- Dear Mr. Justin Lumber,
Your application for the purchase of the property dirt patch outside of the tunnel in Aahzville Forest has been approved. However, during satellite analysis and land surveying, we discovered inexplicable deficiencies. The legally required fences, which secure the path in this area, have mysteriously disappeared... You may already acquire the property, but before carrying out any construction project there, you must restore the path’s security and apply for a building permit. The cost of the property amounts to 256 dollars.
Sincerely,
Tilda van Yardstick, Cadastral Office - Erect the original fences {current}/{target}
- Pay 256 dollars for the property.
- No.
- Shred all files {current}/{target}
- Dismantle the Tent
- Dismantle Camping Chair
- Put away the Camping Lamp
- Put away the Backpack
- Put away the Scooter
- Put away the Camping Bottle
- Set up your mailbox by the roadside
- Lay the groundwork and raise your home from it
- Collect the letter at your mailbox

Yo, axe boy! Step over here. We need to chat.
Alright, apprenticeship years are over. Time to set you free.
Unleash your inner capitalist! We need cold, hard capital to get this business up and running.
I’m talking sweet, delicious money cash, dough, dineros, the green stuff.
Furnox never sleeps... Start selling stuff and make us some moola!
I'm on the case.
Very nice, do you hear this?
Money talks...
...and I listen.
And right now it says: headquarters. Go buy some dirt for our home base! The official stamp-stamper in the tunnel should help you out.
Land. Got it.
...
Hello?
...
...
HELLO?
...
Wait...What...Ah. Good day sir. Yes? Do you... wish to speak with me?
Yes, I have a request.
What... is it?
I want to buy land.
I am... the person designated for such consultations. Please... take a seat. Or stand. It does not matter. Rules permit either. Technically. Now... the matter at hand. What land do you want to buy?
The dirt patch outside the tunnel.
Very well. Form 42 B, subsection 7, paragraph... four. Yes. You need to fill it out... in triplicate. I will submit... your request to my collegues at the cadastral office and... send you a letter when they are ready.
Perfect, how long will it take?
Ahmmm. Since we’re working with one of the leading postal companies, the letter should arrive very soon.
Okay, I will check
If it meets... minimum requirements for mail receipt and please ensure... it is properly labeled. Yes. Labels... are... important.
Alright.
Very nice.
Hey, partner! How’s it going? Managed to boost our business yet? Please tell me you’ve got good news.
We are able to buy this land.
Splendid! Now take some of our hard-earned cash and do the unthinkable invest it. We need a headquarters, and sadly, they don’t just sprout out of dirt for free.
About those fences...
You mean the recycled ones? What about them?
They secured the path
Oh, come on, that was a solid kickstart and you know it. It’s one of those ridiculous government rules, you know, the kind designed to make your life slightly more annoying. Opportunity knocks, you toss coins. Simple. You’ll fix things soon. For now, buy the property. The rest can wait.
Uaah... good morni... I mean... welcome back. My colleagues have... communicated to me that the evaluation... of your plans has yielded a positive result. Yes. Positive... indeed. With the letter it is officially confirmed. At this point you may deliberate... on the subsequent actions.
Buy the property.
So you wish to purchase... the property. Very well. Technically... all is in order. The cost of the land amounts to 256 dollars. Yes. Fifty... dollars. Once payment is received... the property may be officially transferred to your name.
Pay
Thank you for completing... the purchase. Congratulations... you are now officially the owner of the property. Is there... anything else with which I may... assist you?
Apply for building permit
Ah... yes. I... see. You want to submit an application... for a building permit. Very well. Technically... all is in order. However the process will take some time. Yes. Considerable... time. Patience is recommended. Additionally... before any construction may commence... the security standards for the path in this area must... be fully met. Fences as prescribed by law must... be in place. Only then may your plans proceed... further.
I will fix those fences.
Uaah... wha... ah. Yes... yes... I am awake. Working hard on stuff... I am starting to get used to those axe vibrations. A rather unconventional alarm clock. But... technically very effective nonetheless. What... can I do for you?
I repaired the fences
Ah... yes. I... see. The fences have been repaired. Excellent. Or at least... structurally sufficient. This fulfills the minimum requirements... for path security. Yes, the path is now... compliant.
What about the building permit?
Together with my colleagues... at the building authority we are already working very hard on your building permit. Extremely... hard. And yet... it will still take time. Such a complex request generates... an extraordinary amount of paperwork. Paperwork about paperwork. The hurdle is large. Very large. You must understand... yours is not the only request awaiting attention.
Is there a way to speed things up?
Let me... think about it. Stamping permits... is not allowed. Signing applications... also... strictly forbidden. Counting passing vehicles... likewise a definite no. But you could assist us with shredding files. Yes. That task... is permissible. It also happens to be next on my list. A very long list. The work takes considerable time... because so many old documents have accumulated. Mountains of them. Entire bureaucratic landscapes of them.
Oh, an intern job, great...
May I... classify your response as affirmative... or negative?
Yes, sure.
Alright... thank you for your cooperation. This will... considerably reduce your waiting time. I will instruct my colleague at the post office to airdrop some of these files to you. However... do not be surprised, it is a substantial amount. Quite... a lot, in fact.
It's fine.
Understandable. In this case... you must wait for the permit to overcome the necessary bureaucratic hurdles. It will take...time...
Okay
Uaah... whaah. I am... awake. Just resting my eyes... in accordance with break regulation §312, subsection three. I have received confirmation from my colleagues... that the files have been successfully reduced... to confetti. Thank you. Excellent work. Truly... efficient. You have saved the office several weeks... of procedural fatigue.
What about the permit?
Oh, the permit... We did our part and your building permit has finally... completed its long bureaucratic journey. Official. Approved. Valid. Congratulations are... in order. You may now... proceed with your construction plans.
Nice, thank you!
Well, thank you for your patience and help and good luck... with the construction.
Uaah... wha ah. I am... awake. Just resting my eyes... in accordance with break regulation §312, subsection three. How can I help you?
