So... this is a purely hypothetical question, but assuming that I--er, someone you sort of know wanted to borrow some money from you, how willing would you be to lending some to this person?

They look completely trustworthy and dependable! If that makes any difference.

[ A moment. A long, booooooored moment.]

Uh, yeah. I wouldn't. Not now, anyway.

[ihasmagicwand]

[ but you're like, his only friend so far-- er, hypothetically ]

Absolutely wouldn't? What if that someone was your friend?

[watertribe]

[how'd he know you were being a moocher.]

Hey, I said not now, didn't I? I kind of need to save up to do something... It's pretty important.

[AKA. I DO NOT WANT AANG AND I ROASTED. AND MY GIRLFRIEND IS NOW ON SHIP AND I MUST TAKE HER ON A DATE, EVEN IF SHE HASN'T RESPONDED TO ACCEPTANCE YET.]

[ihasmagicwand]

[ s'not a moocher! ...yet >> ]

Oh? What's so important?

[ Must be tough being a popular guy, wouldn't want to be you though! ]

The best con artists always look trustworthy.

If I was willing to lend money to somebody, I'd at least make them leave something for collateral, in case they don't pay up.

[ihasmagicwand]

But trustworthy people would look trustworthy, too!

...what would you ask for? Hypothetically.

Re: [video]

[sexyasmieu]

Something valuable, of course! That way, if I got stiffed, I would still be able to make up for the loss by pawning it.

Sentimental value might work too, since then you know they'll try to buy it back, but it's pretty easy to fake that, so I'd be wary of that kind of thing.

[ihasmagicwand]

Wow, that's, uh, what if they just wanted to borrow ten credits? Would that still require something valuable or sentimental in trade?

[areyouhungry]

I guess it depends on who it is!

[ihasmagicwand]

Really? So you would definitely lend, huh?

[ he's so keeping you in mind for future money issues ]

[video]

[areyouhungry]

If it was one of my friends, I think I would for sure. I know I can trust them to get it back to me, in some way or another-- and even if they can't, I definitely owe some of them more than money can ever buy.

If it was just some random guy in the street... well, I guess then it depends what they wanted it for. Maybe it'd just be better to buy them what they want!

[video]

[ihasmagicwand]

Would it be bad if it was to buy something they wanted? That's pretty much the point of money, right?

Of course, they would absolutely pay you back. Because they look so trustworthy and dependable.

[princess_tenko]

Dare I ask what brought this on?

[ihasmagicwand]

Um, curiosity?

It's purely hypothetical, at this point.

[princess_tenko]

Is that so?

[ihasmagicwand]

Yes, absolutely so.

[mirrored_seal]

[purely hypothetical. riiiiiiight.]

I guess it'd depend on how much they wanted to borrow.

[ihasmagicwand]

[ ttly hypothetical! hear that completely honest and hypothetical tone? ]

Er, how much would you be willing to lend? Hypothetically?

voice.

[mirrored_seal]

[oh, ttly, just like I can hear that little Snorkack buzzing around your head.]

Weeeeeell, if it was a small amount, it'd be fine as long as they paid me back eventually. But for larger amounts, I need a larger, more immediate reimbursement.

[ihasmagicwand]

[ oh, so you see it too? Apparently Luna's been right all these years, imagine that! ]

You girls really like having something immediate to hold on to, huh? Well, what exactly would you want to be reimbursed with?
