Winter nodded slightly. "Either is fine. I probably should take a walk though; I have too much energy because of the demon." He said.

"A walk it is, then. Spending an entire day in that house doesn't sound that nice, anyways." Mycah pressed down on the gas slightly. "We might be able to find a locksmith for the door, too."

Winter nodded. "Although…we should try and figure out who really owns the place, and maybe later actually purchase it. That way we don't run into legal trouble because of that."

"Good idea." Mycah agreed. "Maybe we would have to do that with the car too at some point." The road spit them out onto a nicer road, and Mycah pressed down on the gas a little more. Driving so slow was making them a bit annoyed.

"Well…the car we should probably abandon sooner rather than later, just in case the owner comes looking." he replied. "I realize that we just robbed a bank, but we can't afford to take too many risks."

"Mmm." Mycah nodded. "Maybe that could be one of our first purchases with our new money?" The first houses started passing by the car, and Mycah tried to remember the way to their house. "Where should we leave the car?"

Winter frowned a little bit. "I'd say the outskirts of town, nowhere near our house." He replied slowly. "We don't want anything to point at us."

"Here should be good, then." Mycah decided, pulling onto the side of the road. They hadn't seen any signs saying they couldn't part there, and it was pretty far away from their house.

Winter nodded a little bit. "Alright." He replied simply. He grabbed the backpack and all traces of them, putting them away.

Mycah turned the car off, wondering what they should do about the bag full of money. "Do you think this," they gestured at the bag, "would be safer in the car or in the house? Or somewhere else?"

"I think…in the house." He replied. "They'll eventually find the car, and we don't want them to get the money when they do."

"Alright." Mycah grabbed the bag and stuffed it into their backpack, then slung the backpack over their shoulder. They opened the door and got out. "We'll make a stop there at some point."

Winter nodded, and got out of the car. "Alright. Let's go." He said, taking a deep breath. "And we'll need jobs, food, and bedding. That's our immediate focus."

"Agreed." Mycah started walking down the road, hoping they could find the way to the house. As they walked, Mycah was checking around, seeing if there were any places they might stop at and if anyone was looking at them weirdly.

Winter walked beside Mycah, looking around. "Our top priority should be food, jobs, and bedding, mostly in that order."

"Hmm." Mycah nodded. "We should probably stop at a supermarket sometime today, then. Eating out every single day will drain our money a lot." They glanced around, then turned down a street to head towards the house. "Do you remember if anything in the kitchen was working?"

Winter looked over. "I didn't test them." he replied with a shrug. "But we can test them when we get back to the house." he smiled a little bit.

"If they don't work, we might need to invest in either repair or just getting some mini ones from the store," Mycah said, looking over at him. They were almost to the house, and Mycah was itching to get rid of the big bulk of the money. It was making them a bit nervous to be having so much with them.

Winter sighed softly. "Yeah. We have a lot of stuff we might need to purchase. Right now we need to figure out the most important things."

"We should make a list when we get back to the house," Mycah decided, spotting the house and heaving a small sigh of relief. "Most important to least important."

Winter nodded. "Mhm. Food is the most important, along with sleeping stuff and cooking supplies, and jobs."

"Right." Mycah nodded and turned onto the sidewalk leading up to the door. They started putting together a list in their mind so it wouldn't take too long to write it down. Mycah pressed their hand on the lock, then held the door open for Winter.

Winter went inside, setting down the backpack. "Alright. I'll go check the stuff in the kitchen." he headed to the kitchen.

"Okay." Mycah nodded, taking off their backpack and pulling the bag of money out. "Did you find any good hiding places when you looked around the house earlier?" They called, glancing around. They'd found a loose floorboard or two, which could do in a pinch.

Winter shook his head. "Not really." he replied as he headed into the kitchen to test everything.
