Uhn....

[ A long pause. Hesitating, hesitating... ]

I have been working at the ice cream shop for awhile now but- [ His voice turns sheepish, clueless even before getting the nerve to continue. ] -but for some reason the money in my tip bottle keeps disappearing. I'm not sure why, and I'm not blaming anyone but-

[ Yup, how about another pause? ]

[ ……………………….Figures Vent would misplace his tips. ]

If you can’t keep track of something as simple as money… [ Because, ya’know, it doesn’t move on its own. ] …then maybe you aren’t ready for a pet.

[sleeping_charm]

What- of course I'm ready for a pet! [ A small huff. If only you could see the look on his face~ ]

I have been looking out for my tips ever since they first got stolen! But... I'd turn around to do something for just a second and bam-! They're gone! It's really weird...

[pants_notdress]

[ Terra doesn’t believe yoooooou. Smiles faintly at that small huff though. ]

What are you going to do when you lose your pet too? [ Pause - but uh, stolen? Hrm. ]

You should have moved your tips. Kept them on you instead of letting them out of your sight.

[ lecturelecturelecture. ]

[sleeping_charm]

[ VENT DOESN'T LIE! You must believe hiiim. So in the meantime, he's just going to pout more. ]

Who said I was going to lose my pet? I'm going to take really good care of it!

[ A pause. Ah-- he probably should of thought of that, huh? ] Well... well I didn't know it was going to happen again!

[ Not the lectures! D: ]

audio;;

[pants_notdress]

[ ……True. Which means Terra will be sighing right about here. ]

You probably would. [ Take good care of it he means. But then again…he isn’t sure Vent has the attention span for it. ]

Mm. You need to evaluate all possibilities of a situation and expect even the most unlikely to happen.

[ ………lecturelecturemore. THIS IS A LIFE LESSON VENT, PAY ATTENTION. ]

audio;;

[sleeping_charm]

Of course I would! You're not doubting me are you? I know I can do a good job! [ He may not have the attention span for it, but this is why he has Terrah for a friend!

....And now he is going to be the one who sighs. ] Yeah yeah, I get that now! But what am I suppose to do now that it's missing?

[ HE IS PAYING ATTENTION...kinda. ]

audio;; /edits forever.

[pants_notdress]

[ Well Vent seems determined enough. So. ]

I know you can and will do a good job too. [ There you go Vent, Terrah’s approval. But hey, Terra doesn’t want to end up pet-sitting. B| ]

Unless you have a clue of who took it, you’re going to have to save up your tips again until you have enough for your pet.

[ That money is long gone Vent - IT’S THE HARSH REALITY OF LIFE. ]

audio;; /peeets ♥

[sleeping_charm]

Heh, thanks Terra! [ Yay for approval! :D ...And you know he's going to end up doing that anyways. That's what you get for being his BFF. ]

But- [ Can you hear the whimper in his voice, Terrah? ] --but that'll take forever! I won't get a pet at this rate...

audio;; /peeeeetted. oUo! GAWD ANOTHER EDIT.

[pants_notdress]

[ …Role as BFF? Maybe Terrah really should replace Vent with that bunny then.

And omg he can so hear it. Frowns - aw Vent, Terrah hates hearing you sound so…defeated. ]

…………………………Hm. [ ….Well it’s not like he uses his money on much of anything. He could probably spare a bit.

Sigh. ] How much does a pet cost?

audio;; AHAHAA!

[sleeping_charm]

[ HE WOULDN'T DO THAT. Cause Vent is the bestest BFF eva!

Vent: 10 Terrah: 0 ]

I'm not sure. I haven't even gone to the pet shop yet. [ Ven's not going to admit he didn't want to go alone, so he'll just leave it at that. ]

audio;; GET OUT. D:<

[pants_notdress]

[ …..Fine! He wouldn’t but only because Terrah doesn’t like upsetting Vent.

And be quiet B| ]

Can’t be too much… [ Excuse him, he’s just mumbling to himself, trying to figure this out. And just a few more moments before…ah, here we go. ] I can go with you now if you’d like. [ Pauses and there’s some slight shifting on his end. ] Then we can see about getting you a pet.

audio;; NEVA GUNNA STAY GOODBYEEE.

[sleeping_charm]

[ Because we all know upsetting Vent is a very bad thing.

Vent: 11 Terrah: 0 ]

What? [ Ven waits patiently during the long pause. Brow raised and a little eager to find out what the other was talking about.

AGINGHLDNHLS ]

Uwaah- you'd do that!? [ Well, of course he would but the ultimate shock of it all threw him off a bit. He's chuckling now- bright, cheery, and so excited. ] Really? Right now? Seriously!?

audio;; I SAID GET OUT! /SHOVES OUT AND LOCKS THE DOOR BEHIND YOU.

[pants_notdress]

[ kasdjfhkjrdf Stop with that blasted counting!

Smiles - though winces a bit at the high pitch of Ven’s enthusiasm - and even joins in with a quiet chuckle of his own. ]

Seriously. [ Grins around the word, laughing lightly again. Guess it does seem kind of backwards for him to reward Ven for losing his tip money…but… ] So do you want to?

audio;; OMG NOOO. D8 /KNOCKKNOCK.

[sleeping_charm]

[ Haha, trying to spell my name~ NEVA. ]

Yeah! Of course I do! [ Terrah always knew how to cheer the lil' guy up. The radio joggles from Ven bouncing now, static fading in and out. ] So where are you?

audio;; /IGNORES THE KNOCKS.

[pants_notdress]

[ QUIET. B| ]

My apartment. [ This is before the bum has a job, so yey for slacking off at home. Pauses though and hey, he wants some of that question action too. ] But where are you? [ Because... ] I’ll come to you.
