Hello,
I've been set up with a lightwriter and it's been very helpful. Now that I've gotten used to it, I was looking at leaving the mansion and going into the city. However, I do not have any American money. Is there an easy way to exchange what I have for USD? Or to potentially get more money without talking to Worthington?
Thanks,
Jono

The easiest way to convert pounds to dollars is to drop by my suite - I like to have a stash of English money handy for when I teleport there and any time I don't have to fuck around with the bank makes things easier. I can give you the current exchange rate, no charge. Just let me know roughly how much U.S. you're looking at?
As for making more... now you're looking to get out and about more, I've got some paperwork for you. Visa, social security number, work permit, bank account... our basic "so you had to come here because you're a mutant" package. So I can give you all that when you come by. Getting a job... you have a couple of options. Around the mansion itself there's the groundskeeping crew (that's Kyle's people) or the library can use some assistants (Topaz or Alani). Once your powers training's kicked in and you're not so dependent on the lightwriter, District X is your best bet. There's a couple of bookshops and a music place that I can give you a reference for, or the community centre can always use more hands, tho' they can't pay much.
I saw something on Sam's thread about music that you're an old school CD bloke. I have something you might be interested in, if that's the case. :)
Cheers,
A.

According to Google I have about $60 USD in my wallet, except in pounds.
Library would be great for now, I used to work in a bookstore.
I do like CDs, prefer vinyl but I don't have a record player anymore.
Thanks,
Jono

I can let Topaz know you're looking for work, unless you want to approach her yourself?

Thank you, I’ll pay you back once I have money/change.
And if you could reach out that would be great. I have no idea what she looks like.
Thanks,
Jono
