[Now here's a face we haven't seen in public in a while -- she's changed her outfit a bit since her arrival, no doubt to better suit the more modern times...even if the gray skin, cerulean eyes, fangs, and candy-corn horns still kind of threw off the whole 'normal' image

What sort of currency do they use where you're from?

[octaocelli]

I suppose it depends on your upbringing. I dealt mostly in riches -- gold, jewels, precious metals...you know.

[gallitrap]

So, more like a barter system? Of a sort, anyway, at that level.

[octaocelli]

Correct. There were many with my mentality. Still others dealt in the lives of other's or various types of servitude.

[octaocelli]

So helpful.

[Spinning one of the casino chips on the table absently.]

I'm more familiar with currency of that sort.

[octaocelli]

I, in particular. I could think of a few who had no use for such things.

[octaocelli]

[...curious, intrigued stare. A talking plant with large teeth. She likes this.

Her tone is flattering, if nothing else.]

I hail from Alternia, actually. Your brood is one I've yet to come across, I'm afraid.

[he'd wiggle his eyebrows at her if he had them.

....or eyes, for that matter. instead there's just a grin and a good shot of his teeth.]

That's 'cause I'm one of a kind, babe~

[as far as he knows at least.]

I ain't evah heard of Alternia.

[A very feminine chuckle.]

Consider this your introduction, then.

[And of course it's the cigarette tht concerns him most.]

I'd be careful with those things. They'll kill you, you know.

[There's a frown of confusion before she pulls it out of her mouth and eyes it. Then there's a soft chuckle.]

I've lived many sweeps -- it will take more than a bit of indulgence to be rid of me, I'm afraid.

That's what they all say, until the doctor mentions you've only got a year left. Do you have any idea what kind of chemicals are in cigarette smoke?

[octaocelli]

I can't say I'm particularly interested.

[Don't make her pout, Vic.]

paper's a bit easier to move from place to place.

[permavideo]

[octaocelli]

Yes, I have noticed that particular perk.

[subconman]

hard goods tend to be a bit more traceable as well.

people tend to remember the man who pays them off in gold bars.

[octaocelli]

[Out slips a gold coin from her sleeve, which she proceeds to flip.]

Or the woman, in this case.
