012- You can't backslide if you never made any progress lol

Never have I been so glad to have not been affected by a flood.

[Inmate Filter]

I'm curious how many of you have need of certain plants from the garden. I seem to have acquired a job there and as my Warden isn't supervising me at the present moment, I'm curious how many of you would be willing to organize something of a trade- plants for favors.

Comments

inmate filter - this dude still treats plants like money. in case he goes hoooooooome.

[453gof_flesh]

Make that alcohol or cigarettes instead of favours and you're on. [Wheeze, wheeze]

Inmate filter- IF CLAPET WERE A RICH MAN. LA DEE DEEDLE DEEDLE DIIIIE.

[sarkraticmethod]

You're assuming I have need of either. [Lineface, Clapet. Your bartering skills need work. :|]

Re: Inmate filter-

They are the most valued commodities around here. You're exchanging something with limited appeal for something with mostly universal appeal.

They can essentially function as currency. You don't need to have a need for them.

Re: Inmate filter-

[sarkraticmethod]

On the contrary. I know a great many people here who could do quite a lot of damage with plants. And favors are a much more valuable currency to me.

What do plants do?

inmate filter

[sarkraticmethod]

On their own, very little. In the hands of someone with enough time on their hands and a decent grasp of chemistry and biology, I can imagine a number of things. Psychotropic drugs, poisons, and the like.

Oh, I get it. Weird.

And yet profitable.

While I don't mind you smuggling what you will out of the gardens, it would not be in your best interest to cause the death of any of the plants.

I don't intend to kill anything. If I'm to avoid suspicion, I need to make this look as though a Warden was simply taking what they needed, themselves. If I go at this like an amateur, they'll suspect something is amiss.

Filter

[preachyrose]

And all of us will be under suspicion. But I've been taking things from the garden since I started working there. They won't notice anything.

Re: Filter

[sarkraticmethod]

Really? Remarkable. And here I thought with what they're keeping in there, they would be, well... Keeping better track.

Private - If this isn't cool at all I can totally edit.

[willkissawookie]

Sark, I should be returning to supervise you shortly. I only needed a few days and I think it's been a little longer than just a few days.

Private- IT'S FINE. He will be sneaky. :c

[sarkraticmethod]

It has. I was starting to wonder if perhaps you'd given up on our bonding exercise.

Re: Private- Oh Sark. You nerfherder.

[willkissawookie]

I wouldn't give up on you, Sark. Ever.

Re: Private- YEP.

[sarkraticmethod]

Right. [REPRESSED AWKWARD IS A GO.] So I should expect to see you this afternoon?

Filter

[amagicalmystery]

That's...a thought. I never even tried access to the gardens, figured I'd be watched in nothing flat.

What sort of favor would we be bestowin'?

Filter

[sarkraticmethod]

I've been working there for a month now without incident, I can probably avoid detection better than most. It's risky, but the end result would be worth it.

I draw the fire for someone else, I expect the same will be done for me when I need it. If I'm caught at this, no one really gains anything, do they? I'm certain the exchange of favors can be made to be worth anyone's while.

Filter

[amagicalmystery]

You make a sound point. Though it goes without sayin', I can back out of this any time if I don't like it. Don't know you well enough to leave out an escape clause.

We'll start small - if you can find any High John the Conquer root out in that garden, I'd be much obliged.

Re: Filter

[sarkraticmethod]

That sounds reasonable. And I'll see what I can do.

[...brb, hitting the library on plant books. HE SELLS WEAPONS, DAMMIT. AND PRICELESS ARTIFACTS. This is the weirdest market ever.]
