This might sound weird but what are wanted posters? she asked. So far everything they said sounded familiar in some way but she had no clue what those were.

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

Oh, I can answer that one, I think. A wanted poster is a way for a community to let others know about a criminal on the loose. They have a picture of the wanted person and sometimes they offer a reward for catching/killing them. At least, that's how they worked in my timeline.
We don't really use them anymore, though, because the police do most of the crime fighting these days and random civilians aren't supposed to get involved.

@Spider-man

Oh we don't have those. We don't exactly have criminals in the same way you guys do. Technically I'm a criminal or at least am seen as a potential peacebreaker which is essentially the same thing. that's why I'm in the situation I'm in. She didn't want to give to much away or that she is technically an actual peacebreaker now.

Whoahhh!! First of all, this looks exactly like me, and second of all, how in the world did you do that so fast?? That's amazing! Thanks so much, Elara :) You have tons of talent!

@saor_illust school

haha thanks you guys
ive been drawing for what seems my whole life
although, i really only started to get into digital a couple years ago

and it really only took me about eight-nine hours to do, not counting the numerous food breaks i took haha

@Spider-man

that looks amazing! I’ve never seen digital art before. I love to draw too but there’s no way I’m at that level yet she sent still gawking at the picture.

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

Melanie set her mouth in determination. Elara, I will literally pay you for that painting. I had no idea you'd be working so hard on it, so it's only fair. I totally have the money. How much do you want? Idk how I'll get the cash to you across the dimensions, but I'll do whatever it takes.

@saor_illust school

i-
it wasnt that hard i swear!
it may have been time-consuming
but its not that difficult!
and as far as commissions work, its usually the commissioner who decides the price, im pretty sure
oh and about payment, paypal will work, if you have that

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

Pff, I'm just an ignorant rich person, I have no right to put a price on your art! Only you know how much time and effort went into it. How about a hundred dollars for that incredible accuracy and detail? Or more, idc. Especially since it's medical bills we're talking about here. I'll paypal it right to you.
Melnie knew she was being a little bit careless with her money, but refused to let it bother her. Her parents had been giving her a hefty allowance for years now, but she'd never been interested in spending it until now, so she had plenty in the bank. Besides, this felt like a worthy thing to pay for, not like the fancy, useless gifts her parents gave her.

@saor_illust school

Elara always had something against using capital letters when writing, but she felt the occasion called for it.

WHAT????
i swear thats too much
twenty, thirty dollars is fine…
but youre not wrong, medical bills are expensive
and since we are talking about paypal
ill just casually drop my email:

(oh, and as far as ik thats not a real email)

@Young-Dusty-the-Monarch-of-Dusteria group

[gotcha lol]

How about this: nine dollars an hour is minimum wage where I come from. Let's round that up to ten for simplicity's sake. You say you worked about eight or nine hours on that painting? So I'll pay you eighty-five dollars. Sound fair?

@Spider-man

(Minimum wage is only $9 where you are??))
Ava wasn’t really sure what was going on. She hadn’t heard of PayPal and didn’t really know how currency worked in there time. She stayed silent and watched everyone else type.

@saor_illust school

alrighty, and you're welcome.

Elara found it weird that it was just a reply with a couple of words, but it would work for now. She sighed. Eighty dollars still seemed like a lot for a commission. In terms of medical bills, it was definitely pretty cheap, but still. Just a couple of seconds later, her phone dinged, making her aware of an incoming payment in paypal. Tapping on the notification, she was confused at why it didn't show up at the top. Scrolling through the payment history, she realised that was because the way it had worked, seeing as Melanie was probably behind her in times, it had decided to send in 2000, not 2013.
