Mission 5: We Are Go for Ewoks

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Action: Morning, Mayfield Used Car Lot]

[Wes has decided to liven up his job today in his usual way. The town really shouldn't have given him back Lieutenant Kettch back if they didn't want this happening.

Anyone wandering through the lot will find a life sized toy Ewok hiding in a car.]

[Action, Afternoon, Park]

[Wes really was just walking home. But he can't resist the temptation to pop Kettch out from behind a tree.]

Yub yub!

[Action, Evening, Shooting Range]

[Wes has set Kettch in a corner while he practices with his blaster. He's just about to take a break]

[Heinz was off to look into getting himself a vehicle. Being able to drive places would be useful! And also, he could remodel the thing. Soon, very soon.

So there he was, wandering through the lot, kicking tires and checking mirrors...

AND THEN THERE IS A FUZZY THING IN THE CAR.

He screams, flails his arms, and leaps onto the hood of the unoccupied car next to it.]

Uh, you all right?

[Action: Morning, Mayfield Used Car Lot]

[doofenstrudel]

A thing! There is a FUZZY THING in that car!

[He's pointing at it. He's still on the hood of the other car, sitting rather than completely sprawled.]

What are you DOING, letting FUZZY THINGS into the CARS!?

...it's very poor dedication to the job, I tell you.

Can't say this job elicits too much dedication, really.

[doofenstrudel]

...

[Heinz hops down from the hood of the car, now looking irritable.]

Fine. If not dedication, could you show some concern for your fellow prisoner's blood pressure?

...the heck is that thing, anyway?

[Wes really wasn't expecting such a... dramatic reaction.]

His name is Lieutenant Kettch and he's an Ewok.

[doofenstrudel]

Oh.

...how'd he manage to make Lieutenant, anyway?

[Heinz slips forward, staring longer at Lieutenant Kettch.]

Wait, he's not even real is he?

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's a toy. He has flown on missions though.

[doofenstrudel]

Aaah, all the mission flying would be the reason for his rank...

[He's somewhat willing to play along. Somewhat.]

He must have needed a booster seat.

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

Actually, he sat in the Commander's lap. It's... a long story.

[doofenstrudel]

Oh, you're no fun. Shatter my dreams and dash my hopes, will you?

[He snorts.]

Let me guess, the town gave it back to you?

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

They did. He just showed up in the mail. If it happened at home I'd think someone was up to something.

[doofenstrudel]

Someone IS up to something. This is Mayfield. It is safe to assume that, at any given moment, someone is up to something.

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

Probably more sinister than anything with Kettch would be.

[doofenstrudel]

Probably. But you scared the heck out of me, sticking it behind the wheel.

[He sighs.]

So is actually buying a car out of the question?

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

I, uh, actually work here. Wes Janson.

[doofenstrudel]

Ah! Excellent! I am Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

[He extends his hand for a handshake.]

I need a car. I am not terribly picky. It's going to be heavily customized once I've gotten it home, anyway.

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

[Wes shakes the hand firmly]

Well, I happen to know which of these are fastest. Not that anything in this town is really fast enough.

[doofenstrudel]

A car hardly compares to flight... hm.

[That inspires a few interesting ideas, right there. But focus! Focus on the purchasing of a car, first!]

I'd like something roomy. With place for passengers. And devices. And...

And you know what? I think I need a truck. Are there trucks?

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

We have a few pickup trucks, but they're not really good for carrying a lot of passengers. A compact van might be a good place to start. Basically a box on wheels, but a lot of room.

[doofenstrudel]

Oooh, a van! I could have a lot of fun with a van!

And I could paint a logo on the side!

[He is so excited.]

[kettchmeifucan.livejournal.com]

It would infinitely improve anything this lot has. The drones are so boring.

[doofenstrudel]

The fifties were not a particularly interesting decade, or so I have been lead to believe. Interesting vans would not be on theme for this place.

So... to pay for this thing. We can work out some sort of payment plan? Possibly barter? How do you operate, here?
