Getting the DUCC
"Kaita, is there anything I should know about Kite?" asked Kurapika.
"Actually, I do have a word of advice when it comes to Kite…"
"What?"
"I don't recommend using the term 'jumping' when you refer to Dimensional travel. He kinda hates the word…"
"Thanks for the warning…"
"Well, here we are!" said Kite.
Kurapika and Kaita sat down on one of the chairs.
"So, Mister…?"
"Kurapika."
"Mr. Kurapika. Kaita tells me that you wish to obtain a Dimensional Universal Credit Card, am I correct?"
"Yes."
"Have you read the booklet?"
"Kite, we just got here about ten minutes ago. He doesn't know anything about hopping, let alone what to do!" said Kaita.
"Sorry, old habits you know…"
"I know all about those."
"So, what kind of card did you have in mind? The usual version, the simple version or the discounted?"
"There are different kinds? What are the differences between them?" asked Kurapika.
"The usual version is what everyone normally gets. You get a certain amount in the account that you have to pay back using what we call Equivalent Exchange. Any currency can be used to pay back a debt."
"And the simple version?"
"The simple version is actually NOT so simple. We just call it that because it has the least amount of paperwork to deal with. Basically it's identical to the usual, the only difference being that the simple version has a higher amount in it. There's very little difference between those two."
"What about the discount version?" asked Kurapika.
"Ask Kaita. She has more experience than I do with that one!" laughed Kite.
"So basically my only options are a regular account with very little actual cash in it, a slightly larger account with the same rules, or the one with unlimited funding?"
"That about sums it up." Kite said.
"Hmm…"
"How hard is it for you to decide?" asked Kite.
"I have a question for you. Why do you get so irritated when people call dimensional travel 'jumping' and not 'hopping'?"
"Think of it this way; if someone told you to jump out a window, you probably wouldn't do it. BUT if someone asks you to hop out a window, then you'd actually consider whether it's a joke or not!"
"So basically what you're saying is that you don't like those who simply use it for pointless purposes and NOT actually trying to understand the universe better?"
"Woah…no one has ever figured that out before! I'm really impressed!" said Kite.
"So, is it possible for him to have the Smart-Hopper discount like me?" asked Kaita.
"Actually, it means he qualifies for something else! Something that hasn't been given, let alone offered in several millennia!"
"What do you mean?" asked Kaita.
"Well, this kid has accomplished the unthinkable and has unlocked the door to the fourth and most secret account balance!" said Kite.
"Huh?!" said Kurapika and Kaita in unison.
"Hang on a sec, I'll be right back. It's easier to understand when you see it and not hear about it second-hand."
