COMMERCE

COMMERCE { Mercantile/Business }


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.
Dead Flowers on the Doorstep: A vendor selling bouquets during the Festival of Growth has set up outside your residence or preferred place of patronage. It's smelled lovely up until all of the flowers from the gardens shrivel and die. Now you've got a cart of dead flowers you have to pass by, and the sickly scent seems to linger well after they're removed.

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
Free Earplugs: A few pharmacies are handing out free earplugs to anyone who passes by, to help protect people from the droning noise. They barely take the edge off, but it's something.

RANK 4
Lucky Breaks: All your math this month must be wrong. You're coming in over budget! For whatever reason, little discounts keep slipping in your favor. Argue with a shopkeeper or keep your little bit of luck to yourself; you never know when you might need it later.

RANK 5
Get the Knots Out: The mass headaches don't have an obvious cure, but since they're causing even more muscle tension perhaps a massage would help? You receive vouchers for 5 deeply discounted massages to work out knots that may have formed and ease discomfort as much as possible.
