I think I know where this is going
Three possibilities.
One socket moves in with pivot
Two pivot has a friendly chat with the landlord
3 robot association finds out their witness makes that kind of cash and lives in a utility closet. They come for a visit.
Which do y’all wanna see?
Socket has to be some kind of financial genius to make enough money to live there but she clearly can’t negotiate with people or say no because of her design. Pivot is totally right to be worried!
I imagine rent includes electricity for that big recharge station that is constantly on
$450 a week. Plus late fees.
.. No. Hell no. NUH-UH. THAT’S ROBBERY! YOU’RE MOVING IN WITH PIVOT!!!
How to solve all your money problems
Step 1: earn more money
That is how you solve all your money problems.
Which raises the question of how Socket is getting so much money
she gets more money
duh
Ever seen Breaking Bad?
She *is* working at the cafe and the club Pivot infiltrated last chapter…a really good night as waitstaff also tends to result in a lot of money in tips.
Anon can only imagine most of that money has been siphoned into rent, but not enough to prevent her from getting mo’ clothes.
her next venture is opening an OnlyBots
Socket should’ve gotten a better place the moment she discovered that are you kidding me?
I blame her tbh
Pivot better marry her immediately if she has that degree of money to burn
Poor socket got scammed.
*neck snap* THEY ARE DOING WHAT!?
Somebody is gonna get up phone call real soon, And it is not going to be a nice one.
That landlords number has got to be 1-800-asshole for those of us who want to join the line.
You ever get so upset your head turns 180 degrees? We’ve all been there. XD
Rent that high? Hell yeah I’d get that upset.
I mean…let’s be fair here, they’re both robots. No reason for their joints not to be extra flexible. Or for their necks to be able to swivel a full 360 degrees.
How do wires and other connections stay intact in a setup like that anyway?
Some weird wire connections have infinite turning.
But still.
$450 a week for rent fees for what is a single room with a wall dresser is extreme shit.
That’s $1800 a month and 21,600 a year.
NOT INCLUDING POTENTIAL LATE FEES.
…
Pivot talking with her back turned on Socket.
Pivot: You mean to tell me that you pay your landlord 1100 credits…a week?
Socket: *nods*
Pivot: …For space the size of a utility closet?
Socket: *nods*
Pivot: *clenches fist*
Pivot: …
Socket: Pivot?
Pivot: (I can’t believe I’m saying this)Would…
Socket: Hm?
Pivot: Would you like to move in?…with me?
—–SNEAK ATTACK 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO—–>
Socket: *INTERNALLY SCREAMING*
Pivot: (OMG I SAID IT)*ALSO INTERNALLY SCREAMING*
IT’S THE SEQUEL WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOOOOOOR
Not everybody. I certainly haven’t been waiting for it.
Blasphemy!*
*not really but still
why do I get the feeling this is 50% likely to happen? 🙂
Said the same thing to myself
………………. No.
She moves now.
Pivot! She’d be safer with you & on your watch anyway so, just take her home with you.
Starting to understand why she took on multiple jobs. 450$ a week ain’t cheap…wait we aren’t going to…no you wouldn’t Zed…You wouldn’t…right?
He would! 🤣
W O U L D W H A T ?
0_0 …Socket, Who’s your landlord? I wanna punch him/her in the face for this unfairness.
I’ve seen the next panel and so does pivot
Pivot, you need to get her a new apartment, like pronto.
450$ a week for a FUCKING utility closet.. Hmmm yea sounds about right i would’t be surprised if such a scam existed.
Here that for a SIMPLE ATOMIC APARTMENT OF A PIXEL IS TREMENDOUS SCAM because paying $299.590 that’s why no one would pay that’s just… DISGUSTING
A scam implies that there was dishonesty involved. It is most certainly possible (and perhaps quite likely in this instance), but not guaranteed. Some places are just actually like that (from what I understand, you could get what Socket has in NY, NY for about 2k$ a month and none of the locals would bat an eye), and speaking as someone that lives in what was a low-cost city a relatively short drive from a high-cost city, I know very well that when those high-cost folk start moving in, they never bother to check with the locals to see what something should cost and just go “sure” when offered something slightly below what they payed in the high-cost area but still well above what the locals would have paid.

Robots don’t care about your silly “human limit of neck rotation”.
Ah yes, the violent neck massage.
Paris.exe
NANI TF?
…Anon sorry but WHAT.
WHAT.
WHAT THE FU-
XD
and just like that shes being moved out of there.
Everyone was expecting something cliche and hilarious. What we got was still cliche but now there is righteous anger
$450 a week to rent a utility closet? Someone certainly doesn’t like her.
Rent is a nightmare. Wish I just evade?
Hey first😄
