Going postal Chapter Five: Lost in the post: Moist basically gets kidnapped by a bunch of retired postmen running a secret society in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Full setup:
robes, booming voices, rituals\u2026 and what feels like a mix between initiation and workplace accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Walk\u201d turns out to be:
trip over junk, injure yourself slightly, and pretend it\u2019s honorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groat keeps whispering:
\u201cit\u2019s fine, sir\u201d
which clearly means it is absolutely not fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a while Moist realizes:
this isn\u2019t a test\u2026
this is a hobby that got out of hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So he does the only reasonable thing:
he starts bluffing back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suddenly he\u2019s not the one being tested anymore \u2013
he\u2019s the one in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the dogs show up.
Look deadly.
Turn out to be\u2026 pretty obedient if you sound confident enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Classic Moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion:
If you sound like you know what you\u2019re doing,
people will assume you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if you just tripped over a beer bottle in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secret society + total incompetence + Moist bluffing = promotion.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Going postal Chapter Five: Lost in the post: Moist basically gets kidnapped by a bunch of retired postmen running a secret society in the dark.
