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?

[in the hardware store idk so what if england hangs out in hardware stores it's where all the cool kids hang]

... Why do you need locks?

[micronation]

[...Oh, Hong Kong wasn't making up that he was here to scare him. He jumps about three feet.]

Super important country stuff!

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Really, now. I don't recall hearing anything about this.

What are you planning to lock?

[micronation]

That's 'cause you're not a super important country.

[Sticking his tongue out.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

True, because it wasn't like I was an empire or anything like that.

Are you plotting something?

[micronation]

Like a thousand years ago or something.

Classified information.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

It's not classified to me.

But it's not like I really want to know. It's likely something extraordinarily petty and boring.

[micronation]

Nope, it's really cool. It's for giant robot attacks and other stuff you can't know about.

[Serious concerns.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

That's stupid. This whole thing is probably utterly and entirely stupid.




But if you tell me what you're doing, I'll give you a sweet.

[micronation]

[...Hmmmmmmm.]

What kind?

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Butterscotch.

[micronation]

I want two.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

One.

You need to think about your teeth.

[micronation]

My teeth think they need two.

[Putting a super heavy-duty combination lock into his wagon.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[eying with unbridled curiosity...]

Your teeth don't think. Do you brush them every morning and every night?

[micronation]

Yes. I'm not gross.

[Moving down the aisle

to where all the electrical wiring stuff is.

What could go wrong.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

[pulling him back by the collar]

If you're not telling me what you're doing, you're getting nothing at all.

[micronation]

Hey! [Squirms!] I'm making a base for the defence of Sealand's territory from robots. And Russian spies. And people who climb his house or look in his windows.

[This happens more often than you'd think.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

I'm sure this Sealand fellow can take care of himself, and doesn't need your involvement.

You're not going to stick your fingers into all the sockets and electrocute yourself. [shaking him a little]

[micronation]

Sealand is Sealand! Let go!

How am I gonna dump boiling oil on people if I don't have a stove?

[This is the most obvious thing you should feel bad for not having considered this.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

You're not going to do that! What era do you think you're living in? [and it's not like he was going do that the other day sealand will never know]

Why can't you just be content with a toy train? Those are fun, aren't they? Choo choo?

[micronation]

Well dumping water on France didn't help much!

[Considers.] I guess I'd need a transportation system. [This may be slightly bigger than toy-sized.]

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well. If it's France, that's fine.

I'll let you buy that lock, but then we're leaving after that. I'll buy you a nice little toy train. All right?

[micronation]

I need the wood, too.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

... Is there a hammer and some nails involved with those planks?
