Rufus ShinRa- I trust that you've done the intelligent thing and moved out of the house that you were illegally occupying. In case you need assistance, a group of soldiers has been sent out to help you. Now, I'm sure that no unpleasantness will be necessary, but you should know that they have been told to use force if warranted.

In other, more general news- just what, exactly, is this? I really am at a loss.

It's called a summerhouse for a reason.

And, of course, I have no problems with off-world citizens purchasing homes in the Fire Nation. However, this particular one wasn't purchased.

If you wish, I can allow you to keep the house, and simply withhold any payments for Ty Lee's hospital stay. The bills are in possession of Hades now, but I'm sure I can get them back before he pays them.

It was purchased at some point by the royal family, however we have vocal confirmation that you did indeed present me the house without charge.

Or you could simply pay the bills, leave me the house and I will not retaliate.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It is not the property of the royal family, it is the property of the Fire Nation.

Any "vocal confirmation" is meaningless.

No.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

So the royal family doesn't own the Fire Nation? How quaint.

They still believed it and gave me the deed to the house. You have quite the reputation of not being asked twice.

Then, we're at an impasse.

We haven't purchased every home in the country; that would be ridiculous. We run the country, but we don't own everything. Private ownership is still very much allowed.

And if I told them to take it back- which I have- they won't think twice about doing that, either.

Perhaps in your mind.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

How kind of you.

I would hate to show you my vindictive side.

Trust me, I have no problem with showing you mine.

But really, I don't see the need. I have decided to take back my little gift from Hades, and consider the house as payment for Ty Lee's hospital stay. If you aren't satisfied with this arrangement, I would of course be happy to arrange a more conventional settlement.

Do you really think you can keep up?

ShinRa products and a product for ShinRa are two completely different things. The money does not go directly to me, it goes to our medical subsidiary, which is a subsidiary of ShinRa Medical Supplies, which is a subsidiary of ShinRa Research.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Your point?

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

Paying someone else does not count as buying something for me.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that you would like to set up an alternative payment method for the house?

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

Are you?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, as I said earlier, I am quite willing to negotiate.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

I hope you're not wasting my time with a sub par offer.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You do know the price of the house, don't you?

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

You do know that I never pay for anything.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Then I suppose we'll have to go back to plan A.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Fine. I will retrieve the bills from Hades, since he won't be paying them.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

Neither will I.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Then the lack of payments will negate each other.

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

She'll have her health, and I'll have my house.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I suppose you can look at it that way.
