week two: morning

I spent some time on the library's PCs... sending malicious spam emails in the hopes of stealing other people's money. It doesn't sound very nice but who's really to blame if they respond to such a blatant scam?

I was making my daily protection payment to Jennie when suddenly...

"Everyone! Stop what you're doing and look at my majestic visage!"

I know that voice! And I hate him!

"The Interdimensional Prince!" Jennie said scowling. "Muscling in on my territory, are you?"

"Not at all, my darling viperess." He said winking. Only I can say that! "I am here strictly in a business capacity."

This gained Jennie's attention. "Business, you say? I'm all ears. Except for my snakes, they are all teeth and toungues."

"It's simple economics, my love." The Prince started. "You're an aspiring crime kingping, I'm a prince. I propose a merger. A merger of our resources, our minds, our bodies and our spirits!"

FUCK. I did not see that one coming.

"Interesting." Jennie said. Obviously weighing the cons and pros of the proposal. If she decides this 'merger' is financially viable, good luck to me asking her to prom! But how will I undermine Jennie's confidence in the Prince's financial status?

And then it came to me.

"Before we draw up the contract," Jennie started. "I hope you won't mind providing a full accounting of your assets."

"Of course not, my dear! As you can see from this spreadsheet my entire kingdom is... owned by someone named CARL?"

"Let me see that..." Jennie snatched the sheet from him. "You idiot! CARL isn't a person, it's a computer algorithm! It proably stands for something like... Computerized Autonomous Robotic... Lightbulb?"

Nope! Doesn't stand for anything! It's just CARL. My plan worked flawlessly. I took a one last look at the Prince's devastated face then walked away, laughing.
