RANK 1 • Health & Safety: The nearby restaurant you were going to visit is having a spot of trouble proving that the selys in the kitchen wasn't a routine violation and no, the inspectors really did just pick the wrong time. You have nothing to do with this and could probably get out free, but if you step in to vouch and/or take the blame on yourself, you might be thanked. Or cursed. Hard to tell, really. • NO TIPS: Did you forget to tip? Maybe you did, maybe you didn't, but a whole lot of waitstaff seem to be awfully grumpy with you. Did you cross an arcane etiquette boundary? Surely not with so many at once, right?
RANK 2 • Free Prunes!: Congratulations, you've won! What did you win? A month-long supply of that thing you literally never use! Too bad, if you aren't seen making use of it you're going to insult more than a few people. Gooooood luck! • Community Chest: Especially if you live outside the Dreaming Bridge, isn't it your privilege to contribute monetarily to the betterment of your neighborhood? Don't you want to buy overpriced cookies to support good paving practices? Don't be silly, of course you do, if you don't want dirty looks for a solid month.
RANK 3 • I'll Pay You Back!: Someone you know in a friendly way, but perhaps not a long-term friend, is trying to get a business off the ground, and wants your help financing it. They'll pay you back double, they promise! It's something of a significant amount of money, though. And you may see double or even triple the amount of returns next month or the month after, if their business takes off; or you may never see that money again.
RANK 4 • Missed Decimal Point: Something you were expecting to be decently expensive turns out not to be. The person taking your money explains, a little sheepishly, that there had been an error in their pricing, now corrected, and it's really only this much more reasonable amount. Have a nice day!
RANK 5 • Something From Home: Sometimes, the things from Dreamfolks' worlds are snatched up and hoarded or sold for exorbitant prices. Not today. This little thing you recognize, as soon as you make the appropriate noises, is simply handed to you with the fond wish that you remember your home well, and perhaps come back and tell them stories about it...?
