"I'm gonna do plenty of it myself too. But economies are built on cooperation, don't ya know."

"I think you told me that. And I'm going to pursue catering. Seen Jo anywhere?"

"Tabby's evil layer, I think. You might be better off just talking to the distro kitchens though, they've got bulk on their side. Unless you're going for variety, that'd work."

"You ever been to a fair with only one food stall?"

"Yeah. It was some stupid lumberjack's trade show that Dad dragged me to, though."

"He's a lumberjack and he's okay, he hunts all night and he sleeps for three hours a day!"

"What. Just... What. Right, so, what sorts of supplies will you need particularly?"

"Know where I can find a merry-go-round?"

"Yeah, actually. There's one in Fort Central Park. And one in Forest Park. And one in Willowbrook park... And more. Parks seem to like carousels."

"Think we could take one apart and put it back together in less than two weeks?"

"Hm... We can probably figure it out if we spend enough time on it, yeah. And I have tools."

"Well, I doubt the Fort kids will like us taking anything of their's, so Willowbrook is probably our best bet."

"Don't know what condition either one will be in, maybe I should take a look at a bunch and pick one that seems mostly functional already for you?"

"That'd be good, thanks."

Nod, nod. "Well, I'll go later today. Expecting a delivery."

"See ya!"

He heads for Jo next.

Jo is busy being a cat in a particularly abandoned area. Good rats here.

"Afternoon, Floofy."

"Myau." She sits on the end of a cargo container and tilts her head questioningly.

"Ice fair, food will be a thing. Think you could manage?"

She runs off and comes back after a few seconds, clothed. "That really depends. How many people? What kind of facilities are there gonna be?"

"I figure most of the kids at the distro, and Terence says he can supply some power."

"I mean like, if there's an abandoned and only kinda-looted fast food place near where you're holding it, I can use their cooking stuff. The power is good news though."

"There's a KFC full of delicious, nutritious rats."

She makes a quiet pleased 'eee' sound. "Well, cleaning up the vermin is pretty important, isn't it?"
