450 Suffer and La'Ban

Everyone in Saint Plotniko has a dentist in the 450 Suffer Building. 450 Suffer is a grand looking, baroque edifice built in the old style, with gleaming banks of elevators and a job for Elevator Ed, who wears a uniform with a cap and stands in front of the six elevators to direct each person into the next car. This probably made more sense before automatic elevators, and red elevator buttons that flash red, with a loud DING when the elevator door opens, but at least Elevator Ed still has a job.

Of course, after you take the fancy elevator into your dentist's fancy waiting room with all the leather bound books on wine that no one has ever read, you still end up looking at this.

And this.

The only thing The Great Plotnik likes about riding the Plotkicycle down to 450 Suffer is that his friend La'Ban works down the street, at the Sir Francis Drake. La'Ban seems to be getting bigger -- he is roughly two Plotniks now. But the man can play some ball. In the old days, he was unstoppable. Now...he may still be.
