Red sits at his laptop desk with one elbow rested on the top of the desk and his hand against his cheek. A few moments pass and an annoyed sigh escapes. 

Blue had been nearby and heard Red grumble. He peeks into the front room from the kitchen. "you alright Red?"

"Job hunting is hard..." Red complains. "online applications take forever to fill out and paper ones give me paper cuts." he then holds up his free hand to show that it has a few bandaids on it.

"well it isn't suppose to be easy." Blue frowns. "though i guess there are ways they could..."

"why can't they just have like a button... you want a job click here BOOM job..." Red pouts staring at his computer. "i don't want to sit here all day staring at questions."

"well I suppose it would help if you had bothered to fill out a resume." Blue replies. "most companies don't even get applications that don't have resumes attached." Blue then turns to leave the room. "i know its difficult Red but there is NO easy way to make money."

Red is about to reply to this but the computer makes a bell noise as a message pops up on the screen. "hu?" Red questions as he reads the pop up. " Sperm donations needed... will pay up to 100$ a person?" Red smirks as he realizes this will indeed be the easiest money he'd ever make. He jumps up to tell Blue but then has a sudden change of heart. 'what if Blue tells me not to go? what if he thinks its a scam? what if he gives me a lecture?! oh hell no!' he then grabs his coat and leaves out the front door without saying anything to Blue.

a few moments later Blue comes back into the room with coffee. "here this should cheer you up a... Red?" he looks around the room confused. "must have went to the bathroom? i'll just leave this here for him then... hu?" Blue sets the coffee on the desk and then notices the pop up message on the computer. "What garbage is this? Sperm donations for money? this is ridiculous! Firstly, donation is voluntary so you wouldn't receive cash. Secondly, sperm isn't even spelled correctly. who in the right mind would fall for this obvious scam?" he closes the pop up and then returns to the kitchen to get himself a coffee. 

-elsewhere-

Red follows the instructions on the pop up message to find a business building called. 'sprm bank' he finds a sign in front of a building which says 'sprm here' and so he goes inside. Inside the building he sees a ton of people packed into the waiting area. "wow... everyone must have come here for the 100 bucks."

"RED!" a familiar Voice calls as Silver pushes his way through the crowd. "hey buddy! you here for the prize too?"

"yeah." Red looks around and frowns. "seems like i'm not the only one." then he turns back to Silver. "hey wait a second i thought you were loaded? why are you here?"

"oh i'm with Black." Silver replies looking around the room. "I seem to have misplaced him in the crowd but i didn't come here to participate. Where's Blue?"

Red blushes a bit and looks the other way. "oh I... I didn't tell him I was coming here. You know how get gets... he'd only tell me not to go."

"Yes I suppose that is true." Silver places his hand on his chin. "well good luck."

-back at the house-

Blue walks through the computer area again and notices Red has still not been back to drink his coffee. "where did he run off too?" then he recalls the message on the computer. "no... he wouldn't!?" After a moment he grabs his coat and runs outside. 

-A Couple Hours later-

Red, Silver, And Black walk out of the building and stand out on the sidewalk. 

"That wasn't so bad." Black chuckles cracking his knuckles and then placing his hands behind his head. 

"sometimes it is a good thing to be a fast shooter." Red chuckles nervously. 

"What'd you think about?" Black questions.

"oh you know... same old usual stuff." Red replies cautiously. "you?"

"Silver perfect ass." Black chuckles.

This causes Silver to blush slightly. "you don't say..."

"THERE YOU ARE!" Blue huffs having rounded the corner and seen them talking. "i was looking everywhere for you! you had me worried sick!" he pauses for a moment realizing Black and Silver are there too. "oh don't tell me you all fell for that shitty scam?"

"no scam buddy." Red replies holding up his hundred bucks. "see i got paid."

"that isn't what i meant..." Blue frowns. "You have no idea what this company does with the collected samples..."

"who cares." Black shrugs. "it's just a sample right?"

-elsewhere-

"Soon i will create a genetically altered army! it was brilliant of me to think up Sperm donations as a way to collect the necessary DNA!" 

"you spent more paying each person for half a cup then you would have spent just buying some from an actual bank..."

"shut up you!"
