TIAMAT

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

[Minimum food/housing budget is 1900.]

[we have 1825.]

[Just. This face.]

[HE FEELS YOU BRO]

Seriously. . .

[Outlining an idea to Ruby.]

I guess it wouldn't be Nafuna if there was actually enough to go around.

[sigh]

I like games we can't win.

[he says super dryly]

. . . I say we give the least to clothing. The other three are a lot more important.

[He nods.]

Diamond and I were bouncing around a budget... I'm thinking 500 in housing, and 900 in food. Then, we're thinking split the rest between clothing and medicine... 225 and 200.

We can live through leaky roofs and working shirtless, but you gotta' have food and medicine.

[shakes his head]

Add another 100 to housing. Take it from the clothing budget.

I think we should pass on taxes, too.

That's a little bit dangerous...

Well, but you are a thief.

[haha]

We don't have enough anyway, so we're just gonna have to risk it.

There's not enough...

S-so what do we do? We have to go without something for right now, don't we?

Well... we're family, right? So we could probably skimp on housing and buy a smaller place for 500. Then, we can all just spend 900 on food. Can't work if you don't have a full stomach, right? Then, we can do 125 on medicine, and 300 on clothes.

Not much in luxuries, but it's functional. Right?

Clothing is a waste of an expense if it is something we can fix on our own. Medicine is a greater necessity, yes?

Then 200 in medicine, 225 in clothes, and I'll just go without a shirt when I work?

No, keep your shirt on.

It's okay. I'm good at dealing with cold.

Right...?? [H...esitant about that. Numbers. :| ] That's not much medicine, though... Are you okay with that??

Mmm... [There's a lot of talkign going on with Kaito and Diamond.]

Well.. we'll figure something out. I'm sure of that much, at least.

Right. We'll just have to do the best we can with what we have.

[Sudden game face.]

[...I respect your intensity.]

Yeah. That's the way we'll do it.

[yeah i'm kinda making upset faces too]

Any ideas? [Might have just suggested one to Ruby.]

[hello upset face ): ]

...We'll figure something out, Diamond.

...

[headpats the tiny]

Yeah, we will.

[is headpatted

okay no i'm going to hug you]

Please trust us, okay?

You don't have to look so sad.

[CRITICAL HIT....]

... I'll trust you. You don't need to worry about it, okay? I promise. It's just not fun to think about.

[ruby used cute charm

Not letting go yet you tsun tsun]

I know. It's really scary, but... we're together, and we'll do this together.

It doesn't mean I'll stop worrying about you, though. Because I want us to make it through this.
