Lunar Rabbit in America Chapter 37: Taxes (phone and inhouse action)

[stop_it_tewi]

... taxes... what...?

What kind of...

*Reisen's at her table with a pile of paperwork*

H-how do I do this...?

*she's just kind of slowly going through all of that as best as she can*

[artwithknives]

I...

I don't know. Akiha always handled this stuff back home.

[stop_it_tewi]

O-oh...

We just... didn't have taxes back in Gensokyo.

Hime-sama probably wouldn't know anything about this... Suigintou probably wouldn't... Chiyo's probably too young... Maybe Demo-san...?

[artwithknives]

I wouldn't write off Chiyo. She is pretty smart, after all.

[stop_it_tewi]

Y-yeah, that's true...

[hourai_branch]

They say taxes are like death!

[stop_it_tewi]

T-they can't be that bad...

[hourai_branch]

No I think they're just as inevitable.

[stop_it_tewi]

Oh...

...

W-well, at least Chiyo can take care of it for us.

[bane_of_reisen]

If you want, I can have the bunnies do yours too. I have them doing Eirin's.

[stop_it_tewi]

... do you even know how to do taxes?

[bane_of_reisen]

You think someone who wants to one day have a huge business in Gensokyo wouldn't know how to do taxes?!

You think too little of me Reisen my dear.

[stop_it_tewi]

There's no government around to even tax your business!

[blewitup]

Ey...Bonneh....

[Demo is staggering through the door with a massive amount of paperwork of his own.]

Wot's this town tryin' t' do wit all this paperwork...Ah almost wish they'd kept me droned a bit longer, ahh-hahaha~ACH!

[the stack of papers slipped, and a large batch of bound documents have dropped on his foot. He's now hopping around like a madman, clutching his toe.]

Bloody dangerous event they've sicced on us this time...

[stop_it_tewi]

Ah...

A-are you okay?

[blewitup]

Yeh, I s'pose...tis jus' a bump, an Ah've lived through worse n' that.

More importantly, yeh 'ave any idea wot all this tax business is about? Apparently, th' construction job pays pretty well, an we're s'posed t' get a rebate, or summin like tha'...

Ah dun really get it, but summa th' drones were talkin about it at th' site. Then my boss 'anded me these papers an told me t' git em filled out and mailed!

[stop_it_tewi]

Ah... I-I don't have any idea how to fill them out... but Chiyo already handled mine, so...

[hop_toit_udonge]

Reisen, I have a confession to make...

As a dignitary of the Moon, I never had to pay taxes. While living in Eientei, I never had to pay them either.

I have, not once, paid a single bit of currency to any established governing body.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

[stop_it_tewi]

A-ah...

*there's just... shocked silence. Of course, as a pet of the Watatsuki sisters, she never had to deal with taxes either.*

[hop_toit_udonge]

I'm just... going to let Tewi handle this.

[stop_it_tewi]

Y-yeah...

... it... seems Chiyo can take care of it over here...
