People, it's just a box

In our series "The World According to the Hutt" we had two entries about ownership (here and here). In summary, nothing belongs to anyone and everyone is allowed to use everything. At least, that's what we thought. 

It's been what? Two weeks since all of that happened? This is what happened today.

We wanted a large box for an upcoming event. Like, a really big box. So, we asked Spider Hero where we might get one. "There are several down in the storage room," said Spider Hero. "I'll just get one out for you."

That should have been the end of the story. Next thing we knew, Spider Hero had gone to a local appliance store and picked us up a refrigerator box. "Not that we aren't grateful," we said, "this is perfect and all, but we thought you were getting one out of storage. We didn't mean for you to go to all of that trouble."

"I felt bad," said Spider Hero. "I told you I had a box for you but when I went to get it, Opie said all of the boxes down there were his."

Greedy, Opie. Just greedy

Did you catch that? All of the boxes belong to Opie. And this is okay with the Hutt. Spoof couldn't keep any personal property at Tartarus and isn't allowed to be protective of supplies purchased for a particular program but Opie can claim all of the cardboard for no particular reason.
