OFFICE HOURS

[didntgetdadslooks]

Got something you want to say to your good friend The Professor's Assistant? Come on in, don't be shy! Her official hours are daylight hours - girl has to sleep? after all, probably - but if you knock on the door at night she'll generally answer. Please just make sure to leave the in-game date and time in the header of your toplevel!

Yup. I already put in this week's shipment, but I can take something down for next week, if you want.

[bolderfell]

[He shakes his head.]

There isn't anything you want?

[didntgetdadslooks]

I mean... sure there are some things, but my job here is getting stuff for you guys.

[bolderfell]

I'm a thief. I take or I trade. In my world, someone offers goods for free? It's a trap.

[didntgetdadslooks]

In fairness, the guy I work for has pretty seriously inconvenienced you guys.

[ She sighs, turning towards the shelves. ]

Besides, I have a bunch of stuff here already.

[bolderfell]

[He follows her gaze, looking from object to object.]

...I have a big picture of a waterfall. That's some place on "Earth," right?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Oh, the Victoria Falls poster! Yeah, that's a place on Earth.

[bolderfell]

I don't want it. If I traded it to you, you could... hang it in the little room with all the tile. And the bowl you can throw things away in.

[didntgetdadslooks]

The bathroom? I guess so, sure.

[bolderfell]

Yeah, the bathroom. I guess. They're all the same, right? Yours, the ones in our rooms, the ones by the big door...

[didntgetdadslooks]

Uh... I guess so, sure. But those aren't exactly the places I'd think to hang a poster?

[bolderfell]

Whatever. Do you want it?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Sure, I can take it if you don't want it.

[bolderfell]

Great. It's a start. I'll get it now.

[He go!

...

He come back! Knock.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Come in!

[bolderfell]

[He enters with the poster rolled up in hand. He's actually pinned it neatly closed at the corners with a couple safety pins. Very professional.

He starts to hand it to her, but stops, lifts it away a smidge.]

There a limit on the goods we can ask for?

[Also, while I'm here, just noting for the record that the poster comes with another note inside: No surveillance here? Underneath, it has a little drawing of a toilet and shower, for clarification. Or maybe it's a suggestion to throw the note out in what is STILL, CLEARLY, THIS WORLD'S WEIRD GARBAGE CAN.]
