Hello, Christopher-nii-sama! May I have my allowance?

Re: text;

[vo5]

[You'd better believe he stared at this text suspiciously for several long minutes.]

So soon? You should have received money from the landlord when you arrived.

[twee]

( oh, but he doesn't know, yet. also isn't this just such a small amount. ) It was $500.

[vo5]

[it really is. he does have some sympathy.]

Yes. It wasn't much, I know.

[twee]

So it's not really been an adequate substitute.

[vo5]

Have you already spent it?

[twee]

There is some left.

[vo5]

How much is "some"?

[twee]

About 15%.

[vo5]

Michael, you've only been here a week.

[twee]

But a monster attacked our house!

[vo5]

A monster? You mean whoever was behind that chain letter on the network?

[twee]

Yes! And the only real choice I had was to buy protection.

[vo5]

[...oh no.]

You didn't spend ALL of that on protection, did you? I think only one or two cans would have done it.

[of course, the whole monster protection thing was clearly a scam, but if it made Michael feel better...]

[twee]

No not all of it, I only bought 33 cans. The rest I spent on hobbies.

[vo5]

Michael, those cans were ten apiece.

[twee]

( Chris can't see it but he is kind of whining at the moment )But ten what? Ten isn't a big number. But 33 is an auspicious number, you know, and this monster seems supernatural for real.

[vo5]

Ten is a big number when all you have is 500.

I understand that, but there are smaller numbers that are good luck too, aren't there? What about 6?

[sigh. if we're going with Numbers number here...]

[twee]

If there are a lot of tens.

But 33 has 3 twice, right there in a row. And Machu Mach is a more reliable defence. ( because, you know, he can actually control it, and it is actually good in a supportive deck. )

[vo5]

Yes, exactly. And 33 is a lot of tens.

I wish I could help you, but I only started out with 500 too, and we were also targeted by the monster.

[twee]

( it takes him some time to respond on this one. ) You are right.

What should I do, Christopher-nii-sama? Ask the landlord for our family assets back? ( just another thing to add to the list...)

[vo5]

I wish I thought that could work.

If you really need extra spending money, you should look into getting a job.

[twee]

How do I get one of those?

[vo5]

[sorry, it takes him a little longer to respond to this because you know what. even here he's kind of just been handed things or knew the right people. what a spoiled older brother you have, michael]

Look around town and if you see a place you like, go in and ask if they're hiring. I think most people here would be understanding of new people looking for a job.

You could also ask our other friends. I know at least Kaito actually owns a place.

2/2

[vo5]

[and a minute later]

I know you don't like Kaito, but you should stop by sometime just to see. He owns a bookstore and most of what he has in stock are history books.
