"Phew!" said Julie. "I was beginning to think I'd never get any peace."
Annika looked up from her paperwork and grinned.
"Finally got them all down, huh?"
"Yeah."
Julie plonked down on the lounge, exhausted.
"I suppose this is a bad time, but you haven't had a chance to -"
"Nope."
"Okay."
There was quiet for a moment.
"I know it needs to be done," Julie said. "But I still have children to take care of, and they have to come first."
"I understand completely," Annika nodded.
More silence.
"Would some good news help?"
"Sure."
"We've made a nice profit last month."
"Oh? Is it anything like last month? $5.37?"
Annika giggled.
"Nope," she said. "To be exact -"
"Of course."
"- $365.58"
Julie stared.
"You're joking?"
"Nope."
"We made that much?"
"Yep."
"How?"
"Donations make up about 12%. My line of goods about 26%. But game merc makes up the rest."
"You're kidding."
"Nope."
"That's so awesome!"
"It sure is. The Zaakmunsta line appears to be particularily popular."
"I'm sure Zac would be delighted to hear that. Were any purchases not members of the IGP2ZH?"
Annika laughed.
"Most of them weren't. The Zaakmunsta is just a well characterised legend in the game."
"Hmph. Cool. I should create another one of those."
"Good plan."
