Tiggy buggers orf the moment he has permission; since you're the newbie, Dungface puts you on Peelen Dooty, which he hadnt dared wiv Tiggy.
This involves mooshing and scraping and shelling fings wot the In-Turns sent on Curletten Dooty bring back from the forests and mountains. It's dumb needful work; once you get the hang of how it's done, you get Uptush to do it. He has no choice.
Dungface is envious you got a Droog of your own. Since you're arsken what else is there to do, he teaches you the Dok's Bizniz.
Greenies don't have writing, so there's no tallybooks and chitties like the Weak Races do; the inventory is memorized, pegged at what each should be traded for, and the haul of Stuff received passed back to Dok. It is in the interest of the In-Turns to haggle with customers and not steal anyfin from the pile of Take revenue, because if Dok doesn't like how small the haul is the In-Turn gets a new product tested on him.
In-Turns like the Shammies employ are drafted at will, with the ShammyBoss authority. To keep peace Shammies don't usually poach their help from the Warlords and Raiders' troops, limiting themselves to picking smarty Gobbz from among the unemployed rabble.
The intelligence test for getting volunteered is as follows: "you gonna work for Shammy X, or do you prefer being turned into a newt?" The correct answer is, "no, newt please," at which they are made In-Turns. Answering "yes" gets you put in a Train Gang, sent to explore where it's too dangerous for the Shammy to follow, or getting spells and potions tested on, or as bait; usually a Bad End for most Gobbs.
When you got the inventory down Dungface goes out "<span class="mu-g">ferra smoak</span> and doesn't come back for many many Times 4hrs.
You make the trades like you're supposed to, using all your chatty skillz to bump up your takings. When Uptush is worn out wiv Peelen Dooty you send him out to trade some of the take for ovva Stuffs dats wanted, then to fetch DirtyNuggz to do a share of Peelen.
When Dungface finally appears again, just in time to close shop for dindins, you punch him inna meof with no explanation, and rob him, putting everything he has on him on the Take pile.
"<span class="mu-r">Yer fired. Teach me everfin you know, and if I get in trouble wiv Dok I'mma find yer n skinn yer.</span>"
To you you mean bizniz you stab him, half seriously, wiv GOLDIE. Shaking wiv pain he teaches you everfin else an In-Turn should know: how many days Dok usually takes between leaving and coming back, the best selling items, where the In-Turn pilfer stash is.
DirtyNuggs, hands itchy to the elbows for making ninyak shreds without glubbz, gets sent to fetch the In-Turn pilferage, all added to the Take pile.
Dok will be back either Moon-High tonight or Sun-Drop tomarer 12am or 3pm to check on the shop. Dok doesn't need kip or nosh when he's here, but if you want to butter him up overboil some hake tea wiv sinnimin peppah.
