One Cent by Iaman, The Orange Flag

May 3rd, 2008 7:38 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Mail a penny to another player.

Sometime in April, approximately a week and a half ago, a transaction occurred between Doktor Harmon and I. The transaction is further documented here, so I will spare you all of the intricate details, but the gist of it is that I purchased an artifact, which turned out to be a fake, from the Doktor, at the very low cost of a penny. And a flag.

I have to say, receiving an envelope where you think you know exactly what is inside and finding a *single penny* in there is a pretty unusual experience. Especially when you know why the penny is there, without having to ask.

I figured I'd jazz up the envelope for you, add a little pizazz to the transaction, you know.

The part where it made it here just fine despite the censorship was particularly impressive.

Indeed, we must have quite a fine postal system.

When they end up coming together in a sort of narrative, you know, I like that rather a lot, so that it ends up making me type in run on sentences.

The best part is, unlike most multi-task narratives, this wasn't plotted as such. When I agreed to send Iaman the bandanna, for instance, I did not know what he intended to do with it. Nor did I know that I'd be giving him the necessary mailing information with which he planned to complete this task.

The fact that it was coincidental is the cherry on this cake.

There’s a new car on the horizon, Doktor. It’s coming very slowly. It makes a noise. It has kittens painted all over it.

Now I'm following the traces of your fingernails that run along the windshield on the task of cake...

Chess Piece Face's patience must be wearing thin.

But on the plus side, the rabid child's still tuning in.
