I'm so sorry to bother everyone again, but... um... I have a question?

[ Connie is himself for once when broadcasting, apparently feeling better and better about showing his true face to everyone. He's holding a bit of stick incense in his hand, absently twirling it. ]

Is there... is there any way to measure how much gold is in chroma? I have... the evil kidnapping foxes, they killed my ferret, and I need her back, but the spell is... it needs a component of incense, charcoal and herbs worth a specific amount of gold, and I'm not sure how to balance that in our... money.

[ He sighs, rubbing the back of his head and kind of getting the stick tangled in it. ]

I haven't actually done this without my master. Do summoning spells even work, here?

[ He really hopes so, he misses Grace a lot. ]

Huh. Sorry about your ferret, that really sucks. For what it's worth, summons do seem to work here.

[ we're just gonna... gloss over the part about casually raising the undead. that... that's fine ]

You can't estimate based on how much you'd pay for the stuff in gold? Say if you've got an apple, you'd pay 1 gold but it costs 2 demichroma here, that's a 1:2 ratio. Pretty simple math from there.

Oh, that's... that's a relief. Thank you so much!

[ It's a little less drastic than raising undead when the ferret wasn't a real ferret in the first place, thankfully. ]

Hmm... that's a good idea, actually. I'm not the best at math, but an apple might cost a copper the most, so I would need a hundred apples for a gold... is that right? Oh, I'm still terrible at math.

[ Good thing that counting with apples is a universal math constant. ]

[ oH NO it's a word problem, send help. if Connie has 100 apples... fortunately, Connie looks young enough to have somehow activated this grumpy old man's long-dormant teacherly instincts. ]

If you're not great at math, it'd be easier to find something common in both worlds that costs maybe 1 or 2 gold, some easy number like that. Then you'll know 1 gold = x amount of demichroma.

Best to count in demi I'd say since that's a tangible thing, and easier to wrap your head around than chroma in a way.

[ He might be 19, but he has babyface issues and could easily be younger.

This man makes a lot of sense, though, and he tries to think of something that costs as much as a gold.

Then again, things change from place to place, too. He bought a dirk once for seven silver and was confused that it cost two gold in a smaller place.

Money is weird, and he wasn't raised in a way that had him actually dealing with money until very recently. ]

That's true... I should look into that. Do you think this place buys gold? Maybe I can sell the gold, too.
