"Yes. Let's go get a bus or something?"

Find an estate agent!

[Toaster]

"Bus... shouldn't us mighty wizards just teleport or fly or ride dragons or some shit?"

[Errol]

"...you guys aren't planning something completely unnecessarily insane right now, right? Bah, who am I kidding."

Also go look for that real estate agent!

[lawastooshort]

"Er... no? I thought it was pretty practical, as a plan..."

[Harry Baldman]

After what seems like a long wait, Larry, Halesey and Elizabeth, or whatever their names are now, head out with a unified purpose - to locate a real estate agent.

Luckily for them, one practically falls right into their hands - or at least they spot a billboard for one, whatever that might count for. Some guy named Herbert Whey - apparently a new guy in town, judging by the advertising, which bills him as a 'real estate consultant/agent/broker/all-round expert'. Figuring he's as good as anybody, the people visit his office, which just so happens to be not too far from said billboard - located in a relatively new-looking building on the third floor, with a waiting room that offers a nice view of several nearby tenements. It takes but a minute or so of waiting before somebody comes out to meet them.

In this case, it is a man in a somewhat expensive suit, probably in his thirties, smiling widely at them. It's one of those practiced smiles, clearly - he can't quite manage to put his eyes into it, though it is admittedly hard to tell, considering how thick and large his glasses are.

"Hello, I'm Herbert Whey, as I'm sure you know, and might I say you've picked an absolutely wonderful time to visit me. How can I help you?"

[lawastooshort]

"Hi, my name is Mr Benjamin Halesey - you might have heard of me, I'm from the UK, and I am here to buy a factory and revitalise the area. Just the one factory to begin with, but I have some heavy investment behind me, so if it makes money we'll be doing some more. These are my colleagues Larry and Elizabeth - they're the financial whizkids behind the maths. Or math, as you call it, hahaha. So I'd like you to look into how I can go about getting the deeds to this factory, and then buying it."

"Ah, fantastic. I knew the offers would start rolling in any day now. I'm sure there might be a few for sale that I could locate for you - for a nominal fee, obviously."

[lawastooshort]

"Well, you know, there's only this one that we're interested in to begin with - I'll get Larry to jot you down the exact address - but I'm sure the nominal fee can be arranged."

I wonder if he takes payment in hats or potatoes?

"If we can exchange all the necessary details I'll get Elizabeth to sort out the payment, if you can find you for this particular factory. Sound good?"

((er, how are we going to pay him? I propose stalling until getting the necessary paperwork done, and then using magic))

[Toaster]

((Lottery tickets?  Dinosaurs?  Swank hats?))

"Yes, it's quite the place."


Assist with negotiations.

[lawastooshort]

((Yes, I suppose if we work for a week producing lottery tickets we could just pay cash... er I think the best plan is to wait until we see the documents, and then say, well - check out the dinosaurs outside shove his head into potato hell and say, well, you wanna go back in there?

I'd prefer to pay, but if we can't, we can always make unrefusable offers...))

[Toaster]

((Or Larry could just sneeze on him a lot.  Or we could just rob a jewelry store or something.))

[Errol]

((If you want to rob a jewelry store, do it without Liz.))

[lawastooshort]

((I don't want to rob a jewellery store, I want to stick his head into potato hell))

((though I'd prefer to just generate endless amounts of lottery tickets and use legitimate cash))

"Ah, so you are interested in a particular place? Why didn't you say so? I suppose I could rather easily check up on the state and possible price of this factory you seek - shouldn't take long at all. Nevertheless, you will have to pay me for my time - about two hundred dollars or so should cover our partnership for the next few days or so, yes."

[lawastooshort]

((er chaps, do we have $200 between us?))
