once again, I'm contemplating buying an island. not a large one or one with amenities like shelter. just....a beach. trees. equatorial climate.

do I have that kind of money? no.

am I going to let that stop me? also, no.

I might have to uh, figure out some funds, but I'd go halvesies with you.

[xp_blink]

you know....

if I buy the island and you build tiny houses and set it up to have basic living options... yeah, you've got a deal.

basics: solar power, internet access, water purification (indoor plumbing isn't required so long as there's reasonably easy access to fresh water), etc

[xp_hawkeye]

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the cables and stuff out to islands for internet access? That'd probably cost more than the island, honestly.

satellite?

[xp_submariner]

We fail to see the point of supporting a corrupt bureaucracy when conquest is on the table.

[xp_blink]

because I'm tired

[xp_submariner]

We have reasonable rates and are open for freelance.

[xp_hawkeye]

Why not just 'port to an uninhabited island in the middle of Nowhere, Ocean and plant a flag? Possession is 9/10ths of the law. We could be a sovereign nation. There's precedent!

[xp_submariner]

Taking land is the fun part, Archer. Have you never just wanted to let loose and have combatants cower at your fury?

[xp_hawkeye]

Not especially? I get that enough from bad guys? Why work so hard when you can just squat on an island no one cares about and no one's allowed to evict you?

[xp_magik]

that is what jaunts to limbo are for, majesty

[xp_blink]

I'll pay you in fish

[xp_angel]

Keep believing, boo. You got this. One day you can have 'fuck you' money like me

[xp_hawkeye]

What is it you think I did before I came to the mansion, boo?

[xp_blink]

I don't need fuck you money. I need a place where I can set things on fire without repercussions.

[xp_banshee]

There's always the quarry?

[xp_blink]

practical, but not tropical

[xp_magik]

how much does an island cost anyways, maybe i can get warren to write it off as a business expense

[xp_blink]

yes, but I want it to be my island, not his tax write off.

[xp_magik]

mm i guess. id offer an advance on my pay but like i do not make THAT much just alot

[xp_blink]

I've actually got a decent amount of savings and investments. I've worked here a while and technically don't have a ton of expenses. well. clothes. but I guess I can suffer for a minute if it means owning property

[xp_magik]

very fancy of you

[xp_blink]

right? like I'm a functional adult or something

[xp_magik]

im very impressed and only know what that means bc of my job

[xp_blink]

but you know. the next, is opening up a portfolio for yourself. I'm sure Warren has plenty of advisors if he can't advise you himself. take advantage now.

[xp_magik]

theres some sort of setup idk im still learning my way around a bank acct and having more than a fistful of rubles

[xp_blink]

it's a wild ride

[xp_magik]

is good i think get paid to make idiots cry and learn more about ruling

[xp_outlaw]

Will visitors be welcome on this island?

[xp_blink]

only if they're as sexy as you in a bikini

[xp_outlaw]

I like the sound of that test a lot, I'll even volunteer to give you some previews with and without to fine tune it.

[xp_blink]

oooh yes please!

[xp_outlaw]

Come and find me then. You know where I live, I'll be waiting for you.

[xp_blink]

thank God I'm off tonight

[xp_outlaw]

and thank God I'll be on you Yes, yes indeed, we'll be sure to thank her together, yeah?

[xp_blink]
