More than any tabloid can afford. I know what I'm worth.

[kobard]

Tabloids are small timers. Not worth the energy.

I'm talking private publications.

[lizardtits]

Hm... I'm still getting a grasp on the value of the currency here, but... 1,000 sol for a candid shot, 3,500 per hour for a photoshoot, 10k for anything risque.

But if it's for a good cause, I'd be open for negotiations.

[kobard]

Yes I think any cause involving your physique is a good one, but ahem, my mind immediately thinks to those end of year calendars. Are we not near the end of a year here in Concord?

[lizardtits]

...Are you suggesting we make a calendar? Seems like something we could get more than just me involved in.

[kobard]

Yes, yes. Attractive photos or art of all of the new starfallen, and with proceeds given to... someone or something deserving enough.

Perhaps Concord Astronomical Society for research into the land sundering, or Concord Crossing's housing being a little nicer?

Or back into our own collective pockets. Always an option. Just saying.

[lizardtits]

Ah, yes, that's a cause I can get behind. [Whether she means the Astronomical Society or their pockets remains to be seen] There are no shortage of candidates, either. If nothing else, it would help us get our names out there and get us onto our feet when it comes to building a relationship with the locals.

[even if that relationship is just "thirst trap"]
