Well... uh... this... shouldn't have come as a surprise :< He said that since the beginning, ten rupees a minute. I feel a bit upset that you ask me to change it now when you hadn't had an issue with it before. By all means, have a thief swipe it away, whatever. If you have a problem with the prices I have for Jira then please tell me before I carefully calculate everything so that nothing would be unexplained. And that was your rule, that nothing should be unexplained or else this would happen. In this case, everything was explained, so excuse me if I feel that is a bit unfair. Again, whatever. Have a thief run off with it.
Him just saying that and all those people actually forking over that kind of money are two entirely different things....
You also never made any mention of him collecting money whilst teaching them to dance and also beatboxing. I didn't say you can't have him sell at those kinds of prices. I'm saying it's illogical to think that many people would fall for such a scam and also illogical to think he'd be able to teach his dance while collecting money every 60 seconds, assuming people didn't want to just jump in during the middle of his "lesson". I'm sorry that you had to do all that math for nothing, but it's not my fault if you didn't logically consider how people tend to handle money on a regular basis. If he was capable of making that kind of money in one hour, I don't think he'd still be a simple merchant like he is.
Having a thief swipe from him really wouldn't be all that farfetched either. Especially if they're watching a guy like Jira rake in that much cash whilst, if you REALLY want to get technical, lugging around all that stuff you put in his inventory. I already had the discussion about carrying stuff. While Jira may be able to carry all that, it's unlikely he'd be all that fast with it on his person (if even able to dance at all). If he's got a wagon or cart with him, you never made mention of it.
And I haven't even gotten into the fact that your character just skipped ahead an hour whilst it's only been like ten minutes for everyone else. After 30 minutes (at most!), everyone who witnessed the light would probably have moved on, so he would have lost his main lead, which was "Ohh! Spooky light means danger! Better dance!" I mean, unless these supremely overpriced dance sessions are something he does on the regular. (In which case I refer, again, to my statement about how he shouldn't even be having to peddle his own wares with that kind of money. Heck, he probably wouldn't even have to pick his own nose-- he'd be the richest man in Hyrule.)
