WCDT Strips 3386 - 3390 (2nd - 6th January 2017)

<< < (4/33) > >>

Case:
This article puts the fee on a 5 by 5 feet storage unit at 40-50$, and the one on a 10 by 15 feet unit at $75-$140.

(It also states that the median US household has ... 232 m^2 ...   :-o)

Questions:
* Why are we so sure Faye has no assets? She could be a beneficiary in her parents testament - I think I recall them owning a house?
* Do(n't) US houses usually have a basement/attic? I rent a 35 m^2 flat for 335€ and get 3-5 m^2 storage space in the basement as part of the deal. It's rather common over here.

oeoek:
I notice some personal development; so far, Faye has been coasting, now she seems to have a goal... What I mean is before, she worked at CoD, did some art, and had no idea where she wanted to go (she did know what she NOT wanted, but no idea what she actually wanted to do or be). Fired, Robofights came along, she liked what she did there, but again, it was pretty much going with the flow. As far as I remember, this is the first time she wants to set up something.

As for the loan, she is not looking to rent the whole skate-park, she mentioned a storage space to set up a recharge station for AI's in need. A shelter for stray AI's? Sounds like step one of a robo-repair shop to me...

Let me put it this way; in RL I know some people who work at or run shelters for homeless people, and somehow I notice some resemblance between them and Faye. Here in the Netherlands, quite a few of those places are not run by religious or wealthy charities, but by people who had a close shave with problems themselves. They found a way out, and try to help others do the same.

What if Faye tries offering Dora an investment opportunity?  Dora's shown a little regret over her handling of Faye, so she might consider it.

Dora may own a fairly successful small business, but she's not super rich. I distinctly remember that she's stressed about money in at least a few pages.

She'll want to help, but I don't think she'll be able to.

BenRG:
Faye needs to find a sugar daddy, there's no doubt about that. However, I don't think that her or she would come from the core cast. I don't think it's going to be a new character as that would be implausible. I'm thinking though that it would be someone unexpected, possibly from the 'more money than sense' category like Jimbo (a successful romance author) or Sven (a successful composer and performer).

Why them? Someone like Beatrice would see that Faye's 'business plan' is full of holes and has almost no ROI potential that she can see. Jimbo or Sven would be more likely to offer cash on the grounds that Faye is the one who is asking and only ask later if they are getting anything out of it other than Faye paying attention to them for one evening (they think it is a date; Faye calls it an "investors' conference").
