Cute that you think I'm not going to turn your money into a LOT of money. I'm good at what I do, in every way.

And I'm going to get money to help pay for it, Josh. To hold my own

[goldtoxicity]

Nah. I don't want you to. I'm not saying this place isn't going to be ours, but...

[ He pauses, trying to figure out how to explain it. He doesn't want to be shitty, but... ]

A few years ago I was living in the rubble of Utopia, I was too much of a wreck to go to the outside world, and when I did people'd come after me. It means a lot to me that I can, like... live here, and work here, and buy a house - and do it myself.

So, like - you buy the food, and the stuff that goes inside of it, and I'll cover the house.

[helpdesk_hero]

Furniture is expensive. But yeah, I get it. I... I dealt with a lot of bad with my time after, but not like you did.

[goldtoxicity]

Buy what you can, use my money for the rest.

[ He shrugs, jiggling a leg. ]

... All of this is just - it's just a little too close to what happened on Genosha.

[helpdesk_hero]

For me it’s evocative of the Mother parasite. I... want it to end. I feel helpless. Useless. Like everything I do is pointless.

It’s not so bad outside of Porter cities.

[goldtoxicity]

[ He picks at a hole in his hoodie - it's well worn, definitely something he throws on when he's not feeling up to looking presentable. ]

It all feels pointless.

[helpdesk_hero]

It does. Come on. I... let’s get moving. If you’re ready.

[goldtoxicity]

Yeah, I'm good.

[ He stands up, slipping his hands in his pockets. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

Good. Because I have a likely place nearby with bay windows. Think about reading a book on one of those.

[goldtoxicity]

You mean play my switch, right?

[ WHO READS DAVID ]

[helpdesk_hero]

I took that as sexual at first. How sad is that?

But yeah. If the lighting doesn’t mess things up.

[goldtoxicity]

Your minds in the gutter with mine now.

[ alrighty, time to walk. ]

I definitely don't want something like the X-Mansion.

[helpdesk_hero]

I don’t either. A nice comfortable home would be good. Could skip on the pool. But I want a GOOD kitchen. And I’m thinking about hosting Thanksgiving.

[goldtoxicity]

No. I definitely want a pool. And do we need a decent dining room too?

[helpdesk_hero]

Frankly? I prefer open floor plan kitchens with a table for two to four.

[He needs to start planning things. Look to the future.

[goldtoxicity]

Well, you're the style expert.

[ look at him he looks like a hobo. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

I really am. Now let’s get to it. Our quest for a house begins.
