The 750 Gems

The Rare Item Monday for Monday, April 6, 2015.

Now, it's time for the RIM commercial. I wonder where it'll end up this time! X3

So yeah. Enjoy! :)

Finny: Hey Duke, where has Sparkle been for the past few weeks?

Duke: Oh wow, I really don't know.

Finny: Wait. Did you take a "break" with her?

Duke: Who said I was with her?

Finny: So we both don't know where she is. Right?

Duke: I guess so.

Finny: So *glances at RIM on table from corner of eye* how about let's make a commercial that actually talks about the RIM for once?

Duke: *shrugs* There's nothing better to do. Deal. *shakes Finny's paw in an offer to handpawshake*

Meanwhile in a resort in the tropics is Sparkle at the outdoor pool obviously enjoying herself looking so relaxed.

Sparkle: Ah.... *sips strawberry smoothie* I think I actually succeeded in getting rid of those two. Ah, I love how peaceful it is here!

Servant: Are you done with that dish, miss?

Sparkle: Yes. Thank you.

Servant: *bows* At my service, ma'am.

Sparkle: You're the best! *smiles*

Servant: *turns around as about to leave* I'm just doing my job. *pauses* But that is good to hear. I better be going.

Meanwhile back to the boys.....

Finny: Wow, it's already been 5 minutes, and there hasn't been a single interruption from Brock.

Duke: *laughs sheepishly* Well, ah, I'm the one who usually interrupts the commercials. Since I started this commercial, I suppose things are different this time.

Finny: But don't you think it's odd? We haven't heard anything from Brock for a good 2 weeks now. 

Duke: What, do you miss him?

Finny: No. Nothing of the sort.  

Duke: Good.

Finny: Alright, I'm gonna click the "record" button again.

Duke: *nods*

The camera is now recording again.

Finny: The price of this week's RIM, the Rare Old Scuba Helmet, is priced at 750 Jamaasian gems.

Duke: *whispers* I think the public can clearly see that; you don't have to point it out.

Finny: *ignores Duke* Based off of my data, I have come to the conclusion that 750 gems must be the price of equal equilibrium for RIMs nowadays.

Duke: What the heck are you doing!?

Finny: Just leave it up to me.

Duke: *sighs* Okay.

Finny: *speaks loudly again* So where was I?

Duke: "Equal equilibrium"....?

Finny: Oh, that's right! *takes out whiteboard and dry-erase markers, and draws a graph with one line going up diagonally with one color, and one line going down diagonally with another color, and circles the area where the two lines meet* The prices below 750 gems prove that more consumers buy more than one of a single RIM, so the demand is higher. But this makes the business company of the RIMs have less profit and less quantities of RIMs. But the amount of the population buying the RIMs if they're priced above 750 gems, is far less. The demand and supply have to agree with each other to form a single price. And it looks that for the past several weeks, 750 gems has been that price. This is in a sense fair for both the consumer and the business, in economic terms. The price of gasoline is lowering. This--

Duke: That's enough, Finny.

Finny: --means the..... *locks eyes with Duke's* Oh.

Duke: It's alright, Finny.

Finny: Oh no! I forgot my train of thought about all these economic terms! *panics*

Duke: *sighs exasperated* Don't sweat it.

Finny: But... But.....

Duke: And besides, when did you learn all that stuff anyways?

Finny: Economics class.

Duke: That school crud?

Finny: Hey, school isn't crud! It's a place where we get educated. It's very important for our lives.

Duke: Miss Fox? I don't remember her ever teaching us economic concepts.

Finny: *face-paw* That's because she's our history teacher and not our economics teacher.

Duke: I never knew that.

Finny: *turns off camera so doesn't record* Did you ever pay attention to your school academics, Duke?

Duke: I was almost accepted. I'm a smart guy, Fin.

Finny: Athletics, yes. No question about that. But English? I don't think so.

Duke: I have you know that my public speeches can rouse a whole crowd.

Finny: "Rouse a whole crowd"? Of who? 7 year olds?

Duke: No, I'm pretty well pleasing. *looks all business-like*

Finny: What are your thoughts about the RIM, Duke?

Duke: They go very well together. Pink and purple suit a girl's fancy. But calling it "old" makes it less desired.

Finny: I have the same opinion about the RIM as you. *clicks "record" again*

Duke: That is it for this week's RIM commercial and analysis with Finny and me, Duke. Chapter 36 of Twinkle's Story will be broad-casted here shortly. Stay tuned! *stops recording*

So this time it ended up being a RIM commercial where they act all nerdy. O-O

Oh shoot, it's almost no longer Monday! >.<

Bye! :3
