Description Only one more day. Yay, now I won't have to got to the library anymore. Walking there with all my art stuff really sucks.

Not many people hire detectives, so Joe and Dan are usually short on cash. This caused them to get really behind on their rent, which drives their landlady up the wall. They try to avoid her, but sometimes she manages to catch them.

Dan: Oh howdy there, Marisa! What brings you here?
Marisa: What do you mean, 'what brings me here?!' I own this building, you idiot! I'm the one who should be asking questions. Where's my money?
Dan: Wellllll...
Marisa: Given that you both tried to run away from me, I'm guessing that you still don't have it.
Dan: Eheheh... Joe, you slacker! If only you were as in shape as I am, this wouldn't have happened!
Joe: Well if you managed our finances better, we wouldn't have to run away. Did we really need to buy that game console?
Dan: Reckon course! That computer we've got is too ancient to play anything, and it's cheaper than going to the arcade.
Marisa: Instead of playing games, you should be paying your rent! You're three months behind!
Dan: Golly, has it been that long already?
Marisa: Since we used to play ball together, I'll give you until next week. If you don't pay by then, I'm evicting you.
Dan: Wha-! Can't we pay you back some other way? Like, y'know-
Joe: No.

Yeah, they did! Dan was really insistent on getting it, Joe's not much for technology. I haven't been to many arcades because when I was growing up consoles were the big thing, but I do love going to them! They're really expensive nowadays though, I miss the 25 cent and 50 cent games.

Haha! Those are some interesting suggestions. I don't think there'd be any takers for the first two though, lol. Dan would be the one to sell his kidneys though, haha.

Joe and Dan actually have some side jobs to make money too. Joe's a photographer, and Dan works as an umpire on occasion. Really they've got no reason to be so behind on their rent besides poor money management, lol.

Aah, so it all goes down to Dan and his amazing accounting skills!!

I wish they could bring their loot back to their world after their mission!

That's the plan! Once they finish their quest, they'll bring the money back to their own world to pay off their rent. But given how long they took to pay it, the interest will probably equal the cost of what they earned.

Aww mann!! Then all that hard work would be for nothing! Well at least they've helped somebody. Ahh, the poor fate of these two gentlemen. I'd love to see them swimming in a pool of money. I can only dream.
