"There is also a rather certain other individual whom I can probably refer..."

"You want me to like send out pamphlets/nail some posters in the square,-? (smiley - ok)"

[King Michael] I only wish I could fill the position ... we really do need some better security around here. A King must first benefit his people, or soon he will not be a King.

[Sharp]: "I'm smiley - sorry, I wish I had some better advice too, but that isn't really my suite,-leadership I mean... I mean, once I was a 'lesser-noble' with a manor and stuff, but I don't really know much about 'kingship' stuff. I have travelled quite a bit though, and Am rather smiley - book-learn-ed... If you ever needed an extra advisor (Merlin knockoff! I kid ye not.), then maybe..."

I know that. smiley - winkeye

[King Michael] Yes, I'll need an entire new staff to help run my household, as my staff has given me their notice ... that'll include a Royal Chef, Royal Decorator, Royal Barber, Royal this royal that blahh blah blah! It's really quite a headache because no one seems to be interested in the positions, even though they come with good salaries.

[King Michael] All right, you're my Royal Engineer then. smiley - ok Your job will be to keep any and all machines I own that are near you in perfect working order, and to improve them if you can by any safe means. You will take your orders from me, and from my Royal Magician /if/ he accepts the job ... which he hasn't told me yet. You will be paid half as much as you're worth, which is twice as much as anybody else will pay you. You can quit anytime, as long as I have two weeks notice unless I give permission otherwise upon your request. Also, I can fire you any time, but only if I can pay you your wages up to that point, otherwise I have to keep you on until I can. Is that an agreement or do you have any other conditions or wish to reconsider?

"Uh, smiley - ok. The only other condition I'm wondering about is the procedure financial policy (money smiley - 2cents, etc.)...regarding R&D is..."
"Other than that it sounds completely fine, I think."

: This is the best chance Sharp has got to have a source for "putting out" part of his steady "stream of ideas/inventions" in a logical way/a manner of "straightforward common sense(?)."
