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.

Then you won't know how it works until you need to use it. That's even less appealing, yeah?

[pickledturncoat]

Let me see—experimenting on slicing myself up versus experimenting on a potential enemy. Oh yes, the latter is so much less appealing. [eyeroll]

[devoutish]

And experimenting on a potential enemy who knows what they're doing and is intent on hurting you?

[pickledturncoat]

[...]

And you are, who, exactly? More importantly, why the kriff do you care about what I should or shouldn't do with my power?

[devoutish]

This is us having a conversation, mate; that's all. I think I do care less than you believe I do.

Alfie Solomons; very nice to make your acquaintance. And you are--?

[pickledturncoat]

Ah, thank you very much for that bit of information that I can easily read. While your name is a start, the question of 'who are you' is rather more along the lines of who are you, since it's starting to feel like more than just casual conversation, as you seem oddly persistent to press a point which I've stated I have no interest in.

[devoutish]

You are, as always, welcome to change the subject. Honestly, mate, if I had known you were a humorless sort--

[pickledturncoat]

I have an excellent sense of humor, thank you. I won the Imperial Security Bureau's 'Champion of Sassy Banter' title five years running, I'll have you know.

[devoutish]

But your humor cannot extend to spiders. That, there; that's a deficiency. I'm sure this world has got pills for it.

[pickledturncoat]

Under the circumstances, it's perfectly acceptable. I have other means of self-medication, thank you.

[devoutish]

That's not a surprise. You seem like that sort, if you don't mind me saying so.

Have you had any luck in finding proper assistants for your moving business?

[pickledturncoat]

I do mind, as a matter of fact. I'm fully capable self-judgment as well, your input along those lines is not necessary.

I have hired someone, yes.

[devoutish]

I'm glad to hear it, mate; honestly. And that said, I think I'll relieve you of my presence.

[pickledturncoat]

It's about time, frankly.

[He makes a shooing gesture with his hand.] Be off with you, then.
