- SC: You won't dismiss me like the rest, will you?
- SC: I do have the right one of you, correct? You're the farm girl?
- SC: I mean, normally I wouldn't bother you, of all people, but honestly out of all of your friends you are, quite frankly, the one who wis the most likely to listen to reason.
- SC: Or at least the only one who would actually be kind enough to help somepo-...some...stranger...out.
- SC: Also because I seem to recall that you were the one to agree with this anyway.
- -- dauntlessEngineer [DE] rushes back to the computer all lickety-split like --
- DE: My most humble apologies Mr. Combined! Pop's needed me for something.
- DE: Wait, who the dickens are you, anyways?
- SC: That will matter later.
- SC: For now, I am asking for your aid.
- DE: Uh, how much later? And why is your text so doggone hard to read?
- SC: Soon.
- DE: All righty then...
- SC: And...I don't know, I don't usually find it that hard to read...
- DE: So, what's this y'all need my help with? I don't even know who you are!
- SC: Not right now, but eventually.
- SC: And it isn't all that demanding either, honestly it's probably something any-...one would do anyway.
- SC: Still, it is very important.
- DE: I'm not too keen on offering propositions from complete strangers, in person or otherwise.
- DE: keep talking and maybe I
- DE: I'll be interested. Doggone it!
- DE: Now you got my penmanship all discombobulated!
- SC: In return, I will answer two of your questions as honestly as I can.
- SC: One now, and one after you've completed the task.
- DE: Really, huh.
- DE: Gimmie a sec to contemplate this.
- DE: This thing you want me to do...Is it for yourself, or one of your compadres?
- DE: Hombres, amigos, chums, etc.
- SC: Myself, mostly.
- SC: I suppose for others as well, in the grand scheme of things...
- DE: I see, I see. I think.
- DE: You're mighty shifty about this.
- DE: I'd ask you where y'all are located, but my one bullet's been up and expended.
- DE: I'd at least like to know where we can meet up when I complete this here task of yours.
- SC: these would all be questions you can ask after you agree to my request.
- DE: ((one sec))
- DE: Well, shoot. Looks like you roped me in, stranger. Whaddya need?
- SC: Good.
- SC: Listen carefully now. This is very important.
- SC: Now, soon. Very soon. You will receive several packages in the mail.
- SC: The first is one you have been waiting for. Proceed as you normally would here.
- SC: The second is from me. it is a very mundane item, but very powerful in the right hands.
- SC: Take this and leave it in an open place around your room, liberally seperated from any other objects.
- SC: Now, this is very important.
- DE: I'm listenin'.
- SC: There may or may not be a third package there, depending on how well my other plans go.
- SC: This one will likely be from a friend of yours, though she...or he...will not recall sending it.
- -- dauntlessEngineer [DE] blinks --
- SC: Take the contents of this package and captchalogue it. And do not un-captchalogue it until I tell you that you can safely do so.
- SC: And that is it.
- DE: Lemme get this straight...
- DE: Package A is something I'm expectin'. Package B may as well be a comb or something I can leave on my nightstand, and I may or may not be getting package C from someone who may not even remember sending it.
- DE: Stranger, this sounds like a hill of beans to me!
- DE: How do I know y'all not pullin' my leg?
- SC: If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.
- SC: When it does, I simply ask that you follow my instructions.
- DE: Okay, stranger. I'll follow your bread crumb trail for now.
- DE: But I expect answers when I start askin' questions!
- SC: Excellnent.
- DE: Next time, I'll have plenty of bullets.
- DE: I hope not to use 'em.
- SC: So you can ask me a question now, I will try to answer it to the bes of my ability.
- DE: All righty then...Where are you?
- SC: Are you sure that is what you wish to ask?
- SC: I mean I can tell you, but I can assure you it will not help you at all.
- SC: But if you insist, I suppose I could describe where I am.
- DE: Stranger, I find it very unlikely that you are not located anywhere outside the boundaries of this planet. Take your best shot.
- SC: Ok thne, I won't go into to too may specifics, as it won't make much of a difference anyway...
- SC: Right now...I'm actually in a few places.
- DE: I beg your pardon?
- SC: Physically, myself, as I am right now, I am in a temple.
- DE: A temple? Like in one of those adventure-style movies?
- DE: I like those!
- SC: I'm other places too, but there's one that I believe will interest you the most.
- SC: Right now.
- DE: Especially the ones in Uncharted--But that's not quite a movie now is it...
- SC: I am in a room.
- SC: In a house.
- SC: On a farm.
- -- dauntlessEngineer [DE] blinks --
- DE: Stranger...You best be hidin' good because I'm gonna come for ya!
- DE: This has gone from straight up creepy to straight up stalkin'!
- -- dauntlessEngineer [DE] loads her guns and goes to search the house --
- DE: ((Cue GM fiat))
- SC: Oh, don't worry. I won't be jumping out at you.
- SC: But all in all, I believe that is enough information for a fair trade, don't you?
- DE: ==>
- -- dauntlessEngineer [DE] returns after an exhaustive search --
- DE: Listen here, you.
- DE: I don't know who you are or why y'all are hidin' in my house.
- DE: But the moment I find ya, I'm gonna tie you up like a wild hog and beat the answers outta ya like a pinata!
- DE: Comprende?
- SC: I don't think I'd enjoy that.
- SC: Which I suppose is to say you.
- SC: But ath is a matter for another time.
- DE: Of course you wouldn't. Because you do not mess with the Callahans, you son of a--
- DE: ...Sorry. Pop's would soap my mouth if I so much as uttered one syllable of profanity.
- DE: I'll be lookin' for you, stranger.
- SC: I'll be seeing you too, Ms. Callahan.
- SC: I do hope you'll withold your end of the bargain.
- SC: Until then.
