Title: Rise of the Capitalism Fairies
"Quite frankly, I'm concerned about the development of our pixie settlement."
"Huh, what's the issue? They're coming along a lot faster than we predicted!"
"They tried to talk me into a compound interest loan."
"Then stop losing all your money in their casino."
"Yesterday they tried to sell me life insurance."
"Ours is a risky job, I'm surprised we qualify. Maybe I should have a word with them..."
"That's not the point, Ryu, don't you think they're becoming rather.... hyper-capitalist?"
"I'm sure all civilisations go through that phase."
"Three months ago they were little fairies flitting through the woods, needing rescued from hungry monsters."
"Fairies probably develop faster. Because magic."
"Okay but if that pawn shop tries to rip me off again I'm gonna borrow a birdcage and introduce the concept of fairy jail."
"Oh, they've invented prisons already. I keep finding debtors in there."
"And you don't think they need intervention?"
"At least I haven't had to pull any of them out of a gonghead nest for a while."
"That's because they've been hunting the gongheads to make fashionable handbags."
"Oh, so that's where they got the handbags from!"
"At least tell them to make one in human size."
