While you wouldn't mind having more hands at work, the price doesn't work for you. Still, you got an order, and you're determined to start with it anyhow! Grabbing two plates, you affix them to each other, something which is somehow a built-in function, and you make a clamshell shape, ready to accept anything within as a sandwich. You reckon this'll be a good way to finish off the dish, but for now you get started on pan-frying some odd-looking fish and getting some help along the process.

Stax suddenly hops to work, and you're astounded by how... happy he looks, right now. His gleaming self is gleaming even brighter than normal, and the slightly cautious but overall eager demeanor is... well, it's encouraging. You just hope it's all the way sincere, or at least a nice balance between sincere and Stax.

With things started, though, you figure you can tell Mordicae you're unfortunately not interested in hiring.

Mordicae huffs out sharply with disappointment, and gives the ground a mean look.

It sounds like Mordicae could produce new ingredients with her CES production system, and she'd also want to verbally critique every meal you make.

You think Depricae could wash dishes, or otherwise keep things clear, but it definitely doesn't want to get too close to the meal-making process or aromas.

Well, that's a rather different offer. 50 coins for either hiree might fit more easily into your budget. You ponder it a moment as you flip the kilgorian trout and begin very slowly drizzling the contents of a Rain of Memoria bottle, which was an exceptionally interesting-looking condiment in your bar.

Stax suddenly leans over, beaming, and retrieving a scrap of paper from the ether with a soft, sparkly 'swoosh'.

You take a brief look, leafy brow furrowing.

...wow. You're not sure how to properly respond to some of these things. Why would you want an electric whak that hurts you if you blow your head off? When would that circumstance come up?

He says 'plate' just as you start to plate everything, including his many assorted contributions. You're a bit proud of the starman! The Hollandaise even looks like real food.

Mordicae groans a bit.

Well, that is another option. Hiring Laren might be a decent, if temporary, way to assuage some of her problems, but you're really not sure how sustainable that is, especially with Stax around. You recall a couple doctors thus far, as well-- O'Hare, who seemed good at helping organic beings, but seems to have little disregard for bedside manner, and Sublimate, who seemed good at helping mechanical beings, but also tended to want to diagnose people's personal problems alongside.

You'd have to meet with them somehow first, and each might want some coinage to pay for their work, and the General Store might have desired items.

There's also a question of how you should finish off this meal and drink! The food is starting to be plated, but any finishing touches (including any creative use of the plate clamshell) is up in the air, and the drink right now is only a juiced lemon-vodka mix with a screwdriver.

Finally, there's Clippy Butagun, who is still just sitting completely frozen in a barely-lucid catatonia.
