Taco Island fair/market! (1000th topic)

[Nolishiwan]

Isn't that a painting?

[morlago]

Obviously, but don't expect it to be in the Louvre.

[Nolishiwan]

I mean because Shelter wants to "have HER"...

[morlago]

That doesn't sound good...

[Nolishiwan]

*sends announcers into the city*
Come everybody! The fair is far from being over still! Open your stands in the Taco Island Fair! Come and get your best muffins, cakes, cotton candy and so on! Stroll through the fair and enjoy the ambience!

*meanwhile walks to Ananke's stand and buys some muffins*
Mmh, great! *is too occupied with enjoying muffins to say more*

[Ananke II]

Hmm, can I open a 2nd stand?

[Nolishiwan]

Of course! Or you can expand your first one, whatever you like better.

[Ananke II]

*puts up a book stand* What else?

[morlago]

Cotton candy! Cotton candy! 10 tacos each!

[Nolishiwan]

*carefully carves "Book Store [by Ananke II]" on the Fair's map-like overview at the entrance*
*buys quite many books from Ananke's stand*
*walks to own stand*
*hangs sign out which says "Nearly sold out. Ring bell for special orders."*
*puts a sticker on it which says "do not disturb; reading"*
*vanishes into the the deeper parts of the stand, carrying all books inside*

[morlago]

I want to open a second stand next to my Cotton Candy one. It will be a wine stall.

[Ananke II]

*gets a Nol'wan sandwich and sits down next to him, reading in one of her new books*

I bought 16 on my trip to England. ;D

[Shelter from the Storm]

* Buys a book from Ananke's stall, and looks around for a cafe. *

[Ananke II]

*wonders what books Nol'wan and Shelter bought*

[Shelter from the Storm]

OK, Nol'wan, I am going to open an espresso and cappuccino bar. I figure I can open it next to Ananke's so people can have one of my coffees and one of her muffins.

@ Ananke: I found a copy of Raising Tax Revenues for Fun and Profit.

Here is my new logo for the influence peddling part of Shelter's Influence peddling and bicycle pedaling stall.

A picture of the bike rental side of the stall.

[morlago]

Nice.

[Shelter from the Storm]

Here's a marketing idea. I will give away the first cup of coffee at my espresso and cappuccino stand for free, but I will charge 250 for the second cup. Of course, the refill contains the antidote.

[morlago]

Wow, I wonder if Shelter will be stripped of his Mayor title if he was caught poisoning his customers.

P.S. Nol'wan, I've requested a wine stall.

[Shelter from the Storm]

Hmm... I learned statesmanship from the House of Medici. The more they poisoned people, the more they stayed in power.

[Shelter from the Storm]

I'm working on an ad for the new espresso and cappuccino bar. I am not sure if I have got it sounding the way it should. Here is a rough draft:

The Tax Shelter Café is devoted to poisoning customers service, low quality food and drink and quick delivery of death to all customers. We hope you will die! enjoy all our delectable treats.

At the Tax Shelter Café, we are not happy until you are not happy.

Because if you do not die are not happy then we will not have done our jobs. Yeah, like we're actually going to do our jobs... And if we are not happy, you will probably be unhappy too. If you catch our drift.

[morlago]

What?

Did you mean "as long as" instead of "until" or did you forget to strike out the second "not"?

PS: Sorry Morlago. *carves Morlago's wine stall into list as well*

[Shelter from the Storm]

Hmm. Nope. I think that is exactly what I meant:

At the Tax Shelter Café, we are not happy until you are not happy.

[morlago]

That's not good...

*goes back to wine stall/cotton-candy stall* OK, what will it be gents? Red wine, white wine, brandy? Any alcoholic drink you like. Oh, and by the way, in celebrating the opening of the Morlago Wine Stall, we have a special offer. Whenever you buy 4 cotton candies, you get another 4 cotton candies for free/500 ml of any wine (original price: 60 /150 )

[Nolishiwan]

*takes note to not ever buy cotton candy from Morlago* (too expensive )

[Ananke II]

But Shelter, how will you get any tax from the customers, who die by poisoning?

[morlago]

Nice one, Ananke.

P.S. Nol'wan, I've lowered the price.
