Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Sure - I'm putting it out as many places as possible. I have every intention of keeping on plugging.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

It's a scam. Stay away from it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How does the scam work?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Everyone wins, and they encourage you to buy the book - why not a copy for each of your relatives?

More or less. And then they "automatically enter" you in in contests with bigger and bigger prizes, which you keep winning, and they keep selling you more and more expensive books.

Oh, they really give out the prize to someone. That's why they've not been shut down yet. But you get to be a "runner up" or somesuch (they change it around a lot) and no matter what, you have to buy the book.

They have an horrendous reputation. A lot of people, myself included, see them as nothing but scavangers.

Huh. They say you can't con an honest mark, but that's just semantics. You can sure fool honest people into giving you money for nothing.
