[Wait... what?]

what? [Cater hadn't told him about this. Then again, knowing Cater, Idia can see him making it 'a surprise!' for Idia... ehhh.]

yee gimme moment to read over. digital one work or need me to come in and sort this?

A digital signature is acceptable.

[ Not only is he Cater's 'owner', but he does own the store also... so... if he wanted Jade to hand-deliver it then it wasn't like Jade would have said no. ]

Please be sure to read the fine print. As all contracts, even business, are very important in the city.

yup yup gimme minute

[And Idia will take the time to read over everything carefully. Really, it's something he should had done earlier, to go over all papers linked to Catsanova. To know what he's working with. Lax on his part. In fact while he's reading he throws another text back to Jade.]

can u get me digital copies of all paperwork in regards to contracts? including any we got with suppliers. anything i really need to know going ahead that I havent looked over already

[Wait...]

have u been doing contracts or agreements between having doms owning the place? [It wouldn't surprise Idia if you have, Jade...

Should Idia be suspicious of his own workers? Normally, no. Since it's Jade? Yes.]

My first Dominant left the entire business in my hands and only participated when I required her signature for orders. She was rather technologically gifted, much like yourself, so we developed a system.

[ She also didn't suspect him of anything in particular, so she ~~foolishly~~ let him handle everything. ]

Previous employee contracts were 'grandfathered' from when Mr. Lance owned the business. Naturally, I handled the contracts for all that have come after. Floyd and myself included. I will scan any paperwork available in the back office to send to you.

[Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

This is bigger than Jade having shady contracts.]

is everything only in paper form ther?! u dont have a digital back up of it all? [Nope, nope. If that's the case, it has to be changed. Idia dislikes paper archives, but can understand the need some have for them. But as a back up! Digital should be first! It's faster and you can store more! And search easier!]

For the most part. When Floyd and I's first Dominant left, unfortunately her belongings disappeared with her and her device was confiscated by the city. Because of this, all of the previous paperwork and vendor contracts were unfortunately lost.

[ ... And. Well. Jade doesn't play with computers much. They're lucky he works with that silly Tablet-based register. Doesn't everyone just keep all their paperwork in a large safe in the manager's office???? ]

At this time, I have all of our paperwork safely under key.

[No. No they don't. And if Idia even gets a hint of Jade struggling with technology in a way that negatively effects the business, he's dragging the eel into tech class 101.]

ffs u picked up bad habits from azul... ok im gonna have to work on a system for that, plus take time to archive it digitally, and set it up as a back up so if i vanish or drop the business for some reason it will still be there [Not in Idia's plans but... gotta plan for the worst.

Ok, add to his 'to do' list for later. For now nothing was striking Idia as 'off' on the contract, even by Octavinelle standards. Or nothing he can't work with as both owner and Cater's Dom. A few more moments and the document back and signed digitally.] assume i can leave whatever set up u gotta do with new workers wit u?

Of course. Floyd and I are very attentive teachers. Cater will be up to speed before the end of the week.

[ Poor guy. ]

In the meantime, I will prepare the current documents that we have for you. Should I bring them by your private housing for you?

[RIP Cater.]

kk cool [Idia still oblivious to the real story behind this, still assuming this was all Cater's choice rather than his 'choice'. No doubt he will find this out when Cater returns home...

Talking of home... Idia does NOT want either of the twins knowing where he lives. Mostly Floyd. But what Jade knows Floyd knows.] no ill drop by to look it over. let me know when they ready

[ Oh, Idia. If only you didn't undervalue Cater's talkative mouth. What is a home to an employee? Haven't you heard of emergency contracts? Either way, Jade is happy to print out this document to put in the safe. ]

Wonderful. I will prepare the paperwork for you by the end of business hours. Would four in the morning be too inconvenient of a time for you?

[...what a mess to come.]

that fine. ill swing by after done with the garage. oh fuck also. what u into? gift wise? since u sub and cant do full pay. 'pay' via items. floyd said n i quote 'somethign weird'. rope. terrarium. mushroom tea. no clue how accurate he on any of those nor enough details if so

Gifts? That is hardly necessary. I am simply doing my job.

considering how much work ur doing ur totally underpaid since u a sub. but if u dont wanna it cool. let me know if u change ur mind on it

high work deserves recognition. simple as that.

in saying that floyd wants me to make him something so thats counting as his. as long as it not an issue he getting something and u not

I understand. That is rather compassionate of you, Idia-san. The ideas Floyd offered are sufficient, though if I think of anything in particular I will ask you.

We are fortunate that at least a few of us have such a beneficial designation.

[Omg...] it less that n more that lower paid vs work done employees have lower productivity than those who have a comfortable wage. Also more likely to leave and find work else where. if there those not pulling their weight then dont care if they go, but from what ive seen as customer n owner got a good staff that caters to a range of tastes that rather hold onto.

and if didnt know u already would tell u stfu talking like that... but thats u

In that case, how about you take me to dinner? My Dominant doesn't require food, so we do not often experience what the city has to offer in the form of dining.

[ He would say 'fine' dining, but... this is Idia. It'd be hard enough to get him out of his fancy little greenhouse as it is. ]

[...what?

What?!]

y would u want that?! [WTF?! Why?! Why would Jade even want that?!

Ehhh, Idia hates eating... why does everyone want to go out and have food with him?] cant i just get u the rope nstead?

If you agree to let me practice my knots on you that could be a suitable replacement.

[...]

where u wanna go eat? and when?

Wonderful. I will do some research and send you an invitation. Do you have any dietary restrictions that I do not know of?

no raw fish! or at least other options at the place [Idia regrets this all so much...]

Not a fan of sushi? I suppose considering this particular ocean that may be wise. Our first Dominant took us to a conveyor belt sushi restaurant to discuss contracting. Floyd enjoyed it quite a bit.

Very well. I will ensure the restaurant has cooked options. I will be in contact soon.

ah yeah sure

[How the fuck did it get to this?! This all started with signing a contract!]

Speaking of raw fish... have you had the opportunity to visit the city's Aquarium?

[That's... random. Idia expects this of Floyd, not you, Jade.] um no. had no reason to
