So, sending out a quick question to all my homies and newbies.

How much would you pay to hug a gigantic red panda? Use whatever currency you feel comfortable with, just tell me if it's high or low.

I may have a business opportunity in the works.

[Mei.

Please.]

Are you that desperate for a job?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

It's just a business question! Think of it as market research.

Whats a red panda?? Are thay related to pandai??

[Look, if it's not a Greek Monster the likely hood of him knowing animals is small.]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ She assumes it's a misspelling... ]

Technically they're different animals, but they look a lot alike! Red Pandas have different coloring and are smaller.

Except in this case - THIS red panda is taller than adults.

[adorabrawler]

Depends on how soft it is.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

More soft than a bedroom full of stuffed animals.

More soft than a warehouse full of downy pillows.

[ Yasusada might be laughing a bit. What a charming little business his young companion wants to start.]

How much would I think it's worth? Mmm, that's so hard to put into words. A hug from a giant red panda would be like a priceless hug to recieve.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

That's super adorable and not really helpful, my man.

Come on, give me a number! Or an item, or a favor, make it real!

Hug a giant panda?? You're talkin about a real one right?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

A RED panda, technically, there's a difference.

And yes, it's absolutely real, and very huggable.

any discount for a friend of yours?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Well, I'm not heartless.

Sender: Amy Rose

[pricklybloom]

Wait, you're actually thinking of using your big fluffy panda self to make money by charging people for hugs?





That's amazing, I love it.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

To be fair, someone else gave me the idea. But you gotta admit, it's a REALLY good idea.

[Is this the one who he's been told about who can transform into a panda? Interesting... Of course he's gonna poke the bear a little, pun entirely intended.]

I dunno, I have a panda I can hug at home all I want. What can you offer that he can't? Gimme a business pitch here.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

hang on

do you have an actual living breathing panda at home? or do you mean at a zoo?

Sender: Wendy Carter

[ectoherbology]

My sister is interested. Would you be okay with hugging a ghost?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ ... she supposes it's a relief that things here continue to surprise her. ]

i didn't know ghosts can hug

but sure okay

she's not scary right?

Is currency a thing in this dream? I wasn't aware.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

It's not really...

That's why I'm asking you to use your imagination, like the currency of your home world!

sender: percy jackson

[judoflipped]

...so you wanna be a mascot

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ a long, contemplative pause before she replies. ]

i guess? technically?

Sender: Ken Amada

[whatsamada]

I think that would be a good business but...

Is there a currency we can use around here?

[itsgunnabe_mei]

That's why I'm asking you to use your powers of imagination! Speculation! Think of the currency you'd use back home!

Then I have a base to start with, whether to keep my expectations high or low.

[whirlwindthrust]

A gigantic red panda? What is that.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

I am so very sad your world doesn't have those!

Does your world have Pandas? Or Bears?

Sender: Sleeping Beauty

[ibarahime]

I don't know about a hug, but... does this red panda like letting people take a nap with them?

[Cuddling a big fluffy red panda while taking a snooze would be comfy, she thinks...]

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[ The Sender Name makes her pause. Must be a nickname, or a joke! Cause it's not like... Sleeping Beauty is real... r-right? ]

I don't see why not. Since the days can be less busy here, naps can be scheduled and organized!

[burnttoashes]

[... should he feel bad about this? Possibly. Probably not, since Baldr is Baldr and look if he shoves Baldr off onto someone else then he doesn't have to feel guilty about anything--]

I know someone who could use a hug. Or several. I'm sure he would be happy to pay well for something like that.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

Now that's what I wanna hear! Would they also like head-pats and compliments?
