[pickledturncoat]

A little PSA, if you will.

As my esteemed employer has currently reverted back to a more footloose and fancy free life-stage, he has generously dumped the management of his business in my lap.

[Sinjir waves his hand vaguely at the truck behind him.]

So for the time being, please contact yours truly for all your moving needs.

Also, I could really use a little help over here? I'd rather not have to resort to using any arachnoid labor, because no one wants a horde of big hairy spiders moving their furniture, especially not me. So, please. Allow me to enlist your services. For the sake of everyone's peace of mind.

I could probably spare a few hours and help you. [It's a genuine offer. ] What's an 'Ugnaught?'

[pickledturncoat]

I'm more interested in hiring someone who's available on a regular basis, but I'll bear the offer in mind, thank you.

Ugnaughts are diminutive porcine humanoids, or porcinoids more simply. They have a reputation for being very industrious and it would be nice if there were actually a bunch of them around, but no. Personally, I think that's a little misleading, but I didn't come up with the name.

[ She takes that description in, thinking it over. ]

Okay, so they exist where you're from. Gotcha. I think it's a bit strange to call the company after them if they aren't here, but I'm guessing your esteemed employer has a fondness for them?

[ Her lips twitch with slight amusement. ]

Do you need any help with promotion?

[pickledturncoat]

Yes, that's correct. Apparently he does? I didn't ask.

[He'd rather not find out if it's fetish-y at all, thank you.]

This is about as much promotion as I'm likely to do. It's not exactly the type of position for which one would man a booth at a job fair.

[vanto]

You’re moving up the company ladder fast.

[pickledturncoat]

Seeing as how it's literally only one rung, that didn't take a lot of effort on my part. Zero, in fact.

[vanto]

Way to throw a compliment under a speeder, Sin.

[pickledturncoat]

Oh, is that what that was? Sorry. Thank you so much for noticing my achievement, which I had nothing to do with.

[vanto]

Too late, the compliment is gone now. It's never coming back.

[reexamined]

I do.

I want to see a horde of arachnoids moving furniture.

[pickledturncoat]

[You would.]

Hire me to move something and we'll talk.

[reexamined]

I would like to hire you to move a large broken down car from a junk yard to my back yard.

[pickledturncoat]

This is a furniture moving company.

So... no.

[marr]

Instead of taking over a business you are not equipped to handle alone, you could pursue other employment.

[pickledturncoat]

Excuse me if I don't thank you for the unsolicited, unhelpful advice.

voice ; private

[marr]

I spoke with your counterpart back when we all had doubles running around. He had some very interesting things to say.

Moving people's belongings is a waste.

[pickledturncoat]

[uh oh... this doesn't bode well]

Did he now? Such as...?

[devoutish]

May we request the spiders?

[pickledturncoat]

[facepalm]

Offer me enough money and I'll consider it.

[devoutish]

I'd like to see photos, at least. Have you got any? Or video?

[pickledturncoat]

No? You seem to have missed the part where I'm not actually promoting this.

[cannotrest]

Damn, I'm impressed you're keeping it open - my boss got, uh, exPorted? And I do not feel like running a business.

[The green light in Ashley's pupils and moving through the circuitry in her skin somewhat prevents the camera from focusing on her properly, but it's clear enough that her expression's going thoughtful.]

But I am planning an imPort veteran support group, and one thing I was thinking of was referrals to companies with jobs a bit more physical than the government assignments. Can I keep your name on file? I would've asked Lando, but, well.

[More footloose and fancy free indeed.]

[pickledturncoat]

Ah yes, well... for the moment.

[He doesn't especially feel like running a business either—at least not one like this. He also doesn't want to take Marr's advice either, but the Sith lord is right to some extent.]

Certainly. Let's all hope Lando is back to his former self before too long.

[cannotrest]

Thanks. You don't think you can keep it going, or need more non-arachnoid employees that desperately, or...?

[pickledturncoat]

Well, right now there's only me.

[And the spiders. 8[ ]

This is not exactly what I'd want to do long-term.
