Fourth Contract/Is there a Doctor in the house?

[1]

[After the mission to rescue Tron Bonne, Ryou is laid up in the infirmary. Being tossed around from a massive impact and then suffering a 50 meter drop in an Armored Core is not a good thing for a human body. Right now the Mercenary is resting. Taking calming breaths every so often, he seemed to actually be taking it easy.]

-DEET! DEET! DEET!-

-NOTIFICATION. RAVEN. YOU HAVE... 79. NEW. MESSAGES. FROM... EVANGEL.-

[You then see him swat wildly at the now online holographic console he always carries around.]

Ergh... too fucking soon for this shit....

[He's looking at his finances... and it's a grim picture. Aquiring any loot from the mission he went on was a bust. Silencing the rioters and their poison gas plot barely gave him enough money to scrape by after splitting the cash... but NOW he barely even has anything left to his name aside from his AC and its other parts.]

[He sighs in an agitated manner as he presses his head a little harder against his pillow. Looking seriously disgruntled. There is honestly no way that this could get worse.]

Heh well looks like the whole flock's here...

Business treating you two better than me then?

[i_like_shades]

At this point being in a hospital bed is a blessing. Keeps you from going further down under...

[He stares at Naiza...]

Or you could do it like that and slack off through the entire ordeal...

[She stares back and puts her hands on her hips.]

Look, I'm not here to help these people out.

If a job doesn't pay enough for the trouble, I don't take it.

[lastfeather]

Heh, well there's that part I guess... kinda like a holiday considering the stuff we usually go through.

[Ryou chuckles before regarding Naiza.]

And you know... beggars can't be choosers.

[desiredstrength]

Beggars save what they can scavenge. I'm not taking unnecessary risks around this lot, and you know they've tried to bar me from half of the available client requests.

When I see them offering something worth my time and effort, I'll go for it.

[i_like_shades]

Good idea. I'm taking a break while I'm still somewhat ahead.

[Colossus scrap metal worth quite a bit.]
