(Note: Terry gave Kido his phone. Bought his own flipphone on 8/26!)

He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

It's only been half an hour. Don't give up, Terrence.

[overstrain]

kido

im over 100 miles away from town

[reveilation]

Oh. Must be a large source of water... Maybe you can find the guides out there so they can send you home quicker.

[overstrain]

im not gonna interrupt a married couple on their camping date... ill run on my own

[reveilation]

It's what?

[overstrain]

their camping date?

[reveilation]

Didn't I tell you not to dig around people's heads for that private stuff?

[overstrain]

but i didnt! but what else would it be?? theyre married and rei knew them before. she even attended their wedding

[reveilation]

[ #doubt ]

Oh. If Rei says it, then okay. Turns out they're good friends, huh? It's good she has people she knew from back home.

[overstrain]

i... guess... but they forgot everything about it, so... idk if that counts

ahhhhh i cant wait until we get to sleep in a house together im so tired.......

[reveilation]

[ Souji and Minato are dead to her for forgetting Rei ]

Worded differently... but same here. We can move in at the beginning of the month?

[overstrain]

[ ??? He is not sure what needed to be worded differently but. ]

yeah that sounds fantastic

the house doesnt come furnished does it...

[reveilation]

Probably not. We'll have to get all sorts of stuff to make it liveable. Can you figure out the best prices if I write you a list of things we need?

[ first thing on the list is going to be like four queen sized beds or something, I hope Terry is working hard to afford all this ]

[overstrain]

i can but can we at least start with futons? unless thats what you wanted...

[reveilation]

We would have to replace them with beds in the future anyways. It would be a waste of money to buy both.

[overstrain]

[ ...

He has a bad feeling... ]

okay gimme the list and ill see

[reveilation]

A bed, sheets and linen, pillows, dresser, nightstand, and table lamp for each bedroom; and for the rest of the house we'll need floor lamp, two couches, coffee table, dining table, six chairs, throw rug, shower curtain, towels, shampoo, all those other small bathroom items, maybe a bookcase, pots, pans, eating utensils, cutlery, bowls, plates, cups, water boiler, rice cooker, microwave, toaster, blender, dish rack, dish soap, towels, detergent, laundry hamper, trash bags, and a vacuum cleaner at the minimum. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know too.

[overstrain]

[ ................... ]

im going to cut off more than half of these for the first month

[reveilation]

No! Which ones? They're all essential items!

[overstrain]

[ Terry was initially going to copypaste the entire message and strike through the things that he deems unnecessary for the first month of living in the new house, but then he decides to ask a better question in order to get Kido to understand. ]

whats your budget, kido?

how much money do you have?

[reveilation]

After the down payment, around ћ20,000.

[ We can pretend she can make that currency symbol on Terry's American phone. But anyways it's like $200. ]

[overstrain]

thats enough for a single queen sized bedframe thats CHEAP and doesnt look like a medical bedframe

:|

[reveilation]

This place isn't even a huge city! How are things so expensive?

[overstrain]

beds are always expensive, kido... and thats not even counting the mattress that you need to buy separately. that's around the cheapest queen sized bedframe i can find that looks decent and the queen sized mattress is even more expensive, even the most basic spring kind. ћ20,000 is actually really really cheap for a bedframe, much less a mattress...

do you understand now after looking back at your list :( lets just get the necessities first

[reveilation]

How many monsters would I have to kill to afford three bed frames and mattresses?
