What did you think all of this documentation has been for, Joel?

joel @agentjoel.bsky.social · Sep 8

Hey, do we, like, get judged for our work here, or...?

Hassam Rizvi, the Boss @cartomancing.bsky.social · Sep 8

Oh, would you look at that. A visitor.

Hassam Rizvi, the Boss @cartomancing.bsky.social · Aug 27

Ah, un instant, s'il vous plaît. It seems that you misunderstand me.

( His sunglasses glinted in the light, her face reflecting back at her. Hassam is always smiling a gambler's smile. )

I wish to speak to *the Big Bad Wolf*.

alice @allthewrongpieces.bsky.social · Aug 27

( her smile isn't just gone, it was never even there in the first place. )

I have an appointment with the Big Bad Wolf. I believe we spoke on the telephone?

Well I hope I'm worth the wait, handsome. What can I do for you?

Hassam Rizvi, the Boss @cartomancing.bsky.social · Aug 26

Ah, bonjour. You are not the receptionist, are you? I have been waiting here for quite some time to be served.

Hassam Rizvi, the Boss @cartomancing.bsky.social · Aug 25

How very astute.

Well, Daisy, it is a retirement plan with certain tax benefits. But I am boring you already!

Let us say that Joel has more in common with you than either would like to think.

Surely by now you must realize that aliens are everywhere?

The United Kingdom has . . . ( He considers the term. ) An affinity for alien interactions, especially on a larger scale. There are... Persons of interest here.

your girlfriend of the week @agentdaisy.bsky.social · Jul 31

Has anything ever happened here? You-know-what wise? Like, I can't imagine ALIENS in England. That'd be stupid.

Hassam Rizvi, the Boss @cartomancing.bsky.social · Jul 30

Don't worry, Daisy. We shall go into this... together. But be careful of the seagulls, they are wicked little things.

Wow! Other cultures sure are scary to me.

They call them fish and chips here. Much thicker than your... American things, you see?

Hm. ( A nod. )

Acceptable.

The Hassam cow is in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley or Township?

(For a second, he sits there. Staring with that intense stare of his. But eventually, he relents.) I enjoy technology. Taking things apart and putting them back together.

I also, on occasion, draw or play video games. There is a cow named after you on one of my virtual farms.

You cannot be serious.

Hassam Rizvi, the Boss @cartomancing.bsky.social · Jul 17

Do you know what the problem with these youth today is, mon ami?

You have no hobbies! I have always said, it is important to have the little trinkets and such, if it is not keeping from work.

And then: I had the least pleasant hour of my life. Or was it longer than that? It felt like an eternity, I will tell you that.

I must admit, I am quite sold upon this... 'Caravan'. It is a little primitive, but there is no shame in enjoying something basic every so often, non?

The food here is quite basic, but I'll admit it has a certain charm. Occasionally. I have heard and seen some apt chefs. I do enjoy the haute cuisine at the Ultra-Luxe, for instance. Now there is an attempt at restoration!

I have to eat, y'know? I can go a long time, but not forever.

Hey, *I'm* supposed to be the one asking the questions here!

Mm. And have you tried any of the food here?

The meaning of life is a little beyond me, but it might be good food.

Hassam Rizvi, the Boss @cartomancing.bsky.social · Jun 2

I enjoy good food and drink. Culture is what life is all about, Valerie, no?
