"A bank machine," replies Carthrat. "I am officially poor, by the way."
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?

Rachel raises an eyebrow. "How poor? You aren't totally broke, are you?" she asks.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

"No. I've got the equivalent to $400 in my account right now," replies Carthrat. "That'll last us about a week."

"Well, then....we need to get some money to go further, correct?" she asks. "I did bring a few items that could be sold for money," she notes, "But I don't know if they'd be valuable here."

"We'll worry about that when we have to," replies Carthrat, looking around for the casino hotel area.

From the wall directory written in neon letters, the hotel is in the back, and to get to it you have to go through the gaming areas.

Bloody figures.

"Poorly designed plans. Bah," mutters Carthrat. "Come'on, Rach. Oh, resist the temptation to push buttons, and ignore anything anyone says. I hate these places," he says, pushing and shoving his way through the casino..

The two of you walk along, seeing games both familiar and foreign. A brewing pot of races bet on a multitude of games, from Earth Roulette to dozens of games that are from corners of the galaxy.  

Finally, you make it to the hotel. A cheap room with one bed and a couch will drain most of your funds for the week, not counting food.

Carthrat sighs, but pays up for the room anyway. "Now I'm even poorer. Dammit, I'm missing Earth already."

The room is a white walled affair with a large deal of unpolished metal that screams 'space slum'.  A single bed and couch promise that someone isn't going to sleep on a bed this week.

Once in the room, Rachel takes you up on your earlier comment. "It's easy for you to make money on Earth with your advanced knowledge, isn't it? That's no big deal out here?" she asks, making a small face on the side as she surveys the room.

"Well, before I came to Earth, I was a trader," replies Carthrat, shrugging. "It's a sight less complicated on Earth than it is out here."

"Mmmm," she says. "All the rooms aren't as barrenly metallic as this one, are they? It feels cold," she comments as she continues to inspect the room, down to the red couch. It's one of the few splashes of color here.

"No, this is just saving on luxury cash," replies Carthrat. "As I said, I'm poor and in desperate need of money."

As she sits down on the couch, shifting a few times on it, "Speaking of which...any plans yet?"

"There are three options," replies Carthrat.

"Firstly, I could try gambling. The odds are probably better than those in Vegas, I'm sure I would have a chance at fleecing a table in poker or Blackjack, as long as they're using real cards.

Or I could set up a scam. Hack into the mainframe and rig machines or just download money into my account.

And I suppose.. well.."

Carthrat looks edgy.

"There's always honest work."
