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. ]

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.
