011 [Video]

[Chris is at the bar today, looking like he's more interested in having a nap than making a broadcast. But he has a large coffee, at least, and manages a smile for the camera at the video starts.]

Hey. It's uh, been a little weird around here lately, huh?

[What with people arriving in two waves at completely the wrong time and all. But at least there's been some good snacks, even if Chris carefully avoided Delight's energy shots.]

Um, this has nothing to do with any of that, but I was uh... Hoping someone would be willing to like, talk about making a deal to trade for some bullets or something. I kind of ran through what I had during the whole zombie incident.

[Or well, most of them; he'd used the last one later on during the Confusion event, but those are unnecessary details.]

So uh... Yeah. That's about it.

[Have an awkward, dorky wave before he disconnects.]

I would have thought everyone knew about Rage's deal.

[Because killing monsters, what's the problem here?]

[video]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Well, see, about that--]

Yeah, um, I know, I've done it a few times. The problem is I need bullets to get more bullets.

[So he normally is very careful about saving them, but with everything that happened he has no luck. And no one should ever let Chris use a weapon besides a gun during a monster-hunting expedition, let's be real.]

[video]

[infinite1up]

[Sato looks faintly puzzled, despite the usual smile plastered in place]

There's plenty of weapons in the armory, if nothing else.

[Honestly, he's at the point of assuming everyone here has some kind of crazy power or other they can use.]

[iustitiae]

You can't just pray to whichever god gets the most out of your bullet ownership?

video;

[thechoiceisyours]

That'd be pretty sweet, but no.

[He'd love to be able to get away with that, or even just being able to deal with a different god than Rage. But alas.]

You can uh, trade a dead monster to Rage for a clip, but it'd kind of tough for me to kill any monsters without already having bullets, so...

[So trading with others here it is.]

video;

[iustitiae]

Gotcha. That would definitely make it something of a catch-22. And I'm guessing the stores are more likely to have teddy bears than bullets.

[wendigoner]

[ Hi, friend. ]

I thought you could trade, um... stuff to the gods? For... other stuff?

[ words ]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Hey, Hannah. He offers a bit warmer of a smile, since he's still pretty glad she's even talking to him.]

Yeah, you can, but uh... Rage handles all the weaponry stuff, and she's already got a deal in place for bullets that I um, sort of can't manage at the moment since I'm totally out. Since you have to trade her a dead monster.

[Or person, probably, but that's even more out.]

She might um, offer an alternative deal or something if I asked, but I don't think it'd be something I'd be... You know. Willing to do.

[She is Rage, after all.]

video;

[wendigoner]

Oh. [ ... ] Glad you're not trying to do that. Sounds pretty risky.

[ Please, Chris, don't let wanting bullets override your common sense. ]

Do you have any idea what it might be? The alternative deal?

or you could just learn magic ot something less likely to end up getting you killed

text

[thechoiceisyours]

Do you really think magic and me would mix? Especially magic that would be useful if we were attacked by monsters or something?

[He's pretty sure technology nerds aren't usually a good mix with magic.]

[unfollowing]

it's better than making another deal like the one with lilith

you could learn, like, trap glyphs. easy

[Do those even exist. Who cares. She's making a point.]

[dedikated]

( honestly, it's been a while since she tried trading for bullets, for all sorts of reasons, but- )

Could manage it, if you want.

[thechoiceisyours]

Do you still need someone to work the laundry machines for you?

[It was so long ago they had the conversation, and though he really doubts that'd be a worthwhile deal to her anymore it's still too good of a callback to pass up.]

[video]

[oversear]

A healer such as yourself hunts monsters? That is surprising, Chris.

[video]

[thechoiceisyours]

Well, um, my healing power wore off, so...

[So he's not really a healer anymore, which sucks. He didn't use the power much, but when he did need it he was really glad he had it.]

And I guess I don't really... Hunt monsters, either. At least not more than I have to.

[video]

[oversear]

That is unfortunate.

[ A pause. ]

Then the bullets are for?

[ Surely not fellow cave dwelling humans. He doesn't seem the type to murder in cold blood. ]

[gymnast]

[ Zombie incident. This place just gets better and better... (Stiles would probably love it, honestly.) ]

Isn't there somewhere you can buy them from? [ Allison's done some exploring but she hasn't looked everywhere yet. ]

video.

[thechoiceisyours]

[Sadly enough the zombies thing was pretty tame, all things considered.]

I wish. They're not stocked anywhere, including the armoury, but you can make trades with Rage for them. The only problem is to trade her for bullets you have to give her a dead monster, and I can't kill any monsters without bullets.

[It's lame.]

[burn_all_the_babies]

[ The young girl on the other end of the video feed smiles widely, a little too close to her phone camera if we're being honest. ]

Sooo~ Yoo want some bullets or stuffs huh hot shot? I got plenny of stuffs I could swap. But what's in it for me?

[ She's currently lugging a dead Skulltula over her shoulder, it's a little heavy and she's struggling (should have got Rin to dispose of it once it died instead of keeping it. She currently has no idea that Fear is willing to trade monsters for bullets otherwise she'd have tried to make a deal herself! ]

[thechoiceisyours]

[Huh, someone he hasn't met yet, though he did see her broadcast the month before. And damn, she actually asked the hard question.]

I uh, guess it depends on what sort of thing you want. I mean, everyone here's pretty... Different.

[Also he's kind of uncertainly watching her haul that Skulltula around.]

[edibles]

What exactly do you have to trade? It's not like we have anything.

[thechoiceisyours]

[Beth, stop with the logic. He's well aware he doesn't have a lot to trade, but--]

I'm working on that. Depends on who I end up dealing with.

[skelebro]

Didn't know you could shoot a gun.

[Carefully non-judgmental there, though with Sans it might be kinda real hard to tell.]

video

[thechoiceisyours]

Surprise.

[It's flat and dry, though there's a bit of a grin when he says it. He knows he really doesn't seem the type, because he honestly isn't.]
