Two questions, Zion:

1. What would you trade for one cat's worth of fresh meat?
2. What the fuck is happening?

Cheers.

I'm open to selling it for any number of things.

Well, offer it for companionship first!! Honestly, there are SO many people here who have SUCH a rough time of things, a living creature to take care of will be worth SO much more to them than a mouthful of meat. HONESTLY.

[dostoevsky]

People having a rough time of things probably aren't the people I'm looking for here.
But if someone with goods to trade wants to play with their food for a while, that's none of my business.

NO ONE IS GOING TO EAT THAT CAT.

text

[dostoevsky]

You'll have to take that up with whomever buys it from me.

text

[rathercommon]

FINE. I'll buy it from you.

text

[dostoevsky]

If you outbid everyone else.

text

[rathercommon]

I'll buy it RIGHT NOW. The offer is going fast.

I don't doubt that your pockets are deep, Ms. Temple [ I'm going to pretend he knows her fake surname, if she's never said it on the network, whatever, he knows people ] but there had better be more in them than sweets.

Sweets go for a LOT in trade. They're luxury goods.

text

[dostoevsky]

Maybe so, but I'm not going to eat them.
I don't know anyone who wants them and can't get them without going around me.
Bad business decision.

Something for trade is something for trade. You don't need a monopoly, do you.

text

[dostoevsky]

Not any more than you need a cat.

text

[rathercommon]

The point isn't to get a cat. The point is to AVOID RENEWED EXTINCTION OF AN ENTIRE SPECIES.

text

[dostoevsky]

Unless you have another cat, that's going to happen anyway.
She'll just be stringier when it does.

One cat's shown up. It's definitely not impossible that a second will too.
