[Yeah, that did the trick. Lia's never been an especially heavy sleeper but that f-bomb has her sitting up, rubbing at her eyes--]

Becky?! What happened, did something blow up?!

[lifeforced]

Yes! My freaking mind did! [She starts waving the card around, but it's probably hard to tell what's printed on it when it's constantly moving like that.] What the hell is this?!

[Then she spots something out of the corner of her eye, sitting on top of some things that were for Lia.]

O-oh god, I think you got one too!

[buddinghopes]

I can't see when you're waving it around like that....

[She's trying to follow the card around until Becky points out that there's one for her too. She clambers down from the bed and over to the pile of gifts to open it.

And when she does, her jaw (predictably) hits the floor.]

F-f-f-five hundred?!

[lifeforced]

I hardly even know what to do with fifty! [When she doesn't just put it toward a new game or more ingredients for baking, anyway.] What am I gonna do with this?

[buddinghopes]

Tell me about it...

[She turns the card over in her hands for a bit.]

I mean, having this much on hand is nice in case of an emergency or something at least... I'm gonna save, like, half of it, if not the whole thing, I think...

[lifeforced]

Okay, yeah, that's— That's probably what I should do too. Just hold onto it. In case something ends up going down sometime later.

Who in the fuck, though. Any ideas?

[buddinghopes]

I... I don't know. Do we even know anyone who has this kind of money? 'Cuz I sure as heck can't think of anyone...

[lifeforced]

I don't think so?

And I'll be honest, not knowing where it came from miiiiight be setting off a red flag or two? I mean, anonymous gifts are one thing, but huge anonymous gifts are kind of another.

[buddinghopes]

Yeah... And, like, this says it's from a faculty member, but...

I'll probably end up worrying myself into a tizzy if I think on this too hard, so I think I'm gonna shove this in my bag and forget about it until I need it.
