Summer Open Post As we know, I love my AUs and PSLs! I love exploring worlds and discovering how little changes can tumble and create big changes. My characters are top-leveled but feel free to add your own and let me know if there's someone you'd like! ♥

Sounds like my kind of meal.

[noreasonneeded]

I probably could manage the meetings buzzed, but I'll show restraint.

[callmeles]

Your restraint is noted. More council meetings?

[noreasonneeded]

Surprisingly, no. Well, one. The others involve investors and our mutual holdings, a representative from a rival gang regarding territory disputes, a check in at a few of my establishments, and meeting with Kesh regarding one of her current assignments.

[Even though she’s his spider now, he just can’t call her his Wraith. Not yet. Maybe not ever.]

[callmeles]

Then I see why a handful of cereal is all you'll manage. Stop by the curry pie place for some sort of meal. Even if it is potato and pea.

[noreasonneeded]

I like how you said ‘even if’ as though that isn’t the one I naturally gravitate towards. I see what you’re doing, Allison.

What would you like if I got anything later on? You can soak it in rum too, I won't judge.

[callmeles]

Who me?

Make that two potato and pea because it does have an excellent flavor. With or without rum.

[noreasonneeded]

I’ll pass the word along. They’ll probably ask how you’re doing, anyway. ‘Where’s your friend with the good taste?’

[This is the couple with the food stand who always wants to talk to him.]

I’m apparently a nice boy who’s too quiet and serious and needs nice friends around. Per them.

[callmeles]

Do tell them hello for me. I think about their curry pies when I'm not here.

They had a few parts correct but a nice boy?

[ She's teasing, she knows that he's nice to them. After all, as they've said before, always make nice with people who make your favorite foods. ]

[noreasonneeded]

I'll pass the word along. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

[Now that he thinks on it, he bets they can be frozen fairly well. He can send Les a box to keep stored.]

Trust me, I question their senses beyond cooking for thinking that of me. Silence is golden, I suppose.

[callmeles]

You can also let them know that I know people if they want to expand their curry pie establishment.

Well, they did have a couple of other things correct. Me having good taste and you being serious among them.

[noreasonneeded]

I’ll let them know.

I’m not serious all the time. Just most of the time.

[callmeles]

No, not all the time, I agree. But walking through the streets of Ketterdam? I can see it.

I know I am far more serious walking through the streets of Ketterdam and New Orleans than I am in your establishment and my place.

[noreasonneeded]

I rag on the merchers to their faces and steal from their pockets to replace wallets with turnips. They just don't understand good, petty, deadpan jokes.

[callmeles]

The appreciation of a good deadpan joke is truly lacking among much of the population.

I also appreciate that it's turnips you use.

[noreasonneeded]

Much like my sense of humor, turnips are also vastly underappreciated and deserve more recognition. I'm glad to help them along in their exposure.

[callmeles]

I'm glad the turnips have someone like you in their corner of the vegetable world.

[noreasonneeded]

Don’t start calling me a defender, now. I’m a businessman at worst, a thief at best.

[callmeles]

What about 'champion'?

[ She's teasing of course, unable to help herself. ]

[noreasonneeded]

Ugh.

I fight for others when it makes practical business sense to do it. Give me a gold medal and I’ll sell it rather than cherish it.

[There’s some fronting, he does have a heart, but it’s also true that he’s certainly not a hero like Alina. He’s never wanted to be. It isn’t what Ketterdam needs, anyway.

[callmeles]

As if I don't know that already. No, I'd give you waffles in the shape of gold medals.

[noreasonneeded]

Are you trying to tempt my belly into becoming a bigger person, Piper?

[callmeles]

Never.

We need your brand of championing more often. Someone willing to do things that no one else is willing to or able to do.

The champion of vegetable rights.

[noreasonneeded]

I’m gonna get you a turnip pie next time you’re here instead of a potato and pea one.

[callmeles]

Do you think they'd be good? Turnip pies?

Though the potato and pea one has become a new favorite.
