002 // That's Progress!

So I've gone and gotten myself a job, if only because Starkyboy refuses to pay for my groceries and the amount of tea boxes I bought yesterday could be tied together to form a raft and travel down that river we're sitting on here. Nevermind that you'd want to be within five feet of it, and it would be a waste of perfectly good tea, and cardboard boxes can't float... Nonetheless, my point still stands.

To pay for food, drink and ammunition, I've had to sell my soul to the ruthless system of dispatchers and collectors. I've no idea what my wages will be, as apparently they'll vary by how many customers I pick up per night. Well, I suppose if I'm to get involved in this bloody city I might as well be something that it's famous for.

Oh, and one more little thing; this is completely under the table, and my... Boss would be furious if he found out, but... I'll be giving special discount to supers. If you've got the tags (or, like Fuzzy, had them and tossed them), your ride will be rather cheaper. So give this a buzz if you need me, and if I'm around town I'll pick you up.

I've asked the boss, and he says I can't have a novelty license plate. I'm putting together my arguments for him to let me paint the thing orange, but I'm not sure how well that'll go. I'll keep the wretched little checkers on the side, I just can't stand to look at that shade of yellow all day long. Even if I'm inside it.

Remember, boys and girls. Starting fee is 3.00, so you'd better have someplace in mind if you call.

They let you keep your shotgun in that thing, red?

I have to slide it under the seat.

and maybe a derringer down the front of my shirt, but i'm hoping not to have to use that

They might float if you leave the cellophane wrapping on them. It's a waste of good tea though.

And that, dear, is the face of true sin.

[greenarrowtoo.livejournal.com]

It is. It's been a long time since I met someone who was enough of a tea connoisseur that they could build a raft out of it, should a great enough need arise.

Frankly, I'd rather just drink it. However, the idea of steeping it in the riverwater here makes me retch.

And you are?

[greenarrowtoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The Boston Tea Party was a travesty.

That would depend on what name you're looking for. I'm the Green Arrow.
