Dream, Dream Common room, Meals on Wheels?

Swindle: *sitting on a couch, going over some of the days paperwork*

Oppy: Hey, Swindle! I have a great idea for a new way to sell fastfuel to bots!

Swindle: Another one? *chuckles* What is it?

Oppy: Two tubs of warm broth type stuff. One could be savory oil, and one sweet. And skewers of different flavoured gummi things warming in the oil. People could pay a set fee, and then eat all the skewers they wanted, and drink a little of the oil. I saw something like it in a video about Asian street food.

Swindle: All they can eat? Hmmm...well, we don't have any eating venues quite like that, do we? Wouldn't hurt to give it a try, we do have the capitol for such a venture.

Oppy: **nod nod** And the gummi and oil are cheap but filling, so we probably wouldn't be making a loss even if the price was low. Maybe poorer sectors?

Swindle: *grins* That sounds like a good idea. The more people we can reach, the better.

Oppy: Yeah! And we can add a little more healthy minerals if we need to, too. Depending on the sector and the needs of the populace.

Swindle: Absolutely! *he then thinks about it* We should hire locally if we can as well.

Oppy: Yes. And with oil and gummi, we won't have to just hire bots, if none of the local ones want the job. *grin* It'll be like an ice cream stand, only better. *pause* I wonder if we could rig it up on some kind of bicycle, like those ice cream stands I've seen...

Swindle: *Frowns slightly at that, considering what he's seen as ice cream bikes is...on the small side* Well, I'm not sure about that, Op, that kinda seems too smal....*pauses, as he'd started scanning the multinet*...wait, something like this?

*Swindle sends Oppy the page ( https://paulandernst.com/configurator/ ) he finds...*

Oppy: Yes! Only without the counter over the bike part. Just a couple of tanks for the oil, and a place to store new gummy skewers and the delicious foam cups to hold the oil.

Swindle: Skewers should be edible as well...*though he's got a slight frown again as he brings up a holoscreen* ...we have a foam that won't melt from hot oil? Unless we use a minor wish on them, for... safety concerns.

I was kind of suspecting she might have taught HIM. *checks his pockets and pulls out his datapad, then sits on the end of the couch nearest Swindle's chair. Wince and laugh guiltily as happy game sounds happen when he turns the datapad on*

Spazz made it. *looks at the screen of the pad and gives his kitty a treat for greeting him, then exits the game and pokes at the drawing program* I've played through it fifteen times, and I still can't stop.

gbSwindle: Bargain.

**laughs** It's an adventure RPG. But the kitty cuddles people and rolls around and things like that, instead of the usual character skills for games like this. At the end of the game she's all grown up, and goes home and has kittens. Then you pick a kitten, and start over stronger. And hmmmm. Twenty foot? That seems to be the range most one size fits all bot furniture aims at in a lot of realities that don't use transforming adaptive furniture.

*furtively buys a copy of the game for his dad, his expression showing nothing of his actions* Alright, so...

Cloe: **arms around gbSwindle as she teleports to the playpen in the corner. Swindle, you've been left with only a soft ragSeekerbunny for company**
