[ feed cuts on to kanaya sitting at a desk in her room. her eyes are closed and lips pursed with her thumb and forefinger pinched above them, not parting very widely when she speaks, as if she's under some discomfort.

toothaches are awful. growing your fangs back in over the course of a day is worse. ]

This is likely already common knowledge to any who are familiar with him, but at this point I think it would be safe to conclude that Ron Weasley has returned home. To any who were closely acquainted with him, you have my condolences.

[ she winces and reaches offscreen to grab a glass of water, hands over her mouth as she holds a gulp over her front teeth a few moments before swallowing. why did she have to do this now? this was a mistake, she should have known better. ] Excuse me. [ she pulls her purse onto her lap and starts digging around in it for a bottle of painkillers. ]

So, unfortunately, this renders mine the primary income to a household of six, which may necessitate an expansion of that. This season does tend to create a greater need with the increases in consumption that the holidays bring with them, so I may have a fair amount of options that won't use my age as an obstacle. Assuming I can balance my schedule between that and my education...or maybe I'll simply need to drop that one.

[ she finally finds the pills and drops two in her hand. ] Of course, if any of you require an augmentation to your wardrobe for season functions, my services are always available for an appropriate fee.

[ the video ends as she pops some advil. ]

Okay But
How
This Isnt Something You Simply Just Look At With The Highest Degree Of Sympathy You Can Manage And Expect To Be Solved

( video, )

[uhhh]

Kanaya... do you need help, with the appropriation of money for upkeep of this place, or, with anything else? You don't have to do it by yourself.

( video, )

[glowsferatu]

Well, I shouldn't like to force you to seek employment yourself...much as it may help if you did.

[invisibly]

You're not going to drop out of school!

[glowsferatu]

Well, I'm...not entirely sold on the idea myself, and certainly wouldn't prefer to. But if that should become necessary to ensure that our livelihood isn't under threat, I'm afraid I'll have little other choice.

[aggressiveapathy]

Aren't you, like. A legit creature of the night or a kinky cult member or something?

[glowsferatu]

I'm more intrinsically aligned to the day than any other period, actually, and I do not abide cults. What gave you that impression?

[voice]

[longbowhunter]

... Now you know you gotta stay in school, kiddo.

[voice]

[glowsferatu]

I know it's important and I'm certainly not going to make a decision like that lightly, but at the moment I'm simply keeping all of my options in mind.

Voice;

[themisfit]

You should not have to leave school, Kanaya, and I am not only saying that because it is my job to do so. I will certainly help your situation in any way that I can. There are options to consider.

Voice;

[glowsferatu]

And I am trying to consider them, of course. Did you have any particular recommendations?

Is money really that big of a purroblem? [pictured: Aware Of How Currency Works But Not Really That Bothered By It. it's fun to play with until she wants something she can't afford and then fuck that shit]

I can help out with that, if you want! I've got purrlenty of free time fur it.

[glowsferatu]

Well, we have living expenses to be maintained, as well as our less vital amenities. With fewer funds, our purchasing power is lessened, and with it the quality of what we are able to afford drops.

I've had it suggested that you may be able to offer your services as an exterminator. The important thing with that is you would have to withhold yourself until the client agreed to pay, unless you were making a demonstration to persuade them.

Well I Wouldnt Like To Force Anyone
You Have Been Here Long Enough To Have A General Feel For The City
Do You Think You Would Be Able To Make A Productive Employee Of Yourself Somewhere

I can't think of anything to suggest right now, but if I hear about any good opportunities, I'll let you know right away.

...sorry if this is a little random, but if someone wanted to send a gift to you, where should they send it? I was asked.

Im Considering A Scouting Tour Of A Few Retail Boutiques Tomorrow
I Could Make Of Myself A Perfectly Adequate Merchandising Clerk I Think
Assuming I Could Schedule It Around My Current Job And My Schoolfeeding

If you need assistance, I would be happy to ask the Mayor if we have any open positions within City Hall that need to be filled.

[glowsferatu]

What Kind Of Work Would That Involve Exactly
Im Sure I Could Adapt To It Of Course
Actually I Have A Friend Who Is Employed There Already Perhaps I Should Ask Him

[undead_ladykiller]

I hope that by now you've been properly dissuaded of the idea of leaving your education.

voice;

[glowsferatu]

Well, I've certainly been instructed to disregard that as an option. Though taking on a second job won't be as easy this way. I suppose there are weekends, but that won't bolster our income as much as I would like.

[ The girl on the screen looks like she's in a good mood! She's all dressed up in magical girl garb, with her spear over one shoulder. ]

You're being dumb, y'know.

You should just steal the money!

video;

[glowsferatu]

I could do that if I suddenly decided to become an idiot, certainly! And what would become of the person I'd decided to steal it from?

I Hadnt Said That I Undoubtedly Would
Im Simply Not Dismissing The Option If It Should Become Necessary
Ive Been At It This Long Already And Its Certainly Added To My Knowledge Of Your Planet Immensely
But If It Ultimately Stands In The Way Of Our Livelihood Well
What Else Will I Be Able To Do

unimpressed voice

[somethinglawful]

Kanaya. Don't you think you're being a little dramatic about this money stuff?...It's not like we can't all pitch in.

fatigued voice

[glowsferatu]

You can, it's true. But that doesn't mean you should have to.
