[dang it]

Hm... well, I suppose we don't have many other options for ingredients...

[powerplay]

I want more places for food... like a convenience store.

[ Good luck getting THAT in fake Italy, though. They don't even have any money. ]

Maybe if I go out farther into the woods, there'll be bigger animals to bring back...

[allyship]

Ah, yes. You hunt your own food, correct?

[powerplay]

I used to, I guess. Back when I was on my own. Ever since I got caught and went to the city, someone usually fed me though. And sometimes got to buy my own food when I was allowed to go out.

They're both pretty good, I think. Cooked food tastes great!

[allyship]

... You got caught? What?

[powerplay]

I was captured by Makima and drafted into the Public Safety Commission. Either I worked with them, or they kill me since I was a rogue devil.

[ She doesn't seem all that bothered by it, though. ]

I suppose it's not so bad, having food, a place to stay for me and my cat, and whatnot.

[allyship]

[???????]

... Well, food, shelter, and safety are one's basic needs. If those are met, then it's entirely possible to live a content life.

[powerplay]

I won't be content until I have all of humanity under my rule!

[ Though, really, would that make her 'content'? Who knows. ]

But it's a pretty good start I guess! Are you living a content life?

[allyship]

[ignores her question]

Until... what?

[powerplay]

[ Wow release your angst Rocha. Live happy. ]

Until I have all of humanity under my rule! Like, maybe by becoming president?

[allyship]

[he has in fact released his angst and achieved a state of zen, it's fine]

So you... want to lead a country?

[horrifying thought.]

[powerplay]

No, not really. [ God, horrifying thought, thanks. ] I don't want to be in charge of dumb human nor devils.

But I think if I'm president, that'd be cool.

[ What ]

[allyship]

... So you want to be leader but not actually lead.

[powerplay]

Yeah!

[ It's really in conversations like these where her most childish traits really shine through. ]

Being president means I have power! To do things!

[allyship]

Things. Please, do elaborate.

[powerplay]

Raise sales taxes to one hundred percent. Change the rules so that manga books have to be sold one chapter at a time. Turn picking up after your dogs into a non-fineable offense.

[allyship]

[what does half of this even mean]

Manga books...?

[powerplay]

[ She can keep going. Which is the true unfortunate part. ]

A manga book is a cool picture book with lots of violence and explosions.

[ No ]

[allyship]

... Ah, yes. I now understand their appeal to you.

[powerplay]

It's pretty fascinating! You're like that tall guy [ that sweats a lot ], not knowing what a manga book is. Do you not know what a TV is either?

[allyship]

I've been educated on them. Those blocks meant to display images, correct?

[powerplay]

Even a phone could do that! A TV shows moving pictures! And sounds! And lots of commercials.

[allyship]

It does sound fascinating... though unfortunately, the TV wasn't quite functional. [a beat] What are commercials?

[powerplay]

'Tis a funny thing where they make an advertisement to sell stuff specifically to interrupt your programs.

[allyship]

... Annoying people seems counterproductive to marketing their wares?
