[Raymond looks more harried than usual as he adjusts the camera.] Okay... Look. I don't remember how this happened, or why, but I need help.

[And then he points the camera to...his gun. Carefully perched in a pile of blankets, but it's his gun nonetheless.]

Like I said, I don't remember any of this, but it's— [He quickly glances back to it.] She's mine. Apparently. And I've never been one who's good with kids, but... [He gives it another glance, this one lingering.] I could really use some help here.

I would let her lie, perhaps she is happy to be with her father.

[saidrepent]

[He's still looking anxiously at the gun.] That works for now, but what do I do when she wakes up?

[godofabs]

Perhaps give her sustenance?

[saidrepent]

I don't have any food here for a baby. [A pause.] I mean... I don't think so.

[There's just a really long pause.]

......What?

voice;

[saidrepent]

What? [He sounds almost agitated by that.] I already said, I don't remember how this happened.

[intheblanks]

How you picked up a pistol, or why you started baby talking it?

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears]

Y' might want to get a carrier. Like a shoulder holster. Babies like t' be carried.

[ voice ]

[saidrepent]

Where am I supposed to get one of those? I can't just leave her by herself until then...

[ voice ]

[waitedforyears]

Check if you have one already, that might do the trick.

[entangles]

Let me give you a tip: If you don't know what you're doing, don't touch the gun.

[saidrepent]

[By now he sounds exasperated.] I wouldn't have a gun in here. As soon as this baby showed up, I got rid of it.

[entangles]

What baby?

[mrpaisley]

I thought you were the gun-toting sort,

[saidrepent]

Not as long as this baby's here. [The way he puts emphasis on the word baby makes it sound like he isn't just using it as an overly-attached epithet for his gun.]

[mrpaisley]

What baby?

[He's just going to look at you like you've gone nuts. Him and the mechanical tasmanian devil with him.]

Fix it, clean it, and make sure it's loaded.

[saidrepent]

[Oh, no.] Is that supposed to be some kind of joke?

[ruthless_hunter]

I could ask you the same question.

[What kind of guy puts their gun in a blanket?]

[errandry]

You, uh. You're sure about that, huh.

[saidrepent]

I'm damn sure. [Sorry, he's a little touchy after all the other responses so far.] Why does everybody think this is some kind of joke?

[errandry]

—no reason! I can see the resemblance and all that. She's got your...

[dignity_misery]

[Carla and her bird peer at the video curiously.]

Where was that when you were knocking me out?

[She's not trying to rub that shit in his face, but she does wonder why he just let them walk away if he was packing.]

[saidrepent]

[Have a glare, Carla.]

She only just showed up.

What is it with men and their guns.

[Blonde slept with his, this almost isn't weird.]
