RANK 1 • The Dreaming Ate My Paycheck: The Dreaming giveth, and the Dreaming taketh away, and lately it's been doing a lot of back and forth. A good chunk of change disappears from your pocket almost as soon as you drop it in there, not even giving a thief the time to have been responsible. In its place you pull out what appear to be dog biscuits.
RANK 2 • Price Droppings: A gyroshei left a parting gift in one of the open-air markets. This item you've been eyeing is now 75% off, but it's also splattered in white droppings. You're never going to see a deal like this again - is it worth having to clean off a substantial mess? You decide.
RANK 3 • Caffeine Boost: A sympathetic cafe owner notices that the unstable Dreaming has left you more tired than usual, and starts giving you free refills on all of your beverages in the hopes of perking you up a bit. Tea might not outmuscle the Dreaming, but it's a nice gesture. • Tall Man Fan: While most of the city is on edge from the shadowy happenings of late, a few enterprising individuals are trying to make the best of it. Some of those Tall Man plushies you're being offered are absurdly cutesy - which might be an attempt to cheer people up - but the effort falls a little flat. No one's bought anything. It'll cost you ten rhinn to get one, and if you do it'll brighten the merchant's day. Then you'll have to figure out what to do with a living abomination chibi.
RANK 4 • Low-Rent Luxury: While looking for a place to stay, you're offered reduced rent while you get settled into the city and can pay off what's due by helping the renter do maintenance or run errands if you don't have a job.
RANK 5 • Fantasy Costco: In an unfamiliar area of the city you stumble into a curio shop that specializes in the weird, the wonderful, and possibly even the magical. The fantastic assortment of oddities come in every shape, size, and color, and the interior of the shop sparkles in a way that belies the dingy exterior. The curiously ageless shopkeeper is willing to offer you a lot of rhinn for an item from your homeworld - or to trade it for one of the items on display that's arguably valued much more highly. Which will you choose?
