i was gonna pay for it, pidge
it's not stealing if i give them money for it
jeez oh ye of little faith

there's this guy who runs a coffee shop out of a train car he fixed up and it looks like shit and he keeps parking it in front of every starmiebucks he can find and stealing our customers

[pidge_out]

isn't the good stuff expensive?! you're already getting custom mugs for everyone!


oh

should we vandalize his train car, then?

[spacebaloney]

employee discounts comes through once again!

nah. vandalizing it would just make it more alluring
it looks like shit already so probably won't even make a difference you can see

[pidge_out]

you're truly a model employee

ok fine, no vandalizing, but we could sabotage it. if it's a train car then it's on a track, and i could probably put together something that'll control it remotely and make it go to the middle of nowhere

[spacebaloney]

pidge, i swear it's magic
it's a train car but it's not on a track
like i don't know how it works but he just rolls around in it like it's a regular car

[pidge_out]

even better! i could totally create some kind of remote control system for a thing that functions like a car

[spacebaloney]

s w e e t
maybe if he shows up tomorrow i'll text you to come and check out his claptrap of a coffeeshop
i'm telling you, pidge
i'm surprised the health department hasn't shut it down

[pidge_out]

perfect. let me know. :D

so wait, he just drives it around and parks it in front of cafes to steal customers??

[spacebaloney]

any starmiebucks he can find, he's out there
it's harassment, i tell ya!

[pidge_out]

then you've gotta launch into corporate warfare
and like i said, i'll totally help

[Pidge isn't actually sure if this is a Thing. Economics is not among her knowledge fortes. But it sounds like a Thing and honestly? She does like the idea of helping Lance rip someone a new one. Clearly being involved in a space war for so long has had a lasting influence.]

[spacebaloney]

[Economics isn't Lance's strong suit either. He's just here for the action. And to be honest, it feels nice that Pidge is so willing to help him go up against a coffee rival without much questioning of Lance's motives. It's no aliens or robeats, but something simple and dumb. He kind of didn't expect it.]

okay cool
i'll go track his movements
oh and you gotta watch out for his barista
it's this stupid emo coffin hipster fuck with a ton of hands

[pidge_out]

[What does Lance's reasoning here matter to her, really? The enemy of her friend is also her enemy, right?

Plus it just sounds fun.]

a ton of hands? Is it an alien like Slav?

[spacebaloney]

no, he's a pokemon
like you know those egyptian mummy coffins?
he looks like one of those, only he has more than two hands
he also has emo bangs

[pidge_out]

i'm gonna just take your word for it
