The complete worst. Especially if it's just one screw or something small like that, so the person would think they'd just lost it somewhere and keep looking... and looking... That would be terrible.

[eyestitch]

i can't believe anyone would think of something awful like that! you know that particle board furniture, too; it's all just kind of thrown in the box like yesterday's leftovers! who's to say who assembled those boxes?

well, at least screws are replaceable, so he wouldn't be stuck for long, right? [Maybe you need a different idea after all.]

[thesettingsun]

But there are 5000 types of screws. Wouldn't it be a shame if he bought one type and waited it for it to arrive in the mail only to realize that wasn't what he needed?

[eyestitch]

i guess that'd depend on jim being ignorant enough to order the wrong type of screw in the first place! or the listing being wrong on accident...

it could be a real gamble! but maybe you're into games of chance like that?

[thesettingsun]

Not really. But Jim doesn't strike me as especially intelligent.

[eyestitch]

true that!

i'm just thinking, he's the r&d guy, the tech type...maybe he's better with screws than with...people!

[Was she going to say something inappropriate there? Probably.]

[thesettingsun]

[Who wouldn't, given the opportunity?]

That's true... Maybe we can get him something that will make him have to be on the phone with a help line if he wants to get any use out of it?

[eyestitch]

smart home system! but like, one of the really really REALLY dumb ones, like the kind that just monitors your fridge temperature and how much ice you have.

i hope there's something like that on his registry...or addable to his registry.

[thesettingsun]

I don't think you can add things to other people's registries unless you're a hacker or something.

[eyestitch]

alas, not one of my many talents!

seriously, i'm pretty well-rounded!

you know anybody?

[thesettingsun]

Nope. I can get you a bunch of fine arts majors if you want them, though.

usually i photoshop out the blue but i'm really lazy tonight so PLEASE PRETEND

[eyestitch]

kids these days! seriously, doesn't anyone branch out outside of their majors?

fine arts, though...maybe we can work with that. any actors? 🎭

what blue I only see grey

[thesettingsun]

I'm sure I know some guys who know guys. And at least a couple people who would be naturals.

bless you

[eyestitch]

then how about some in-fil-tr-tion~?

or, well, i guess that other guy who responded to my post was talking abt a stakeout

but! a concerned relative could probably get some information, right? if they wanted to surprise their beloved family member, right? right?

[thesettingsun]

A stakeout is probably safer. I don't think anyone could convincingly pretend to be a relative of Jim or Janet with the amount of information we have now.

[eyestitch]

that's unsettling. they're really good at keeping things under wraps 🙀

well, here's what he's suggested so far: we could pretend 2 be high-end shoppers looking for goods at the towers. that was, we have a reason to be there! + we can stay as long as we want because you can't rush beauty~ 😉

[thesettingsun]

You could probably pretend to be rich af. Or actually be rich af, some of the people on Retrospec are.
