Summary: Ode-Iou tries and fails to do something about the Odio Incarnations' excessive spending.


"We need to talk about our budget," snapped Ode-Iou, pointing with a fan to the large scroll laid out on the low table before him.

"Why do we even have a budget?" demanded Odie, "We're incarnations of a God of Hate scattered across space and time. Our boss can destroy the Universe if he gets too impatient."

"Yes, and he'll probably do it if you waste any more money," replied the evil shogun.

"Do not worry about money," exclaimed OD-10, "I can hack the stock market."

"Hack, yes, but you're terrible at predicting it. We need to be more frugal, is the bottom line. O.Dio, stop going through a small army's worth of bullets in three seconds flat. ODO, try and eat less than an entire herd of elephants in one day."

The gigantic dinosaur's reply was a bellow that shook the foundations of Odio's Domain, followed by a stomp that did, indeed, send a crack through the flagstones of the castle.

"Oh, great, now we're going to have to get the floor repaired, too," Ode-Iou sighed.

"That was kinda your fault," Odie pointed out, "You should know by now never to upset the dinosaur. Especially if it's about food."
