Oh no you don't! Arthur England Kirkland, you get your butt back here right now and give me back that upgrade I bought you! You don't get to mysteriously disappear and waste all that money I spent on you!

Mega bogus, you guys! Don't you think we should all get refunds if people vanish after you spent good money on them?!


((OOC: Sorry for the obnoxious font, she's been talking to Dave too much.))

lets just ignore the fact that you apparently dont care about people mysteriously disappearing
beyond your the outrage that you wasted a few bucks
and focus instead on the fact that people are mysteriously disappearing
whats up with that

[pennypincher]

I don't know! That mega-jerk Santana said it just happens sometimes.

[inamber]

alright thats informative
thanks for the vital information youre a great help

[pennypincher]

Hey, prick, we're all in the same boat here. The only people who know anything refuse to tell us anything so get off my case.

[inamber]

whoa slow down
prick
goddamn

im nursing a burn so severe its turned part of me into deep fried goddamn chicken

I do not think he would chose to leave just to cheat you out of a few coins.

[pennypincher]

I know it's not his fault, but don't you at least think I should get back whatever I bought him?

[bloodandfire]

Why? The exchange was made and finalized.

[pennypincher]

Because he's not here anymore? They took my money, then they sent him and his stupid upgrades away. Money can't just disappear in a proper economy.

[bloodandfire]

The money did not disappear, it is at the shop.

INCITES INCITES

[trollofthree]

Huh, they didn't give you your stuff back? Yeah, that's pretty bogus. It's not like they haven't got enough raks.

[pennypincher]

I know, right? And it goes against all the rules of a proper economy. Money circulates. It doesn't just vanish into thin air.

and then he starts experimenting with the font options

[trollofthree]

Guess if you have as much money as they do, you can just make your own economy.

[pennypincher]

It's more like slave labor with a thin outer layer of capitalism just to fool us into going along with it.

[trollofthree]

Slave labour means they have to get something out of it, though. What's the point of a slave city that makes slave run it, too? No one's around to benefit.

[heroiccia]

Someone vanished?

[pennypincher]

Yeah! The crime solving teacher, Arthur Kirkland.

[heroiccia]

Huh, oh! Maybe he found a way out then!

[pennypincher]

Maybe. If he did I'm so mad at him, though! Why wouldn't he tell us?

[heroiccia]

Maybe he couldn't?

[merde]

I am glad to see that your priorities are in the right place.

[pennypincher]

Thank you, Tear.

[merde]

I'm sorry, my tone didn't come across well via this medium. I'm more used to face-to-face interactions where I come from. I was not being sincere.

[pennypincher]

Oh. I thought you of all people would appreciate my fiscally-sound reasoning.

[merde]

Practices are only fiscally sound if both parties walk away from it satisfied. Taking advantage of someone or complaining after the transaction is over only makes you appear petty. You made the transaction in good faith, and the neither the individual you transacted with nor the system responsible for sending him home are responsible for it. Least of all the people you purchased the upgrade from.
