I assure you, I have a number of redeeming qualities to counterbalance my more damning ones.

Appreciation of literature is one of these qualities.

Then I shall do my best to continue to produce literature for you to appreciate.

I've been reading something of your current obstacles. If you ever find yourself deprived of materials do let me know. I'd be more than happy to facilitate your work.

Consider it pre-payed. The reading material you've already circulated is really quite priceless.

If it makes you feel better, some of the bobbins I have in stock are very substantial.

For industrial textile work.

I'm sure you're industrial bobbin sized.

Of course, not about you.

Just about your exact doppleganger, what could his physical attributes possibly have to do with yours?

Well, considering the discussion of his behavior on page seven, I imagine you're one of the only ones on the barge who've seen so little.

What? I didn't get that far and-- you know what? Don't want to know. I like being in the dark just fine.
From: [identity profile] buywithme.livejournal.com
Being in the dark is the new enlightenment, all that "need to know" madness is the last generations game, we comrade, are living in the era of freedom!

Freedom from all those pesky streams of knowledge that will serve only to hang on and drag down your greater and truer soul! Reject all knowledge, all literature, all thought, and live in the blissful oblivion of your own making.

You don't have to explain yourself to me comrade, It's an admirable philosophy as far as I'm concerned.

Incidentally how representative would you say this piece of writing is of your personal tastes in the bedroom?

It's not my philosophy! You're just throwing words around and hoping some of it sticks!

From what I've seen? Not at all.

Comrade, right or wrong, you really don't have to explain yourself to me.

I'm the one person on board who happens to think you're always right.

I'll just put you down for the opposite of everything described here then

Sam has good instincts.

Oh, and as a free sample, a welcoming gift to the barge, and to breed a little good will considering your poor spirits, I'll give you some advice, no charge.



That clown is likely to attempt to touch you inappropriately!

"I the undersigned will freely deliver a non violent method of removing the make up from Prefects face upon reciept of any sharp objects within The Factories current limited inventory."

Flat ended screwdrivers my friend, they can be sharpened, and if you push hard enough they'd probably fulfill your needs, but they aren't in and of themselves sharp.

The Contract stands. No freebies.

TASTE MY LEGAL LOOPHOLE CLOWN BOY!

So in actuality you're not objecting to the deal that has already gone through, but rather simply threatening me. Kill me if you must, but never accuse me of voiding my own contract!

Let me tell you something about how I work Joker. I'm not some two bit corner store sweetheart you can muscle in on for protection money. Nor am I some hard ass Mafioso who'll give his friends better deals and reject his enemies. You had something I wanted, I had something you wanted, we made a deal.

I'm not here to hand out freebies to the nicest or the smartest or the freakiest or the strongest, or even the most deranged. I'm not here to be dragged down, as others might be, by the risks of selling weapons to murderers, or drugs to junkies, or anything to the people who hate me. I'm not here to make deals based on how much I like you or how likely you are to murder me.

I'm in it for the purity of profit. So If you there's something you want stop trying to scare it out of me and make me a damn offer.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but...

... It's not about the money. Not in any way you're able to understand. The purity of profit... of trading for something greater than you are first given, disregarding the futile and aging concepts of charity, preference, ethics, legality, respect, stripping them away to the bare bones of commerce.

It's almost spiritual.

Spend long enough at the top and you forget how simple it can all be. So Comrade, Brother, Joker, unless you can offer me something I want, I'm afraid you have nothing else to offer me.

You'll have to enlighten me some time, I'm always fascinated to hear another insight.

I'd hate to set a price you couldn't meet Comrade... but I could really use a pair of gloves, black, leather, definitely NOT fingerless. If you can't get hold of them then we can re-negotiate without too much trouble.

... Your philosophy on money is that we should start forest fires?

And while I suppose I could accept purple gloves if you have absolutely no other options, but dying leather is so much effort...

And you want a screw driver in return?

[Haha! Bless! Prefect is very strangely disposed towards Joker, because he scares the living hell out of him, but Prefect refuses, on principal, ever to turn down a sale, so he's just going to keep on interacting with someone who horrifies him indefinitely!]
