I remembered my favourite bookstore is my favourite. Man. Man. There was a beautiful hardback copy of Infernal Devices, and all of the Old Kingdom Trilogy, and pretty much every Terry Pratchett book ever, and Elements of Style (which I really ought to buy someday), and-

LARKLIGHT.

LARKLIGHT WAS THERE.

I HELD IT IN MY HAND AND SMELLED THE PAGES. IT IS SO WELL PRESENTED I WANTED TO SHOPLIFT IT. THE ILLUSTRATIONS, MAN.

MAN.

WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO BROKE

Also: a situation.

[You are in a crowded shopping centre at the close of day. Five separate and discordant pop songs are blasting you from three separate and discordant clothing stores, and people of every age and description (but mostly teenaged and apathetic) surround you. There are exits to the north, east and south.]

_go east

[You are in a clothing store. The clothes are primarily primary colours. There is a ten dollar note on the ground to your right. There is a shop assistant hanging shirts to your far right. Exits to the east and west.]

_pick up note

[There is no note.]

_pick up money

[Ten dollar note is added to your inventory.]

_talk to assistant

[She stares at you, a little bemused.]

_pause iPod player

[You tap the lower edge of the clickwheel and the song pauses.]

_talk to assistant

"Can I help you?"

_give money to assistant

[You hold out the money. She takes it, still looking rather bemused.]

"What's this for?"

_point

[You point vaguely at the location where you found the money, muttering an explanation.]

"Oh! Thank you. We'll try and see if we can return it."

[Light side points gained!]

I think this proves that I would not make a very good Sith, and also that I am a colossal geek.

You see a bandwagon. Jump on?

[Yes]

Comment to this post with an idea for a Top Five list (for example, Five Time Hester Failed To Punch Anyone, or Five Times Garrett's Cynicism Backfired On Him , or Five Things Big Boss Wishes He Hadn't Eaten). Then, ~~in a separate post~~ in reply to your comment, I will compile the requested list, according to me. Multiple requests are welcomed.
