Three days ago, while I was talking to Jake, he asked how long it would be until I'd write more to Parasitic Trio. I told him that I might as well shift my focus onto that when I come home from New Jersey on Monday when I'm back in New Jersey, but also told him that if he's asking mainly because of his debt, then I could settle for him translating stuff if he's capable of such. He told me that while he probably wouldn't be capable of any kind of literal translation, he is able to "decode" stuff based on context. Reading that, I proposed sending my PC-FX to him, so that he can play Makeruna! Makendou Z and figure out what everyone says in each scene, before I finally greenlight his version of SMW2: Yoshi's Island rewritten once and for all.
His main issue with that was the amount he might be taxed for receiving it. However, I brought the idea up with Mom when she came home from work shortly afterwards, and she said that it would be too expensive for us to ship out. From there, I suggested we talk about it again when I have more of a budget.
With that, I decided that I'm going to write just enough Parasitic Trio chapters for Jake to work off his current debt off with. Once he works most of it off, I'll take to selling a bunch of stuff on Ebay then, in order to raise funds to pay for shipping and handling. Once I send him the system, that will add a fixed $210 or $330 to his debt ($120 for the console, $90 for MMZ, and $120 more for Chip-chan Kick if no one else buys that game), minus whatever he's taxed for it all, but I'll take it all off once he does what I want him to do and translates everything in MMZ. (If he doesn't like that idea, I am willing to negotiate with him.)

Yesterday, Jake asked if I could write anything that isn't related to either Starbound or Parasitic Trio at any point. I told him that while I hardly ever think about Cult nowadays, I still would like that one to pan out beyond the prologue. While Starbound is likely going to sit on the back burner for a while, with only two chapters currently in place, it's been a whole year and a half since Cult got it's second and last update. So, I'll be sure to ask Chelle to help me outline its first real chapter once and for all whenever she's ready.
