"Hm?" He surfaces from a daydream. "Oh, right. That's... good," he replies, unsure of what you said.

Your eyes slide back to the 700 reál modified street light you traded for shares. The golden light seems to flicker ever so slightly, like a butterfly... It casts shadows on the sign.

It reads: 'SOLD TO THE DISCO COP FOR SHARES IN M-K MERCURY GROUP.' The words are written with an even kerning in bold, precise letters.

Looks surprisingly official for a small-time trader. Some of your big-biz flair must be rubbing off on him.

The pole has been carefully cut, the wiring redone and attached to a standard indoor plug. The light buzzes faintly but persistently.

"Uh," comes a voice from behind the glass. "One quick question. How do I get hold of my shares?"

Still the same. The pole has been carefully cut, the wiring redone and attached to a standard indoor plug. The light buzzes faintly but persistently.

Street lights like this one were part of a renovation effort a few decades back. Sadly, the effort was abandoned before it was completed -- and so these lights still illuminate crumbling streets.

- "Where did you get this?"
- Let your gaze run over the street light.
- "Let's talk about trading those shares again."
- "Let's talk about this trade then, if you're happy with shares?" (Start hustling.)
- There's nothing else you need to know about the light. [Leave.]
- "Is that a street light?"
- "How much for the street light?"
- "I want that street light. Here's 700."Remembered · 1

"You have to admit, it's rather clever, what he's done with it." He pauses, studying the light.

The light's buzzing resembles the purring of a cat. It seems very much at home here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing? That street light isn't worth anywhere near that much. Reel it in, moneybags. Or do you like being bankrupt?

"Alright, you have a deal. The street light is all yours." His shoulders relax as if a load has been lifted off them. "Pleasure doing business with you."

The pawnshop owner uprights himself back into view with the stiffness of an old ironing board. "Here we go," he says, holding a piece of cardboard out at you.

"It's a sign that declares you the owner of the street light. Stick it on and people will know that it's yours."

Great idea! One of your physical assets on display for the public. Maybe this was a good idea after all. We could sell tickets for people to come see it, turn this into a little money churner...

- "I assure you it's not." He runs a finger along its edge. "See? Not a scratch. Now, please, take it and stick it on the street light. That way people will know it's yours."
- "It's a sign that declares you the owner of the street light. Stick it on and people will know that it's yours."
- He hands you the cardboard and you notice there's something written on it. "Stick this to the light and people will know that it's yours."
- "Oh, nothing like that." He is completely unfazed by your statement. "Just this sign that declares you the owner of the street light. Stick it on and people will know that it's yours."
But let's come back to that idea later. There's easier money to be made elsewhere. Just get that sign stuck on there for now.
