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. ]

[haha. . .]

Okay.

And pay taxes this year.

Mm . . .

How many units for clothes? [glances at Diamond, then Ed] . . . two for clothes, at the very least. Three? I am fine for now.

Just two. I'm fine, and unless Ruby wants a pair then two will suffice.

. . . three, because Ruby has been keeping Diamond warm.

That would put us at . . . 3500? Then, whatever taxes would be.

And whatever is left over we can spend on alcohol.

[breathes out deeply. . .]

That included a unit of alcohol. We can use the rest on doctors for Ed and Diamond.

[. . . reaches out to touch his elbow] It will be fine.

[nods in agreement with that notion]

. . . I know.

[and then, dryly]

Next time we're given the option to blow something up, let's not take it.

[nnnot letting go of his elbow because someone else is also stressed and yes]

I do not know why we are ever given that option, all things considered.

You are alright, yes?

[that's okay he isn't moving to pull away from her grip]

I don't know why Ed insists on taking it, all things considered.

[waves a hand]

'M fine. I'm not sick or missing an arm.
