delivery!

[glitterateur]

[It takes a little while to get to him-- Mabel sends it via flying pig courier, and neither the girl nor the pig had any real idea where his office was. Mabel had even sort of neglected to get his name except via network tags. But eventually! Eventually he gets a very official looking envelope with a very official bit of paperwork contained within.

Mabel Pines has no idea what a cost/benefits analysis is.

But she does know that when it doubt, send gifts. So along with the paper comes a six pack of fancy cream soda in various flavors. A further gesture of apology, to help mend clone-Pines relations. ]

[ Hah. Never let it be said that Mark isn't an asshole, but also never let it be said that Mabel Pines can't win over even the assholiest. And so he gets that, and in spite of himself he laughs (not in public, god not in public, let it never be revealed that he actually laughed) and then he texts her back: ]

I can't quite agree with your business plan. I'm more of a dog person. But I liked the soda a lot. And I think the pig-courier business might have a future.

[glitterateur]

that's fair!! dogs are PRETTY GREAT even though cats and pigs will reign supreme in my heart forever!! I'm glad you liked the soda

and yeah the waddleses are kickbutt at delivering stuff!!

since they can fly and turn into little submarines and stuff they can go basically anywhere

[jacksonian]

[ A beat. ]

Actually, the pig-courier business might have a future. What are their limits?

[glitterateur]

I dunno!!

they delivered all my valentines to people in every city no problem and they turned into a giant sea monster back in antarctica without getting tired??

[jacksonian]

How do you feel about being rich?

[glitterateur]

I'm gonna buy sooooooo many pugs

[jacksonian]

[ Um. ]

Meaning the dog. That's not an autocorrect for "drugs," right?

[glitterateur]

uh why would I buy drugs when there are small dogs in the world????

[jacksonian]

[ Hard to argue with. ]

First we need to figure out exactly what those pigs of yours can do.

[glitterateur]

they can do basically anything except talk or resist hotdogs

but if you think of a test then just let me know!!!

[jacksonian]

Why don't we figure out their delivery capabilities? Maybe try to deliver things to 100 people in one hour.

[glitterateur]

sure!! that should be fun

can it just be envelopes and stuff??? because I can use my birthday invitations for that test

[jacksonian]

Yeah, envelopes is a good first step. Then we can move up to packages. Best would be if we could turn this into a transportation service, getting people to places.

[glitterateur]

they're pretty good at being golfcarts!!

and little submarines

[jacksonian]

Maybe they can be a rescue force.

[glitterateur]

like those dogs with the things around their necks!! YES

you are a genius

[jacksonian]

Dogs with what things?

[ Maybe this is a costuming opportunity for the pigs... ]

[glitterateur]

little jugs they carry around their necks!!

I dunno what's in them but they're really important they save people trapped on mountains in cartoons all the time

[jacksonian]

[ After a bit of google searching-- ]

Brandy. That's not going to help with any actual rescuing. We can skip the jugs, I think.
