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.

I can do it, easy as pie. I just need a little cash to buy the, um, girlie things.

Who am I dressing and what's her favorite color?

[serpentinthegarden]

Never got her name, she's been too busy trying to squirm away, but she has a bit of blue yarn that she has braided into a bracelet. I would go with blue.

Naturally I will give you the money for whatever she needs, you buy the stuff, and then I will pay you double the original amount. Keep the receipts so we can keep this all on the level.

I'll stop by and get a good look at her so I'll know what size everything needs to be. Does that work?

[serpentinthegarden]

Probably a good idea. You can get a better idea of sizes that way. We are passing that coffee shop on sixth if you can catch us up there?

Oh and watch out for her feet. She's got a strong kick.

[ibiza]

Kids love me, Shades. Watch. I'll have her charmed in no time. She like chocolate?

[serpentinthegarden]

She's six. She would sooner rob a candy store for chocolates than a bank for money.

[ Clearly yes! What kid doesn't like sweets? ]

You're going to bribe her! I like the way you think.

[ibiza]

How else do you expect to earn a kid's trust in three seconds?

[serpentinthegarden]

I wish I had thought of that about five city blocks ago. It would have saved me a lot of trouble.
