You scuttle. It does nothing to alleviate the growing worry, however!

After all, he could be here any minute!

>>373133
He? Who is he?
Continue to scuttle while explaining.

prepare!

>He? Who is he?

Th-the tax collector! He's going to be here any minute and it's going to be terrible!

He is going to want your monies!

You don't have any monies! You are a crab! Scuttle Scuttle.

then you have nothing to worry about, they can't tax you on nothing.

Hit the road.

>>373136
He'll take your shell! Your home!
Prepare for trouble!

Cite statute 81A7:22543b!

Don't panic. Do you have any other commodity that can be quickly exchanged for cash or, better yet, accepted in lieu of it?

>then you have nothing to worry about, they can't tax you on nothing.

He will do it anyway! He is a tax collector! He wants all the monies, even the monies that aren't there!

>Hit the road.

Yes! You will take your basket and -

>>"You there! Citizen! Stand for inspection in the name of the King!"

Oh no! He's here!

>>373142
Scuttle! Scuttle far! Scuttle fast!

>>373142
See if he does indeed want your monies. If he does, maul him in the gonads and scuttle away with all possible haste.

 

Request that he show you a signed A-38 B.

Then tell him to follow proper protocols properly, and question him about his identity for 40 minutes, before writing LIAR on his face and telling him to go see the head of Management Services. Then Scuttle.

Snap off one of your claws, throw it at him, and scuttle away. It will be difficult for a while, but you'll regenerate it.

He appears over the lump!

>>"You. Stand right there, and don't try to run off."

Oh no, this man is really scary!
>Request that he show you a signed A-38 B.

You cannot request anything, you can't speak! Your throat was damaged last month in an unfortunate boating accident.

>Scuttle!

You quickly scuttle away from this scary man! You can hear shouting behind you!

Be helpful to end this as quickly as possible. Do not do bullshit. You definitely do not want to hear "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!".

How deep is the water? He's in armor, so it would be hard for him to pursue you there.

Scuttle into it.

You scuttle into the water, hiding just offshore. He'll never get you here!

>>"Sir, the damned thing's gone and hid in the water."

A man in red appears!
>> "Scared the locals again, have you Ardent?"
He says to the scary man.

Wait a minute, who's this?

>>"Only asked it to stay where it was."
The scary man responds.

>>"Her, Ardent. Respectful pronouns, please?"

>>Yes sir."

hold claws out of water and clack them questioningly.

>>373172
Foam at them. Foam furiously.

>>373178

Do this.

Does your society have any equivalent to Morse Code? You could communicate through clicks and clacks.

You clack your claws. You don't really know how to say anything like this, but the man in red seems amused.

>>"Aww, look at her! She's adorable. Listen, I've got to collect your rent. Do you understand?"

reach down and grab a shiny rock and hold that up.

>>373191

Look over the beach and under the water for loose change. If you can't find anything, try >>373194.

Your rent can't be all -that- high.

>>373191
Foam at them. Foam like the fist of the north star.

oh no they are going to evict you :(

retreat underwater in search of delicious clams.

>reach down and grab a shiny rock and hold that up.

Ducking down into the water, you look around for anything that might be useful as currency.

You would have foamed, but you have plenty of water in your system at the moment, and it probably wouldn't have helped. Will have to wait until later.

But at least they can't chase you underwater, so you're completely safe for now!

There's a clam. If there's a pearl in it, we're good.

yes, open clam, get prize

And if there is no pearl offer it to him anyway.

Offer him the clam, starfish, and that little fish to your left. The more stuff, the more its worth... right?

leave the clam alone they are good people

open the shit of out that clam.

>>373411
Eat the fish. Eat it. Throw bones at them. Eat it.
