[Sorry for the crisis of conscience there, Accelerator.]
uh well ive already been doing a little low level stuff muggers and stuff like that
but I joined the alliance so im sure theyre going to expect me to do something soon
Donnie I dunno I won't make him if he doesn't want to but he likes busting up bad guys too but right now we're keeping him on the downlow he skipped out on the initial guild registration and im good keeping it that way
[Leo came here too injured to dodge the guilds' notice, and he signed up out of simple necessity. But Donnie was able to evade them, and Leo gets enough in his stipend that he can keep both of them fed. Hiding out from the authorities isn't new to them, so if Donnie wants to stay unregistered... well, Leo doesn't think that's a bad idea.]
[Can he just go back to bed? Crawl under the covers and sleep until a freak Confluence incident sends him home?]
That's probably the best you can do, huh? It's bullshit how few options minors have here, but if you can both survive off of one guild stipend then there's no need for him to register.
yeah theyre good at that let me know if you figure something out because if fantastic ends up taking over the alliance I may be jumping ship
[This is an empty threat but only because he doesn't like starving to death. Though now that Donnie's here maybe he can just hack some jerk billionaire's crypto wallet.]

Well, that's better than being totally screwed, I guess.

this world sees a lot of villains anyway so at least it’s not coming down to one family

He should really say something.
He should really, really something.]
Yeah. This place is infested with those assholes.
[That is not the thing he should have said.]
Are either of you planning on doing any heroing here?
[That is really not the thing he should have said.]

[Fuck the whole guild system, for real.]

my roommate
but yeah this world just does the bare minimum huh?
even though it’s not our fault we ended up here
no subject
[The insinuation, in his mind, is there are two guild stipends for three people.]
They don't give a shit about anyone's situation. They aren't above scummy coercion tactics, either.
In fact, I was talking to someone registered with the Alliance, and he told me not to sign up. No hesitation whatsoever.
no subject
wow
a ringing endorsement
what are you gonna do?
supposedly they'll arrest you if you don't sign up
or at least make your life really difficult
[It's why he'd rather they just not know Donnie exists in the first place.]
no subject
Of course Accelerator being who he is can't just say that. No sir, gotta act like this is just an inconvenience.]
I'll figure something out. They're already making my life fucking difficult, so that won't be anything new.

I will. If there's a better option out there it might be worthwhile jumping ship regardless.
no subject
yeah good point
I can keep an ear out too
no subject
Alright.
[... He has no hope they'll find a good alternative.]
