Help a down on their luck artist. Go commission something. then you can come back and read the story.

Sometimes life beats you down. You become unemployed. The skies are eternally dark with rain. Your morale has hit rock bottom and started to drill into the depths of despair. And all you can afford is a cup of coffee from your favorite French cafe and nothing else.

Maybe though. Just maybe. People will come and help you out. A kind word. A helping hand. An illegally imported delicacy brought into a cafe while the owner is looking somewhere else. Just ignore the Gryphon who came in from a warring dimension with sweets.
