[Panel 1]
[Jaakko]
It's funny, really, when
you think about it.
Here we are, we juggle millions
of pounds and euros a day and
never think about it twice,
but when it comes to personal
stuff, it's all barter.
[Nils]
I suppose.
[Jaakko]
I mean, Ginny could buy her own
mysterious tea, but she'd rather
get it from the secretaries.
[Panel 2]
[Ginny]
I don't want to buy my own.
[Nils]
But his point is, you
could afford to... you'd just
rather barter for it.
[Ginny]
It's more that if I bought a
whole box of fruit teabags and
it turned out I didn't like
the flavour, I'd be stuck with
nineteen I didn't want.
[Panel 3]
[Jaakko]
It's as if we don't even
want to think about money.
Remember when we had to spread
the load on the transaction server,
and the only way we could fix
it was by inventing a currency?
[Ginny]
Cowrie shells. How could I forget.
I still say that was a
stroke of genius, Nils.
[Panel 4]
[Nils]
It was just.... Money is
a state of mind, really.
[Jaakko]
It's valuta, not actual.
[Nils]
it... Hey, that
gives me an idea
for a scenario!
Valuta!
Jaakko, I owe you.
[Jaakko]
I'll take it in hunks
of smoked animal.
You take this role-playing
stuff seriously, don't you?
[Nils]
Well, of course.
It's not like money.
It's REAL.
