Sure, another round of rum-gummy milkshakes, and one for barry too! Tosses Fidei a small gold ingot-this should be equal to 25 silver...let me know when we have used it all up......have one for yourself on me as well :)

You know Tool, he's always on the make. ;)

Fidei, I'll have another Rose in Bloom and put a shot of rum in it. I have sent word to the Jamberry Velvet Coalition to make up a special line of cloaks in glorious colors, just for the SP. Here's a sample:

Thanks, Fidei. So, you'll let me know what you think and we can start in a few days.

*in a whisper*
Well...just between you and me, I found this really old trunk full of strange things in the DZ. When Nan and I opened the Altoids Cinema, we cleaned out an old theatre.
*looks over edge of book and smiles at a passerby*

So, in my office, there's this trunk. I broke open the lock with a screwdriver I found in a wallsafe, and lying on top of a black velvet dress, was this tiny key. It had GR inscribed on it, so I thought it probably belonged to one of the funeral parlor guys.

For days now, I have felt that someone was following me, and my bodyguards have reported attempts to break into my office. I was hoping if I gave the key to Fidei in a very public place that someone would make their move.

*studies Christie's face for a moment*

Do you know anything about the trunk or the key?

Hi FD,

My development manager sent me this proposal for your review. Our Capital city Mantra has some vacant shore real estate, that would be perfect for your operations.

As you can see in A6, there is plenty of undeveloped space and I will dedicate 40 acres. We would only require a subsity on the property tax of 250,000flow/a. Currently there are not any by-laws that should get in your way.

I am afraid not. I have not learned a whole lot about GR and A yet. I can say that there are some abnormal things that happen in the place, but I really don't know much about their history or methods. (However, I do think Mr. Grimm is really cute in a somewhat formal sort of way.)

So what else is in the trunk???

Well, the dress of course, a small animal pelt, wombat perhaps, a box of decorative scissors, a hookah of Burmese make, several paris of silk pantaloons, an empty picture frame, two or three riding crops and this...

**quietly pulls out a man's ruby ring, set in gold**

Unusual, isn't it? I don't recognize the animals in the design but take a look at the inscription inside.

"Forever Yours, QJ"

And that's not all. This is the box it came in

***shows C a small velvet box with the Jamberry royal crest on it***

That's what I was hoping you could help me find out. Just thinking outloud here...I am the namesake of my great great great grandmother....she did travel quite a bit...but I can't imagine...as far as I know, none of our family has ever been to the SP before. This ring should not be here.

And I am really wondering who might be following me and why? Somebody obviously knows I've opened the trunk. I am suspicious. My country was torn by war for so many years, it'll be hard to find records for these things in our archives.

*takes a deep drink**

How about the SP? Where would I go to find information of immigration, trade agreements...I don't know... :unsure:

TaH,
40 acres is perfect thankyou, the factory plans shall be drawn up slowly and work will begin.
Just one question, would there be anything to prevent me building a port complex extending from the shore line, and would I have to pay extra for any land I may, or may not, reclaim (i assume the property tax is in proportion to how much land I own, but would there be a flat purchase rate for new land)?
That's two questions isn't it? Maths lessons are paying off it seems...

Yes you can build a port complex and that is assumed in the propery tax. We will setup the infrasructure for you, so let us know how many occupants will be in the building, so we can size the sewer and water system accordingly. :)

Hey Fidei...just stoping in to say hello....how is business? Whistles for Phillipe and gives him a waffle cone of mint chocolate chip Ben & Jerrys. Runs her hands gently through Barry's hair, waking him from his dreamy state, then hands him a large bag, containing a rotisserie chicken, mashed pots and gravy an and steamed broccoli. At the bottom of the bag is hidden a small bottle of Wild Turkey and a king size snickers bar. Hope you like it....

So how have you been, Fidei...have not seen much of you around GR and A...honestly, have not seen much of anyone. Have you heard anymore about the expansion of the business???

*Barry enters to find bag loads of food (and alcohol), and Mitzy looking hopeful. He is wearing a musty, threadbare brown suit, with a dead carnation in it's pocket and an egg stained tie. Carrying a bedraggled bunch of flowers, he goes to Christie and presents them with a blush, then heads for his mat and begins devouring the food with relish. *

Thanks Barry....

Turns to Fidei and whispers...I think that is the sweetist thing anyone has ever done for me.....cause I know he is sincere.

Holds the flowers close to her chest and imagines how they once smelled when they were fresh.......

I just wish that there was something more we could do for him...does not say much but seems like a nice person, doesn't he???

Wow! That's Phillipe's favourite!
Business is going well enough, would like to get a few more stalls in though. That reminds me, Jammer, shall I set up one for your gorgeous cloaks?

Mmmm, sewers. I'll have to get back to you with the accurate figure, but I can make an approximation of 200 people. I'm trying to create as many jobs as possible for local people, so I have made the decision to limit the automation as much as possible (obviously the ferment-o-matic is required, but most of the rest can be done by hand, and will be a good selling point).

Yeah, I don't know whether he WANTS to be helped. I mean, it's a good little business for him so he says. And I would miss his company!
But I'd love to try!
