Tannim stocked up the candles, put out the new shipment of crystals and organized a few books which had been moved out of place.


The Magic Box was open.

Turtle took a break from her own work for a bit to, uhh...check up and see how some of the other business in town were doing. That was it. She always brought two Squishies with her when she went to check on other businesses...

"Hey, Tannim..."

"Hello," Tannim said. "Are you implementing a delivery service?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"That would imply," Turtle smirked at him, "that you actually ordered something. I was just bringing this over for you as a gift, but, if you'd rather pay for it, I won't complain."

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"I didn't intend to be ungracious," Tannim smiled, accepting the Squishy. "Thanks. How's your day going?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Not bad, not back," Turtle said idly as she took a sip from her own. "Making good sales for the camping trip that some of the workshops are taking this weekend. How's yours been?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Not too bad," Tannim said. "Not particularly busy, but nothing's exploded, so overall, pretty good."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Turtle grinned a little, shifting slightly. "Explosions bad. Unless you guys got a good insurance policy."

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"No idea," Tannim said. "Will any company insure stores on this island?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle's eyes got a little wide. "Eee, that...is a really, really good point. ..."

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Do you have insurance on your store?" Tannim asked.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle looked like she was really raking her brain to remember. "We've...got to, because cleaning up the place after the flood wasn't too difficult. I can't remember if Jane was still around back then or not, though, but she must have been, because I don't remember having to deal with any of it."

"So either there's an ordinary insurance company that knows nothing of what really happens here, or there's some kind of interdimensional insurance company," Tannim said.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Or," Turtle pointed out with a sip, "a very adventurous insurance company that likes to throw caution to the wind and money out the window."

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Could be that too," Tannim smiled. "Maybe it's run by leprechauns."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle snorted a laugh. "Leprechauns? Why leprechauns?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

Tannim shrugged. "Pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, which means after a storm - kinda sounds like insurance people to me."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

That just made Turtle grin, almost deviously. "I like that. A lot. Great, built-in advertising campaign right there, too, and there's the whole fact that, really, the pot of gold is elusive. No one ever really finds it and I be you could work that into your legal jargon between the lines, too, so that, in the end, you, the leprechaun insurance agent, gets to keep everything. Including</i. your cereal."

Tannim laughed. "You should go into insurance," he said. "Or business law."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"I'm totally going into business law," Turtle informed him with a nod. "Wanna go to Harvard and everything. Got it allllllll planned out."
