hello everyone ヾ(・ω・ｏ)
my name is ren and i have a couple of questions about house stuff
or finding a place to live in wyver stuff i guess
though if you live somewhere else and want to talk about that then go ahead~

anyway, i was wondering what parts of the city are good for newcomers other than the old city
i know the old city seems to be where it's easiest to get somewhere but it's not really very nice compared to the rest of the city... (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
and it's been a really long time since i had to find a place to live, and doing it by myself is harder because it means i have to worry about money more... ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／

[As someone who's been pretty well off his entire life, the "having to worry about money" angle is probably the newest part of all this to Ren.]

i haven't been here very long so i thought it might be best to get advice from people who've been here longer~
since a lot of you seem to have been here a pretty long time
so i'd really appreciate anyone's help! ҉*\( ‘ω’ )/*҉

I've read it.
And I'm saying that whatever your job is, it's obviously not paying you enough for the lifestyle you want to live.

Also if I were you I'd stick to Nadril over Olympia. Olympia's districts are even more financially secluded then Wyver are. At least in Nadril everyone seems to be living fairly similar lifestyles with barely any financial diversity.

[thedarkbond]

you know there's more than one reason someone can be limiting how much they spend, right...? (｡ˇ艸ˇ)

hmm, it would take too long to get from nadril to wyver, though
at least olympia is only an hour and a half ┗(・o・)┛

[smithandwesson]

If you're claiming you have excess funds and you are saving it for something else than you are an idiot for complaining to begin with. It is you're own fault that you can't afford someplace better and now you just look like some brat coming here on the network who is complaining for the sake of complaining.

So you can either use some of those savings of yours to get yourself a better damn place, get a better job that pays you more, or move to a place that has way less of a class divide.

Spoiler: Olympia is not that place.

[thedarkbond]

i don't know, i think that reaction means there's something worthwhile about it (✿˘艸˘✿)
but honestly, grumpy-san, i'm not sure you're paying attention at all...
i'm a little hurt (っ- ‸ – ς)
doesn't it get boring being that grumpy all the time?

[Ren's a little too polite and vague to say it directly, but he has the impression that Sanzo's not exactly coming off much better than he thinks Ren is in this exchange.]

[smithandwesson]

I don't know.
Doesn't it get tiring being so obtuse all the time? I'm simply stating things as I see 'em.

Truthfully I don't even feel that angry at the moment, more so I'm just baffled over your reason for acting like some coy idiot. If you're a lonely asshole who's looking to make friends through setting up a roommate situation why don't you just ask instead of passively complaining about housing costs and location?

[thedarkbond]

i don't know, doesn't it get tiring making hasty assumptions all the time...? （─。─）

but you know, i'll be nice and leave you to think on them~
it's more fun that way, isn't it? (^_−)☆
i got what i asked for anyway

[From at least one person, because for once, he really was asking for exactly what he said. He hadn't been lying about not wanting to impose, but in a place like this he knows better than to open the floor to people he doesn't know.]

unless you're just dying to keep talking to me, of course~ (♡´艸`)

[smithandwesson]

Congratulations.
You managed to find someone who was willing to give you the information. That doesn't quite stop the fact that in order to live in such a place you would actually need to find someone who's willing to tolerate living with you.

None the less, you must be ecstatic about this new prospect.

[thedarkbond]

oh wow, you are eager (+･艸･+)(+･艸･+)

but i'm pretty happy about it, actually~
thanks for asking (*^ω^*)

[smithandwesson]

Well good on you then. I guess that's one thing off your bucket list.


Now what?

[thedarkbond]

what, you want me to tell you all my secrets? (∗❛ั௦❛ั∗)
i didn't know you were such a gossip, grumpy-san~

[smithandwesson]

It's amazing what hobbies one can find interest in when they have infinite free time and lots of boredom.

But if it's that much of a 'secret' I suppose I can be spared the juicy details.

[thedarkbond]

hmm, doesn't sound like you're leading a very diligent lifestyle...

i'm glad we understand each other (❁´ω`❁)

[smithandwesson]

... Apparently.

Feels strange actually.

[thedarkbond]

maybe you should try doing it more often (*´艸`*)

[smithandwesson]

... What?

Understanding people?

[thedarkbond]

and agreeing with them~

[smithandwesson]

Ah yes.
Blindly agreeing to everyone without questioning anything sounds like a wonderful way to go about life.

[And absolutely mind-numbing.]

Is that how you go about everything you do?

[thedarkbond]

there you go again with your conclusions~ (。ｕ艸ｕ。)
seems like that must be pretty blissful for you, right?

[It's a staggeringly obtuse way of saying he thinks it's about as mind-numbing as agreeing to everything.]

[smithandwesson]

There's a famous saying within my world:

'Don't practice what you don't preach.'

Perhaps those words may do you some good. Because I'm not taking the advice to blindly agree from a man who obviously isn't much of the unquestioning moron himself.

[What a backhanded compliment.]

[thedarkbond]

you take things way too seriously though, grumpy-san ʅ(´-ω-`)ʃ
i'm just trying to help you to lighten up a little~

[smithandwesson]

....... You sayin' I'm don't know how to lighten up?

[thedarkbond]

well, i think you just said it (●´艸`)
but i don't think you're wrong about it

[smithandwesson]

I'm only just repeating what you yourself said.

[He can feel himself outwardly sighing. This conversation is running in circles.]

In fact, I can pretty much take that opinion of yours and say the opposite of you. You really should take some of these matters a bit more seriously no?

[thedarkbond]

that sounds pretty boring to me ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
i don't get how you serious people enjoy being like that all the time

[smithandwesson]

It's not a matter of enjoyment. It's a matter of responsibility.

It just proves how young you are, mentally at least, that you never had to go around with any such worries bearing down upon you.
