Twenty-seventh flight

So, just outta curiosity, how hard is it to start a new business here?

OK, it ain't just curiosity, I been thinking since I been here a year, I might as well settle down and make a go at having my own mechanic shop. I get enough requests just being self-employed that I think I could make a whole business out of it, and it'd make my job a whole lot easier having lots of parts and a space to work in and all.

I didn't find it that difficult, but Remus did a lot of the paperwork and what not. But I'm sure you'd make it work! I'd drop by, love, y'know that.

I still want your help with my bike, speaking of, however much I'd owe you.

I'm sure we can agree on something, turns out magic pays well when not everyone can do it.

Any plans for your shop already?

I'd ask that Onceler bloke, he seems to be good with that sort of thing.

Just let me know if I can pull any strings or front any cash for you.

Maybe we can rope Sheska in to help with that.

If not, I can probably survive it. Paperwork's all that kept me sane this weekend.

Speaking of mechanical work, how's the car doing?

It's not hard at all if you have a good idea to work with.

You do! All you need to do is take that idea and sell it. What kind of mechanic are you?

Oh you definitely got a good business then! You just need to get going! Do you have someone to help with all the set up? Do need help marketing? What are you going to call the shop? People need to know you're pretty much the master of machinery here so they come directly to you instead of any other hack with a wrench saying he can fix your breaks for a horribly unfair price.

Don't worry about snappy. You're good with that! Using your actual name is usually really easy to remember. Some say it adds credibility to the business, you know. And you got 'Mechanics' in there so it makes it easy for the potential customers to know what you're offering.

It can't hurt. You want word of mouth and a liiitttle advertising nudge in there.

There was a lawyer here to help me with the paperwork when I took over The Phony, but I think it was so difficult because I was trying to take ownership from someone who got "released".

What I mean to say is, good luck. It's nice having some kind of purpose here.

No clue!

[And nobody was shocked that Kenzi didn't know the first thing about doing anything legal around New Moore. She was definitely getting ahead on illegal activities but if it involved effort, which paperwork invariably did, then Kenzi was always gonna be out of the loop.]

But you should totally do it. Then I can come visit you at work and play with your tools!
