[dostoevsky]

Try calling it PE4.
Brown flower would work. We can bleach it.
Add hydrogen peroxide and vinegar.

What sort of "civilization" doesn't have thumbtacks?

8]

[unwrit]

I don't know. The kind of civilization where everything was destroyed about a hundred years ago and we all ended up living a lot of lies?

[unwrit]

And why am I out here doing your shopping

[dostoevsky]

That's no excuse not to have what are basically nails.

Nails will work. Little ones.

[dostoevsky]

It isn't shopping. It's begging and/or bartering.
You have the face.

[unwrit]

Don't remind me.

So that's my new part?

[unwrit]

[Also--]

I found your tiny nails.

[dostoevsky]

Of course you did. You're a natural.
Vinegar?


It's not a part.
It's running errands.
I can give you a back story for it if you want one.

[unwrit]

And vinegar.

I don't need a back story to run errands.

[dostoevsky]

Pirates have kidnapped your lover.
They want C4.

[unwrit]

No.

[dostoevsky]

You have a charming scoundrel of a brother who you'll do anything for.
He wants C4.

[unwrit]

Not up to your usual standards.


[because where is the lie

but congrats he almost laughed]

[dostoevsky]

[ That's almost good. ]

He has a wasting illness.
Last wish.
C4.

[unwrit]

My brother, the explosives enthusiast with the wasting sickness.

Little maudlin. Might get a small discount.

[dostoevsky]

Attaboy.

Five bolts and three cups of tea off the going rate.

I don't know how they've lasted this long without currency.

[unwrit]

Bartering is a currency.

Do we have five bolts?
