[Daryl has yet to use this for actually posting to the network. Until now. And it's only because he doesn't know where else to turn.]

I think I need a lawyer. Not for defense. For contracts.

[And that was all he was going to put up. Hopefully one of the other imPorts would be a lawyer or could point him in the right direction.]

You're in luck. This community of imPorts happens to have the best lawyer around.

Hi. Jeff Winger.

[dirtyredneck]

How long you been a lawyer?

text;

[textualhealing]

Mm, over fifteen years, give or take. At least six of which were in a top law firm and one of those having my own firm here.

[dirtyredneck]

So you dug through a lot of contract shit before or you been doing other kinds?

text; excuse the slow. i was hiatused

[textualhealing]

Little bit of everything. Back home my speciality was in criminal law, but I can go through paperwork like the best of them. Done plenty of contracts in my time. What you after?

text; It's cool

[dirtyredneck]

Making sure I ain't getting screwed over and I get as much money as I can.

My favorite kind of contract!
Few years back I set up a business contract for a friend of mine. Made sure she got the percentage she deserved. I'm sure I can do something similar for you if you need.

[[Daryl is very much not a fan of video. He prefers text and, at most, talking like he would on a phone. But if he was going to entertain the possibly of this guy being his lawyer, he needed to get a look at him. And writing out more details would be far more time consuming than Daryl liked.

When the feed switched over, Daryl was leaning forward, staring at the screen intently.]]

It's an endorsement contract. Got three offers.

Private Video

[Jeff, on the other hand, is totally fine with switching to video, seeing as how his face is plastered on TV. He's lounging in what looks like a pretty fancy office, besuited, feet up on his desk (where the camera is resting), and holding a full glass of scotch.]

Endorsement, huh? What's got the natives eager to have your name plastered all over their gear?

what for?

[dirtyredneck]

Contracts. For money.

[Sorry for the cryptic. This is public and he doesn't feel like saying more.]

[ Carl can understand the need for discretion ]

does this mean you are going to quit the job you got now?

Text

[dirtyredneck]

Ain't thought about that. You think I need to?

private

[ Carl switched to private for privacy's sake. ]

i don't know what kind of contracts are we talking about here?

private

[dirtyredneck]

Endorsements. For crossbow makers. A couple of them want me to sign off and say they're the ones I 'prefer'. One's offering to make a bow the way I'd want it if I could make my own and call it the 'Daryl Dixon Custom'. It's weird.

private

[112ounces]

i wouldn't trust the ones who tell me right off the bat they instantly know what weapon i would like. technology here is a little different from home, i've seen tasers here the size of rifles. [ And that's an understatement there. ]

but if it is a custom job I can't see the harm of trying it out. you think you can get them to give you a lifetime supply of arrows?

private

[dirtyredneck]

Don't know. I can ask I guess. Think I should do that without a lawyer?

[itstheirworld]

contracts?

[she knows it's not much in the way of words, but she is nonetheless curious why he is asking and what brought it on.]

text;

[dirtyredneck]

For money.

[Photoshoots might be involved, but he's not sure yet.]

text;

[itstheirworld]

is there any reason you need money all of a sudden?

text;

[dirtyredneck]

Want a different house.

text;

[itstheirworld]

tired of the couch? or is this about what breeze said about moving to a bigger place for you guys?

text;

[dirtyredneck]

For the family, yeah.

[And family included her.]

private text;

[itstheirworld]

[and like the line above says, she figures it's time to switch to private, away from prying eyes.

as for his comment of family, she's not sure of letting her mind picture herself in the equation just yet. figures it must be because of rosita.]

makes sense. but it doesn't seem like you to wanna do stuff that deals with contracts. what are you thinking of doing exactly?

[dirtyredneck]

Got some offers for endorsements from crossbow makers. They're willing to pay a lot just for me to say I like their bows.
