[abstractart]

Yeah, it seems like it is. So far we've got a chair.

[just

singular chair]

[metacognition]

[ wow ]

For all of you?

[abstractart]

I usually sit on the floor anyway...

[metacognition]

[ he just. sighs. ]

What a lifestyle change...

[abstractart]

What are you used to?

[metacognition]

[ he's quiet for a moment, and starts counting on his fingers............

counting..... ]

....I think I own five residences, now? Give or take. Not counting hotels.

[abstractart]

Oh, you're the Nest type.

[nods... yeah, makes sense.]

What do you do with five houses?

[metacognition]

[ like. nesting...? for some reason that is funny, and fei du smiles at it, tilting his head back a little. he's too Vibey to be too bothered. ]

Mmm. I live between two...well, sort of. The others I rent out to people who need them. Rent in Yan City is expensive for the average person, so I try to provide somewhere fair.

[abstractart]

Huh. Most people who rented out space probably wouldn't bother with that...

[if nothing else, it sounds like he's different from the usual sort of person with that kind of money.]

So is managing them your job, or is that just something on the side for you?

[metacognition]

[ playfully, he lifts a hand and puts a finger to his own lips - a shhhh gesture, and then winks. don't tell anyone. ]

As for a job - no, it's just a side bit.

[abstractart]

[he gets a little thumbs up in turn. yeah, sure thing.]

You must be pretty busy, then.

[metacognition]

[ immediately ]

Oh, no, I'm a wastrel with no real job.

[abstractart]

I think I'd be more jealous of that than the income...

[man he WISHES he was a wastrel without a real job.]

[metacognition]

Yes, well - in death, capitalism is defeated, sort of. It's moot, now.

[ he's also broke. what is $20. never heard of it. ] You might like the group of people I spend most of my time with, though they can be a bit... high octane, every now and then. They're always the sort down to have a good time.

[abstractart]

They sound like we might get along, yeah. I haven't really spent much time around anyone but my coworkers in a while... guess being here is its own kind of break, in that way, even if we don't get to relax.

[metacognition]

Well, you know what they say. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

[ teasing. ] Time to break that habit.

[abstractart]

If you asked them, they'd say that I wasn't in the habit of working, anyway...

[don't just admit to that]

[metacognition]

Maybe you were born to be a wastrel. [ also joking; ] Considered finding a rich spouse? A sugar daddy?

[abstractart]

You have to have something worth selling for that, right?

[also joking, at least.]

[metacognition]

Are you fishing for compliments?

[ hee hee ]

[abstractart]

Nah. You've just met me, anyway, I wouldn't ask you to start making things up.
