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.]

[skelebro]

nah, i'm just being facetious.
which is impressive, considering i don't even technically have a face.

[circumitus]

[hmmm]

yes.
can't imagine how you manage to pull it off.

[skelebro]

oh, i don't pull anything off.
i don't have skin, remember?

[circumitus]

oh there are ways.

[skelebro]

kindly don't get under my skin.

[circumitus]

no worries. don't have a bone to pick with you for that to be an issue.

[sans what have you done]

[skelebro]

[Only amazing things, clearly.]

thanks, pal.

[circumitus]

anytime, friend.
wouldn't want to see you skullking, after all.

[skelebro]

[There's hope for her yet!]

i wouldn't worry about it.
i'm made of sternum stuff.

[circumitus]

[God help us all, she's learning.]

but do you have the stomach for such conflict?

[skelebro]

well you've heard the one about the skeleton trying to cross the road, haven't you?
we don't have any guts.

[circumitus]

haven't heard about that one, no.
tho tibia honest, that isn't all surprising.

[skelebro]

maybe not.
but that just means i can tell you the classics and they'll be even funnier if you've never heard 'em before.
you're very humerus, for a human.

[circumitus]

well not actually being a human probably helps.

[skelebro]

[...huh. That's interesting.]

could've fooled me.
you mind me asking what, then?

[circumitus]

that was the whole point. being able to blend in was more advantageous for some things.
was synthetically created in a facility. mostly organic, but some mechanical.

[skelebro]

huh.
wouldn't've guessed.

would it be in poor taste to make a joke about bolting outta here?

[circumitus]

not really. wasn't made to be powered by electricity anyway, so the joke falls a little flat.

[skelebro]

yeah, but it was impossible to resistor

[circumitus]

will let that one slide, free of charge.

[godfuckingdammit]

[skelebro]

you're really very good at this.
should think about a double act with me sometime.

[circumitus]

as flattering as that is, will have to politely decline. don't do stagelight so well.
would probably just forget all the lines up there anyway. bad cache memory and all.

[skelebro]

aw, no need to string me along.
