Quest Five: Guns and Makeup

[littlemiss101]

[Well the milk wasn't much fun, but when she goes to the mail Mae finds something that makes running around like a lunatic seem worth it.]

Hey, would anyone be interested in helping me get some ammo? I can't buy it myself because sexism overrules cap-.. money apparently. But I need rounds for a .44 magnum and I'd be willing to buy them off people.

Phone/Behind her

[Tap tap tap]

"Um.. Mae.. You want me to check after work and see if they have that type of bullet?"

[littlemiss101]

[Putting the phone away.]

You think they wouldn't? I didn't think it was that rare.

[boostedfailure]

"I don't really know a thing about guns, I never really used them, that's what the suit was for. That and energy weapons look cooler. But just write down what kind you need and I can check."

[littlemiss101]

You don't have to if you don't want to. I figured since you didn't like guns you probably wouldn't want to go into a store with them.

Wait, energy weapons, laser or plasma based?

[boostedfailure]

"Force... Gravity generators. I have a plasma force field though... Normally."

[littlemiss101]

Never seen force ones. The Enclave use a lot of laser and plasma based weapons though.

[boostedfailure]

"My gauntlets used to be plasma... But Ted upgraded them to something a little less lethal a few years back."

[littlemiss101]

That's good.

[She's not a fan of plasma weapons.]

I prefer bullets.

[boostedfailure]

"It was more to do with the kinetics in flight thing. Energy weapons have a lot less recoil."

[littlemiss101]

Really?

[Trying to think back to when she'd shot a plasma or laser gun.]

Never noticed, though I doubt you'd have the same type from the wasteland. Yeah, I can see that being a good thing.

Do people fly a lot in your world?

[boostedfailure]

"Only the super heroes do."

[Dumb grin]

[littlemiss101]

Are there a lot of those in your world?

[boostedfailure]

"Not really, they tend to get recruited into big galactic things that didn't get good endorsement deals... That's kind of why I went back in time to when it was all just starting. I made a lot of bad moves in the business when I think about it."

[littlemiss101]

Oh yeah?

[boostedfailure]

"Trust me, if there was a stupid move out there, I've made it."

[littlemiss101]

That bad huh?
