Distribution materials (containers, serving tools, etc.)

Instructional materials with pictorial guides]

“That’s… a lot,” I said, somewhat overwhelmed. “But given what’s in the treasury, it’s manageable. How quickly can all this be delivered?”

[Helpdesk Supreme offers expedited emergency relief delivery. Items can begin arriving within four hours, with complete delivery within twelve hours. Would you like to select this option?]

“Four hours?” I sat up straight. “That soon? Yes, absolutely, but we’ll need to phase the deliveries so we’re not overwhelmed all at once. Can we start with food and water, then move to shelter and hygiene supplies?”

[An excellent suggestion. Helpdesk Supreme has arranged a phased delivery schedule:

Phase 1 (4 hours): Food, water, and distribution supplies

Phase 2 (8 hours): Shelter and sanitation

Phase 3 (12 hours): Remaining supplies

Will this arrangement work for you?]

“Perfect,” I replied. “And make sure everything comes with pictorial instructions. Many recipients won’t be familiar with these items.”

[Certainly. All items will include clear pictorial instructions. Helpdesk Supreme has also added distribution guidance materials for your staff, including registration forms, inventory checklists, and procedural guidelines.]

After reviewing the final order, a new thought occurred to me.

“Supremo, quick question, can I sell things through OpenSesame too? Or is it just for buying?”

[Helpdesk Supreme is pleased to inform valued customer that OpenSesame offers comprehensive two-way commerce solutions. The Interdimensional Merchant Program allows sellers to reach customers across 7,423 realms, dimensions, and temporal locations.]

“So I could theoretically sell Iferona products to other realms?” My mind was already racing with possibilities. Those shadow mushrooms that grew in the Murk Marshes had unique properties. And the obsidian from our mines was supposedly of exceptional quality.

[Affirmative. Helpdesk Supreme observes that Iferona possesses 37 unique resources that are classified as ‘rare’ or ‘exclusive’ in the interdimensional marketplace. Setting up a merchant account would require completing a mere 24-page application, providing 13 distinct magical verifications, and agreeing to the standard 912-page terms of service.]

“Of course it would,” I muttered. “What’s your commission rate?”

[OpenSesame’s Interdimensional Merchant Program operates on a variable commission structure ranging from 8% to 42% depending on product category, realm of origin, dimensional accessibility factor, and whether the seller has opted into our ‘Premium Placement’ program which offers enhanced visibility across?—]

“Okay, okay, I get it. We’ll circle back to the selling part later.” I made a mental note to explore this further once the immediate crisis was handled. If I could establish Iferona as an exporter of unique goods, it might provide a sustainable revenue stream to fund the kingdom’s recovery.

“For now, let’s focus on the relief supplies. Confirm order.”
