Entry 50 [Video | Action] - Desert City

[classywigger]

A'right, this ain't a big deal. I was in Iraq, for fuck's sake.

[He loads and cocks one of the many guns he's got on his person.]

If any y'all try to slow me down or rob me, you gonna get a cap in yo ass.

[dudeimbatman]

Watch the caps. We don't need a lot of zombies running around to make this worse but it looks like you're good to go.

[prosopopoeia]

[...Okay, she was not strictly planning on stealing his guns, but it is very true that she has been taking stock of them from a distance for a few moments now. She pretends otherwise, however, looking away with a sniff when noticed,]

Oh yes, we 'ave a regular Rambo in our midst.

[classywigger]

Don't be stupid. Zombies don't run 'round deserts.

action;

[classywigger]

I'll just choose to take that as a compliment.

action;

[prosopopoeia]

You may choose to take it 'owever you like, zhat does not make eet so.

[ She frowns slightly, eyes drifting over all those guns again... ]

Where did you acquire weapons of zhis caliber?

[Because at the moment she has a pistol and a rapier and she would much prefer a grenade launcher.]

[dudeimbatman]

They do if they're city!Dead people that some one shot.

[wayfarers]

Woah, we got a tough guy here.

Alright, so how many asses have you actually popped caps in?

[classywigger]

A'right, a'right, point taken.

action;

[classywigger]

Some came from home, others here and there. Just don't expect me to name names.

[classywigger]

A whole fuckin' lot.

action;

[prosopopoeia]

[She gives him a look.]

I would not expect eet for nothing.

[dudeimbatman]

Thanks. If you need anything, let me know.

action;

[classywigger]

Weren't cheap either. One cost me nearly an indigo coin.

[wayfarers]

So, you ain't a poser, then? Because I fucking hate posers.

action;

[prosopopoeia]

[Marie is a quick and thorough study, and she has studied the city. She takes that information in easily.]

I see. How much to borrow one from you, until zhis situation is less tenuous to my life?

[She puts her pistol back into its holster at her leg.]

I 'appen to have some experience with worms and zhat pistol will be out of bullets and choked with sand before I can kill any of them.

[That was very subtle, Marie...]

[classywigger]

Fuck no I ain't a poser.

Re: action;

[classywigger]

Whaddaya got?

action;

[prosopopoeia]

[She hates this place and its physical currency. Nanites were so much more convenient. She tosses him the purse with all the coin she's managed since she arrived. Most are green and blue but plentiful. She also takes a red hypodermic needle from her jacket.]

Zhis is the only med-hypo to make eet here with me. [The annelids had swarmed her before she could use it, and then it had been too fucking late.] Eet could save your life.

[She clearly values it more than the coins, because she doesn't just hand it over.]

action;

[classywigger]

[He glances over the coins. Not much. As for the needle, well, it's gotta be worth something at least.]

A'right, you got a deal.

So, what'll ya' have? Pistol, semi-automatic?

action;

[prosopopoeia]

A semi-automatic shotgun would be preferable.

action;

[classywigger]

Here. [He unholsters a semi-automatic shotgun and hands it to her.]

Try not to shoot me in the face or balls.

action;

[prosopopoeia]

You will be fine.

[She hefts the weapon with ease and comfort.]
