Thanks, hi, I have a question. I'm sure you wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of an interdimensional human summoning if you didn't think we could do the job or why you think this is more important than anything we were doing for our homes, so I won't ask about my qualifications or lack thereof, but. Question—

[actually, correction:]

Questions. One, if this is a job, what's the pay? Do my next-of-kin get compensated if we die in a civil war? Do my next-of-kin know I've disappeared to here in the first place? Who is paying my bills while I'm here? I have some very delicate specimens at home, and I'm looking at literally priceless damage if my air conditioning gets cut off.
