Jacob, you're such a creepy-head.... ^^ ♥
Wu: Yesh. ^^ Or at least, I like to think we are. She bugs me in german class too much though. X3

Darting and hovering gracefully under its own power, it does a couple soumersaults through the air for the one that approved it...
And stops abruptly, hovering in front of Daichi, a certain face visible through the small lens, sticking his tongue out.
HEY! I am NOT creepy! Or my inventions.
So... HA!
Zooms around more of the board, looking through forums and threads and posts, oh my!

Ugh, I knew I should have used one of the Eye Spies with Omniscient Reading that can analyze a whole forum in zero to sixty milliseconds... If they even have milliseconds here...
The bluish orb turns its lens toward Wu-Xia giggling and laughing over there, and promptly streaks over to him and stops.
You! Hey, you over there! Catch your breath for a second. Do you people have any currency over here? We Tvyyrans are used to Galleons or gold coins, but I guess we could make due with something else... Just as long as it's not, like... beans, or something. You don't use beans for money, do you?

*blinks* I'm a monk. I don't believe in money.
But the currency here is whatever the provincial government makes of it, though gold is indeed the standard.
*pokes at the orb* And just what the heck is a Tvyyran?

*pokes at the orb* And just what the heck is a Tvyyran?
The crystalline orb nearly crashes on the ground before it remembers itself, or more precisely, its creator regains control over it, and brings it back to eye level.
You don't believe in money?! No, no, no.... it's all wrong... You're not supposed to believe in Santa or the Tooth Fairy... you don't not believe in money! Wait-- there's not many like you around here, is there?
Gold works... but don't believe in money? Never in all my years have I even heard--
The crystalline sphere makes a strange buzzing sound when it's poked by an invading finger. Right in the lens too! Soon the hum throbs faster until it's so fast it's silent. The eye comes closer until the lens is practically in Wu-Xia's face, granting the vision of the young-ish muscular man scowling back through the lens.
Hey, watch it! You break it, you buy it! And don't think I won't come over there... wait, what? You've never heard of a Tvyyran?
You... you mean, Daichi hasn't told you? He... hasn't spread the word-of-mouth advertising? Oh, a reverse-discount is definitely in order here....
The guy in the lens makes a rather cocky gesture with his left hand, indicating himself and the area around him.
Why, we are Tvyyrans. Inventors, enchanters, and craftsmen extraordinare. We construct buildings, we make the most diverse lot of magical items anyone has ever seen. We have something for every occasion, and if you want the job done right, you hire a Tvyyran. --And how can you not believe in money?!

You are so!! *whining as he waves his arms around* Way to pull off a floating orb of doom.... *glares, ears twitching*
*laughs insanely at Wu* That made me laugh out loud and it even distracted my dad to stare at me. (He was karaoke-ing, mind you)... So... If Dai tried to pay Wu to have him tied up and other naughty things, he'd refuse and let him do it for free? *grins*
*whispers to Wu* Tvyyrans are stupid... *grins innocently at orb 'o doom*
>Edit: Oh no... Posted too late... *runs over to cover Wu's ears* Don't listen to him! Your head might explode! Or implode!
...
*whips a glare at the orb* Excuse me?! Who said I'd buy anything from you anyways?!?! *mumblestupidkid...*

*blinks lightly* I'm so confused...
And I bet the elves of Fasemoor make take offense to that statement. They probably think they're better than you. *snickers*

The Eye whips around in place to settle on Daichi. If it could scowl, it would, and you can bet that Jacob's scowling from where he's controlling his contraption.
Well... Maybe someone would want to buy a Floating Orb of Doom, you ever think that? If I can even find a frickin' person that isn't all "Oh, I don't believe in money..." I mean, seriously? What's not to like about it except that you don't have it?
And we are NOT stupid!! The blue sphere rockets over and bonks on Daichi's head repeatedly as he covers Wu's ears. But you are a brat!!
Stops suddenly and gives a bonk on Wu's head before thwapping against Daichi's some more. Oh? And how would you know that, Mr. I-don't-believe-in-money? What do they do, give you stuff for free? Everyone knows that free stuff is nothing compared to what you pay for. And you get what you pay for. That's how the money stuff works! You're happy with your purchase, and we Tvyyrans gather up all your gold and swim in it, and have pool parties, and invest it back into the business, and make even more money... and swim in more of it, and get more and more and more and more, until we have ALL the money from the entire world! That's how it's supposed to be! Don't you monks even have collection plates or whatever?

*walks over and grabs the orb as it bonks Dai in the head, frowning at it* What the jince is this? *gently touches Dai's head to see if there's any bumps*

*tries to cover Wu's mouth and his ears at the same time, and epically fails while making a spazzy noise* Shhh!!
Owa!! Get off of me you stupid- *waves at orbs* -thing! *Throws a few daggers at the Tvyyran* Damn you! And don't hit him! *hugs Wu protectively and attempts to shield with wings, pouting* I called dibs first... *whimpers*
Your head is insanely corrupted... *raspberry* And don't you dare bring up that brat thing again or I'll get Zach to distract you!

The daggers deflect off the hard crystalline surface of the Eye, Jacob merely looking out of the lens from the safety of being thousands/millions of miles/light years/dimensions away.
You deserved it! And who would want his poor behind anyway? Ew! We Tvyyrans run a business, NOT a charity--
er.... woah! Hey, you break it, you buy it!
The lens swivels about on the blue crystalline sphere, revealing the muscular young guy in dark work robes with a strange logo on them.
Hey you! You believe in money, right? You're not one of those weird money-diseased people like him, right? The guy that can be seen through the lens nods with an almost fanatic vigor, with a smile that might seem as if he's going to foam at the mouth at any moment...

*blinks* Are you... talking to me? *shakes the orb widely, trying to figure out how it works*
"I'm a mercenary, so of course I like having money. That's why I fight... *frowns* But why should I have anything to do with money that comes from someone who hurts my friends? *hovers around Dai and Wu protectively*

No, I'm talking to the friggin' bird up over your shoulder there... Of course I'm talking to you--
HEY! This is a sophisticated surveillance device, NOT a magic 8-ball! Jacob has to turn his head from the mirror serving as a view screen until the shaking stops, and by the time he's visible again, it looks like he's resisted a wave of nausea. Do that again and I'll shock you, right where it hurts too!
He scowls as he considers your question. But... but... it's their fault, I swear! No, no... wait... it's Daichi's fault! Yes, YES, it's all because of Daichi! He made us Tvyyrans look like villanous scum over yonder... well, whereever that is... and now he's doing it here! It's a conspiracy, I swear it!
The orb makes a sudden rocky vibrating motion as Jacob hits the table behind the mirror angrily.

*sneaks up behind Caine and peeks around him, staring up at the orb* What -is- that? *stands on his toes to peer at it* Can I poke it or something? It's not like it can bite me back.
(I am so so utterly amused XD I'll have my little selkie actually interact more when I'm not avoiding calculus homework)

*stares at the talking orb and then at Dai* Um... Should I be considering this thing an enemy? I'm pretty sure I can use my wind to break it...
*lets go of the orb for a moment, then encases it in a miniature whirlwind, prepared to transform the wind into a multitude of sharp blades*

Ow! Ya angry thing! *tries to punch it and snuggles into Daichi's wings*
And I just mean that money is superficial! I can enjoy life without money thank you. If I need or want something, then I should make it or grow it myself. Or if I can't make it or grow it, make or grow something that I can trade for what I want.
*glares and sticks out tongue* You're an ass.
And I bet the Fasemoor Sky Navy would beat you BLIND!

What is this?! Where are all you people coming from! And don't you recognize sophisticated merchandise when you see it? No wonder my forefathers didn't go and expand our family chain stores to this place! Next you're going to say that you don't have Italian food! You, new guy, have you ever heard of lasagna and garlic bread? Or chicken parmigana? My brother Eba LOVES chicken parmigana--
What is up with everyone trying to poke?! Whoawhoawhoa....
The orb suddenly rockets to the side to break out of the whirlwind and circle everyone, an angry face peering out of the lens of the turquoise Eye.
You're all brats, every last one of you! But, I know Daichi must have corrupted you, poisoned your minds against the glory of the Tvyyran Mercantile Empire! We're really good people. Decent, hardworking shopkeepers looking to make coin and expand, while offering the best creations possible to our loyal customers. We're great for the economy! And we're not crazy, we do our best to maximize our tax writeoffs for each fiscal year!
Wait a minute... do you have to pay taxes here? Or is that free too?

*blinks* How could Dai have corrupted me if I met him just recently? *smirks* If anything, I'm the one doing the corrupting!
"No, I've never seen anything like this, and I've never heard of the Tv-whatever." *waves hand dismissively* "I don't think there's much market for annoying floating balls here." *shoots wind at the thing and pushes it away*

*blinks in confusion* What's Italian? *frowns* I hunt my own fish, so I don't need to know all that anyway... Though I do, except for "Parmigana". What in the world is "parmigana"?
*jumps up into the air to attempt to poke it before Caine pushes it away, just for the sake of being a contrary brat* Haven't heard of no Tivyan whatsit either. Taxes I've heard of, never seen anyone collectin' them though. *mentally admits failure in the jumping up to poke department, dancing back a few steps to peer up at the ball* Are you paranoid or somethin'? Why would the dragon one be spreadin' rumors about you?
