Excellent, I'll have a drink waiting for you.

Dear Mr Magnolia,
Might I request the services of our esteemed head of security for my upcoming meeting? I do feel more comfortable with Mr Sin Chase around.

Many thanks,
Sir Devrij

Yes please bring the chap who can lift a Bison, bovine elevation is a particular interest of mine and I would dearly like to meet him and Colin the bull said he was charming.

He will not be there and if you do see him, which you will not, he will certainly not be coming to a an agreeable ending for the unfortunates he encounters. If you do see him, even briefly, you must look away.

It seems we're all in accord then. We're just waiting on Mr sin chase and then we can get started.

[FnG]magnolia · 29 Dec 2012 at 09:50

I believe he is in the area.

Devrij · 29 Dec 2012 at 09:51

Oh I see, it seems Mr chase will not be coming

.

So tell me Mr loam, what can you offer us? Keep in mind, we are not looking for so large a shipment as we have previously placed. The red laces fiasco has cost us dearly and we have more stock than we can handle. We need diversity.

LOAM · 29 Dec 2012 at 09:59

You're likely to be in luck as lollies, being a rare commodity will alway only be available in small quantities, say 50 at time max.

The lack of the Bison floater is a pity, but alas was to be expected. I have an associate en-route to a safe hou..Erm storage depot now where I have learned of a small cache of lollies that could be available today. As previously stated they will attract a premium and you will be looking at 5 SW monies per lolly.

[FnG]magnolia · 29 Dec 2012 at 10:03

Just because you do not see someone does not mean they are not there.

regards,
M.

Shall we dance? I always enjoyed you at your most when your hair was down and the wind was high. Those days, those glory days!

Should we dance again?

If we were to take all 50, I would expect them at no more than 3 SW per unit. If you can agree to this, then we have a deal, but 5 SW is just too much for us.

What else do you have available? I'm thinking hard candies, sherbert and the like. Perhaps you can put together an assortment, if you'll excuse the pun.

This is terribly embarrassing sir, but I seem to have received a personal email from you by mistake, and it has been sent out throughout the entire company! I won't judge you or Mr Beans, but I feel others may not be so discreet. I felt you should know.

Sincerely,
Sir Devrij

Dear Magnolia,

I am very interested in becoming part of your business. My skills - should you choose to accept them - are many and varied, and I do not wish to discuss them on an open forum. However, I have good reason to suspect that the cherry laces you purchased are counterfeit. If you would like to learn more, please contact me as a matter of urgency. Let us say that I am a chemist.

Regards, Shayper.

[FnG]magnolia · 29 Dec 2012 at 10:34

Good evening Devrij!

That didn't happen.

Did it?

My friends at Sudden & Moses will be able to best gauge your value.

Thank you for your enquiry and have an amazing day!

KR,

M.

p.s. Do you know anyone - what's the term I'm looking for here? - 'below ground'? Perhaps someone who can make something happen when nothing seems to be happening?

Speak to Sir Devrij if you do.

The lollies are secure, I've eaten one though.

I'm afraid so, sir. I might prepare a response just in case. This might not my place to suggest this, but I'm told Mr Chase is as graceful as he is strong, and we both know him to be discrete. Perhaps he would be a more suitable dancing partner?

Also, there is a rumour that our shipment of laces from Mr loam is counterfeit. We may need a man to look into this, and perhaps to inspect further acquisitions.

Speak to Sir Devrij if you do.

My value can be ascertained with a quick test. Simply hold a lighter to one end of a lace. If you see a blue flame, get back to me. This would suggest a high level of 2-methylbenzene, a chemical toxic in high doses. I am sure you would like to keep your customers alive.

As for knowing people below ground, I did mention many and varied skills.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

I'm sure you're on top of this Devrij and thank you for your open minded view of things. I will leave the second part of your message to your own judgement.

That is most unprofessional, but nonetheless we are grateful for the prompt acquisition of the stock. I'll be sending Mr Chase as well as a new member of staff, Mr shayper, who will be on hand as an expert to inspect the lollies and ensure everything is above board.

Many thanks,
Devrij

I believe that we may have a budding Khemist in our wake, a man who can make a difference, using ingredients even we don't understand.

Please prepare The Offer and have him sign by return.

If he does not sign then please ask Mr C to visit his abode at his own convenience.

Thank you.

Regards,

M.

I've agree it's prudent to take Mr shayper onboard. Mr LOAM has become very cavalier in his dealings with us, and I should like to be careful.

Mr Shayper, we'd like to enlist your services, and if you could prove your worth by checking our new shipment of lollies from mister loam, I've already arranged for Mr chase to escort you.
