Not backdated, he's just that forgetful.

[divinedetect]

Oh! Almost forgot.

Excellent news!

I've managed to get a few individuals of means to donate a sum of money so we can more convincingly participate in this auction. Even out best spy would look a fool if they walked in there without enough dragots to bid.

[flirtpole]

found him lol

[divinedetect]

Haha! That... actually hurts my eyes a bit.

Do you think 75,000 dragots will be enough? In your professional opinion.

[flirtpole]

SEVENTY FCIVEA JTHOUSAND

DRAGOTS

[divinedetect]

Favors, that's all. For the department. Not for me.

[flirtpole]

my tummy hurts

[flirtpole]

ok i'm over it

KITTY CAT I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! LOOK AT YOU PULLING STRINGS!!!

[divinedetect]

I— Thank you, Rory. I'm trying to think of how to be modest without sounding like it's a cleverly disguised brag.

[flirtpole]

i think you're allowed to humble brag for SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DRAGOTS

"ohhh, it was nothing, really, anyone with the resources i have would have done the same~! i'm just pleased i could put my connections to good use."

[divinedetect]

Very well, you've twisted my arm. What can I say? I'm just that adored by my former teaches and wealthy acquaintances.

[flirtpole]

who can say no to that face??? if you came to me asking for money, i would open my wallet and a moth would fly out and i would catch that moth for you to keep

[divinedetect]

I would treasure that moth and construct a tiny, luxurious terrarium where it could reside.

[flirtpole]

bro.... 🥺




what would we name it

[divinedetect]

Annie. A rags to riches story.

[flirtpole]

omg annie... it IS a hard knock life for us 🥺 good for her GOOD FOR HER!!!!

ah to be a little wallet moth seeking greater heights

[flirtpole]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[divinedetect]

Do you need a minute?

[flirtpole]

GOOD JOB thats a lot of numbers

i mean its a PALTRY SUM to someone like ROLAND BHATT

but rory howlan's hands are sweating

[divinedetect]

I think Rory Howlan will do a fine job keeping track of that money when the day comes, sweaty hands and all.

[suckerfish]

oooo so like
what we could do
is
step 1: get outbid on purpose every time
step 2: lose out on all the art so sad
step 3: party/proser

[divinedetect]

Ah, a perfect plan to abscond with department funding.

[suckerfish]

this sounds like independent funding?

[divinedetect]

It's hardly as though they handed the money to me. The checks were written out to the department, Ms. Statler.

[suckerfish]

and you are
we are all
technically the department

[flirtpole]

☭ our checks ☭

[divinedetect]

Well...

I'm sure that a portion of these funds could be reasonably spent on revelries, just so that your lot can blend in among the elites. But I think there would be questions if you were to come home empty handed and three sheets to the wind.

[flirtpole]

what if we came back with

🌟 sooveneer cups 🌟

or
idk what they have at art auctions

[flirtpole]

GASP

[flirtpole]

IS THIS WHERE WE HAVE A MONTAGE OF YOU TEACHING US HOW TO BE FANCY

[divinedetect]

I mean, I could. We could tour a museum, I could tell you a few things my family the wealthy might say to sound like they understand modern art when they actually can't make a bit of sense of it.

[flirtpole]

oh i know what the wealthy sound like

Impeccable detail on this piece. Note the fervor in the brush strokes.

i wanna do the balancing the book on the head thing

[divinedetect]

No, no. You need to address the message behind it. Abstract art's not about realism or brush strokes or even technique. You want to think— Neverminded, it's boring. Really, you'd want to ask Teagan, not me. Although he's not an abstract artist. He's actually a fine portrait artist! But I suspect he's very informed about all that anyway.

Regardless, I can't walk with a book on my head, you know.

[flirtpole]

we lookin at that ABSTRACT shit?? dawg i'm so good at desifering MEANINGS. are we gonna go to the museum???

and which ones teagon again?

well i can walk with a book on my head. who's the dandy now, huh???

[bestbud]

from each according to his ability 🤝 to each according to his needs

[flirtpole]

babe are you going to the fancy art auction thing????

[bestbud]

I gotta, I thought.

[flirtpole]

wait is the whole office gonna be there lol

omg i hope whatshisface and his tiny little bangs shows up

omg and fuckin VIGILANCE

[flirtpole]

lets make ENEMIES and make them OUTBID US to protect their PRIDE

[flirtpole]

i wonder if libby would outbid one of yall to buy art for ✨ME✨

[suckerfish]

whod you hate at that party

[flirtpole]

that old dude who kept trying to monopolize MY FUTURE HUSBAND'S TIME

[hexenringe]

consider the following:

step 1: get overly competitive
step 2: spend all the money trying to win art
step 3: decorate the office with paintings of varying qualities

[suckerfish]

mmmmm
we'd have so many paintings

[hexenringe]

maybe one and a half paintings

[divinedetect]

Nothing wrong with a painting or two! It's good for morale.
