[Jen's had a rough few days, and can be found easily enough-usually slumped over books on various weapons systems, or booklets of accounting figures. ]
Well, looks like the balances work out now...those were nice apartments, though...Still need to figure out how I'm going to pack more power into that tiny robot. And I could really deal with more money, too...
[She pours herself a clear, strong-smelling drink from a bottle; notably, it has a "95.6% ABV" label. Jen's glass is more like the kind you would use for drinking beer, but she takes a drink from her glass anyways. And then immediately makes a face.]
...This tastes terrible.
2.[Gym practice time! Which for Jen means boxing, her fists moving in a blur as they strike at the sandbag. Meanwhile, some weird mix of pop-idol singing and metal instrumental work blares from a stereo.]
Hm. For a crazed terrorist, she's not that bad at singing...

[Sielje has been lured in by unfamiliar words and actions. She looks around curiously, but is forced to take a step back as soon as she smells the drink.]
Ah! What is this, is it poison? Is it poison you drink, Jen?

[Jen drinks a few more swallows of it, anyways.]
Anyways, I just finished working out my budget for the next month, so now I'm doing some reading on weapons systems I could try to make for Cethlenn. It's harder than I thought...

The downside is that it categorizes alcohol as a poison, so the only way I can get even remotely drunk is with this stuff. Caffeine, too...

[And just like that, the explanation is accepted without even a blink from Sielje's side. Except...]
... Alcohol?

...Anyways, It's the only alcohol that has any sort of effect anymore. I probably wouldn't get sick until I downed six or seven bottles of it.

...Well, I thought I was immune too, but if I drink enough alcohol fast enough, it'll get me drunk...for a little bit. I wasn't much of a drinker before, so that much is fine.
I'd probably have better results-per-price with industrial alcohols, but...That doesn't seem wise. It's more of a secondary vice, anyways.

...Wait, hold up. Where do you get those Knight Arms from? If there's no farming, then everyone's spending most of their life just trying to get enough to eat, right? How would you have time to make a giant robot?

Jen. That is... one of the most horrible... songs I have ever... heard!
And I've had a pitiful excuse for... a bard come up with a song about... my buttocks... on the spot!

On Earth, most spent their lives just producing enough food for everyone, yes? On Ankaia it is different. Food is no concern so we can pursuit other paths of life.
