My main character has ordered a breeding trio of from . There's some paperwork to be done first, so I don't expect them to arrive very soon, but my character's g/f has decided to get in on the act.

I wrote:

PS My girlfriend was asking about a , but I told her that it was most unlikely that you would have one in stock.

Lad wrote:

i am try to find for my girlfriend. i knew of a man that had about 8 in stock but just that he relocated to a new site . so i will find him today and get to you ok.

And then as a PS to another message about the weasels:

Lad wrote:

He's bad at reading the messages.... Anyway, good news here.

G/f wrote:

My boyfriend has told me you have some s for sale, and I’ve wanted one for simply ages. Can you please let me know how much they cost, what vaccinations they have had, and a photo of them? I'd like only one, but it must be healthy and glimmering. Can you recommend one? What is its name?
Love

PS Just so you know what I look like...

And she attached a topless photo of herself (bonding, you know).

Great news:

Many thanks for all the information. is a lovely name for a , don't you think? 9 months seems about right as the age as well, and I am so glad that she (it is a she, isn't it?) is glimmering. How tall is she, and how much does she weigh? Do you know? I am sure that I will need some certificates before she can be imported into Japan. Let me ask the ministry what is needed.

I'll tell my boyfriend (we're not married yet!!) about the weasels. I think he said there was some problem with the certificate when he came back from the Ministry. Maybe he'll contact you about it soon.

I'm looking forward to the photo!

Love
xxxx

PS Did you like my photo? Don't tell my boyfriend, but I'm sending you another one.

And so she does - a bit more showing this time... And the lad comes back within 15 minutes.

Lad wrote:

ok,i will varify the information from my friend and get back to you with the weight and the high ok. she is a female. you just get back with the certificate that will be use to ship her to you. i will get back to you with the recent pictures when we take one this afternoon. please tell you boyfried that let him get back to me with the complain so that i can correct it immediately before the animal ship to him.

thanks for your fast reply.

A bit of a wait (several hours) and then:

Lad wrote:

i was able to get the pictures ok. she weight 8.5. as for the certificate, it too expensive to get. if you could send the money so that he can use part to prepare the certificate and use part for the shipping then that will be good. the total cost is 1300euro. please we send the the picture but our scanner was bad i do not know if it reaches you.

you a beautiful i saw you pictures attach to us.

Actually, the model I choose for this character is quite beautiful and she's done a lot of photo shoots, it seems, which allows me to send a variety of pictures to lads. And a few hours later on:

Lad wrote:

i like your photo ok. i will attach you the pictures of the very early in the morning as we had a problem with our scanner and i am not sure you receive the picture. you are sexy and lovely.

He never sent a damn thing, of course. He's still trying to figure out what a is, I reckon.

G/f wrote:

No photo of yet. I think your scanner must be broken. Can you draw a picture of her? [long shot, but worth a try]

As far as certificates are concerned, yes, I do need one for . The main problem with is , apparently, and there needs to be a letter signed by an approved practitioner that she () has not been in contact with any infected birds or reptiles for the past 6 months. Can you get that to me before you ship to me?

I'll pay you by , shall I?

Love
xxx

PS I am so glad you like my photos. Here's another for you.

This one was pretty explicit, but still far from tasteless. A bit of a gap (Jude is busy talking to main character about payment modalities in the meantime) and then g/f writes:

G/f wrote:

Where is the picture of ? You said it was on the way. I have the money ready to transfer to your bank account as soon as I can get the photo and the certificates to be approved.

Love
xxxx

PS When you send a photo of , please send a photo of yourself as well - I want to know what you look like. I do hope you like my pictures.

He does like the pictures:

Lad wrote:

well baby,
please i am very sorry ok just that my scanner is bad and i promise you that you will get the pictures tomorrow since i will have to use a public internel to do that.
i will also send you my photo.
Please take care.
Loves.

He sent this twice, as well as an almost identical message to the main character, explaining why he couldn't send some certificates.

Now this one, appearing after a short while, was a little mysterious:

Lad wrote:

please, i am not familiar with public computers ok so i decided to get a new one. i will attach you the documents tomorrow. please do not be angry

And at last:

Lad wrote:

Hello [g/f's family name],
i am sorry for the late reply ok. i send you the picture ok. i think it will be better for you to send me the money so that i can take care of the certificate. you will only do this when i send my ID care to your boy friend. please get back foe more details of payment.
take care.

[actual size]

The "ID" is to do with the payment modality for the weasels. Expect a trophy soon.

At least he could've bothered to do a proper google search for a real picture, like this one:

or this one: http://www.dougherring.com/NorWesCon2007/NorWesCon_Manticore_Xena.jpg
