micronation: (and I'll let you help)

Six; Action/Phone

Hardware Store
[You can find Sealand wheeling a red wagon through the store, it being the most practical solution for carrying around four buckets of paint and a dangerously high pile of wooden planks. The wagon seems to be holding up for now, at least. He's studying locks.]

They need to have those cool locks like in the movies.

[WHERE IS ALL THE RETINA SCANNING TECHNOLOGY, 1950S.]

Library
[Sealand is getting a bunch of books on building things! Of course, since he's a young boy, it's mostly about bird houses and shop classes, but it's good enough.]

Phone
Hey, Seborga, where are you?

And are you going to be the one wielding the hammer?

[identity profile] is-an-island.livejournal.com 2011-04-20 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
You're going to hammer in your thumb.

And die.

Some ghosts have rather interesting stories.

Let's say I feel generous and let you build this... thing. You're going to let me watch you and make sure you don't horribly injure yourself too much. It's a good deal, so you'll take it.

[identity profile] is-an-island.livejournal.com 2011-04-20 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Because it wasn't a question.

Be grateful. I have better things to do with my time than watch you tinker around dangerously, like knitting my cat's sweater.

Of course I do.

Right off my coast.

That's rather irrelevant.

It's final, then. Come along, I'll buy these... things... for you.

[... picks up some of the wobbling wood]

I hope you weren't planning to walk the planks home.

Something reasonable, perhaps. But that was presumptuous of me.

Well, as long as I'm here, it'll be fine. Really, you just go around welcoming danger.

[fishing out his wallet] Yes, and this little wagon doesn't just scream inevitable disaster.

Is that all you need from here?

[identity profile] is-an-island.livejournal.com 2011-04-20 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
It might have spilled all over you. Don't ask stupid questions.

[muttering to himself and paying paying]

Not a bet I would have liked to win.

Get off that thing. Honestly, you'd climb up the walls if you could.

I'd tell you not to come running to me after you've broken your leg, but that's a given.

[gathering up the purchases] Now, show me where you live.
