[The camera starts out focused on Nick's face; he looks a little frazzled, but is managing to keep a slightly strained grin plastered across his muzzle all the same.]

Hey, so I know everyone's busy discovering all the horrors an intergalactic shopping mall has to offer, but while we're talking commerce, I've got an offer for anyone who's interested!

[The view swings around, showing the inside of Nick's room - and jars. Lots of them. To be specific, if anyone cares to count, fourteen gallon-size jars of translucent red fluid, in stacks of two. In Nick's defense, he's made an effort to keep them from taking up too much of his roommate's space in the room, but there's only so much he can do.]

Before anyone asks, it's melted popsicle. It's all melted popsicle, because the universe is playing a cruel joke on me, BUT that's not what should matter to you! What DOES matter is the easy availability of all this prime merchandise! So if there’s anyone out there who wants to help me get all this frozen, or who just happens to be suffering from a lack of colored sugar water, just let me know!

[He can only hope someone wants these because he sure as hell doesn’t know what to do with them.]

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE CRUEL JOKE IS SO PLENTIFUL, THOSE ARE SOME RATHER LARGE JARS OF MELTED POPSICLE.

SO. ARE YOU PLANNING ON REDISTRIBUTING?

It's a long story, but believe me, the universe knows EXACTLY what it's doing here.

Something like that. You making an offer?

[mttbrandlegs]

WELL!

YOU SEE, MY TIME IS RATHER PRECIOUS, ME BEING A CELEBRITY AND ALL THAT.

BUT I FIND MYSELF LACKING FUN THINGS TO DO, AND SINCE MY IDEA OF FUN DOES NOT INCLUDE STEPPING OUT INTO THE, AS YOU PUT IT, INTERGALACTIC SHOPPING MALL, I THOUGHT I MIGHT GRACIOUSLY OFFER TO HELP YOU REFREEZE IT!!!

I'M SURE THE CHILDREN WILL ENJOY FROZEN TREATS! :)

[You know. Children. Of the sort to think robots were cool?

He remembers you, Nick. You were marginally more adorable as a child.]

[pawpsiclepeddler]

Huh, hadn't been aware we had a celebrity onboard.

[Is he being sarcastic? Who knows.]

I certainly appreciate the offer! And I'd bet they would.

[mttbrandlegs]

I DON'T GET UP TO THE SAME SORT OF THING AROUND HERE! IT'S NOT EXACTLY EASY, AS I'M SURE YOU'VE NOTICED

ANYWAY, ARE YOU LOOKING TO TURN A PROFIT, OR ARE YOU JUST LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GET RID OF YOUR SUGAR WATER? BECAUSE IF YOU'RE SOLELY WORKING TOWARDS PROFIT, I CAN BARTER SOME OFF YOU AND FREEZE IT ON MY OWN TIME!!

[He doesn't want to get his charity wrapped up in profit right now--maybe another time! But...right now, it's touch and go, especially when he's so busted up that his voice still skips from time to time.]

[pawpsiclepeddler]

True, true. Gotta deal with the circumstances and all.

Not gonna lie, profit would be nice! But I'll admit, I'm not sure what I can ask beyond favors. Not like this place has a booming economy.

[mttbrandlegs]

I CAN PAY YOU IN FAVORS, OR RANK PERKS!!

USUALLY, I DON'T HAVE A USE FOR MY RANK PERKS, BECAUSE THEY'RE MUCH MORE TAILORED TO BIOLOGICAL CREATURES, RATHER THAN AUTOMATONS!!! LIKE A COFFEE MACHINE?!?! OR A SHOWER?

WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THAT??

[pawpsiclepeddler]

Huh, that could be a pretty good deal.

By the way, to backtrack a little - what was that about automatons?

[mttbrandlegs]

OH?

I'M A ROBOT, SWEETIE.

ANYWAY WHATEVER I HAVE THAT YOU HAVE A USE FOR, IT'S YOURS IN FAIR TRADE!!!
