[don't worry classmate this won't be the end of them]

1. yes this is my font
2. it's a gachapon sort of deal so its not like Real gambling its just for funsies u should try it sometime u can get a neat guaranteed prize every 100 tries

[dereban]

[She doesn't know if that's a good thing or not...]

The fact that it's gacha of all things doesn't make it any better.

[starrypoint]

try it! give it a spin or ten! it takes merit points, so as long as you're a good student there's no loss whatsoever!

[dereban]

It's a net loss in merit points and no real gain! What if I need those for something really big?! Or an emergency?!

[starrypoint]

like what

[dereban]

A food emergency is a good example of one.

But there has been at least one time where things that are better than gacha have costed merit points that could be potentially much more useful.

[starrypoint]

oh i dont have to worry about that, my fans keep me well-stocked in the snack department ☆

anyway!!! u dont know until u try it!! gacha isnt supposed to be useful its supposed to be fun!!! one of my roommates got a rly pretty rock from it, like im talking a genuine gemstone, so why not give it a shot!!

[dereban]

Fans.....

And it's not my kind of thing, really. I don't like wasting merit points on useless things. Especially when I'm so low on them right now.

[starrypoint]

ur a mean girl, huh
not even wanting to support the dreams of a peer
theyre working rly hard u know?
the least u could do is do a single pull
the smile they give u for even doing that is like a thousand suns

[dereban]

[There is, in fact a bit of a lengthy pause between replies, about a tick or two longer.]

I wouldn't say that.
I have to look out for myself, too...

And is "selling gacha" really supporting the dreams of a peer?
It feels more like they're trying to scam you out of your merit points by providing something worthless.
I'm unfortunately not so naive as to fall for a simple cash grab that doesn't really help anyone in the long run. If I want to use my merit points on something, I'd rather it buy something that either can help myself or help the group as a whole in the long run.

[starrypoint]

u keep saying worthless and useless but ill have u know that everything they sell and pawn of like that brings happiness to the ppl that put their money down for it!!!
and if u dont like what u get just give it to someone else, bc they might be happier with it than u are
besides
a rock might come in handy u never know
some of them are rly good for skipping across the pool

[and then never seen again. he hasn't tried this yet but he knows for a fact there are some perfect skipping stones.]

[dereban]

I mean, if they enjoy rocks, sure.
It just isn't in my taste. And it isn't as if I know the person who's selling it and what their intentions are.

But do you really need to buy them? They're such common objects...
Like sure you can use it to throw it at something, but how is that more beneficial to me than some other things?

[starrypoint]

their intentions are good!!! i can pumice u that!!!
theyre super sweet and cute and kind and theyre a good person, they might seem a little hard to get along with because of their pushy nature but they really are someone i wanna help and want people to help them too!!
ill even buy a pull for u if u rly wanna be so stingy, baachan...

also rocks are nice to just hold and look at. it can be as simple as that

[dereban]

I'll have to meet them for myself, then.
But don't call me that?! It makes me feel like I'm a granny or something...

I'm not even old enough to be anyone's grandparent.
Sorry I'm not a simpleminded person.
