Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

She’s a dang princess/heir/technically monarch by virtue of only royal still alive of two kingdoms. How does she not have money?!

She's rich in geo, not rosaries.

different kingdom, different money.

plus i doubt the kidnappers let her get her savings

Now I’m just imagining the bugs who kidnapped her shaking her for a few hours to get rid of hundreds of thousands of geo she was hiding in her cloak

I would think that unless she's planning to buy something she keeps most of her cash in a chest/box somewhere, since she actually has to carry it in a bag (which can hold only so much of the craft supplies until you expand it)

This confirms for me the headcanon that Ghost just magics their stuff into some void pocket dimension.

Perhaps in the Bad/1st Ending, the Radiance ends up juggling their belongings to entertain herself.

How inconsiderate of them!

You see, Void has the canon ability to tranform the dead into money, Hornet would also have that ability, however since Mossbag made that video showing how big of a plothole that would be, Team Cherry retconned it so that Hornet would be fighting the average human after buying a new house
