I just had to shoot twice in my new apartment. I hit her, but she didn't drop. Damn it.

Why didn't I have the forethought to start an insurance society? Honestly. This place could use one to deal with damage like Bernardelli dealt with (VASHTHESTAMPEDE).

Man, insurance is just one big scam anyway. A little caulk and plaster and the holes are gone like that. Simple as that.

Except when an entire city is in ruin.

.......... W-Well............ I mean, c'mon, the price for insurance to cover something like that'd be murder in of itself, wouldn't it?

[inyourbusiness]

Of course it is, but that's how insurance works. Say like you have two towns that pay you a payment every month or so, based on the agreements you contractually bind them to. So, this goes on for about five years without incident. During this time, you may believe the insurance society is becoming very, very rich. However, this money, in a reputable insurance society, is pooled. Therefore, if something happens to one of those two towns, they still have to pay a deductible to prevent the pool of money from going dry, but the insurance society still covers more than half the restoration bill.

It's essentially like a big savings account for a rainy day.

You tried to shoot something?

[inyourbusiness]

She was trying to take my scalp.

[solared]

Your scalp? Who- This was in your apartment?

[inyourbusiness]

She came through the wall.

That's a very good question. It depends on the type of insurance and number of clients, really. If the client payments outweigh the price the company pays for destruction (with adequate deductible for the situation), it certainly would.

[inyourbusiness]

Yes, and no. Understand, I come from a world where bad things happened all the time, and destruction of buildings and whole cities was hardly uncommon, and yet the company I worked for, while never pleased with having to pay for rebuilding destroyed whatevers, knew it was inevitable. One thing that they would rely on, here, is that a good portion of the damage is caused during curses and actually seems to mostly disappear with the curses' ends.

Holy water and lots of it. Get a spray bottle if you have to.

My priest refuses to bless anything for me.

[theotokos]

Alexander Anderson and Abel Nightroad would do it for you with no objections.

[inyourbusiness]

...who?

[inyourbusiness]

I need to just remember BULLETS DON'T KILL GHOSTS.
