AB, a question here for the sake of in-story context/depth.

Does PATCA pays well? You know, enough to get a decent living and benefits, pay for food, housing and some personal luxuries? Do some of those things get subsidies or so, since the employees are effectively soldiers and trained experts risking their lives and such? Also, are they paid regular salaries where they have duties even outside of specific missions or is it unreliable part time job where they are only paid on the basis of each mission

I was just wondering because Moon has a business on the side (extra job) and several of the other characters either were already wealthy or had jobs or professions before joining PATCA, hence I was wondering if working for PATCA alone is enough to pay the bills. I thought it might be an interesting thought regarding how the PCs and NPCs operate, especially outside of PATCA missions.

>_> It was along this line of thinking (and recalling that Evangaleen uses Moon's business to upgrade her vibrator) that I had some weird ideas crop up in my head regarding their professions.

*A loud persistant ringing noise is heard in the medical ward and Lola picks it up*
Lola: Hello?
Harliette: You gotta help me sis! *Her voice is a strained sort of distress*
*Lola responds with deep concern*
Lola: Harliette, what's wrong?
Harliette: I need you to come over to help with a... medical situation!
Lola: Ok, I'm coming over... but why not call an ambulance?
Harliette: ... Because I don't want anyone to see this...
Lola: *Her voice becomes darker and not so pleasant* ... Explain. Now.
Harliette: My idiot boyfriend Mouse mistook his container of super adhesive for personal lubricant. I can't leave the house stuck to him naked and I don't want strangers to see this either! It's fucking embarressing and the moron is still on Jenny's shit list!!!
Lola: ... why did you choose to date him again?
Harliette: It certainly wasn't for his brains! Probably why DICKHEAD HERE is on her list in the first place! *Lola overhears the two of them explode into an argument as she hangs up and head-desks.*

EDIT: Alternatively, Lola starts daydreaming if she was stuck in a similar mess, perpetually attached to a lover, forgetting the not so romantic parts like the obvious pains and difficulties of getting out of the sticky situation!

... Yeah.
Excuse me if I misportrayed Mouse. I kinda envisioned him as the someone a bit rougher around the edges, too much testosterone and hates thinking unless it's about a topic that motivates him.
