Wow, haven't seen you since that one site owned by Mother Russia. A fine exercise in illustrating the shape of corruption, if I say so myself. ... it's like a weird, bent up circle. Anyhow, we had a topic, didn't we? Okay, uh... ah, right.

MONEY. A HUNDRED MILLION CLAMS' WORTH. EIGHT BILLION YENS. THE KIND OF MONEY THAT THE LOTTERY MAKES AFTER DANGLING SOME SMALLER AMOUNT IN PEOPLE'S FACES.

... What am I going to do with it? Until I figure out how to get back to Fukuoka (Lord Il Palazzo's Fukuoka, let's be clear about that, not the ACROSS-less one in your imaginary game world), I'll be using the money for the conquest budget. ... look, that's not the point!

Just what kind of bourgeois, mustachioed fatcat just hands out money like this? This isn't a pittance or anything no matter how you look at it! It's eight billion yen. Let me spell that out for you, that's... Eighty million hundred yen coins! To say that it's a lot would be a monumental understatement.

And how do you expect I protect this money from everyone after me if every last cent is shoved into this dinky cell phone? If anyone's going to be after us, it'll sure as hell be the phone company.

Okay, ignoring everything ELSE that's wrong about that whole diatribe...

Why would the PHONE COMPANY be after you?

[her_saga]

All "dose dollars" we're getting is apparently shoved into the cell phones we're getting. How is the phone company not a part of this?

Have you seriously never heard of digital payment systems?

[her_saga]

My preferred method of payment is cold, hard, untraceable cash.

[So no, Phoenix, not really.]

[wright_idea]

And you somehow think having that money in cash is less likely to attract attention than having it in a private, difficult to hack payment account, huh.

[her_saga]

Yes.

[She really believes this. There's a reason why she doesn't trust electronics too much let alone the ATM.]

See, the thing about electronics is that... they always keep recorded what you did. What you do. Anytime you use it. Today, yesterday, last month, last year... for a person of my, er, goals, this is kinda annoying.

And I admit that people are bound to notice when I'm using too much cash too. I get that. The bloodthirsty, greedy look on those horrible, veined, wrinkled faces from back at that cafe still haunts my dreams. ... in any case, at least with cash, it's a matter of how discreetly you spend it. I trust me more than I trust a machine.

...You're not seeing the bigger picture of that game, are you?

[her_saga]

You talkin' about that "make the country a better place" nonsense?
