Erm... this is mainly a shoutout to Americans who know a lot about the British pound (or British who know a lot about the American dollar), but I have no idea how to spend and charge with it! If something costed 15 dollars in America, would it cost 15 pounds in Britain, or would it cost 7.38 pounds? Also, is there any word for "cent" or "penny" or anything like that which goes with pounds? I'm utterly clueless. If guests know anything about this as well, feel free to give advice.
I need to wise up on foreign currency... 0.o

One hundredth of a pound is a penny. Two hundredths of a pound is two pence.
As for conversion etc. One dollar = fifty pence roughly. So one pound = two dollars. Sure, it's not exact, but it's very close.
An item worth 15 dollars in America would be worth 7.50 pounds in England HOWEVER it is worth bearing in mind that America is, overall, cheaper, I believe. So don't be surprised if it costs you 8 or 9 pounds.
Hope that clears things up - are you planning a visit to merry old England?

That helps. I might visit someday, but the main reason I asked was so that I have an easier time using them on this site.
Thank you Nahi*hack*Loqua!

Ah, that's going to be completely irrelevant - I just stuck the pound sign there as a sign, it could equally read @155 or *155 or $155. Whatever. The amount things cost here in Ciel Noir isn't going to reflect what they'd cost in England or in any other country. Other wise I'd have to bump up the amount earned in posts massively.

Oh, okay. Erm... I guess I just made you waste your time then.
Ah well, xD The pound information will be useful to know. Thanks Loqua!
I am unable to think of you as Nahira anymore...

Heh, never mind. You're welcome.
And Nahira is most upset that Loqua has taken her place as lead character.

I think it's time to scratch her behind the ears. xD *pats Nahira on the head*
MAybe you could make her here or something? You did lift the restriction on wolves.

You'll get your hand bitten off...oh, too late xD
I did have Nahira here before, only as an elf rather than as a wolf. Cos that was her original form: evil sorceress. She loved it, but I wanted to introduce her to Anouba, so I made her a wolf.
If I create another character it'll probably be Izzi, a key character in the book I haven't written yet. She's a pixie =D She's also sort of a demi-Goddess, but...yeah, that bit's complicated. Stick with pixie.

If I make another char, it will probably be a son of Nemean Lion. I'm not sure if I'll make it be good or evil, but something's making me lean more towards good. I dunno, I guess sides don't really apply much on this site. Oh well, I like to do them anyways xD
*goes to surgery*
W00t! Robotic Luke Skywalker hand! Try to bite this off, Nahira!

*Sorceress Nahira waves her hands and conjures a small lightning storm over the robotic hand* HA! let's see how you like having a lump of metal attached to the end of your arm...

IF it's from the future, it's waterproof xD
What do you think of the Nemean Lion idea?

Waterproof doesn't mean lightning proof.
And I think the nemean lion is a good idea.

*attached a lightining rod to hand, shoving the end into the ground* There! Though now I can't move anywhere...
I was also considering a bear... Eh, I don't know. I'm not going to be making any new characters any time soon, though. Too many at the moment. If I do make more characters, they'll definetly be males, though. I'm kind of in the mood to try out male characters for some reason, though I haven't done it much before. That, and this site rather needs more male characters.
