Hah? [ Here's a boy who's out of breath, waving a hand in front of his face to fan himself. ] I'm going to have one m, million dollars...? And I'm supposed to use it to save the c, country?!

[ He hardens up pretty quickly at the thought. ]

A million dollars isn't enough to save an entire country! Maybe if we traveled back in time another few years, it might be worth a try. It's worthless now! It's utterly worthless and you're not listening to a single word I'm saying, are you?

Sheesh, who would have thought I'd end up with another troublesome person. I bet you're one of those types that subscribes to magazines just to acquire limited edition omake too! Well, if you're going to send me there, hurry it up, will you?!

A million... are you being elected the president, then? Such responsibility...

[ex_ridden244]

Not q, quite! [ The news is alarming to him still. ] They give everyone a million dollars. I just don't think that's enough to save a country unless everyone works together, but what are the chances of that happening?

[fraternal]

...really? How do they know you're all spending it on the right things...?

[ex_ridden244]

Apparently it's all tracked on some kind of mechanical device. It's like a mini computer that doubles as a phone. What are they called... Oh! A cell phone, that's what it's called.

[fraternal]

All that on a cellphone? That's amazing...

That's a lot of responsibility and money to place on so many people...

[ex_ridden244]

Which is exactly why it's not going to work! Everyone is going to just run around countering the actions of everyone else. If someone uses the money to get rid of crime, someone else can just bring it back with their own. It's completely, utterly, and devastatingly hopeless!

[knightmaking]

One hundred million, actually, if I've heard right! Though that's only slightly better, isn't it?

What they expect anyone to do for a country with a funding cap like that, I certainly don't know.

[ex_ridden244]

One hundred million!?

[ Now that is something completely different. ]

I'm just not right for the job! There's plenty of other people that could go in my place, but she insists that I go instead. I'm surrounded by absurdity no matter where I go in my life.

[knightmaking]

[Why people would freak out over one hundred million, when he's sure his research has blown through double that in the past... Oh well. People can be so strange!]

Really? Then maybe she's only sending you because she thinks it'll be funny to watch you fail. That seems to be a common enough trend around here. [Failure, failure everywhere.] Unless you don't survive to use any of it. Then you won't have to worry at all!

[ex_ridden244]

[ It's called being a eighties kid!! ]

To f, fail!? [ Shaking his fist. ] Hey mun, that isn't amusing in the slightest!

[ And back to Lloyd. ]

Besides, I can't fail. I'm doing this for someone else entirely, so it's important that I succeed. That's just how it's going to be.

[knightmaking]

You're not right for the job but you're still going to do it? [More interesting than giving up, at least!] That someone must be important to get you to do that, even after all that complaining! It's not the mun, is it?

[ex_ridden244]

Why would I waste my time doing a favor for some ungrateful wench that insists on taking me away from my travels?! Of course not! The responsibility has been shoved on me, so I have to be a man and face it.

[hetairoooyjenkins]

BOY!

*Riderslap on the back.*

[ex_ridden244]

[ And there he goes.
Flying through one, two, three, four walls. OOMPH! ]

W,what are you d,doing here!?

[ And just not going to bother to get up because he'll end up on the floor again if he does. He just knows it. ]

[hetairoooyjenkins]

Setting you straight! What's that defeatist nonsense I hear tumbling out of your mouth?

[ex_ridden244]

[ Some habits are hard to set straight, Riderbro. ]

Do I look like I should be responsible for that much money or even more?! These people are crazy!

[hetairoooyjenkins]

*Knuckles. On. Your. Head.* Weren't you just complaining about how worthless a million dollar-whatsis was? Make up your mind, boy!

[her_saga]

A million dollars? Worthless?

[She mutters something under her breath. Something awful.]

Listen, kid, I know the dollar's not doing too swell these days, but only a rich, pampered brat would just blow it off like that! The only question now that we've established that is just how rich and how pampered you are!

Answer me by saying "slightly" or anything above wins you a long, free vacation. To an ACROSS work camp.

[ex_ridden244]

[ Not sure if should answer or not. ]

I'm not a spoiled brat! Anymore. I just think if a country needs help, it would take a lot more than just money to fix it!

[her_saga]

Well, c'oitnly, that's a given. Strong, charismatic leadership is the driving force of everything beyond just dinero. See, though, actions have to reflect leadership. And what I'm saying is strong, charismatic leadership and frugality is the way to world conquest! ... er. World... helping.

[ex_ridden244]

[ Oh no she said the c-word. ]

Conq,quest!? Do you mean you plan to conquer this country?

[her_saga]

Well, more like the world, but...

[... Oh.]

I said nothing! I said nothing, you hear me!? No you don't, because my lips are sealed shut!

[zerosummed]

[ Well, little boy -

Since you seem to be so completely out of your league, and it's for charity, you get one (1) tip. ]


...buy the land of a large warehouse near the border.

[ex_ridden244]

And just what would I do with an entire warehouse?

[ He's a magus, not a conqueror. That's Rider's gig, not his own. ]

[zerosummed]

[ God, they don't teach you any real life skills in that academy. ]


Stock hostages.
