Marie-Ange,
As I understand, money is a thing that can one person can give another for certain services. I need your help with something that, unfortunately, doesn't involved maiming or killing. However it could very well get both of us killed. Interested?

I am unofficially retired from maiming or killing in exchange for money. How is this favour going to get me maimed and/or killed? Will my funeral be open casket or will it require cremation? Can I donate my body to science?

Date: 2018-02-01 09:54 pm (UTC)To put it lightly, I am bloody awful at birthday gifts. Bad enough that I have to start thinking two-three months in advance if anyone I care about happens to have a birthday coming up. Amanda is currently on that short list, and I was hoping I could get you to draw something for her. Well, draw something of her. Both, really. See, I have this fantastic image in my head of Amanda as a Hogwarts student. But I can't draw to save my life. So. Money for art? How much would you charge?
(Keeping in mind I'm not sure I have a real job and I have books to pay for every semester...)

Date: 2018-02-01 09:59 pm (UTC)This is a delightful way to die! My fee is noodles or other easily eaten food that does not require my fingers* from a place of my choosing during the final art session. Please expect an estimate of 400,000 doodles to choose from before a final decision on Hogwarts House and Activity is made.
* Bribing Wade and/or Doug to feed me is an acceptable alternative

(probably not Amanda)
