Kane needs a break from bureaucracy for a little while so I'm going to be in Europe for the next several days. Not entirely sure where yet, but I'll have my laptop and phone and I'll try to keep my PA (aka Rogue) updated as to my whereabouts so, while I'm anticipating that you lot won't need me for anything, feel free to contact her if you can't get ahold of me via the above communicative devices.

Lorna, please make sure Warren doesn't burn the place down.
Jess, please make sure Warren doesn't have sex on anyone's desk but his own.
Arthur, please make sure Warren doesn't buy anything outlandish that will embarrass the rest of us. Like a chandelier or an ocelot.
Bobbi, please make sure Warren doesn't do anything to/for a client that will get us sued.
Warren, please... don't do anything Jean wouldn't do.

Wait, you'd buy camels from Honest Abdullah? And not me?! I'm horribly insulted. The only camels you should be buying are from MY camel farm.

I also have a mink farm if that tickles your fancy.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

Minks are vicious, smelly little creatures. Next you'll be offering me a ferret.

You own a camel farm? I am very pleased with this knowledge for no reason whatsoever.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

They aren't for pets, numbskull. They're for clothing.

Well, I told you I owned one, and I wouldn't ever lie to you about something like that, right? So of course it must be true!

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

I'd prefer seal. Then I'd be waterproof.

I need a venture that I can throw out in random conversation. Now what to invest in....

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I don't believe I've ever come across a seal breeding farm, sadly.

I think a seal breeding farm would be a good idea both as an investment and a random conversation piece...

No money. EU restrictions.

I have thought about it. I bought a pair of mitts in Norway once, and sometimes when I'm alone, I cuddle them.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

No money to be made at it, you mean? Or people don't have money to put into it?

Cuddle? Really? You're going with 'cuddle'? Okay then. But I think we both know what you really do with them when you're alone.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

No money to be made. I could be philanthropic and donate money to Inuit hunters, but why?

Is that an innuendo I see, Ms.Frost?

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Why would you donate it to hunters? To dissuade them from hunting? Okay yeah I guess I could see that. Be all 'here, go eat Big Macs instead of seal.' You'd probably have to donate it somewhere, to be honest. Good will and all that. With the mink thing I have to keep the whole thing humane, make sure they aren't in tiny cages and they can exercise and all that, and then give a chunk of the profits to those organizations that make sure companies don't test makeup on animals and such. But then you gotta vet the organizations to make sure they aren't insane eco-terrorists. It's kind of a pain.

Me? Have a mind in the gutter? Of course not, Mister Worthington III!

...I meant give them money so they can indulge in their traditional ways, but your answer works too.

Right....and I'm a virgin. That might be a little more believable.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Aren't their traditional ways... hunting seals? Why would you want them to indulge in that? I thought the point of starting a farm was so hunters didn't hunt them and decimate the population?

I just spat some sort of alcohol Kane gave me all over my laptop. Thanks.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

Do you not read global news? It's a hard world out there for traditionalists. Maybe I will donate money....

Anytime. I'm off to church to light a candle for your immortal soul.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Of course. When it comes to finance, business, and fashion. And sometimes sports. Besides, I'm a fan of modernity and progress. Traditionalism doesn't really garner much sympathy from me, to be honest.

I think you mean immoral.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

When the world ends, and money is a fuel, I will fly North and let them take care of me. It's always important to have a backup plan.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

When the world ends how the fuck will you get way the fuck up there to let them take care of you?

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

Do I need to take my shirt off? Cause I will.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I guess it depends what the ratio of apocalypse survivors is, between women and gay men and everyone else...

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

I have wings. I can go anywhere.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Having wings isn't going to help you when you have no food or warm clothes and there are like, blizzards and shit.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

I don't feel the cold. At all.

I have made up my mind.

And I shall be king. And it shall be good.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

You still have to eat. And you still can't fly through blizzard-speed winds, I'm assuming.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

I find no fault in my plan.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Good thing there's not an apocalypse, then.
