Considering Sollux's eyes are solid blue/red and Equius' eyes appear to just be blue, her eyes aren't that creepy, honestly.

[smjjames]

We've never actually seen Equiius eyes though, just the blue shadows under them.

[Soadreqm]

Still though, I wonder why exactly Dave sent her that much. Especially since they may be past the point where they don't need boonbucks/boonbonds or can't use them anymore.

Because she told him to. Six hours in the future.

[Deteramot]

6 hours and 12 minutes, I believe.

[Duke 2.0]

 Although she said to only wire her 413, not 413,000,000,000,000,000,000.

[Cthulhu]

413 boonbonds though, that's how the denominations work.

[Duke 2.0]

 Dammit Hussie, you gotta define your terminology here.

[Jim Groovester]

Something I just noticed.

On the page with the smellovision Prospit, the moon has seven towers. I was wondering who Sollux was shacking up with since I thought there were only going to be six and they were all occupied, but I guess he's got his own.

I can't remember if this detail was always on that page or not.

[Soadreqm]

1,000,000 boondollars is a boonbuck.
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 boondollars is a boonbond.
Since Dave suggested sending Terezi "an even boonbank", I'm guessing that's 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 boondollars.

And I think we all know that Hussie will NEVER define the terminology. He will trickle out the words as he needs them. As entertaining as the troll romance exposition was, I don't think he's going to do another one for Sburban economy.

Speaking kinda seriously, consider the following.  The trolls acquired enough game-money to buy all the best "fraymotifs" for twelve players.  413 'boonbonds' is enough to make the blind girl go bugged eyed.  That kind of denomination doesn't sit around doing nothing in a story where practically ever object or term ever mentioned finds a use somewhere.

Man, why do so many nameless companies want money for a gif editor, that's retarded.

[Soadreqm]

I thought about the money too. The trolls had twelve players (some of them already fairly wealthy in case that matters) adventuring for like six hundred hours, and they got all the best fraymotifs that boondollars could buy. Terezi thinks that 413 boonbonds is an absolutely preposterous amount of money. Dave spent three days in one day traveling through time and making the stock exchange his bitch. 413 boonbonds is apparently small change to him. Just how much does he have? What could he possibly use it on?


IDE/THEORY: Dave will buy Derse.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

From who!? The queen's dead, and I doubt Jack has any intention of doing somthing that doesn't involve mass murder.

Infinite money exploits are awesome, aren't they.

From the in-game marketplace, dummy.

Also,

There is still some presumption in that breakdown though. 1,000,000 boondollars = 1 boonbuck, but there's nothing to suggest they continue to group in clusters of millions. They could progress in clusters of thousands after that.

The fact that a mint logically sounds like a larger denomination than a bank, thus eliminating banks from occupying the leftmost digits, is the strongest evidence for this. It also makes sense to group by 1000's in larger denominations since the figures become so astronomical.

Spoiler: Referring to this (click to show/hide)

Of course that horse-loving internet hobo can't just TELL us which is which. That would be FAR TOO SIMPLE.

[Deteramot]

I think it logically goes dollars, bucks, banks, bonds, mints. Mints seem, as big lips said, like the largest of those denominations. We know bonds have to go where they are in that diagram, because of the words of Terezi in the most recent update. And it does make logical sense to continue changing terms by millions, because it makes sense to keep things simple. We have thousands, millions, billions, trillions, quadrillions, quintillions, and so on. Because the term for Boondollars changed to boonbucks at 1 million boondollars, it makes logical sense that boonbucks will increase to the next stage at 1 million boonbucks.

Wait. Why am I trying to apply logic to Homestuck?

The answer: WTS mated with WPS mated with WFAHW.
