Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So I was approached by a guy (who shall remain unnamed) who asked me a favor of which was "dire". You'll see why dire's in quotations in a moment.

Thinking, "here's my chance to help someone out for real" I gladly listen. For whatever reason, the dude needed an orchid and garlic and hinted at where I could find it. That's when the questions start. If he knows the approximate area of where it is, why doesn't HE go look?

But I shrugged it off and found the things he was looking for. After plunking down 500 gold (thinking, "this better be worth it" wink , I head back to said individual with what he needed. All I get is a friggin' brooch.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like orchids, but c'mon! I could've done much better with blowing 500 gold. For now, I'm wearing the brooch as a reminder of why I need to stop helping people.
