"...Junk. Junk. Insurance junk. Junk. Flyer for the New Ninja Turtles Pizza place, that's a keeper. I'll just stick that on the fridge. Junk. "You may already be a winner" junk. Junk. And more junk. Just these two, today. Three with the flyer."

Dave nodded. "Bring them over, Harls. What about this one?" He asked taking a bite of his food and showing Tink.

Tink shook her head. "Not "open" enough. I'd like a place that's big enough to do some flying around in... this one?" She did the same.

Dave shook his head. "Too out of town and pricy. We don't need an island. It is nice though. I can see why it caught your eye. Harls you look too." He passed her the tablet and took the letters she had grabbed from their mail.

He blinked and then sighed before he opened the first one. "Bet I know what this is."

"No bet," Harls said. "How bout this'n?"

He looked. "Isn't that the Teen Titans Tower?"

Tink made a face. "Too post modern for me... neat though."

Dave nodded. "Same as the island. Cool but can't justify the need of the expense... and I was right. There's gonna be another Gardner baby. Again!"

"Yikes!" Tink says. "The Gardner Clan take over of Prime is getting closer and closer with every one."

Harley laughed. "They got the numbers! Knew it when I saw the envelope. What did we send the last one again, Pep?"

(("A Ms Nanny version of the Mr Handy robot model, Harley. It was well received."))

"Maybe we can do that again. This one?" She asked.

Dave and Tink laughed. "That one really is a evil villain lair complete with volcano!" Dave shook his head opening the next letter. "Way too impractical... oh, RealDreams... they're having another auction or event of somekind? Pepper?"

(("One moment... According to Friday your Father doesn't plan on attending so he had them pass along the invitations to you. Apparently it's a character exposition & showcase and one of the events is a character "exhibit" of sorts. He felt it would be a good opportunity for Custom Character Creations to generate more interest if you enter a creation or a few. Winners of their category will win prizes and if they wish may auction off their "pieces".There will also be a gala and previously mentioned auctions."))

Dave shook his head. "But we don't just make characters on a whim. They're customized to each individual client. It's not like we keep a menagerie for people to "ooh" and "ahh" over. So we'd have nothing to show at this little "art show" of theirs... plus you know the big winners will be whatever freaky weird sex stuff they can up with."

(("True and that always sells bit you have to remember your business as well. People have seen bimbo and himbo and herm versions of every kind of character out there. If they're not crazy particular they can order what they want online and have it sent to their home. But that also means they're looking for the new and unique. Something special and well crafted. That's why he suggested you have some of your clients attend or you bring one of the ones you made for 3S."))

"Or," Tink butted in. "We could make one! There's still time right? And you just said we'd buy our first additional characters for yourself... what if you made something. Something custom for yourself for a change?"

Dave blinked. "Yeah ok. I see your point but the problem is vision. Without a clear vision in mind to work off of it's hard to come up with ideas. I mean we haven't even discussed what we want or need or nailed down a home yet-"

"Hey," Harley said. "You wanted some place with space and away but too far away and wasn't too modern so what about this?" She showed them.

"Whoa," said Tink. "Why didn't we see this one before?"

Harkey grinned. "Cause it ain't a "house"! So technically it gets listed under miscellaneous. I wasn't just looking at lairs, though this'll fit that too."

Dave blinked. "Yeah because it's a small castle... isn't that over the top, impractical and a bit of a waste of spa- wait. Why is it so cheap? I mean it's still expensive but it's not insanely so."

"Right?" Harls said nodding. "It's cheaper than some of the ones yall were looking at so I figured maybe we should look?"

Tink was nodding too. "And it's big but it's not insanely big. The "modern furnishings" are a bit out of date but it beats the hell out of living in a basement and it has a fair bit of property. The locations funky. It's a bit further out of town but it's not that far. It's actually near your cousins neighborhood but not in it. More behind and up into the hills. And..."

Dave nodded too. "And it's not the ranch! It's big but not insane. Pepper, arrange a walkthrough with the realtor please? It's got possibilities. Cheaper than an island resort, Titans Tower or a volcano lair at any rate. We'll definitely need some staff though..."

Harley and Tink nodded. "Maid or a butler or both and a grounds keeper or a cook wouldn't hurt," Harley said.

Tink nodded. "And most of all they need to be a good "fit" with all of us and someone you like too, Dave. Possibly custom candidate entries as well... let's start brainstorming... and you know what that means!" She grinned winking.

Harley grinned and winked too. "Yup! Inspiration time for our "artist"!"

Dave gulped. "Uh oh... ok, girls... easy... easy!"
