He'd tuned out ages ago. "Nice. Have fun with that. Cool." Was what he replied to the question about clothing. He was just after FEAR and didn't care about silly human clothing.
The kid was dragged off to help some human babbling on about their computer or whatever tech, and he had a moments reprieve. Until he was approached by a human himself who kept going on about their computer not working, running through what they did, blah blah blah.
He did the same thing he did with Merope. Not listen and just reply with 'Yeah, huh, sure, great". He Took one look at the giant mass of metal (apparently it was called a tower, and he could see the cable thing wasn't even plugged in properly) and said he'd have it fixed by tomorrow. and quote some outrageous number in hoped the guy wouldn't bother and just go away.

"You know, you're the first War clansmen who hasn't offered to shoot me on sight yet!" Merope informed Darkjay in too bright of a manner. "Usually I try talking to you guys and before I know it I'm on the other end of a pointy knife. Or arrow. It's usually the arrows, since some of you guys like using me for targetting practice. I mean, I can't really blame you guys since I'm using you at the same time for dodging practice but --"
Merope cut himself off as another customer came up. "Oooh! A Pale Horse hPad version 3.14!" Merope gushed over the device as he set about repairing it, blissfully leaving Darkjay alone as he yammed on to the customer instead.

For once Darkjay actually listened to him. "Huh? Oh, cool." Perhaps he should use him for target practice too. He hadn't used a bow and arrow set in ages. He preferred up close and personal, plus he sucked at using them anyway.
Then he was answering him again while another human came to him with a tiny computer thing and said it wasn't working. Oh right it was those laptops, didn't their computers used to take up a hole room or something?
Again he waved the guy off with a large bill and a 24 hour time frame. He figured the guy hadn't bothered to charge the stupid device. Even he knew they needed power to work. Stupid humans.

"Aaand we're done!" Merope announced at the end of their very long shift, during which he made sure to talk at Darkjay. He wasn't sure why the War horseman was so grumpy. Maybe he should have brought him a cup of coffee. Merope discovered human coffee earlier that morning and he was on his sixteenth cup already!
He bounced alongside Darkjay. "So now we're done! What are you going to go do? War-stuff? What sort of War stuff? Me I need to go hit the books because I'm kind of behind on my studies but I'm wide awake and ready to tackle those stupid books! I'm going to hit them so hard their words'll remain imprinted on my brain!"

By the time their shift was done Darkjay was tired, fed up and about to throw Merope out a window. How did he have so much energy left, he spent all his dealing with humans who would. not. shut. up. Neither would he. God's he was surrounded by constant chattering he was gonna lose it.
"...." He walked slowly, not having the energy to answer all his dumb questions. He did answer one though, with a slow turn of his head and a twitching eyelid.
"...I'm going to disembowel some hunters and string their innards up like Christmas lights. And anyone else who gets in my way."

The small, lizard-like part of Merope's brain that represented his instincts kicked in. The Conquest horseman made 100% sure he wasn't in Darkjay's way and stood off to one side. And back.
He was super sure that he was out of his way.
"Okay!" He said. "Okay. Well then. You go on and do that and make sure that you cut snowflake patterns out of their skins and coats too, yeah? Can't have Christmasland without some sort of Joy arts and crafts ahaha...ha...ha..."
He trailed off. Then he used both his fingers to point towards a door. "IIIIII'm going to go off over here, have fun with that! Bye!"
Merope made very, very sure not to slam the door to the janitor's closet too loudly behind him before he barricaded himself inside it, putting as much plywood between him and the grumpy War as he could.

Finally, the conquest had opted to leave him alone, having got the message loud and clear. It was hilarious to watch Merope hightail it out of there and into a...janitors closest, and by the sounds of it was trying to barricade himself in there, but Darkjay didn't care. He chuckled to himself as he walked off, ready to make good on his words and leave Merope to do...whatever it was he was doing.
