I-028-Lia: Spanial, Common Room (Hyperspace to Roseman)

Common Room

Lia can approach Prri in the Common Room.  Lia can tell he looks sleepy and seems set to follow Oliver out the door when she intercepts him.

  

Lia’s Schedule

Getting organised for Captree

Accommodations

I’m sure Raina is happy to accommodate her – at minimum Lia knows that Raina has a penthouse apartment in Cap Isle, a mansion in Greater Archipelago and an ocean-going yacht.  For one or two Cycles, Raina had mostly cleared her calendar, but yes, even then Raina had moments where she had to deal with other things and Lia had some alone time.

 

Possessions 

There’s plenty to respond to in this post and it’ll take me a little time to compile the list, so I’ll do that next time, if that’s OK?

 

Raina’s Perfume

I wonder if she added some of that mineral she bought on Zarg’s World?

   

Skyscape and commission pieces

So, for Raina, someone in her organisation, or someone else?  We didn’t do it in play so it’s backstory and so mostly up to you, and it could indeed be incredibly overdue.  She was on Argyropoulos where Karmen picked her up so it could be for someone there.  

How much effort is she going to put into the commission piece?  So far she’s spent over 12 Shifts (about 100 hours – converting to contemporary measurement for ease of comparison) on it since start of play – possibly extra time prior.  How does Lia value her time as a jeweller?  For comparison, a rate of ʄ200 to ʄ400 per Shift is probably typical for a jeweller of her skill level, so she should charge at least ʄ2,500 for the piece, unless it’s a ‘labour of love’.  She may, of course, be able to inflate her profit margins using her persuasive assets.  

Noting that we’re working backwards here, normally the client would negotiate a price and Lia would work with that in mind, but because of how the item appeared in play we’re reverse-engineering the price from the effort.

   

Dop Stuck

And how would she like to fit the gem faceting time into her schedule?

    “Hi. Are you okay after Mundo Zargo? What happened?”

    So regarding Raina’s contract, she requests Lia’s presence for the full cycle (24 hours our time) for each of her engagements. Since Lia has missed so many, she is several (months) in the hole in terms of time ‘owed’. This does not allow for time off or away from her required engagement, so she is expecting to be on site with Raina for the entire time she’s there. That may not happen once she actually turns up but it’s what she anticipates.

    That’s fine about the possessions but she will definitely take some with her just in case she gets some time alone.

    She has already added that sea mineral thing 😉

    Let’s say the piece is finished (I hadn’t really factored the hours spent into it). Would one of Raina’s lieutenants have ordered something from her or would that be overstepping the line?

    Can we swap the time she would have spent on the commission piece to working on the gem?
