[Children are mean. Like, super cute, but also super mean. But...wait. Wait.]

I'm not prostituting myself...wouldn't that mean I got paid?

[howdull]

If sex is how you see your worth, then you should definitely not value your services as worthless.

[In other words, yes.]

[lacecase]

What kind of things would you ask for?

[If you were a prostitute.]

I've never, like, been very good at pricing.

[howdull]

I've never had occasion to hire the services of a prostitute or prostitute myself, but the key is to know your economy. Money is useless here, resources are precious, you need to decide what each service is worth to you.

[lacecase]

Wow...that's a lot to think about.

[Well, it isn't, really. At least not for probably anyone else.]

I just, like, feel bad taking things from people, even if it's not unfair to ask for things in return. I'd rather get hurt having things taken from me instead.

[howdull]

Don't be an idiot, you're not stealing from anyone if a barter system is in place. Providing a service for goods or other services is a perfectly legitimate business model.

[ooc: Sorry for the wait, I've been on holiday without internet for a few days.]

[lacecase]

But what if I get business relationship confused with relationship relationship?

[These are important questions that Sherlock is clearly the one equipped to answer.]

[howdull]

Then you're a terrible prostitute.

[Seriously! It's the first rule of soliciting, not to get emotionally involved.]
