[ Sumeru is just UC Davis... ]

We'd probably benefit from people actually wanting to learn that much. Sure, a couple of smarties here and there, but a majority get overlooked.

Don't have the kind of money or access to get to go to university.

[That's fair. Even the Akademiya isn't free; he knows all too well about the challenges of money, and how fortunate he'd been.]

If they get the chance, tell them not to go into architecture.

[Kaveh loves his job.]

[crucifer]

Well, don't go into insurance, then.

[ Wolfwood doesn't even do insurance. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[HELP this is so funny. Kaveh doesn't even understand what Wolfwood's referencing, but he shudders, his entire energy very abruptly souring.]

Believe me, I won't. [Gee Kaveh a little touchy about money are we]

[crucifer]

Oh, someone's had a bad run-in.

[ Spill the tea sis. ]

[There's--an oddly complicated spike of emotion: fear, first, bright and powerful, followed by shame--then anger, though it quickly melts into a softer, resigned sort of disgruntlement.]

I just--do a lot of work with investors, that's all. There's no shortage of ways a project can go wrong, but monetary issues are some of the most common. It's a nightmare to work with, sometimes.

[And sure, Sumeru may be more socialist than anything else--but that doesn't mean there's no greed or wealth inequality. It's especially grating to someone like Kaveh, who is incapable of holding onto anything if someone else could use it more.]

[ Wow, okay. Sorry for asking. ]

I don't usually deal in enough money to get into those level of concerns. It does sound like a pretty big pain in the ass, though.

Remember the insurance girls were in town once for a statue insured for five billion double dollars. The hell do you do with that kind of money?

[ Spoiler alert, the statue got fucked. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Sometimes... you are emotional and also (static noises)

At least that distracts him, though, his brow furrowing.]

The--what? [Insurance girls? Statue?? BILLION DOUBLE DOLLARS?????]

[crucifer]

It was in some town we passed by, built by an idiot with a bunch of stolen cash he'd taken twenty-ish years ago according to my employer at the time. Huge ego move, building a giant golden statue of yourself. And then just a stupid, paranoid move on top of that to get it insured for five billion.

[ He did say double dollars yes you did not mishear him. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[The way Kaveh is just looking so offended right now]

Wait--of himself? With stolen money?!

[crucifer]

Yep.

[ Isn't the world of Trigun so funny? Although Badlands Rumble is more '98 continuity, Hei and I agreed to include the general gist of it into our TriMax timeline. So it's canon knowledge now. ]

[This is so funny I support you

Meanwhile Kaveh is now enemies with this man he's never met]

I can't stand rich people.
