(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!

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?

[overstrain]

[ I'm looking at wal-mart quality beds and mattresses and I'm just like (holds head) why are beds such a luxury ]

a lot

if we assume each cheap decent bedframe is around ћ20k and each basic mattress for the same size is ћ25k

60k
75k
---
135k

ћ135,000 worth of loot drops. monsters dont always drop stuff either. chimeras need a lot of work but i havent seen them drop anything yet. these arent even fancy beds... theyre the bare minimum queen sized ones

[ yes he typed into the text to add those numbers ]

[reveilation]

[ I will never take my bed for granted ever again ]

We should have mugged that Tengu leader and stripped him of everything we could to sell.
Rei and I could share a bed to start and cut down some of the cost, but that's still a lot... Or if you don't mind sleeping on one of the two couches.

[ There has to be two couches... Also I'm realizing now that Terry probably means a Western futon and not the flat Japanese futon Kido refuses to sleep on because it's like lying on the ground and it hurts. ]

[overstrain]

yeah i was thinking that we could start off with a single bed and mattress for you two. theyre having a sale on sleeper sofas tomorrow so we are so much in luck... thank god

i think the cheapest with decent quality is around ћ15,000. its definitely affordable and you can even use it as a makeshift bed

all this math is making my head spin

[reveilation]

[ This is so complicated and maybe she doesn't want to move in with them anymore. She'll be giving up a real bed, sad ]

We'll make ends meet somehow. I'll work harder in the dungeons and think about picking up a new job. There's always used furniture instead of buying things brand new.
It was easier back home when I didn't have to worry about the expenses.

[overstrain]

[ Welcome to the adult life of getting a new house, Kido... ]

haha yeah... i didnt have to worry about expenses either and all i earned from my jobs were just spending money without worrying anything

anyway thats only the bed. ive been clearing entire floors lately in the dungeon so ive been saving a lot... we should at least have the bare kitchen essentials and bathroom amenities too. stuff like blenders and bookcases can come later

[reveilation]

[ She doesn't want to be an adult anymore. ]

And two couches? And the dining room table. Five chairs instead of six is also okay, but six makes it balanced.

[overstrain]

[ kido...................... it's Terry's turn to be tired lmao ]

how about you and rei cover the bed cost and ill try to get everything else thats necessary to live in a house

[reveilation]

[ It's all important stuff ): ]

If you're sure. Thanks.

[overstrain]

yeah... i dont think there will be a sale on bedframes and mattresses anytime soon so you can take your time in picking one out though there probably wont be too much to choose from

anyway im tired so im gonna take another nap and then probably go back to the dungeon when i wake up

good night kido :)

[ That sure was tiring... it's not even night yet. Time to start napping on the forest floor like a hobo with the music box on. ]

[reveilation]

Sure.
Don't forget to eat something when you wake up. Sleep well.

[ okay he's sleeping for real now aaaaahaha ]

[reveilation]

[ lmfao god I hate this, this text comes two hours later, like Kido's hoping he'll be asleep and miss the message and won't be awake until midnight anyways ]
