i collect treasure ama

[catpiper]

[ninjatortle]

What's a treasure you really really wanna see, but haven't found yet?

[catpiper]

[what if the answer's a talking turtle]

I don't know. I want to loot everything.

[Bad]

Have you found any treasure?

[ninjatortle]

I've taken a vow of poverty! Most of the shiny stuff I see ends up going to my friends.

Oh, but my friend bought me some wooden prayer beads! They're really special! Does that count as treasure?

[catpiper]

Yes, if it's special, then it's a treasure. That's how it works.

You don't keep any shiny things? You don't hide them?

[ninjatortle]

No, I don't. If I want to achieve enlightenment, then that means I can't let myself be tempted by material attachments. Walking the Way of Empathy means you have to be willing to give, even when it hurts!

...Which means if I find any shiny stuff here, I shouldn't keep it. Maybe I can give it to you!

[catpiper]

Empathy's in your heart. You don't have to walk to have it.

[This is confusing!!! Just steal things!!]

But okay. I'll keep that treasure safe for you and find things you like. We can 'trade.'

[ninjatortle]

Good answer! Maybe it's something that's in my heart, but muscles don't get strong unless you do a lot of hard work with them, right? The Way of Empathy wasn't a talent I was born with. It's a choice I make. Like giving away shiny stuff, even if it's really pretty.

...Trading sounds nice, though. Really, really nice! We both get treasures that way.

What's the best thing you've ever found?

[catpiper]

I found a phone with a person's voice inside-that was a very good treasure.

And there was a rock that looked like the moon. I liked that thing too.

[vagabone]

I think that's all phones, chiquita.

Do you still have that rock?

[catpiper]

Phones don't do anything. Sometimes you can press the buttons and they'll 'beep' or make a scratchy noise. Only the rare ones have voices.

[Let her EDUCATE you scrubs.]

Yes, I have that rock and lots of others. They're very pretty.

[vagabone]

No, phones are like the farspeech rocks! You can call people if you dial the right number.

[catpiper]

I don't think ghosts know how to do that. The numbers don't work anymore.

[That seems more complicated than a rock.]

[vagabone]

[Way more complicated and less reliable. Magic is cooler.]

...Good point, it's hard to push all those buttons if you can't touch anything.

[wanderingdoctorfaust]

The question is delivered via Stone of Farspeech, because not even the power of memes can repress Faust's respect for the brave girl.

Do you have a favourite drawing or painting you've done?

[catpiper]

Uncle Taako and I drew a mongoose and a cat on a house. That's my favorite.

[ohshitsweetflips]

What would you trade for a Rotel jar lid full of gemstones?

[catpiper]

[Wtf is a Rotel Taako????

Oh well. That's irrelevant.]

What color?

[ohshitsweetflips]

What, are you picky now? That's my apprentice.

[Nice try, Taako doesn't know what Rotel is either.]

Assume it's a mix, for the purpose of this pop quiz.

[catpiper]

[She was trying to figure out the correct seashell based exchange for this, but guess what? The answer was in her heart all along.]

Okay.

[The longest pause and-]

If someone isn't looking, I don't have to trade. I'll loot it.

[ohshitsweetflips]

Ren, you're a prodigy. Here's your diploma, and if anyone asks, you've always had these.

...[+1 Rotel jar lid full of gemstones.]

[catpiper]

[Fuck yeah this is the best meme day of her life. The answer is always looting. That's the lesson here. Look the reward?? Hot damn. It's So Shiny. ]

Since you're a 'prodigy' too, I'll give you one 'diploma.'

[Look, she's a generous graduate and while she pockets the rest because they've always been hers, she gives that chunky purple boistone back to him.]

You're a good apptaakotice.

[crosslaced]

How's Lobstar?

[catpiper]

It's very happy. I put grass by it today and it only tried to pinch me once.
