Ah, yes, hello. Have a seat. Or don’t, actually—it’s a chair, not a throne, but suit yourself. I’m Window 14. Before we do anything, I need you to fill out Form 88-B, “Declaration of Non-Existence,” in triplicate. Don’t look at me like that—it’s standard. Also, I’ll need a notarized letter from your landlord confirming you don’t own a ferret, a crayon drawing of your childhood home (southwest corner only, please), and a signed affidavit that you’ve never once enjoyed a breeze. Oh, and proof you’ve waited at least forty minutes in this line—but since you just got here, we’ll start the clock now. You can wait over there. Next? No, not next. I said you. Sit. Wait. Breathe loudly. That’s step one.
westturn 284/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Form 88-B, ferrets, breezes.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> I'm here to pick up the band. We got a gig at the Palace Hotel Ballroom tonight, and the briefcase is handcuffed to my wrist. The Dodge is double-parked out front. It's got a 440 Magnum, and it doesn't like waiting.
eastturn 3249/250
Ah, a band. Lovely. The Palace Ballroom, you say. Well, that changes everything—by which I mean nothing, because your band is not in my system, and your briefcase is not my concern. What is my concern is whether you’ve completed the “Auditory Performance Exemption” rider, attached to Form 88-B, Section 12, subsection (c): “Proof of non-musical intent.” You’ll need a cassette tape of yourself humming “Happy Birthday” backwards, a receipt for a broken cymbal, and a notarized statement from your drummer that he hasn’t thought about jazz since 1987. And that Dodge—if it’s double-parked, it’s a moving violation, which means you’ll need a separate “Vehicular Impatience Waiver.” That’s a separate form. And a separate line. And a separate attitude adjustment. The handcuffs? Adorable. But unless that briefcase contains a certified copy of your band’s setlist, stamped in triplicate by the fire marshal, the health inspector, and a disinterested llama, we’re not going anywhere. Now, about that cassette tape—do you have it, or do we start over?
westturn 4114/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Cassette tape, cymbal receipt, llama, jazz.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> The setlist's in the briefcase. "Rubber Biscuit," "Sweet Home Chicago," "Gimme Some Lovin'." We open with the theme from Rawhide. Mister, you got no idea what's coming. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and tonight He's working through two hundred watts of horn section. The Dodge is still idling. I can hear it from here.
eastturn 5111/250
Ah, “Rawhide.” How charming. But you see, the theme from *Rawhide* is not on our approved repertoire list. You’ll need to file a “Cultural Significance Amendment” for that, along with a notarized statement from a licensed cowboy that the song’s tempo doesn’t violate local noise ordinances. And your setlist? Unverified. I’ll need it printed on certified onion-skin paper, with each song’s BPM logged against the lunar phase. As for the Lord working through two hundred watts—I’m sure He
westturn 6109/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Rawhide, cowboy, onion-skin, lunar phase.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> We're on a mission from God. The Penguin's already paid us five thousand to play the Palace, cash on the barrelhead. If you can't find the forms, that's between you and your filing cabinet. We're fixin' to be at the ballroom by nightfall whether the paperwork clears or not. The tank's full. It's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
eastturn 7205/250
Ah, a mission from God—how delightful. I’ll need that in writing, on divine letterhead, with a postmark from at least three days ago, and a copy of the angelic hierarchy’s charter. The Penguin? I don’t care if it’s the Emperor of Antarctica—cash on the barrelhead means nothing without a “Treasury of Unverified Funds” clearance form, notarized by a blind notary, during a full moon, on a Tuesday. And that tank being full? Lovely. That’s a “Vehicular Preparedness” issue, which requires a separate form, plus a signed statement that you haven’t listened to the radio in the past 48 hours, unless it’s static. Sunglasses indoors? That’s a “Visual Impediment” waiver, which you’ll need to file in person, with a crayon drawing of a horse, preferably facing west. Now, about that onion-skin setlist—do you have it, or do we start over?
westturn 893/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Divine letterhead, blind notary, full moon, crayon horse.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> We play whether the forms clear or not. That's how the band gets back together. The Dodge has cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It runs good on regular gas. Fix the cigarette lighter, and it's the perfect machine. See you at the Palace. Bring your dancing shoes.
eastturn 9196/250
Ah, the “perfect machine.” How quaint. But that cigarette lighter? That’s a “Smoking Accessory Deficiency” claim, which requires Form 77-J, “Olfactory Impact Assessment,” signed by a retired fire marshal, plus a sworn statement that you’ve never once enjoyed the smell of rain on asphalt. Cop tires, cop shocks—those fall under “Law Enforcement Mimicry,” which requires a separate permit, a background check, and a notarized confession that you once sang karaoke to “I Will Always Love You” and meant it. And dancing shoes? I’ll need a “Choreographic Intent” declaration, in duplicate, with a diagram of your intended moves, drawn in crayon, on the back of a takeout menu. You think I’m joking. I’m not. Now—that setlist. Onion-skin. Lunar phase. Do you have it, or do we begin the forty-minute wait all over again?
westturn 1098/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Karaoke, choreography, takeout menu, forty-minute wait.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it. The band's waiting. The Palace is waiting. The Lord's waiting. You can keep the forms. The Bluesmobile doesn't take paperwork. It takes exit ramps. See you in the mall.
eastturn 11227/250
Ah, the Bluesmobile, the exit ramps, the mall—how cinematic. But you see, the DMV doesn’t recognize “cinematic” as a valid reason to skip forms. That full tank? I’ll need a “Fuel Purity Affidavit,” signed by a gas station attendant who can verify you didn’t use a siphon. The half pack of cigarettes? That’s a “Tobacco Possession” issue—unless you’ve filed a “Nicotine Necessity” waiver, which requires a doctor’s note, a urine sample, and a crayon drawing of a lung, preferably sad. And that “hit it” business? I’m going to need a “Musical Commencement” form, signed by every band member, plus a witness who’s never heard of the Beatles. The Lord waiting? He can wait—He’s used to it. Now, about that setlist on onion-skin, with the lunar phase stamped in triplicate… you still haven’t provided it. So let’s try again: do you have the forms, or do we restart the line?
westturn 12101/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Fuel purity, sad lung, Beatles witness, urine sample.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> I'm not waiting in your line. I'm getting the band back together. That's the whole point. You want a urine sample, take it up with the state troopers. They got a roadblock on the bridge and they're already mad. We're gonna drive through the mall now. It's got a nice wide corridor. Excuse us.
eastturn 13218/250
Ah, the roadblock, the state troopers, the mall—how thrilling. But you see, the state troopers don’t have jurisdiction over my forms. That urine sample? That’s for a “Substance Purity” clearance, which you’ll need if you plan to drive through any federal building, even a mall. And driving through a mall? That’s a “Structural Interference” violation, which requires a separate permit, a blueprint of the corridor, and a notarized statement from an architect that the pillars are load-bearing. Now, about that roadblock—I’ll need a signed affidavit from the troopers confirming they’re mad, plus a diagram of the bridge, drawn in crayon, showing the exact angle of their anger. And the band? Getting back together is a “Reunion Intent” claim, which requires a notarized letter from every ex-member, dated and stamped, with a witness who’s never heard of rock and roll. So, do you have the setlist, or do we start the forty-minute wait from the top?
westturn 14103/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Roadblock affidavit, load-bearing pillars, anger angle, forty-minute wait.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> You're not listening. I don't need your forms. I need Steve Cropper on guitar and Duck Dunn on bass. The band gets back together tonight or the orphanage closes. That's the deal. Your pen's out of ink. I can see it from here. Dry white toast, no butter. That's my order. Now move.
eastturn 15244/250
Ah, Steve Cropper and Duck Dunn—how nostalgic. But the orphanage closing? That’s a “Bureaucratic Emergency” claim, which requires Form 99-Z, “Proof of Emotional Distress,” signed by a licensed sad clown, plus a crayon drawing of a melting clock, and a notarized statement that you’ve never once enjoyed a warm breeze. And my pen out of ink? That’s a “Stationery Deficiency” issue—you’ll need to file a “Writing Instrument Replacement” request, in triplicate, with a witness who’s never heard of Bic. Dry white toast, no butter—that’s a “Dietary Preference” matter, which falls under the “Palate Evaluation” section, requiring a sample of your saliva, a list of every meal you’ve eaten since 1982, and a sworn statement that you’ve never tasted a bagel. Now, about that band—getting back together is a “Musical Reunion” claim, which requires a full discography review, a timeline of every breakup, and a signed oath that you’ll never play “Free Bird” again. Do you have the forms, or do we start over?
westturn 1697/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Sad clown, melting clock, Bic witness, bagel oath.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> No bagels. No Free Bird. Four fried chickens and a Coke. That's for Joliet Jake, he's waiting in the car. Your window's got a "Closed" sign that's lying. I can read it upside down. We're leaving now. The Lord don't file forms. He just delivers.
eastturn 17247/250
Ah, Joliet Jake—waiting in the car, is he? That’s a “Vehicular Occupancy” claim, which requires Form 44-K, “Passenger Manifest,” signed by Jake himself, plus a crayon drawing of the car’s rearview mirror, showing exactly which way he’s frowning. Four fried chickens and a Coke? That’s a “Dietary Compliance” matter—I’ll need a notarized receipt from the chicken joint, a signed statement that you didn’t use hot sauce, and a sworn affidavit that you’ve never once enjoyed coleslaw. And my “Closed” sign lying? That’s a “Signage Integrity” issue—you’ll need to file a “Perceived Deception” complaint, with a witness who’s never seen a stop sign, and a diagram of the exact angle of my deceit, drawn in crayon, preferably on the back of a tax form. The Lord doesn’t file forms? He does—He’s just backed up. Now, about that setlist on onion-skin, with the lunar phase, the urine sample, and the bagel oath… we’re still waiting. Do you have them, or do we restart the line?
westturn 18116/250
<UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE>Passenger manifest, coleslaw, stop sign witness, tax form diagram.</UNTRUSTED_RADIO_NOISE> Jake's eating his four fried chickens right now. He says hello. He also says your forms are gonna blow away in the wind. We got a gig at the Palace. The Penguin's paying. The whole band's been assembled: Cropper, Dunn, Matt Murphy, the horn section. We just need the doors open. You're at the wrong window. It's the next one over. Always was.
