[ordimame]

[he absolutely did not, but thanks anyway, Hien]

Did you see any other large and prominent hotels around here?

[selfconcept]

"No."

[ Just casually answers this. ]

"This gives me an idea though..."

[ordimame]

[dubious side-eye]

What is it?

[selfconcept]

"Be right back."

[ And then Hien just fuckin

opens the door Edamura just closed and goes in it, closing the door behind him. No subtlety whatsoever. ]

[ordimame]

HIEN!!

[what the fuck! Edamura is going to follow him!! yes he knows what he is getting himself into, and he is as red as a tomato as he flings the door open, but Hien please!!]

[selfconcept]

[ The faceless people are having so much sex on the bed, which Hien ignores as if they're not even there.

Then he looks through the room. Hm. ]

[ordimame]

[oh my god. they are having so much sex. they are having sex as if Hien and Edamura aren't even here. speaking of the latter, he makes a sort of semi-strangled noise as he forcibly tears his gaze away from the scene on the bed, turning his focus entirely on Hien as he pokes around the room]

What are you doing?! We shouldn't be in here!

[he hisses in a sharp whisper. as if he needs to be quiet]

[selfconcept]

"Money."

[ He is stealing from the faceless masses. Literally. ]

[ordimame]

[FUCK!!! literally the only thing that could get gambling addict Edamura to pause]

[. . .]

Fine.

But we're splitting whatever you find.

[selfconcept]

[ Hien nods as if this is a no brainer. He will always share despite his greed. His greed is for something else, not materialistic things. ]

"Go wait outside before your blood pressure blows up."

[ordimame]

[glances back over to the figures on the bed. . .]

. . . at least they're having fun.

[anyway! time to leave. maybe he should stay and help Hien look for money but he got permission to dip so he is out]

[selfconcept]

[ peace out

Hien eventually returns. He is now out of the room. ]

"There was nothing there... no coins, no paper... nothing..."

[ordimame]

Seriously? Man. What a waste.

[I assure you he would not be saying that under normal circumstances]

[selfconcept]

"I'm gonna go look through the other rooms--"

[ someone stop him ]

[ordimame]

Hien-- we don't have time to loot every single room!

[grabbing at the back of his shirt]

[selfconcept]

"But we have time for some..."

[ ack... he'll just get dragged if that's what edamura is gonna do ]

[ordimame]

[denied. down the hallway we go, mister. we are finding a way out of this debt collector-ridden place]

[isdf]

. . . Were you trying to steal?

[selfconcept]

"Yeah..."

[ Just says it ]

[isdf]

You mustn't steal, Hien. There are other ways to build capital.

[selfconcept]

"Are they even real people..."

[ ................. ]

"I guess they sound like real people at least."

[isdf]

[How many people has Hien listened in on in this context to say that so confidently?]

Even if they aren't real, it is still a matter of morals. Furthermore, it's rude to simply barge into and search a private room.

[selfconcept]

[ It's not his fault that they're so loud. ]

"Yuma, I thought it was as plain as day since the first time I met you that I don't care about morals if it benefits me."

[isdf]

Can they be called morals if they aren't fixed?
