Hey so does anybody have a Zune charger? Mine's in the red.

[ added twenty minutes later: ] I don't care about iPods!!!

Comments

[pjq]

I do! There's still about 200 songs I've never heard on here. It can't die now.

[taskforcing]

There has to be some kind of plug that works here.

[pjq]

That's what I keep saying, but people would rather talk about stupid ipods than actually help me find one. You'll help me, right?

[taskforcing]

Absolutely. Can you send me a picture of what the plugin hole looks like?

[pjq]

Yes! I would love to do that! Thank you, Patty!
See everybody ( can everybody read this?? )? This is what a good person who does good things looks like.
Okay, types like, since we can't see you. That's not my point.

[ he sends a picture of his beloved zune over, angled so she can see the wide charger port ]

[taskforcing]

I like helping people however I can.

Oh, okay. Hmm... maybe you could ask the city council if they can get you one. I've never seen a charger like that.

[pjq]

Me too. All the time. That's kind of my thing now. "Helper", that's what most people call me. Right after Star-Lord.

[ it's important that everyone knows that ]

Maybe. I'm gonna go with that as a last resort. Don't want to make a big fuss or anything.

[taskforcing]

Star-Lord?

[pjq]

It's my outlaw name, but some call it my superhero name.

[taskforcing]

[ another superhero.]

This place seems to attract a particular kind of person.

[ it makes sense, after all.]

[pjq]

Well, that's the name of the game, right? Good deeds? Makes sense that they'd want people like us here to help out.

[ peter doesn't realize he's trash compared to patty spivot ]

[taskforcing]

Exactly right.

So you go by Star-Lord, then?

[pjq]

Sometimes.

My friends call me Peter. Or Quill.
Peter's better.

And you're Patty? Or is that a codename?

[taskforcing]

I like Peter better, if I'm being honest.

I wish. Patty Spivot is my real name. No codenames for me.

[pjq]

That's fine by me.

Patty's a great name! You don't need a codename. They're not for everyone.

[taskforcing]

I'm not a superhero. Just an ex-police officer.

[pjq]

Ex? Why's that? You obviously like helpin people.

[taskforcing]

I left the force to become a CSI but I came here before I could finish.

[pjq]

Oh. [ peter has no idea what a csi is or does ] Well, here you can be anything. Maybe even someone with a codename, if you want.

[taskforcing]

I think I can live with just my name. I don't have any super powers.

[pjq]

Pssh, who needs those? I don't.

[taskforcing]

Oh really?

[pjq]

Really.
I mean I have a spaceship and awesome guns and even more awesome jetboots, but no superpowers.
