#ScribesAndMakers Feb 5. You now have the same occupation as the main character of your current WIP (or book you are reading/last read) What job are you doing?
Trying to figure out how to steal a planetary treasury *and get away with it* (the latter is the hard part).
@cstross I have faith in you.
@cstross Mimic exterminator! As such, one of the lowest ranked members of a police state ruling a constantly expanding pseudomedieval megastructure arcology who are explicitly seeking to build a fantasy ecumenopolis.
Honestly not the worst job, except for the inherent culpability in the horrifying inequality and social abuses of the megastructure which definitely isn't a barely concealed allegory for capitalism. Definitely not. 😂
@cstross Simple, become the planetary bank! When you, a consumer, lose $100k, it's your problem. When the bank loses the planetary treasury, it's everyone's problem.
@cstross I'm wearing black, of various shades. Let's call it ... politics.
@cstross Maybe Zaphod has ideas
@cstross Maid with autism who solves mysteries and murders.
