New Yurk Stock Exchange [Video Post]

[justicereigns]

I don't know what to make of this place. It's got moments of dead quiet and then-- [Cut off by a sudden stampede. Bears and bulls go running by and Smoker just dodges out of the way and climbs onto some high rocks and lets the laptop camera take it in. And then there's more of the stampede with men in business suits carrying briefcases and running desperately out of breath chasing the bulls and bears.] This is completely nuts... shit wait for it. [And then they all come running back again in the other direction they originally came from, the businessman running away from the rampaging bulls and bears.]

[Waits for the dust to settle and sighs.] So I guess the bulls are supposed to be on the stock exchange? In exchange for money or bears I don't know. But apparently something happened and it's all gone to hell. And anytime I lasso those men in suits away from their herd they just babble about needing to chase the bears and bulls and "dollar signs." I have no freaking clue what a dollar is supposed to be. Unless they use sand dollars for currency? I guess I could go dig some up to try to bribe one of them for information.

This is ridiculous. If this is supposed to be a punishment Sengoku, you made your goddamn point. Can I have a real assignment? They don't even have a boss to talk to. Tch. Who the hell wears a tux to deal with bulls? Stupid...

[Walks off back to shore and in the background the stampede starts up again.]

Oh Tsuzuki. Happy Birthday. Is the color okay?

Mm!

It's the currency that's used in America in my world. I think there are other countries that also have 'dollars' but a different type for their country.

[justicereigns]

Wait... Countries in your world don't all use the same currency?

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

No. Countries have their own, when you go to other countries you have your money exchanged for that place's currency.

[justicereigns]

Why?

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I guess that the countries want to stay apart.

[justicereigns]

... Not to sound like a five year old, but why?

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

Maybe because with different currencies then you can get more for your money when you convert them.

I don't know though.

[justicereigns]

... What why? It's still the same money?

Hm. Understood.
Of course it leaves the question of why the businessman are after currency form another world, it's no use here.

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

But it's not really. Different currencies can buy things for different prices and when you change them over you might have more or less than you had.

...Maybe they want it to buy things from another place?

[justicereigns]

That sounds even more confusing. And like it could cause problems between the countries for saying one was better or not.

From another world?? Do the bears and bulls have dollars??

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

Things seem okay at the moment between the countries.

Not in my world, animals wouldn't have a reason to own money.

Hm... strange, but I believe you. Just strange for me to even imagine.

Well usually not here either. That's why I don't get it.

[justicereigns]

AHA! I have an idea!

Maybe the treasure is under the stampeding bulls and bears and the men in suits think they can get to it when they go one way, but then when they come back, they're forced to retreat again!

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

...Do you really think that, Smoker-san?

.......

Pirates have strange treasures?

[justicereigns]

And they're idiots.

[justicereigns]

....

No....

I just want to be done with this stupid "mission."

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

What are you trying to do for it anyway?

[justicereigns]

Assignment from the boss. I think he's just trying to punish me.

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

By making you watch animals running around?

[justicereigns]

It's demeaning. I'm meant to be out hunting pirates. Not investigating utter nonsense.

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

Strange.

[justicereigns]

He's mad about coffee island.

[inugamikeeper.livejournal.com]

Why is he mad about that?

[justicereigns]

It's his private resort.
