"This war never ended, did it? Not for us." // O/O // Closed

Winter blinked. "Oh. No, I haven't." He said, shaking his head and letting out a breath. "But it can't be that hard." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess we'll both see. Have any ideas of places that might let people like us work there?" Mycah looked at the road, which was curving down into a small valley.

"Uhh. No. Maybe I'll work in a slaughterhouse. I mean…that's the only place my skills would come in handy." He laughed a little.

"Yeah, you'd be good there." Mycah nodded, a grin on their face. "Me, however… if I could find a place that just paid me to hit targets from really far away, I'd be happy."

He smiled, laughing softly. "I don't want to work in a slaughterhouse, though." He said, shaking his head.

"Good. I wasn't going to say anything, but that doesn't seem like the best place to work." Mycah glanced over at Winter for a second. They were trying to think of places they could both work, but their mind had gone blank.

Winter chuckled softly. "Mhm." He replied, glancing in the rearview again. He stretched slowly.

Mycah kept driving. If they remembered it correctly, they were almost back to Sutoni. "Maybe we could look through the newspaper when we get back. Or go for a walk and see if anyone's hiring." They suggested.

Winter nodded a little bit. "Sounds like a plan." He replied. "Although we shouldn't apply for the same jobs. No need to compete with each other."

"Yeah," Mycah agreed, letting out a breath when the trees started to thin. The road rounded a bend and came out of the trees, revealing Sutoni. "Would you want to go for a walk when we get back or stay in for the rest of the day?"

Winter nodded slightly. "Either is fine. I probably should take a walk though; I have too much energy because of the demon." He said.

"A walk it is, then. Spending an entire day in that house doesn't sound that nice, anyways." Mycah pressed down on the gas slightly. "We might be able to find a locksmith for the door, too."

Winter nodded. "Although…we should try and figure out who really owns the place, and maybe later actually purchase it. That way we don't run into legal trouble because of that."

"Good idea." Mycah agreed. "Maybe we would have to do that with the car too at some point." The road spit them out onto a nicer road, and Mycah pressed down on the gas a little more. Driving so slow was making them a bit annoyed.

"Well…the car we should probably abandon sooner rather than later, just in case the owner comes looking." he replied. "I realize that we just robbed a bank, but we can't afford to take too many risks."

"Mmm." Mycah nodded. "Maybe that could be one of our first purchases with our new money?" The first houses started passing by the car, and Mycah tried to remember the way to their house. "Where should we leave the car?"

Winter frowned a little bit. "I'd say the outskirts of town, nowhere near our house." He replied slowly. "We don't want anything to point at us."

"Here should be good, then." Mycah decided, pulling onto the side of the road. They hadn't seen any signs saying they couldn't part there, and it was pretty far away from their house.

Winter nodded a little bit. "Alright." He replied simply. He grabbed the backpack and all traces of them, putting them away.

Mycah turned the car off, wondering what they should do about the bag full of money. "Do you think this," they gestured at the bag, "would be safer in the car or in the house? Or somewhere else?"

"I think…in the house." He replied. "They'll eventually find the car, and we don't want them to get the money when they do."

"Alright." Mycah grabbed the bag and stuffed it into their backpack, then slung the backpack over their shoulder. They opened the door and got out. "We'll make a stop there at some point."

Winter nodded, and got out of the car. "Alright. Let's go." He said, taking a deep breath. "And we'll need jobs, food, and bedding. That's our immediate focus."

"Agreed." Mycah started walking down the road, hoping they could find the way to the house. As they walked, Mycah was checking around, seeing if there were any places they might stop at and if anyone was looking at them weirdly.

Winter walked beside Mycah, looking around. "Our top priority should be food, jobs, and bedding, mostly in that order."

"Hmm." Mycah nodded. "We should probably stop at a supermarket sometime today, then. Eating out every single day will drain our money a lot." They glanced around, then turned down a street to head towards the house. "Do you remember if anything in the kitchen was working?"

Winter looked over. "I didn't test them." he replied with a shrug. "But we can test them when we get back to the house." he smiled a little bit.

"If they don't work, we might need to invest in either repair or just getting some mini ones from the store," Mycah said, looking over at him. They were almost to the house, and Mycah was itching to get rid of the big bulk of the money. It was making them a bit nervous to be having so much with them.

Winter sighed softly. "Yeah. We have a lot of stuff we might need to purchase. Right now we need to figure out the most important things."

"We should make a list when we get back to the house," Mycah decided, spotting the house and heaving a small sigh of relief. "Most important to least important."
