Sharpie: Nuisances are DLEP territory... ...so I gotta fill a “please take this guy away” form.

Sharpie: Done.

Stygian Lord: Is that all?

Sharpie: No. The service’s paid with cups of glup, so I make ’em.

Sharpie: Tha’s all.

Stygian Lord says:

Most guard services are covered by offertory. However, “please take this guy away” requires immediate payment as glup to disincentivize arguing people and groups from trying to have others removed from places where they don’t want to see them.

I’m not proud to say I have read the entire thing. But it was one of the only things available to me back when I was learning to read and write.
