1 Iki Piki: I don't understand. This is the right date and time. Our past selves should be in this cell now. This guy met us in that bar an hour ago.
2 Serron: Excuse me, where were you an hour ago?
3 Shady Black Market Weapons Dealer: Here, waiting for your delivery. You called from the spaceport and said you were on your way. I was about to head out to a bar for a drink.
4 Iki Piki: You called ahead??
4 Serron: I didn't want to waste our time and have him not be here!

Is there anything worse than waiting for a trade professional or a delivery or something to arrive... and it takes all day?

Well, yeah, I mean besides all those other things that actually are worse? You know, like losing your job, or catching a fatal disease, or having your house burn down. So besides those, is there anything worse?

I thought not.

No reason...
