word game: money

[museaway]

This week's word is...
MONEY

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and we hope you'll pop back around later!)

A note about interacting: Writers supporting each other is important to me. If you object to leaving comments for another writer, then we are not for you. If you repeatedly ignore this rule, you will lose community membership.

My modern AU ATLA adoption fic:

Bato reaches for a notepad and a pen that is lying on the kitchen counter.

“I like it the old fashioned way. This is my shopping list, if you need anything just write it down, okay?”

She looks at the list that has already a few items written on it, “Okay, when am I supposed to go shopping? Before my classes or in the evenings?”

Bato shakes his head. “No, I will be doing the shopping, for you have no driving license yet and this stuff is usually heavy.”

“I see. Okay.” She looks at the list for a while in silence. “Sir?”

“Yes?”

“I – I don’t have money to pay for the room,” she admits. “And... and I will not have.”

For a long moment he looks at her and then he says, “Suki, you’ve just offered to do all the chores I usually do here.”

“But this is just a division of responsibilities which the rules of coexistence require. What I mean is that you will have higher bills for electricity, water, garbage collection fees... and others, while I’m living here.”

“I understand your concern. We will discuss it tomorrow, is that okay? I didn’t expect to have a roommate, so I have to think about it.”

That looks interesting!
