::So you're walking around town, that's nice, right?

Well you come across a fancy building labelled "Jupiter Loans Co. Ltd.". Inside you'll find a woman in a pantsuit who looks like Noriko, if she wore her hair up in pigtails. She's sitting a desk, which has brochures, a laptop and fancy pens, and a stack of black plastic business cards with an emblem of a stylized Jupiter on it.

Oh yeah, and a stuffed kitty.::

"Well, I don't need any money, but sure."

::Hands it to you. It basically says that the company sells cheap loans at affordable rates.

... You swear there's some rather nasty fine print though.::

[beastkingnaoma]

He leans in to try and read the fine print.

::From what little your eyes can read before giving into strain, basically the business has contractual rights to essentially take your apartment, your sofa, your dignity, and leave you wearing a barrel.

If you fail to make one too many payments.::

"Ugh, that makes my head hurt."

He flicks the pamphlet back.

[the8thmonarch]

Well, if we can help you in the future, I'd be glad to.

"I think I'd look for less uh. vicious all-consuming lenders."

[the8thmonarch]

We're only vicious if you don't pay!

[beastkingnaoma]

"I can't even read this fine print, it probably has a million more little traps in it. Evil."

[the8thmonarch]

I didn't write it.

[beastkingnaoma]

"Who did, your partner?"

[the8thmonarch]

Dunno really. And I don't really bother with finding out.

[beastkingnaoma]

"..That seems ...iffy.."

[the8thmonarch]

Why do you keep doing that?
