Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Quote I've never been to a pawnshop.

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Quote I mean, like... I could have Ayia magically have a bunch of valuables that she can sell for quick cash or we could make money being tight an actual issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Quote Maybe one or two? A bunch would draw attention in the 'hey, these might be thieves,' kind of way. And Martin does have a sort of 'trump card' in the money department. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spren of Kindness she/her Posted September 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Quote Yes, but I may pass that role to you for Martin's bit of haggling. Again, never been in a pawnshop. It's 2767, I hereby declare that the word 'pawnshop' means something slightly different. "Well, that depends. What do you have?" 1 minute ago, Knight of Iron said: "Why not?" Ely asked, a bit saddened. "Some kind of rule about shopping," Martin says. "I'm not sure." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoOfThePlanes he/him Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) Quote I've been to a pawnshop before. You're already playing the trader, however, and I'm not sure that I could play a trader in the year 2767 accurately, but if you have any questions... *gasp* What? My random knowledge of obscure subjects actually applies to a situation? Edited September 9, 2021 by EchoOfThePlanes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoOfThePlanes he/him Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Spren of Kindness said: Tell me the things, Echo, please! Quote My frustratingly obtuse memory is at your command! Someone mentioned earlier (I think it was you, Brightness Spren) that only a few people should go into the shop to not draw too much attention. That's alright, of course, but it is actually quite normal for large groups of companions to fill a pawnshop. These tend to be the best customers, you see, for the collective social atmosphere tends to create more opportunity for the trader or merchant to get away with more total value than you do. Friends tend to subconsciously create peer pressure, no? Might pressure you into trading for something you don't actually need, all for the sake of appeasing the hormonal hive. And if everyone has something to trade, the merchant can group things together, providing slightly increased "prices" with the excuse of it being a "discount" from its "normal price". Etc.

Random Bystander she/her Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Columbia patted down her pockets to see if she had anything in them. She then looked in the small bag she was carrying. She had her Armbands, which she was not pawning, and Erin's armband, which she was also not pawning. She also had her knife, but she was less likely to pawn that than she was the armbands. She rummaged through her bag. She had nothing of value that she would be willing to pawn. Eh. Whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
