Four was honestly surprised how many people were here. It was his first big trip, and it was definitely overwhelming. He was usually a loner, but he had to admit… he was thankful he’d asked a friend to come along.
Legend laughed as he texted someone, face glowing with glee. He elbowed Four mischievously. “We should definitely send pictures to Wars.”
“Is that who you’re texting?” Four asked with a smile, enjoying the cheer from his usually grumpier friend. Legend adored education conferences - his friend was nothing if not a lover of learning and exploring new things.
“Oh absolutely,” Legend replied, showing his phone. “He’s upset because I went to the emergency medicine conference and then went to this one. Personally, I think he’s just jealous because I have a cert he doesn’t.”
“Wait, Wars doesn’t have his CCRN?” Four questioned, confused. He figured Warriors, who had everything in his life in order, would have his critical care nursing certification. It was fairly common for nurses in ICU and ED settings.
“Nope!” Legend quipped with delight, obviously ecstatic that he had something over the military nurse.
“Okay, but important question: where are we going to get dinner?”
“Somewhere it doesn’t cost half our paycheck.”
Four glanced around at the skyscrapers. “Uh… not sure we’re going to manage that. I didn’t think the Hebra Mountains had cities like this.”
“Well, then we can contemplate Brugada Syndrome and complicated EKG rhythms while we starve,” Legend supposed.
“Oh, don’t be like that,” Four laughed. “This is a trip, we shouldn’t worry about the cost too much.”
”We don’t make Time’s salary.”
“But we make decent salary.”
Legend bit his lips, stubborn. Four narrowed his eyes analytically. “This isn’t about how much the food costs; it’s because you’ve blown your budget on coffee, isn’t it?”
His friend immediately flushed, guilty as charged. “They charge ten rupees for coffee! Ten!! This place is ridiculous!”
“I told you your caffeine addiction would come back to bite you someday,” Four smiled. “Or, well, more so than it already has.”
“I swear, if you bring up the SVT episode one more time—”

Listen, despite some questionable decisions and statements I don't complete support, I have full trust in the government cause I think it would be waaaay worst if you don't. So I always try to understand the reasoning.
BUT INCREASING THE SEMESTER PRICE WHILE COMPLETLY CUTTING PUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR STUDENTS WHILE CLAIMING YOU WANNA HELP THE YOUTH AND MAKE BUSSES AND TRAINS MORE ATTRACTIVE IS THE MOST STUPIDEST DECISION I'VE EVER HEARD OF

i've always read it's better to focus your energy on one cause to avoid burn out and make a real difference, and if i ever have the time my cause is going to be urban farming
it's fucking ridiculous that it is illegal anywhere for people to own chickens/ducks/turkeys or garden in their front yards, and not just folks that own their own homes, it should be legal for renters too, no landlord should be able to say, yeah no raising chickens and no gardening
if the government actually gave a flying fuck about us they'd make this the first thing they do, but guess what? All the decision makers are owned by the companies that own the mega-farms and the companies that make 'food'
fuck the government and grow some shit
