need a gun.
particularly one that doesn't shoot rainbows or a sign with the word "bang!" on it. [Yes, she is being dead serious about this.]

rifles are preferred, but any firearm will do.

services offered in exchange.

protection if necessary.

will also kill extra if you're in want of ammo.

[How does that sound, Hadriel? SPECIAL PRICE, EXTRA NICE. JUST FOR YOU.]

That's okay. Am looking for one to own.

[Chris probably could use it more than she can, anyway. Even when the most current threat right now is keeling over from diabetic shock, she'd rather not deprive someone a mean of looking after themselves.]

Can't hurt to scavenge some of the former residencies of people who aren't here anymore. Don't think all of their possessions poof with them when they disappear. [Rey, that's called looting.]

[voice]

[thechoiceisyours]

Got it. I mean, if no one has a spare or anything, you might be able to ask Rage about it, though uh... I'd be kind of worried about what she'd want in return.

[Hence the reason he hasn't asked her about getting another weapon--even a flare gun--for Emily. But actually, Rey's idea is a lot better, and it's not stealing if no one is around to own them right?]

Actually, that's a really good idea. Might be kind of a lot of work for a low chance of finding something, but still worth a look.

[voice]

[circumitus]

Would rather avoid doing any more favors for Rage beyond keeping a body count.

[Killing is, at least, something Rey can easily do without asking for anything in return.]

May as well. Not like we're pressed for time, considering we've got a lot of that here.

[voice]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah. Can't blame you there.

[He really only cares to trade with Hope and Delight, aside from the bullets deal with Rage.]

That's true. If there isn't like, something terrifying and life-threatening going on then there's nothing happening at all.

[voice]

[circumitus]

[At the very least, Rey would be doing the favors for herself this time. Nick wasn't too happy to find her running an errand for Hope for parts to patch him up. Ugh, stubborn robots.

[On her end, there is the sound of movement, and then running "water".]

...And sometimes there is just chocolate milk pouring out of the faucet in your bathroom.

[voice]

[thechoiceisyours]

Well, yeah. Though that pretty much falls under a vaguely annoying version of nothing.

[It's gotten old pretty fast.]

Not that I'm complaining about this event compared to uh, others, though.

[voice]

[circumitus]

Fair.

[She'll give you that, Chris.]

Sure beats digging people up from the ground, or everyone trying to kill each other.

[voice]

[thechoiceisyours]

Aw, but those were my favorite events. And the wendigo one too; I mean, it was all personalized and everything.

[This is so sarcastic he actually bothers to put it into his tone rather than being deadpan about it.]

[voice]

[circumitus]

Oh, yes. Am sure you were just thrilled about that.

[It's harder to tell Rey's being a smartass herself through that monotone, but perhaps the words speak for themselves.]

[voice]

[thechoiceisyours]

Totally. It's super depressing that it's over and whatever.

[He can definitely read that sarcasm no matter how flat her tone is.]

[voice]

[circumitus]

Chin up. No doubt one of those assholes will whip up something equally -- if not more -- traumatizing and memorable that you won't even miss it.

[voice]

[thechoiceisyours]

Yeah, probably, but like... I hope they don't go through the effort just for me, or anything. I mean, it's totally okay if they decide not to; I would understand.

[Maybe if they joke about it it won't happen. Right?]

[voice]

[circumitus]

Of course. Wouldn't want to make anyone feel left out or anything. That would just be rude.

[Har dee har.]
