(komodo-bros) Joe spouted a charismatic grin towards Moneybags. "Ssssso, if it issn't the charlatan himsssself. I wass hoping we could finally meet on this sssspecial occasssssion."
@komodo-bros
“‘Charlatan?’ Why, I have no idea what you’re talking about, dear fellow... As any of my loyal customers would tell you, I am a completely legitimate businessman, striving to make an honest living.”
Hmmm....ok! I'll stop by again tommorrow, but right now I have to go and give other people their gems too. I won the lottery (100,000,000 gems) and I'm giving gems away to anyone I run into! - The Very Generous Anon
At first, there was no response – it seemed the words ‘lottery’ and ‘100,000,000 gems’ had rendered Moneybags temporarily speechless. But he made a miraculous recovery when the mysterious benefactor said they were leaving.
“Hold on! I’ll happily take the rest of those gems off your hands. You’d be saving yourself an extra trip that way, while also making me rich. It’s a win-win deal.”
Hello, I hope you're having a good day today! If not, here's 3000 gems to make your day better! - a Very Generous Anon
What was this? Someone was simply handing him a bunch of gems without him needing to scam them first? This had never happened before, but Moneybags wasn’t about to question it!
“Ha ha! It’s certainly a good day now, thanks to your very generous donation! I hope you decide to stop by again sometime…”
"Oh boy... I really shouldn't have entered that portal," Phoebus muttered, with a frown. He of course didn't notice the bear holding a bag of gems nearby, as he seemed to busy trying to see where he was at the moment. ((Hey there! I figured it was time that Phoebus met Moneybags XD))

Hmm, there was a curious lack of customers today. Moneybags debated whether he should stay here a while longer, or set up a new scam somewhere else.
But then, as if right on cue, he thought he heard a voice coming from nearby. He soon spotted the speaker, noting the bright, polished armor they were wearing. Wherever they were from, they had the appearance of a traveler or adventurer of some kind. Which meant they probably had a fair amount of money!
“Good afternoon,” the bear called out from where he was standing beside a locked gate. “I couldn’t help but notice you seem to be rather lost. Well, as luck would have it, I just so happen to be selling, err... travel guides to the Worlds of Avalar! Would you like to buy one?“
*Two shadows lurk in the darkest corners and stare at the bastard known as Moneybags. One a tall, skinny figure while the other a short, rounder shadow. They both are holding shiny, metal weapons in a threatening position. They're not going to do anything with them to be fair, they just stand there like statues.*
The weather had been fairly nice lately, so Moneybags was taking a break from collecting fees and enjoying a pleasant walk. Or, well, he had been – right up until he got the unpleasant feeling someone or something was watching him…
After a cautious glance around, he spotted two weapon-bearing figures lurking in the nearby shadows. They seemed to be just… standing there, albeit in a decidedly menacing fashion.
“…Err, I don’t want any trouble, whoever you are. I’m just passing through…”
Ew, how could you date a spider girl? Spiders are so creepy, and gross.
“Okay, first of all, she’s a fluffsprite, not a spider. Secondly, I’ve decided that the best way to deal with any rude comments like yours is to start charging for them. You now owe me 50 gems.”
Appearing out of nowhere, the figure presented a bag. "Here is your 400 for the day, as agreed upon."
Not expecting the stranger’s sudden appearance, Moneybags jumped with a small shout, nearly dropping his bag of gems on the ground. Thankfully, he managed to catch it at the last minute before anything could spill out.
“You really should give some kind of warning before popping up like that,” he said as he straightened his coat. But with the crisis averted, the next payment easily claimed his attention, and he accepted it with obvious eagerness.
“Well, I’m happy to see you’re a man of your word. As am I -- the key is right here, safe and sound like I promised.” He patted the coat pocket he had stuffed it into reassuringly. “You picked the right bear for the job! ...Which, err, come to think of it... I don’t recall you mentioning how long you need me to guard the key for. Quite a while, I imagine?”
Or, Moneybags certainly hoped so. He was making a ton of money already thanks to this arrangement.
Wait, you have a girlfriend?! How did you, of all people, manage to get a GIRLFRIEND?!
“I don’t understand why everyone is so shocked about that,” the bear said, frowning with obvious annoyance. “For the last time, yes, I do in fact have a girlfriend. And before you ask, no, I didn’t bribe or blackmail her.”
