Astariel

Mount Ruthmore?

“It’s one frozen banana, Ruth. What could it cost? Ten dollars??”

Astariel

I wonder if Carla's asking this because she expects to be cut off or because she's planning to cut herself off? Cause I didn't get the vibe of the former from how that conversation with her parents ended.

"Carla... How much does a loaf of bread cost?"

Buy a girl a drink first

@Astariel: Well, we know Carla wouldn't be interested in *that*

jafortee

Carla’s got good parents that’re bad people. It sounds like she’s trying to cut herself off.

SOMETIMES CUTE GIRLS HAVE TO DO SHITTY BORING WORK CARLA IT'S REAL FUCKED UP

“With or without the caviar?”

Except your parents aren’t there and a version of the worst teacher you ever had is there and they’re called your boss, but not because you can do a sicknasty move and take down half their health bar, rather because they own you. You are their property.

...hey, tell you what. I just realized I have nothing nice to say to y'all about this. I know that makes me the problem; I see you're both trying. So, I'm gonna wish you both the best, here, and see myself out.

Carla continues to discover the real world. Ruth discovers she's not into tall girls.

@jafortee "...if they feel like it."

@Tessea ...or is she? (I'd be surprised if Ruth was into Carla, regardless. I suspect that would feel like some kind of extended internship for the both of them)

Astariel

Yeah, you're probably right. Her urgency just made me think that she was worried about something happening on a timeline she wasn't in control of.

Tessea

Good point. I'll amend it to 'Pushy tall girls'. :D

@S-K Apt. I refuse to "like" that description, but I can't let it go by without acknowledging the craftsmanship.

Going88

Carla, no, stop smiling. You gotta "Ruth, I'm moving in, now >:(" and then I dunno. Punch her?

Zesstra

Patent seller, I'm going into business, and I need your strongest patents.

KiasyonSFM

She's a rich girl, and she won't go far cuz she doesn't know what a job is anyway

Maude Reads Things

Ruthmore sounds like some tiny ass village up in Northern Ontario. I like it! And Carla honestly probably has several patents she can file so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Giving up your college shelter doesn’t actually help the people of Bulmeria, Carla. “That’s the slippery slope that leads straight to where my parents are now!”

Shane Wegner

My vibes were somewhere between Paramore and Macklemore.

Beck Chonigman

Yeah..... not exactly thrilled with this storyline. Like, you're not gonna magically be morally pure if you cut yourself off. That's stupid. Best you can do is actively get involved to change who's in charge to someone who will actually listen to you (and not call in the police) when you hold their feet to the fire. That means local government too. To the smallest level. Voting isn't marriage, it's public transit, you're not waiting for the prefect pure candidate, you're choosing the one that will get you closest to where you want to go. Purity tests do nothing except soothe the ego of assholes who don't want to accept civic responsibility of fucking paying attention. If you have the privilege of not being bogged down by needing to hustle to survive, then the worst thing you can do is purity testing a candidate. You want one that'll get you closer getting those struggling to survive out of that situation. Not pretending you're better or more moral for not engaging, which is what makes it harder to improve things bc you're actively fighting things getting worse. Fucking stupid.

ooh that's what she saying! i thought she was saying they're more than chums

Packy Anderson

I'm wondering what patents Carla has to sell.

Kelly (they-them)

Obviously we'd never see it, but I'm curious about Becky's specific finances. We know she inherited the house after her father's death and plans to sell it (/is selling it/plans to sell it). I wonder what other assets he left behind. I don't think most college students in America could, as a full time student, pay for their tuition, room, and board with just a part time job and no loans. Becky can probably get by tho
