Talk:Jacques Schnee/@comment-4010415-20180628052951

So, I had a random idea. If they really wanna show that Jacques cares way more about money than about people, they should do some worldbuilding in Atlas in a similar way to a random scene I thought up for some reason.

Basically, RNJRWBY go do some shopping, and they stop by a store that sells flowers, which is interesting since a frigid tundra is a difficult place to grow flowers. They end up on the topic of how the shop owner works very hard to nurture his flowers and uses fire Dust to keep his greenhouse warm and keep the water he uses from being too cold for the flowers.

This then segues into them talking about Mantle having been settled on an enormous deposit of fire Dust, which is what helped the people there survive, and now everyone in the Kingdom of Atlas uses fire Dust regularly (good way to bring WoR info into the show itself). Then, segue into the shop owner commenting that, since fire Dust is such an important product in the citizens' lives, the SDC has made it really expensive, starting a couple decades ago when Jacques took over. He then says that the SDC even targets businesses that try to sell it for cheaper. Ruby points out that this is a rude thing to do, since the citizens need fire Dust for the heaters in their houses, to keep from getting hypothermia.
