St-Patrick-Hartbrooke considers hiring a barrister, but decides against it for this season. Rumour has reached his ears that Karekin is planning on suing the metaphorical pants off of the blackhearted, Janus-faced, deplorable sentient who diverted much-needed funds away from the medical mission. And while it’s true that the Space Griffin could probably take advantage of his status and hire the attorney out from under the financier, it matters little to him who gets the money so long as it’s not that one.
That one has enough properties of dubious provenance that pure chance may result in redistribution from the wicked to the righteous even without action. As such, the Taaa’Keee will leave matters in the Lord’s, and Mr. Karekin’s, capable hands.
Besides, there is a much more important and urgent matter at hand: the rescue of the medical convoy. The lion’s share of his income must, by all means, be contributed towards this worthy cause; he is, after all, one of the few who can make such a contribution.
Most of the income will go there, but not all, however. The Governor’s Ball approaches, and St-Patrick-Hartbrooke has the unshakeable feeling that now is the proper time to move into a better dwelling; such a thing might make all the difference in the season ahead. He shall also keep on his physician; another season like this last one, if God should desire such a thing, and he will once again be the picture of health.
Finally, after spartan season as the one previous, he would indulge himself slightly (but only slightly) — his choice for mayoral candidate is not what he would consider the “patriotic” one, so he feels the need to display his loyalty to the King more overtly.
Still, he will not go overboard; he will refrain from purchasing anything particularly expensive, and he will not gamble away funds which could be better spent to assist the plague victims of Weatherby.
The decision made, he commits his choices to the Public Ledger and awaits news of the fate of the medical supplies with bated breath.

The air burns tonight with the screeching scream of a thousand tons of gleaming steel pushing against the might of a planet’s atmosphere only to end with a not too distant boom
A bedraggled space sailor stumbles into the room while the gathered gentlesentients politely ignore the state of his still-blazing clothes
Beg you pardons kind folk, Cmdr. Capstanturnbuckle sends along this message with his apologies, seems another landing- while an entirely successful landing I must assure you- as the ship has found the ground, is detained in the outskirts where it seems the shanty town got underneath 'em.
Ah, yes, beggin’ your pardon miss, ah yes, you (looks at @Hadley), if you aren’t in a mind to finish that drink could you be so kind as to pour it on my back? I seems to still be slightly on fire.

Three scotches later, with the sound of the clattering press drowning out everything but his own thoughts (hearing protection? Yes, he remembers something about that being a rule. His rule. Yeah, good, so he can break it, right? Makes sense) Liv comes to a decision.
It’s all bullshit, anyways. He might as well. It’s a lead. What’s the worst that could happen?
Better th’n spending time listening to those airheads prattle and pretend that the desperate preening and bowing is anything less than prostitution. They could at least be honest about it. That’s the problem. Th’ 'pocrisy surrounding the whole thing. It’s like deliberately cocooning yourself in an arachnoid’s web and then pretending it’s anything other than suicide.
He makes his way to the bettor’s window and carefully counts out a stack of notes.

I do hope Her Honor recognizes the seriousness of a Society Lizard who doesn’t waste precious resources on a frivolous carriage rental that is so obviously designed to turn the heads of the slackjawed empty-headed dilettanti. Important matters are at hand, and I simply must be heard.
And if there’s any hope at all for the Captain’s soul, I hope to find it at the Ball.

I was like stuck up in that tree for hours! Just Like a dirty shopping bag, blown by the wind. I like think I’m thinking straight, but I feel so terrible. But you know what space ledger? Hallucinating on back alley tonics gives you perspective!
Like, what have I been doing with my life? Amassing this fortune in this tiny apartment! I might even die tomorrow maybe! But not before I go to that ball, and get my moneys worth at the buffet!!!
Glob, treat every day like its your last! Maybe I’ll even fall in love.
