[handelaar]

[Yeah yeah it's this guy looking - what else - grumpy. Though this time he takes a moment to light his cigarette before reaching forward and speaking.]

Read that.

[And suddenly there's a ping with the oh-so-creatively named file gardens.txt on the screen. No other explanation is provided; he's pretty sure it's straightforward enough. No stupid shit, they deliver, and they're always taking applications. That business taken care of he gets to the point.]

Rest of Agriculture - wanna have a meeting in a few days. Three days from now, 15:00, tell me if ya can't be there.

[A second to smoke. Puff puff.]

The people I talked to couple jumps ago - first batch is cured an' ready, if you payed for it.

[Batch meaning tobacco, but he doesn't explain that either. The cigarette hanging from his mouth probably makes it obvious.]

[[ooc info about the Gardens is right over here for the curious. and to the department - totally going to handwave that meeting if that's cool]]

[tumbleweeds]

Don't know why I wouldn't be able to be there.

[handelaar]

Thinkin' the lounge.

[Help him pick a location he's... not good with that... ]

[tumbleweeds]

Depends on what the meeting's for, I guess. Lounge could be good -- easier not to get interrupted there than the gardens, I guess.

voice.

[tofindthesun]

You could be more eloquent about it.

[...that's a yes he'll be there.]

voice.

[handelaar]

You think so.

[Skeptical.]

voice.

[tofindthesun]

You are old enough for it, I think.

[...PROBABLY.]

Where is the meeting to take place?

[sweetmotherofgod]

Damn it, I thought you'd given up on those.

[handelaar]

[And immediately, he looks annoyed, huffing out one blast of smoky air.]

No one else is.

[sweetmotherofgod]

[Not

the point

meetings are boring. She didn't mean she thought he'd given up on running them, she means having them at all. She dreams big dreams, okay.]

Jeez, take a breath. I'll be there. Anything we need to come prepared for?

I heard you're the guy with the goods.

[ she's heard nothing, but with Brian gone, she's gotta improvise ]

[handelaar]

[she's probably smelled it passing by his room from time to time, whoops]

Depends. Which goods.

voice; encrypted 80%

[cons]

Well I don't smoke cigarettes.

[stimulations]

Does this mean I'm off advertising and recruitment duty?

[He says it with a very amused smile, and completely fails (deliberately) to comment on the tobacco or the meeting.]

video;

[handelaar]

Didn't think you'd started it yet.

[Neutral expression, neutral voice, slightly narrowed eyes of the non-amused variety at the end.]

voice;

[jilt]

And when are you expecting the second batch?

voice;

[handelaar]

[The longest

suffering

sigh.]

Why -

[Which is cut off with another huff because he was literally about to say why me.]

[video]

[circumitus]

What do you consider payment for a batch?

[video]

[handelaar]

[He drums his fingers up his arm and twists his mouth, considers. From her? As far as he can recall she doesn't even own anything.]

How much you want? In - packs. If ya know.

[gothchicklit]

[ October's sticking with text more often than not these days because she's looks exhausted (is exhausted) and that means people questioning her about that and her having weird, quickly shifting moods. Texting's easier. ]

Some of that better be mine.

[ Since, you know, she's been helping out some. ]

voice;

[handelaar]

It is. Wanna get it or want me to bring it somewhere.

[andblockbuster]

Four whole sentences. What would the rest of us long-winded types do without people like you and Mute Girl to be terse for us?

[handelaar]

[Ha ha. But he'll take it literally and answer just to be an ass.]

Blab to the network. Go crazy. Not get anything useful done.

[See look how quickly he got all that business settled there!]
