The US Dollar or the Chinese Yuan? : The Real Currency for Travel
2023, and the economic giants are arm wrestling one another into world supremacy. Can the alliance of BRICS or Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa into using the Chinese Yuan instead of the US Dollar leave a dent on America’s economic might? The effects of these shifts of alliances and economic support is brought by the ongoing power struggle amongst the world’s power houses, but how…

The Undead Florist
Anon said: Basically, I just wanted Danny to deliver flowers to the Justice League heroes from his fans. If you can include Everlasting Trio. U can add whatever crack you think would be best! Thank you!
Clark is in the middle of blocking a heat ray attack from a robot that copies the powers of any Justice League member when the unexpected happens. A kid, no older than fourteen, boldly walks into the battlefield carrying a lavish bouquet of red roses and trigger lilies.
He's dressed in a worker uniform: light brown khakis, a black shirt with a light-born vest, and a black baseball hat resting neatly on his head. There is a company logo on the upper right of his vest but Clark does not recognize the stylized D.
There was a still moment when Clark's super speed could see the exact second Amazo spotted the child. The boy wasn't paying attention, staring at his phone screen, which had the faint details of a map, and had two headphones in his ear.
Clark's eyes widen in horror, and he opens his mouth to try to shout a warning—though he doubts the kid could hear him over the loud music playing in his ear—but before he can, Amazo flung out an arm straight at the kid's head, still pinning Clark down with a cheap version of his own laser ray eyes.
No! No, please, he's so young! He pleads mentally, frozen in horror as the robot's hand goes right through the kid's head. It took a solid minute for Clark to realize that Amazo's hand hadn't ripped through the skull of the child but rather had passed through him as if the boy was not physically there.
From underneath a black baseball cap, brim, electric blue eyes stare at Amazo. Gesturing vaguely to the arm going through his head, the boy frowns. "Rude much?"
"Access: Black Canary," Amazo says in response, his jaw opening wider as a super-powered scream is released, pointing black at the kid's face.
The frown on the worker deepens as the boy reaches up and- slaps the android in the face? "Dude, I'm trying to work. I have like eight flower deliveries today. Also, that was a weak imitation. This is a real Ghostly Wail."
He opens his jaw, letting out a sound that wasn't as loud as Black Canary or Amazo but somehow worse.
And the sound—the unholy screech that releases from the child sends Clark to his knees, quivering in his boots as Amazo disintegrates right before his eyes. The only thing left of the android is a smothering pair of robotic legs that fall over with a loud thump.
The boy huffs, paying no mind to the fact that he took out the enemy the league had spent the last six hours fighting before Clark tried to lure it away from the city. He merely glances back at his phone, following the little moving icon on the map until he stands before the fallen hero.
"Hi! Are you Superman?" The kid asks in a polite, chipper tone. It's such a whiplash change between his normal voice and his customer service voice that it sets in. This is really just a Tuesday for him.
Clark opens and closes his mouth with a weak "Yes" and is pushed out.
The kid's smile grows as he pushes the flowers into his arms. Clark nearly drops the vase, scrambling to get a good hold of them as the kid pulls out a harmonica and plays a little jingle. It sounds like a mix between Happy Birthday and Ring Around the Roses.
Once he is done, the boy holds out his arms wide open and loudly proclaims, in a very obvious Transatlantic accent, which makes him sound... rather otherwordly: "These flowers are sent by your fan Kattie Longsmith in Metropolis, wishing to thank you for rescuing her mother and brother from a fire. She wants to remind you that she is your biggest fan and hopes you have a lovely day. Thank you for selecting the Undead Florist as your means of flora travel!"
With a theatric bow, the boy blinks out of existence.
Clark is left kneeling alone in a destroyed cornfield, beating black and blue, while holding a vase of lavished roses and lilies. He is unsure how long he will stay there, trying to process what he just saw as the Batplane flies onto the scene, Bruce jumping out of it with a cry of his name.
Batman growls upon taking in the scene before his friend rushes to his side. "What happened?"
"I ugh...I got a flower delivery." He manages to utter, eyes still trained on the spot of the strange kid.
"What?"
"Trust me, I'm as confused."
It turns out that Clark's delivery is not an isolated incident. Over the past three months, various Justice League members have reported similar interactions with the Undead Florist.
Flash got a bouquet while trying to stop Captain Cold. The kid had wandered in the middle of a fight, unfreezing the speedster to hand over yellow lilies and sunflowers from a little boy named Teddy Smith in Central City. He had melted the freeze ray that was shot at him while Barry was in the middle of a panic, thinking he would watch a child die.
One little jingle and message was delivered in a Transatlantic accent later, and the boy was gone without a trace again. Bruce had gone to the scene, trying to find anything that could give him some clue, but he disputed the clear picture of his face and the recording of his voice. Nothing about the boy came up in their systems.
Wonder Woman was next, receiving two large bouquets of roses from a fellow woman she had rescued named Trix Cooperman. Her jingle was slightly smoother jazz , and the message leaned towards romantic than gratitude from a fan, but the boy had delivered it nonetheless.
He also took out Cheetah with a well-placed punch, highly impressing Diana. He had the makings of a warrior.
Then Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Martian Man Hunter, Batman, Martian Man Hunter, Hawkgirl, Aquaman, Zatanna, and surprisingly Vigilante each got their own flower grams.
None of them were able to get any information about the child, seeing as he only appeared when the members were in the middle of a fight, which was driving Bruce mad.
Of course, they had tracked down all the clients but met a dead end when each claimed they had never placed an order with Undead Florist. Even when Diana was holding her rope, the people gave the same answer.
They had no idea why Undead Florist was delivering flowers in their name or where the message that came along with the flowers appeared from. The chilling part was that the messages did actively represent their emotions and feelings towards the heroes, but how the overpowered child knew that was left unanswered.
The other thing that bothered Bruce was that the Undead Florist only appeared when they were in battle.
"Maybe it's because he doesn't know how to find you otherwise," Nightwing suggested at the Justice League-wide meeting.
"He uses a GPS that is locked into the heroes." Batman grunts, not dismissing the suggestion but challenging it, which causes his eldest son to shrug.
"Undead could be following online tips or something. It's not like the Leauge is seen just strolling around the cities, but people tweak when they do happen to see us."
"We could test that. Have a group of heroes just relaxing at a cafe or something. See where he appears and if there is a pattern after monitoring social media." Red Robin suggests, rubbing his chin.
Batman considers it before nodding. "I shall divide the teams."
The Justice League goes out, doing as instructed, and sure enough, they find the Undead Florist appearing more and more. Red Robing happily puts together the pattern, pointing to social media generated by the younger generation's demographics.
Undead Florist is an actual teenager using DCtweets to find heroes to bring flowers to. They have enough proof of that to show he's harmless if one ignores his more than impressive battle skills.
"Now all we need to do is catch him," Clark announces. "We don't want to scare him, but the Justice League really needs to know how he's doing all of this. It could be a security risk."
Meanwhile, Danny chills in his haunt, watching Sam tend to the flowers in a large greenhouse he placed for her. Tucker is typing away on a ghost zone-powered supercomputer, looking at all the Soul orders their business is getting.
The Ghost Zone didn't have a formal currency; they had Deals instead. Even small unconscious deals—like wishing on a shooting star, throwing a coin in a fountain, or sending a prayer or two—could be turned into deals if a higher being encountered them.
Luckily for those people, Danny and his lovers are very kind higher beings and choose to complete their requests in a way that satisfies all of their obsessions without stealing souls.
Sam got to spread her greenery across worlds, Tucker got to spend time with tech from different universes and Danny was able to explore and protect the souls of humans.
That Danny could exchange these Soul orders for gold was no one business but their own.
"Ohhh, another order, Red Robin, from Universe Nine!" Tucker crows. "It's roses in the shape of a heart from Kon-el. Aw, he's in love with his best friend!"
"That's sweet." Danny smiles, leaning over his boyfriend's shoulder to read the message he must memorize when he struts into Gotham. "I know how much fun dating best friends is."
"Let's help those losers confess then!" Sam calls, raising her hands as roses of various colors burst to life around her.

the items that vash kept in his coat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
a "funbari doll" (which i cant find anything definite online about what that is with just a cursory look, so im going to run under the assumption that theyre some kind of collectable in-universe) & it's a red one, which is apparently rare. he still has the same pen radio that connects to his earring that's used waaay back on the sandsteamer. a swiss army knife, a random key, a used tissue (?), and...
Tumblr media
a lighter? blow torch? i still cant tell what that last bar thing is tho. & i guess he had some kind of (normal) coin too? but Only One.
love the characterization implications for this lol. definitely the kind of pocket contents i'd expect from a silly immortal with a big coat

The evil government are planning to rip all our hard earned money that’s why, 2nd largest Bank collapse in American history! After a 30 billion investment from 11 banks a month ago now and you still regard it as a joke right!
Don't wait to fall victim to the crash, Don't be deceive the banks aren't happy we are doing this because people are converting all their money every day to XRP and XLM, the bank might tell you it's a fraud because they don’t want to go bankrupt, don’t leave your money with them no matter what Patriots, QFS is the future.

O SHIT
i figured it out
(i think. i don’t have any books in front of me rn so i could be misremembering)
So, I was always kind of confused with the sequel-bait job offer at the end of Exit Strategy. I was thrilled with it because I am fascinated by Don Abene and would love to see more of her, but how did GoodNightLander Independant know that Murderbot was affiliated with Preservation? All the stuff on TRH probably got a bunch of press but I don’t see why they would necessarily connect it to the stuff that happened on Milu, other than GrayCris being involved but GrayCris was involved in a lot of things.
At the end of All Systems Red, Murderbot breaks into some lockers and steals a jacket and a bag. It puts on the jacket, and rolls up the Preservation uniform jacket it was wearing and puts it in the bag. I can’t recall the bag being mentioned at all in Artificial Condition, so probably nothing was removed from it. In Rogue Protocol, when its hiding in the locker, it takes the memory clips out of the bag and puts them in its arm and leaves the bag.
-
This is the part where I actually went and picked up my copy of Exit Strategy and realized that it explicitly mentions that Murderbot takes the bag (and presumably the contents) with it when it leaves Ship, which busts my idea that the security team who searched the ship found the bag/jacket and GI put two and two together from there. BUT this means that it kept the PresAux jacket all this time 🥺
-
And this is the part where I realize that not only does Murderbot have its original bag with the jacket in it (this is an assumption but again, if I’m remembering this right, and I don’t have a copy of Rogue Protocol on hand to check, the original bag never left Ship so once it’s back on Ship it must have the bag or at least know where it is) but it also has Wilken and Gerth’s bag with the ID markers and currency cards. Only one bag is mentioned in Exit Strategy. Which one is it?
I would guess that it was the original bag. Since Wilken and Gerth were known to have traveled on Ship, having their bag on board wouldn’t be incriminating for anyone but them and its not like Murderbot couldn’t just take the things it wanted out and put them in its own bag. Which yet again means my original theory/idea/realization does not make sense but it does mean it kept the jacket. It might still have it. Where’s the fic about that
-
EDIT: NO i figured it out for real - it’s because Murderbot told Abene to look up the newsburst from PortFreeCommerce about GrayCris murdering people on a survey planet! The lawsuit! That Dr. Mensah is all over, with lots of speculation and press about the ~*~mysterious missing rogue murderbot SecUnit~*~. If Don Abene were following that story at all, she would find out about Dr. Mensah escaping/being rescued with the help of a SecUnit. The timelines would match up, it would explain a lot about Murderbot’s behavior and the whole Rin thing. Of course she knew where it came from.

The Basic Principles Of 베트남 가라오케
기본적으로 외국자본의 유치를 국가 정책으로 내세운 이나라가 주요한 관광 소득이 되는 관광객의 매춘을 정말로 금하려고 하겠습니까? 하노이 황제투어 하나부터 열까지 몸만 오세요 하노이 황제투어!! 하이벳김실장 물론 이러한 에코걸들이 마냥 일반인이라던지 그런 분들이 있는 것이 아니고 업소쪽의 사람들이 꽤나 많이 있기도 합니다. 베트남 치안은 동남아 중에서도 ㅆㅅㅌㅊ이다. 저녁에 한국같이 돌아다녀도 전혀 문제없는 국가임. 물론 퍽치기나 소매치기는 조심해야 하지만 깡패라거나 강도사고는 거의 없음. 기대와 아침일찍이라는 부담감에 한숨도 못자고 인천공항으로 가서 기존에 봤던 친구와 베트남 베트남 황제투어 에스코트 행복과 힐링을 찾는 그대에게 황홀한 여행이 기다립니다 만약 매일같이 같은 사람이 있는것이 싫다면 하루 하루 새롭게 에코걸을 바꾸면서 본격적인 황제투어를 진행하는 방식도 있습니다. 이렇게 하면 하루 만나고 하루 바꾸고 하는 식으로 다양한 타입의 친구들과 하루하루를 즐겁게 보내는 것이 가능하다는 장점이 있죠. 사실 일반적인 베트남 여성을 만날때 손 한번 잡는 것도 너무나 조심스럽습니다. 바로 집에 인사하러 가야 되는 경우가 생기니까요. 베트남 환전 집에 인사하러 가야된다는 그이유보다는 손 한번 잡는다는 의미가 그 아가씨에게 어떤 의미인지 알기에 너무나 조심스러울 수 밖에 없는 거지요. 너무나 순수하고 때묻지 않은 이곳 아가씨들을 만나다 보면 가끔 이미 타락해버린 제 자신이 부끄러워 질때가 많습니다. 아무리 생각해도 돈을 주면 그 애뜻한 서로의 감정이 깨질것 같다 싶으면 그래도 말하기 나름입니다.
