I've always wondered. Are the servants in Umineko indentured, or do they earn an income and have the freedom to quit an leave at will?

They spend a half hour discussing that.

Read the fucking VN.

But what happens if you don't want to waste half an hour for something that can be described in 3 minutes?

I've only been watching the anime, I've only got a macbook pro until the end of the october, building a new win 7 machine. My last windows desktop died a few months ago. I can't play the VN. ;_;

They're not indentured or earn incomes or have freedom or have any will to begin with, they're not even fucking human. They're magical creations in the shape of people.

You can play Umineko on OSX. Go check witch-hunt's site, they have a mac patch (it works, I've used it).

I refuse to believe that! Both Kanon and Shanon can be killed, the bleed just like normal humans. Sure, they "show" magical powers, but that's just a trick of the lighting.

You know what else bleeds? goats, and goats are magical.

They earn money, Shannon mentions having money saved up.

>> No.3300170

>>3300161
It was also mentioned Kanon has quite an amount of money saved up but doesn't have anything to spend them on.

>> No.3300186

Most servants who worked for the Ushiromiya family did so to save a good amount of money for their future.

They all quit after about 3 (?) years.
Kanon and Shannon are different.

All servants can leave except for Genji Kanon and Shannon who are furniture in addition to servants. Those three are bound 'till their deaths and beyond.

Don't be stupid, they can leave. Genji doesn't out of sheer loyalty, that's why Kinzo likes him so much.

>Kanon and Shannon are different.

Because they have some Ushiromiya blood running through their veins.

Which episode does it say about saving up money?

So recently I've been playing sea cats with the sound off and listening to swing music in the background.

It's an interesting experience.

They can't. They're bound by a magical contract

They're not furniture, magic doesn't exist.
