IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS

Brewster's Millions... At the Manhattan law office of Granville & Baxter, Brewster is told that his recently deceased great-uncle Rupert Horn, whom he has never met, has left him his entire $300 million fortune but only if he can complete a challenge with several conditions. Congratulations [CHARACTER NAME]! You've just been willed a large sum of money! There is a catch, though. In order to keep it, you have to spend part of it entirely away in a month. Nothing you spend the money on can still be in your possession at the end of the 30 days. You can't just give it away, either. That would be too easy! And when has a rich person and a team of lawyers ever made things easy? Post a comment with your character, canon, and any preferences. If you want, include who is giving you the cash and any extra rules for spending it. Tag around and help people spend all this money! Or work against them and try to steal it for yourself, whatever floats your new expensive boat.

Ooh! I am buying a cookie... and... socks... [ The rest he'll probably just give away. ]

[Even odds it's a peace offering from Hardestadt to buy some space for the Camarilla, and equally even odds that the mercurial Sascha will accept it, but she has to give 35% of it to non-Sabbat in a non-Sabbat controlled territory.

Cue quiet, inscrutable blinking over this paperwork.]

[acaseofyou]

If I'm honest, the whole setup sounds like an IRS trap. Like, a really expensive IRS trap.

[bodyguard]

That would be an extremely Ventrue revenge. There is never any gift in our society without a cost... save for those with exceptionally lucky sires or childer.

[She looks across and smiles faintly at Birdie.] What use have you for money? You have treasures no worldly wealth could ever hope to buy.

[acaseofyou]

Personally I like the favor barter system a lot better than money, but it has it's uses. Especially when it comes to moving around, or getting a new guitar.

[ She has simple wants and needs. ]

Are you looking for suggestions?

[bodyguard]

I will buy you a guitar. They do wear out and break over time. Or over the heads of police who break up venues. I understand.

Perhaps. I have been so long outside the world of commerce. I find it... [Slightly intimidating.] ...Confusing...

Why do you move so often?

[acaseofyou]

Oh, it's been a while since I've done anything like that. Pretty sure at this point it'd cause more trouble than the fun of it is worth.

The good news is there's lots of options for spending money. What are you allowed to spend on?

[ That question gets a pause, though, and Birdie considering how to phrase things. ] It's easier, in a lot of ways. I spend a lot of my time being seen by people that'll notice how little I age if I keep performing in one spot too long, so instead of trying to make excuses or whatever else, I just... Go somewhere new. Kinda like a neverending tour.

The cuties at the cat cafe down the street are going to get one hell of a sponsorship.

[cloths]

Good, that's the best way to spend so much money. Cats are adorable.

[ nodding sagely, BECAUSE SHE LOVES CATS ]

[hatician]

Hm. Buying out the whole city block would probably ruin the neighborhood somewhat but there's only so much renovation you can do to one cafe...

Any ideas?

[cloths]

You could finance an adoption program to help rehome cats or hire a full-time vet for the cafe?

You could also renovate your own shop.

[hatician]

That first one works.

Otherwise, pass on the second idea. I'm trying to instill a sense of humble upbringing in Ururu and Jinta.

[cloths]

I don't think 'a new coat of paint' for the roof counts as spoiling anyone. You need to be careful with the upkeep of a place like yours.

[ ...gin ]

[hatician]

Oh, something that small? I routinely change the shaders on the sides of the house every six months or so to maintain a constant cycle to ensure it stays the same color.

['Shaders'?]

It's built to last for a few more centuries with minimal care, too. [She was sure to have heard the heavy 'gong' noise the last time Yoruichi picked up a tatami to smash over his head during dinner.]

[cloths]

[ the 'shaders' what now? aren't those... no wait not curtains. honestly, gin can't tell from the few times she's been at the shop it is intended to be that durable... if anything she just thought the house would fall apart some enough under the elements. ]

I forget you're nearly immortal so, of course you would have taken all that into account. Are your children sort-of-immortal too?

[ ururu and jinta looked ordinary enough to her... ]

[hatician]

[Shutters with special digital shaders that he could change with his computer in the basement, of course..........

Kisuke blinked a few times, startled by the question.]

Oh. Well, I'd say I'm a strange case among soul reapers. On assignment, most would just buy an apartment and move around after a few years.

As for the children? Well, I suppose we'll have to see. I've absolutely no clue.

[And he was very happy for that.]

[cloths]

[ gin opens her mouth, closes it. surely a parent should know a little more about the growth cycles of their children??? does their mother know? where is their mother? does she even want to ask these questions?


no. the answer is no, not ever. ] You could open bank accounts for them, for their studies and any things they might need in future. If you're ever not... around or for emergencies. [ practical uses for a lot of money- her brother with his substantial salary has made a point of buying Expensive things. gin is more conservative in her approach but she doesn't earn as much. ]

[hatician]

[Blink blink. The way she was speaking to him....]

Gin, I have quite a few of those already set up.

[Not that he'd tell he about the additional weapons' cache they would inherit but Gin probably didn't mean that.

Did she think he was a negligent parent? It was only partially correct.]

[cloths]

[ gin looks surprised (frankly, weapons' cache wouldn't be that weird of a thing to have in store as part of an inheritance but she's not even thinking about that). ]

You're more responsible than I assumed.

[hatician]

[...]

Am I, now?

[Reaching over, he pinched Gin's nose.]

[cloths]

[ congratulations, urahara you ruined it.

gin goes from suspicious to surprised to reaction— she bypasses the urge to smack his wrist as if he were a threat and instead pinches his cheek, hard.

what gin is saying is that she's not going to let him tease her as much anymore. or that's what she'd like to say but...(losing game). ]

[ This is what happens when you make friends with esoteric fans that happen to be secretly loaded. The legalese part might be a well-meaning Ventrue friend trying to teach her about investments or something, not like Birdie would be able to tell. ]

Do you think it'd count if I just buy a lot of drugs and throw a big party?
