AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[ 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. ]

We don't know what's going to happen, the spending we're doing on necessities is already removing most risk, so it'd be good if we need to move ourselves quickly.


And we can always sell it later.

On that budget, we're only meeting the bare minimum required for medicine and clothing. The bare minimum isn't enough to keep us safe entirely. What good will a car do us, except to give us a couple of points towards winnin'? I don't care about that-- I care about keepin' you guys safe.

You're talkin' about "utility," but you've seen how this game works. The game isn't gonna give us a chance to put the car's utility to use. It's a waste. A useless item.

Even if we sold it, likely we could only sell it for about half of what we're payin' for it now.

[Heee's realizing he ain't gonna win this, so.]

Well, if we cut the car, how about..

1300 for housing, 1200 for food, 700 for medicine and 600 for clothes?

[WELL SPARK IS OUTNUMBERED, but. . .]

[he nods]

That's better. And we can save the rest, plus what we earned from sellin' the alcohol.

[whoslaughingmeow]

...I don't think saving is a good idea.

Last time it.

Attracted thieves.

[He sort. Looks at his leg. Whoops.]

. . . [oh. well]

Good point.
