Notes is the fake currency I invented for the P&A world. There are 3 Stoats in a Groat and 49 Groats in a Note. One Note, at the current exchange rate, is worth, roughly £1.00000010000000000002 approximately.

Dear Professor Hakon, The Downer Newspaper, and Affiliates,

I would like to know, how shall the move of Gondor take place? This might be problematic for the citizens, I mean if you move them, will you be able to move Minas Tirith and other important cities and landmarks too? If not, where will all of the Gondorians live? They must have homes, at least boxes to live in. Shouldn't this mistake done by the cartographers be amended by more efficient and reasonable methods?

Yours,
A Troubled Resident of Middle-Earth.

I applaud Esty going from drinking to the wholesome past time of kiddie snatching. Children and the public never get along.

Though, I was curious whether any were available for loan, you know, just for the use of a decoy in WW? I have a rather unfortunate affliction of sneakiness that I want to distract with the insufferable innocence of a child's cuteness. It's a sure way to survive voting in the future.

We propose to bribe Sauron to use his mighty powers and shiny ring to erect all new cities in the new location. The cartographers cannot amend their mistake for they are all dead. When the King of Gondor found out he had them killed. It is truly a shame. I hope I have answered all your questions concerned citizen.

Our flashback continues!!

Philip Hampton has a meeting with the young Soap Pope. Miss Collins appears to be making something of a plan...

Don't forget that if you've lost track of The Phantom and Alien in these confusing and silly stories I'm weaving around, you can look back though the...

PHANTOM AND ALIEN
COMIC ARCHIVE THING!

Come back on Monday for the further adventures of Philip and Miss Collins. Then there will be one last episode in the past of the past before we go back to the, um, normal past? Future? Thing. Stupid time differential.

Not to bloat the thread or anything, but you could coat your floating currency with many a pretty doting quote.

And I pray you, good m'lord, smote me not for this revolting thought.

How much is Doting on an Oat, or voting on a Gloat

Of further note, I vote that floating groats for doting on quotes with rote emotes does indeed bloat like a mote-eyed stoat in a sinking boat on a moat, or perhaps an oat compote stuck in one's throat.
