LT&T Office
- If you haven't accepted a quest:
- An old-timey looking man with a vest and pince-nez glasses looks up as you approach. "Got three telegrams waiting for you, <Sir/Madam>!"
- NOTE: Reading one of these telegrams will begin a quest to help the person who sent the telegram.
- If you're currently on a quest:
- You're already in the middle of investigating a telegram, and anyway the clerk's window is shuttered. Looks like telegraph operator's hours are even shorter than banker's hours!
- If you've already accepted a telegram today:
- The clerk's window is still shuttered. You dig through the filing cabinet and read the fine print on the clerk's contract -- apparently LT&T only pays him enough to deliver one telegram a day!
- You'll have to pay his overtime if you want another telegram today.
- On first visit in an ascension:
- The clerk says "Ah, <Madam/Sir>, you left your boots here." He gestures to a pair of boots next to the door. Apparently you had some cowboy boots that you forgot about!
- You find some loose change in one of the boots.

Notes
- The LT&T Office offers a choice of three quests sending you to investigate the Wild West. One quest of each difficulty level is offered.
- The first quest per day is free, but you must provide overtime pay to accept additional quests in a day. Once you pay overtime, the clerk will again offer a selection of three quests.
- The first overtime fee is 1,000 meat, and each subsequent fee increases by a factor of 10. This resets at rollover or ascension. Since meat on hand is capped at 4,294,967,295 due to Black Sunday, this effectively caps extra quests at seven per day (the 8th would cost 10 billion).
- The offered quests are re-rolled on ascension or when you complete or abandon a quest, which causes a new quest of the same difficulty level to replace it. As of an update on February 7, 2016, you will not be given the same quest twice in a row.
- You can get a telegram while drunk without a problem, but it cannot be used while drunk or you will just end up spending an adventure in a drunken stupor.
