“I’m a total nonce when it comes to writing code”. … I…. I’m not trying to be mean, but, yes, yes you are.

default heretowork = ""

[...]

        menu:
            "Yes":
                $ heretowork = "Yes"
            "No":
                $ heretowork = "No"

        if heretowork == "Yes":
            si"Ok great, thats. . .uhm, great I guess."
            [...]
        if heretowork == "No":
            si"Uh. . ."
            [...]

There is no need for heretowork:

        menu:
            "Yes":
                si"Ok great, thats. . .uhm, great I guess."
                [...]
            "No":
                si"Uh. . ."
                [...]

Also, getting the intro, and then being told “Silphy isn’t here.”… is weird.

Also also, while not a big deal. You can skip checking if sexworkintro == 0 twice, by doing:

if sexworkintro == 0:
  if silphsex == 0:
        si"Uhnm. . .hi. . .are. . .you here to work?"
        menu:
            [...]
   else:
        si"O-oh hey [povname], here to do some work?"
        menu:
            [...]

Also also also, when I think about it, you’re using 0 and 1, instead of False and True… Which, I guess it works.
