Even after all this time it is strange to me that Luceti has no economy. It is unthinkable in my country to have a country or city, or rather a commune as I believe we could be classified, without a system of economy. I suppose it would mean less colds, but-First, let me thank all of those who participated in my call for autographs in my last ( Read more... )

[...My country? A ruler or president of some sort perhaps.]

While I haven't been here long, I would imagine an economy would be difficult to regulate considering how items appear out of nowhere. It's a steady supply of goods, but the goods coming in are unpredictable. How would you regulate the cost of items? There's also the matter of producing currency.

What kind of dog is Pochi-kun? I'll keep an eye out for him.

Yes, the difficulties in creating one here are vast. It simply baffles me that it is this way at all.

Pochi-kun is small, light brown and very fluffy. He was supposed to go to the store to pick up some tuna and tofu, but I am afraid he may have gotten distracted.

A minor blessing perhaps. I think it's nice not having to worry about that aspect.

He sounds very cute. I'll keep an eye out for him.

[Written] 4000excuses July 20 2011, 08:54:19 UTC

I suppose there are benefits, yes.

Thank you. If you simply remind him that dinner cannot start until he returns, I'm sure he will make his way back.

Um.. What does Pochi-kun look like..? I'll make sure to help you find him!

[ voice ] 4000excuses July 20 2011, 11:45:21 UTC

[This makes me so sad that he is from before her series was released. /sob]

Ah...Thank you. He is small, light brown and very fluffy. I sent him on an errand to the store, but I'm afraid he hasn't returned.

[ He could have talked to all the megucas.. ]

Small, light brown and fluffy.. Ehehe, that actually sounds a little cute. I'm sure I can find him, o-or.. at least, I'll do my best!

... What sort of errand was he supposed to do though?

[ voice ] 4000excuses July 20 2011, 12:06:13 UTC

[He would have stalked them so hard... /creepy]

I would appreciate any help you can give. But please, do not strain yourself.

He was...supposed to retrieve some tuna and tofu. It's possible he got distracted.

Why would you ask for autographs here?

[Voice] 4000excuses July 20 2011, 12:25:35 UTC

It's my hobby.

[Voice] souncute July 20 2011, 12:30:26 UTC

But you can't take them home. [Or at least that's what she's been told. THIS PLACE IS WEIRD.]

[Voice] 4000excuses July 21 2011, 01:59:15 UTC

It is a matter of principle. [Lord knows what kind of principle.]

Being without a collection in a place like this would simply be a lost opportunity.

[.........Not a citizen. ;A; HE'S NOT A CITIZEN?! This is horrible! Horrible!]

B-but if there is an economy outside, how could they keep it from us? Does that mean it's still possible to catch colds? [AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH]

[Yes.]

Recessions.

It's a little strange I suppose, but it's not really like we're all countries here. What would you even use? What would be the solid rate of conversion? How could you deem prices on goods that come in freely anyway?

What kind of dog do you have?

[written] 4000excuses July 21 2011, 02:03:03 UTC

Yes, I suppose most of the people here are human or some approximation thereof so an economy would not be necessary. [But what of the people who are? WHAT DO?] There must be some precious metals or rare commodity that could be used in place of paper or coined money? And perhaps the money could be used for services instead of goods. Even a bartering system would be preferable to nothing at all. ...Even bartering.

My dog is small, light brown and fluffy. His name is Pochi-kun.

[written] fierybluebird July 21 2011, 02:09:05 UTC

Pochi-kun, got it.

What kind of services?

[written] 4000excuses July 21 2011, 02:31:10 UTC

If you see him, please inform me. I am unfortunately unable to go out myself.

There is a flower shop, bakery, weaponsmith, training hall and other stores and establishments run by the residents, are there not? I heard someone was looking to hire a cook and a gardener as well. Such services should be rewarded.
