[The Pokegear snaps on, and Dick, in a nice waiter's shirt, slumps down against a wall and sighs.]

So this is, uh, ridiculously embarrassing.

[His hair's slicked back, too, and he's loosening a little bow tie with his other hand. Tugging at it with a little more force than strictly necessary.]

Exactly, um. Does anyone have any tips for how to... like, not go broke? How do people keep track of money? How do you not run out?

I plead lack of maturity, lack of understanding of the value of a... whatever the unit of currency is here, I don't even know.

And yeah, okay, if you all want a good laugh at my expense, my foster father is a billionaire, both through inheritance and being the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Go ahead, I've heard all the rich kid jokes and I don't really care, I'd just be grateful, in return, for a little--

[There's a voice yelling in the distance, something about not being paid to take breaks; Dick jumps up and shuts off the feed immediately. He does have a work ethic, okay, he was a circus performer until he was nine, but that money was all put in the bank.]

They learn it naturally. You've just gotta hold them off on evolving until they hit the 30's. Still, I'd say it's worth it for the free cash.

Seriously worth it. I'm wondering how it could possibly be legal tender if an animal materializes it, but I ultimately don't care. Gift horses and all that.
islandshore: (yeah right)

The legal system here's a heaping mess... along with everything else when you really think about it. I mean, they're letting little kids run around with super powered monsters that can spew fire hotter than the sun. That's a little alarming, don't you think?
islandshore: (unsure)

Problem is, I think they do just that. Whenever I bump into those kids on the routes, they're usually roughing it out on their own. You've got a few schools scattered in the towns, but otherwise it seems like they expect you to wing it.

[Not that it's hard in theory, long as you don't end up with a monster that's too violent for its own good. Sometimes that happens.]

Which just isn't right. Maybe it's my inner mathlete talking, but school's important, too. What kind of practical knowledge do you really have here?
