[whiteshroud]

[Jun, not sure March will give a fair price for her services, is doing a quick google search on how much wedding photographers cost.

Varian and Haru, should they be in the Alley, will probably hear a loud "They cost THAT much?!" coming from Jun.

Ahem. ]

Maxima, add an extra 5k to the proposed offer if he wishes to include add photography to the bundle.

This is not an overestimate.

[trailblazingspirit]

Wait what.

I've just been charging like 95 dollars for events so I have a week of boba tea and cookies, what do you mean that's an underestimate? You're serious? I should be charging more???

[whiteshroud]

[HE KNEW IT]

Yes. Depending on their experience, skill level, and clientele - photographers can charge anywhere from $500 to over $20,000 for an event.

Based on how you've been photographing things for as long as you can remember, the quality of your photos, and the likely duration of this party.... $5,000 feels like an apt professional-level rate.

[droptheious]

Oh. This is what you were yelling about. Okay, I see now.

March, please charge more. Don't let Gilgamesh know you charge less. If you undervalue yourself, he will get you.

[trailblazingspirit]

OKAY OKAY OKAY I swear I didn't know!! I thought "oh I'm a pretty good photographer I can take pictures of events it'll be fun and I can have money for bubble tea and snacks every day of the week", I

okay I will charge $5000 I'm scared of what he'll do if I charge him my "bubble tea and snacks" price.

[whiteshroud]

I understand. But now you know. So congratulations.

You're now our most expensive Aides member to hire.

[trailblazingspirit]

I need to lie down. And also change my prices on my website.

At least I will get my new gaming chair this year.

[whiteshroud]

Understandable. It's a lot to take in the first time.

Good idea. You could get a cute custom one.

[droptheious]

Well, now you know. And you can charge better for your actually very good services.

I undervalued myself once, and he sent multiple giant cubes of supplies and food to my door for months. So my guess would be something unhinged like that. You dodged a bullet.

[trailblazingspirit]

Yeah I'll do what Shroud says and charge $5000 from now on arghhhhh I've been missing out on years' worth of bubble teas and cookies.

Don't undervalue yourself, silly! Also why cubes in particular??

[droptheious]

Is that all you want? Bubble tea and cookies?

Yeah, I've learned that lesson the hard way. And I don't know. That's weird Gil logic. They were bigger than I was.

[whiteshroud]

Mm. Haru said he was handling our wedding's photography, so I never looked into the pricing.

Next meeting maybe we should go over proper pricing when dealing with high end clientele if Gilgamesh has noticed us.

[droptheious]

Once again, I am so deeply grateful for Haru.

I think that's a good idea. You know how important it is for him that people know their own value. We don't want to make him think we;re not doing that.

[whiteshroud]

Me too.

Yes. As funny as the cube incident was (and yes it was funny), it'd be best to avoid a repeat of that.

[droptheious]

Uh huh, Chuckles. Would you have found it so funny if he dumped them in front of our front door if I was living with you full time then?

I think so. March doesn't deserve that.

[Wh—]

You've been WHAT?

[trailblazingspirit]

I don't pay rent!! When I have to do taxes I call Dan Heng!! The only thing I pay for is the Internet bill and that's because I stream, and I get LOADS of money from streaming and galleries! Event photos were a fun little side thing!!!!

I DIDN'T KNOWWWW

[life_ethereal]

[Man................. now he feels bad. This poor, poor lesbian.]

Well, now you know? Go give Caleb a smack from me while you're at it. Us hobbyist photographers gotta look out for each other!

[actnormal]

TRAITOR

[trailblazingspirit]

Yeah, now I'm gonna change all my prices on my site because I'm not going to miss out on gaming chair money. Jeez.

[life_ethereal]

Understandable.

[actnormal]

In March's defense she's an isekai and an amnesiac on top of the isekai?

And I didn't tell her anything else because it didn't matter but now it's Gil and IT SUDDENLY MATTERS A LOT

[life_ethereal]

IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE CRAFT, CALEB!

Jesus, even I was paid more as an assistant to photographers.

[actnormal]

She makes so much as a streamer I didn't think it mattered!!

[moderni]

[This is what he gets for trying to have a personal life, he put his work messaging down after dinner and came back to all of this.]

Understood. I wasn't aware that professional photography was that costly, but it does make sense considering the equipment and aesthetic skill involved.
