Why did you come here?

To buy something.

Muffet positively beams when you tell her you want to buy something. "Well, that's what we're here for, cutie. What would you like?" She asks. You browse her selection of pastries for a minute, before picking out your favorite kinds of sweets. Once Muffet is done adding them to a box, she places the box on the counter and rings up your total. "Alright, with all those pastries you picked out, your total is going to be 9999G." She says innocently, as if that is a normal amount of be asking for a few baked goods.

Before you can start to complain, Muffet holds up one of her hands to stop you. "But, since you are quite the cutie, I'll lower the price to a measly 50G. How about it, dearie?" You agree that that is a more reasonable price, and start looking for your wallet in order to pay Muffet. You begin to panic for a moment when you can't find your wallet, only to remember that you never had a wallet to begin with. Muffet starts to frown when she realizes that you don't have any money. "Can't afford it?" she asks. "What a shame, and I was just starting to like you too. Oh well, no money, no service." With that, Muffet takes the box of pastries off the counter and puts them away.

You rack your brain, trying to think of some way you can convince Muffet to give you the donuts. Thinking quickly, you put on your most charming smile and lean on the counter to be closer to Muffet. You say to her that if she gives you the donuts now, you'll be sure to tell everyone you meet how generous Muffet is, and that they should come down to her bakery. Muffet chuckles slyly at your reasoning once you are done talking. "Dearie, take a look around." Muffet gestures to all the customers that are filling up her store. The place is positively packed, with baked goods flying off the shelves almost as soon as they are replaced. "Everyone already knows about my bakery, and if they haven't come here yet, I doubt anything you say will change their mind, no matter how convincing you might be. I'm afraid you'll have to pay now."

Feeling rather dejected at missing your opportunity to acquire some sweet treats, you simply nod your head begrudgingly. Muffet must have noticed your somber expression, because she responds with, "Aw, don't be so glum, it's not a good look for you. Tell you what, I can see you're someone who is good at talking to others, and if you're willing to work for a few hours, I would be more than happy to pay you for your services. I already have plenty of workers between my spiders and my dear Susie helping me out, so you can pop in whenever you need some extra cash and I'll help you out. What do you say?"

You would be foolish to turn down such a generous job opportunity, so you nod your head in agreement. Muffet happily claps her two highest hands together. "Wonderful." Muffet says. "So then, would you like to work now, or perhaps some other time?"

Work now, or later?
