Hey people. All this nonsense talk of dreams aside...

I'm looking to hire some one for a few hours, light work, nothing illegal, at least its only vaguely illegal. You're end of the deal would be on the up and up. Must be a good shopper and willing to look the other way.

[ All this typed up on one with one hand while he wrestled a small girl he had tucked up under the other arm down the sidewalk and right past the world's least observant cop. She was tiny and wearing only a potato ack that had been fashioned into some sort of dress, a street kid who even while she was being carried away very few paid attention to. ]

Oh, also female. Very important that you have to be female. It will never work if you aren't. I've tried.

If you are interested send a prompt reply otherwise I'll have to think up something else.

It would be better if I snagged them than the cops. They would never get a fair shake.

But the older boy might want to punch my lights out.

[desperate_times_right]

Better you than one of the syndicates.

The older one probably does want to punch your lights out, but you didn't take his money.

[serpentinthegarden]

True. I can tell him where you live and then he could punch your lights out.

[desperate_times_right]

Sure, he can try it.

[serpentinthegarden]

Eh, better not... I wouldn't want to scare off the potential adoptees.

[ The old couple they were going to try to slag Annabelle off on. ]

Let me know if you see those other brats around anywhere? They have taken up a new hiding spot since I snagged this one.

[desperate_times_right]

Of course. Do you think your current victim will give up her compatriots once you've given her enough cake?

[serpentinthegarden]

I'm not sure she knows where they went. Whenever she runs off she ends up going back to that same alley we found them in.

[desperate_times_right]

Ah. Maybe the boys cut the girls loose after they couldn't catch us.

[serpentinthegarden]

If that's the case then that other girl should be easier to find.

[desperate_times_right]

Yeah, it's tough out there for a girl on her own. If I spot her, want me to grab her? Or do you have a system?

[serpentinthegarden]

My system is find them and grab them.

[ Its very well planned! Working out the details on the fly seems to be panning out alright, no need to change anything. ]

Just watch out you don't do it in front of a cop who actually cares.

[desperate_times_right]

Another advantage of being a woman for this. I think if a cop sees me dragging a screaming kid around he’ll just assume I'm a bad mother.

[serpentinthegarden]

Yeah, good point. You look the bad mother sort.

[ To a cop.. if she had a screaming kid... ]

Let me know if you end up snatching any of them.

[desperate_times_right]

[Hey, there's a reason she doesn't have children]

Thanks. I can probably keep one or two at my place for a couple of days but a quick turnover is better.
