Tsukino Faolan, Attorney-At-Law (Art Source) For all that Grand Cross is a powder keg just waiting to blow, it's a pretty nice place to live if you've got hustle and don't mind eating instant ramen and aren't particularly claustrophobic. Luckily, Tsukino is just the sort to thrive in the hustle and bustle. For certain definitions of thrive. It'd really help if her YourTube channel finally cracked the algorithm and started driving more business to Faolan Legal. Or got her more than a pity subscription to her Hi-Fives from her folks. It's sweet, and great for buying exactly one tall drip coffee per month, but it's not exactly a tool for financial independence. Still, there's a certain fulfillment to an actual legal practice of her own that never could be matched with a cushy Cartel gig. Even if that Omnidyne recruiter did promise the latest model as a signing bonus... but no! She resisted. Barely. Besides, her trusty Fenrir is too good of a companion to give up, even if it needs a particular series of raps to the engine block to fire up in the morning, and the HUD swaps to Touhou sometimes when she's driving. She's... she's gotten pretty good at multitasking on the longer trips cross-station. It's fine, it's great, she loves that drat thing. Though the Fenrir Mk.X has an integrated smart-companion AI that's supposed to be great company and laugh at all your jokes... Anyways, things are great. Even the things that aren't. Especially the things that aren't! There's nothing to do but keep on grinding, keep on hustling, and if she needs to spot Granny Su another month's rent (or five, now), that's just how things go. It's Space Town, right? When you're here, you're family. Specifically, the kind of family that your other family members keep asking for a little scratch. Or legal advice, which you have to keep coaching in very careful terms of how you're not giving them actual legal advice since they're not paying you, so there's no attorney-client relationship, and... Well, it's a living. quote:Name: Tsukino Faolan code:

I'll tap Granny Su as my contact. She organizes the Saturday flea market and, while it never seems to make any money, you can find some great old world memorabilia if that's your jam. Tsukino mostly picks up rare Touhou doujins and the like. Granny Su is cantankerous, liable to guilt you for slights both real and imagined, and chronically unable to make rent. Needless to say, she's been in Space Town since it was nothing more than a tent and some exposed girders (she will tell this story at length, given the slightest provocation) and nobody can really imagine the place without her. Tsukino probably knows Rowan and Blake, also as business owners slash people on the hustle, and may or may not have provided some legal consultation to Condor. She's a hopeless Vtuber mark and thus probably subs to Irma's channel... and probably did a case study in law school about the Sunset Overdreck fiasco. Speaking of law school, Tsukino fielded a handful of offers from Cartel corporations right after graduation. None of them felt like the right fit, which led her to opening her own practice. The Omnidyne offer was easily the most tempting, since it played directly on her interests, but Tetsuo put out a very competitive offer as well. Her parents were... confused, to say the least, though they're mostly baffled and vaguely supportive in that out-of-touch well-off parents way. The vibe is very much that they're waiting for this phase Tsukino is going through to work itself out, at which point it's time for a cushy corporate gig and a smattering of grandchildren. They are likely to be waiting for a very, very long time. Faolan Legal itself mostly gets by on small consultations. She does a lot of legal paperwork for people in the community, but we're talking a bunch of small one-off gigs that are billing an hour or two here and there. It'd be enough to be comfortable if she was a little bit better at saying no when people hustle her for a little financial help, but she isn't. It pays rent, and Touhou doujins, and some Vtuber subs, and some red superchats here and there and... well, okay, maybe it's just that she's kind of bad with money in general.

If Irma makes her a mod in chat: yes, yes forever she's a big enough simp.

3 is probably best for showcasing the system, I think.
