Unused to the lack of a currency system, are you.

[hello, he too is here to check it out, looking over a vending machine somewhat dubiously.]

I would be somewhat more concerned with the contents.

[siblingless]

[She shakes her head, looking his way.]

Yes... I can't help but to feel like I'm stealing from someone.

[But now that it's been brought up, she flips the package over so she can read the back.]

... Oh! [Unsurprising, but. Hm. She frowns, crinkling her nose.] These really don't provide much in the way of nutrition.

[arkitect]

If it is this Realm you're stealing from, I should think this is the least it owes us for our trouble.

[it isn't stealing if you're owed, and it absolutely owes them for being here resolving its issues.

but he leans in to glance at the package as well, when she comments on it.]

...I suppose they don't. One would think portable foods to be more suited to sustaining travel.

[siblingless]

... I suppose we could call it our, ah, "performance fee?" [She may or may not be repeating what someone else said.

The poor nutritional value is really depressing, though. She sounds so disappointed.]

Right? Even if it's only a snack, it still ought to be healthier. [A glance at the kitchen doors. Gary, your sins...] Everyone would really be in trouble if this were a real space station as well.

[arkitect]

If you would call this a performance, then I suppose so.

[sumi who have you been learning from and is it the twins. he assumes anything like this comes from the twins.]

Besides, you say that as if we were not in some sort of trouble already. Poor health would not change terribly much.

[siblingless]

[It may or may not have been the twins. It is a mystery.]

... Another sort of trouble. [Because, point. Though she shakes her head.] And I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. Without a proper nutrition, you body won't respond the way it ought to if you're ever in a pinch. Good health is a matter of personal safety, too.

[arkitect]

It would be the same for any of us, then-- so at the least, anyone else getting the idea to follow that boy's lead would be equally affected.

[they'd all suffer together. wow, bonding.]

[siblingless]

That's a little... extreme.

[Terrible bonding activity. Bad job, everybody.]

We may have other problems to worry about as well.

[arkitect]

Certainly for the best that we do not all need to suffer it.

[but it'd at least be an across the board disadvantage, more or less.]

It does feel as though there must be more problems we simply have yet to come across, does it not?

[siblingless]

[A nod.]

When I spoke to Wolf-san a week ago... They explained the nova we collect may take the form of something dangerous to us. We need to be prepared for anything.

[arkitect]

I would not be surprised if it did. This place has seen death, now-- it would make sense if other dangers appeared in turn.

[siblingless]

Yes, the realm is deeply affected by our presence... I only hope there's a way to undo the damage that was done to it when Hajime-san died.

[arkitect]

There may not be, just yet-- or there may be no clear path to it. All that we can do for now is remain watchful, and seek information where we can.

[siblingless]

I suppose... Honestly, it's a little frustrating that all we can really do is wait.
