Magnolia's sweet shop : a strategy game of confectionery

Legally privileged and confidential
Memo from : Sudden
Recipient : [FNG]Magnolia


Dear Sir,

I'm afraid my colleague Moses has been absent as of late and is not anywhere to be seen. In light of this, and my expertise in sweetie tax matters, I would suggest I take over his role as well as any amount that you were compensating him and become sole counsel for the business. I will hire others as the need arises. This will lessen the number of people who have access to your trade secrets as well as the number of blood signatures required.

Please let me know your thoughts and I will draw up the paperwork.

Agreed.

On a separate note - I see that Mr Sin_Chase's services have been used extensively and are in great demand. I would suggest giving him a tax year end bonus and allowing him to recruit some soldiers in search of fortune and glory.

Kind regards,
Sudden

A wonderful idea and I will let him know that you personally recommended it.

My location of course shows as Nottingham as that is our base of operations. Sadly due to the nature of my organisations business we simply can't have dealing with a company that employs known members of the Confectionery Undercover National Taskforce, ex or not.

As is the unfortunate nature of the confectionery trade Mr Shayper can expect a visit from Colin the Bull. Make of that what you will.

Finally I would like to thank you for the cucumber sandwiches, they were scrumptious.

We're all busy people. So much to do, so little time! I can't help but think that it's a wonder we get anything done sometimes!

Work with me or I will make you disappear and you wouldn't want to disappear, would you?

Anyway! So much to do! Talk soon! Say hello to Mr Beans if you get a moment.

What a piece of work is a man, How noble in
Reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving
how express and admirable, In action how like an Angel!
in apprehension how like a god, the beauty of the
world, the paragon of animals. and yet to me, what is
this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; no,
nor Woman neither; though by your smiling you seem
to say so
 
I remember when we first met and you took my arm, guiding me, leading me into the dance.

"This is a Foxtrot," you said but I could barely hear you, my mind filled with shapes and colour. With you.

"My name is Beans," you said and I knew then that this was how it should be.

"I will buy you a sweetshop!" you lied and that is how it begun, how this began. This empire, this empire made of ******* dust and lies! So much deceit.

I still have the picture.

I still think of you.

I still.

Set a time and date and inform me of meeting in the same way as normal. A single lit candle in your bedroom window after 1900hours and the porchlight left on.

PS - Edrof has been introduced to some 'medicine'. He is what you could call, recovering. I can also confirm everyone had a pleasant day, although I was not actually present. Shipments are placed in the loading bay of the main warehouse awaiting quality checks, booking in and distribution to relevant retail avenues.

Oh, Mr Chase.

You never are present and I imagine if someone were to to pay top SW for someone who made the bad people go away, they would expect not to ever see them.

I enjoy not seeing you.

But there is one thing. A request.

A single lit candle in my bedroom.

At your service, sir.

[Side mode] you are quite mad mag, I mean don't get me wrong I love you but you're quite, quite mad. I fear this window into your mind is actually making you madder :p [/side mode]
 
I do apologize, I was called away on some urgent dream related business and was preparing for an upcoming trip. I am now at your disposal. I will however be traveling so please excuse any delay.
 
Mr Sudden,

Good of you to finally join us. How delicious.

If something were to happen to me, something unintended by myself and unforeseen, something involving fireballs - who knows! - then you must open the box.

Look after him.

I have a little something for you. A nonsense, a triviality, really.

Imagine you're dancing and the room is packed, filled with strangers.

"Foxtrot?" he asks and you nod, unsure.

What would happen next?

What do you think would happen?

What do you think did happen?

Not to worry. In the event of such an event, I will have a will ready.

As for your questions...

1) you would do the fox trot to end all fox trots, with e entire world watching.

2) a fox would come out, trot and let you know how it's done.

3) you said yes. You would dance. He would try to kill you with a poison needle when you got distracted by the beautiful woman at the bar. You would retaliate in grand fashion. A fight would ensue with both sides calling for backup including via supernatural means and the ghosts of those long past.
 
So what is the current status of the profits made?

Devrij, when you get some time ... a request has been made.

Downplay the success, please.

Please do check with Sudden prior to publishing.

Thank you.

I feel unwell and won't be responding to any further emails.

Carry out the plan. Good night.

Ensure he knows that I did always and always do love him.

How we danced. How we danced. How we danced.

How.

We.

Danced.

p.s. Mr Sudden - please make him open the box, the Foxtrot box. In your own time.

Certainly sir. Are you well? You've seemed... distracted... of late.

Mr sudden, having examined the profit and loss sheet in response to the external enquiry, I fear that Mr Magnolia may have had no need to instruct the downplay of our success. The truth is, we are in massive debt. Having purchased thousands of questionable red laces, traded much stock, hired numerous staff of ranging expertise, we have made only one small sale to date! Mr Magnolia must know. It's the only explanation for his odd behaviour of late. Is it true that he has been discussing wills with you?

I think it is only prudent that we prepare the company for liquidation immediately. If Mr Magnolia objects, I will have no choice but to call a vote of no confidence with the other staff. How long has he been hiding this from us with his extravagant dancing parties?! That poor sweet man, I suppose he only wanted to let us down easy.

Let me know when the preparations have been made. This charade has gone on long enough

Regards,
Sir Devrij Toppobottomus
