[On his work break, outside the pharmacy. Netherlands simply watches, eyebrow raised, wordless.

. . . why were there so many psychos here.]

Sure you're goin' the right way?

[inthenertz]

Yep, you want to volunteer to the cause?

[Happy little creep.]

[vertulpen]

. . .

[Ugh he doesn't know whether to respond or not because hello, weirdo, and things usually end bad here when he talks to the strange ones.]

. . . cause?

[inthenertz]

Yeah, I need to trade things to the post office. You want to join me?

[vertulpen]

[Oh. He'd heard about this. Still, following the murdering psychopath wasn't really high on his list.]

I though that you had to trade your own. . . parts.

[No, this isn't gruesome at all.]

[inthenertz]

That's a sucky deal. I'm going to try and be convince him otherwise then.

I could use a live body... I mean buddy... to come along just in case it's needed.

[vertulpen]

. . .

Hold on a few minutes; I'll go with you.

[He's going to walk into the hardware store for a minute; he buys the first weapon-like item he sees - a hammer - and then walks back out. Self-defense.]

Had to pick this up for the garden boxes while I'm in town.

[He had to see this. If centuries had taught him anything, it was the importance of information.]

[inthenertz]

[BM has learned there are a lot of moral and righteous people in town.

When that man comes back out, Black Mage is standing there with a large rock ready to throw it.]

[vertulpen]

[If you throw that rock, he can't be held responsible for what he does next.]

[inthenertz]

Oh... hi. Didn't see you walking there.

You're shoe lace is untied.

[vertulpen]

[So that's how it's gonna be.]

It's a lot to ask, but could you help? Awfully hard with the arm and all.

[Yes, his arm is broken. He's learned a few things too.]

[inthenertz]

[Why can't people be stupid and fall for his obvious tricks!?]

Yeah, okay. New plan.

You go back inside and I go back to my wheelbarrow and we pretend like we didn't see each other, okay?

[vertulpen]

But I'm so curious.

[Meddle meddle.]

Sadly he never makes it that far

[inthenertz]

I don't know which I'm more worried about.

You putting me down for being "evil", or you back stabbing me because you take my idea.

pfft

[vertulpen]

Who said anything about stabbing?

[It really is just for self-defense; he's a decent guy deep down.]

Yeah, some people have a problem with this situation, I have no idea why o.o;

[inthenertz]

I never said I was going to stab you when you walked over to the wheelbarrow.

[Stare.]
