I have a folding, padded deck chair for free to whomsoever wants it. It hovers and possesses a self-cooling and self-heating cup holder.

It is somewhat burnt on one side and requires repair.

Last time it was sugar and now a chair.
You are very generous
I am afraid I do not have use for it but if I may ask, do chairs normally hover here?

[dragonfall]

I've no need for the chair, as I had no need for the sugar. Tossing it would add yet more to the copious amounts of waste this city seems to generate.

Yes. There are many models that hover.

[mingyues]

Again, that is truly very thoughtful of you
Ah
Are
Are they safe?

[dragonfall]

[ Grumble grumble he's not thoughtful grumble. ]

When operated correctly, yes.

[mingyues]

Was it operated wrongly? Is that why it requires repair?
Or was it simple wear and tear?

[dragonfall]

In a manner of speaking.

Do not have long or dragging cloth or hair near the hover mechanism.

[mingyues]

Oh..
Oh were you injured?

[dragonfall]

No.

My hair at the time was too long.

[mingyues]

Were you forced to cut it thanks to the chair?

[dragonfall]

Yes.

But my hair was of unusual length. Sanguis always causes it to grow excessively and I was not as diligent with cutting it as I typically am.

[mingyues]

Still, maybe the chair was badly designed? A lot of individuals here have long hair...

[dragonfall]

My hair during the Sanguis cycle frequently reaches my ankles.

[mingyues]

Your


Your ankles?
Oh.
I am beginning to understand the problem.

[dragonfall]

Yes.

Naught else but my dignity was harmed. My hair is a reasonable length now.

[mingyues]

That is fortunate. Are there any safety mechanisms on the chair to prevent this from happening again?

There are plenty of people with long hair here who could find themselves in a position to have their dignity injured.

[dragonfall]

No, but I have communicated the fault to the new owner of the item. She expressed interest in improving upon it.

[mingyues]

Is tinkering with things like that... safe?
Perhaps someone should look in on her
Right?

[dragonfall]

I can only assume she knows what she is doing.

She had an automaton companion, I think of her own make.

[mingyues]

I suppose that if anything happens you or I will hear about it.

[dragonfall]

You are more likely to know of it than I.

I utilize this network only for the exchange of items.

[mingyues]

Oh, are you a merchant of some kind then? Though you are always giving things away for free so... you are a generous merchant if so.

[ is that a joke? perhaps. ]

[dragonfall]

...no.

[ Maaaaybe he is smirking a little on the other end. ] I just have no need for certain things and am not inclined for smalltalk otherwise.

[mingyues]

Is that so? You are a very pleasant smalltalk partner so far.

Oh, this reminds me. I hope that if you do find liquid sugar you will let me know first. I have two young people who enjoyed it immensely.

[dragonfall]

[ Makes a face at being called a good conversationalist. ]

I have had no need for it again, but I can send you the address of the shop.

[mingyues]

Oh, it's mostly just the price. Like you said it is not cheap.
