I mean, it had been a couple thousand to have someone make and rig the model, but I did make a decent amount of money prior to that.

Couple thousand... what currency?

Dollars.

That still sounds expensive to me.

Yeah, but it basically pays for itself.

Do you just market yourself online, then?

Me? ah... kind of. I play games for a living and people donate money to me. I entertain them! and they enjoy hanging out with me during the livestreams, so in order to keep doing what I doing they throw money at me. It's the same as watching a TV show, but a little more interactive. And I also have a Patreon, which is basically a monthly donation pool, and the people a part of that can vote on games I play and other stuff.

Audience engagement, huh... I guess it's good we don't have to worry about that here.

Yeah. It can get real stressful, especially since that's how I made my money. How many people watched, how many people I could get to sub and donate, and if I could get sponsors. All of that.

Do people often donate?

Yeah, actually! We call those simps!

You know Hades on avante, right, that's what he is. I had a few back home, but I need one here, so I don't have to worry about points.

Ahhh, so that's your angle.

Haha, I mean, kinda. It's not the *only* thing I'm after.

Oh? Then what else are you looking for?

Some friends and stuff, you know, the usual. Isn't that what everybody's after?

That depends. Some people don't like making friends with people they might have to send to their deaths one day.

But everybody does it anyway. I don't think I've met one person that didn't have at least a few friends here. The killing games here wouldn't be so effective if nobody made friends, right?

Maybe from what you've seen, but I know some people who were pretty good at sticking to their units. Ahh, but maybe it's fallen out of fashion?

And which kind of person are you?

I make friends, but the only ones I can reliably save are our allies.

I like the way you think~!

It can't really be helped. But most of my friends have someone else they're closer to on another unit anyway, so it works out.

I don't know if I have anybody that would pick me. I try not to bring stuff like that up. Kind of... awkward, you know?

Ah, it's not something I bring up with people. But you can figure some things out if you pay attention.

...yeah. Kind of feels selfish to be like. Protect me first and foremost. I don't want to put someone in that kind of situation even if I... even if I want to. I don't want to be hurt or killed or... or anything like that...
