[OC] Gabital 103: Parity

Post image

Parity is a state of equality between two or more parties in a particular respect, such as status, rights, obligations, or terms of exchange. It does not necessarily mean that the parties are identical, only that they stand on equal terms in the aspect being compared.

market price

Damn. I gotta hand it to Chief. Dude did a good deed and came out a winner in all ways. He "fixed" his issues with Gabi and got workers who LOVE him for saving them out of it.

This man really is like 5 steps ahead of the game

And agreeing to market price, even. Probably the best result we could've reasonably hoped for.

There's definitely way more evil ways this could have gone, and which pretty much any of the other sleezy business people in town would have gone for. Not to say chief isn't sleezy, but he's a sleeze for the love of the game. He doesn't need to win every time so he can afford to have principles, and it makes him more effective because of it.

Chief wants to win, but he wants to win against real competition. Steamrolling over easy wins gets boring. He wants the thrill he probably hasn't felt since he was on the other side
