Ins-and-Outs, if you happen to be in or out anywhere, feel free to report. I imagine many terrible things are happening, and I'd love to have my day ruined by them.

Enterprising extraDiscworlders, feel free to entertain me before breakfast. I have a whole hour.

You're of the Ins-and-Outs company? That's a bit of a trip out of my way. All into Borogravia. Famous for its backwards...ehh.


Not important!

But have I got a deal for you.

Who's the one in charge?

[deshabille]

Slightly important. I take mild to moderate offense at that.

His Lordship the High Admiral, what does it matter to you?

[hopeisanewspoon]

Then I offer my most humble and sincerest apologies.

[Nope]

It matters because, should your Admiral take interest, I have the potential to make you - all of you - rich beyond your wildest dreams.

[deshabille]

I highly doubt both of these things. And he rarely takes interest. Unless you're interested in some interdimensional kidnapping?

[hopeisanewspoon]

I don't think I'd particularly like to be kidnapped, no.

But everyone likes money. Even kidnapping Admirals, I should think?

[scentbombed]

Fancy seeing you here, Mr. Lipwig.

[hopeisanewspoon]

I'm sorry, I'm afraid you must have me confused with someone else.

No trouble, I get it all the time. But I am not this Mr. Liphat.

[scentbombed]

I've always got an eye out for the man in the golden suit, Mr. Lipwig. Orders, I'm afraid.

[hopeisanewspoon]

Golden suit? Sounds terribly garish. I'm afraid gold isn't my color.

[Lie. Lie forever]

[deshabille]

Oh, you know this person?

[hi angua you dont remember me but i think ur gr8]

[scentbombed]

Know of, at least.

Did you say you're from the In-and-Outs?

[deshabille]

In what context?

I did.

[chaotica]

A whole hour. I'm flattered.

[deshabille]

Well, a bit of an hour. The rest goes to everyone else, evenly divided. Of course.

[chaotica]

I'm feeling a lot less flattered now.

[deshabille]

You've got four whole minutes left, you'd better start being much more interesting than you're being right now.

[chaotica]

Let's see. Ins-and-outs. That either sounds like someone's having a difficult time with intimacy, or it's one of those ridiculous names for groups of ancient soldiers.

[surfaceshine]

Always such a ray of sunshine, Dumpling, good goddamn.

Should I do a tapdance too?

[deshabille]

[Oh, no. Oh, no no no. Just when she was getting used to this, oh, gods.]

[She's fine.]

That would be acceptable.

[surfaceshine]

[He's oblivious. So. Business as usual.]

I'll try to remember that once I find my tap shoes.

[deshabille]

Nobody's called me that in a while. I forgot I didn't hate it.

[kissthatgoodbye]

Who says I have any interest in being entertaining?

[deshabille]

You do, or you wouldn't have said anything at all.

[kissthatgoodbye]

Maybe I'm just being contrary.

[deshabille]

That's a certainty.

Do you just wait all day for the channel to this place to open up, lad?
