[OOM: There's a new deputy sheriff in town.]

Hey, it's that girl from 'Post-Apocalyptia'. No, the other girl. It's been a while, hasn't it? Not from her perspective, though. But anyway, in she comes muttering to herself. "...shouldn't have made fun of his mother? He shouldn't have sliced off half that girl's - oh, hey

"Sativa! Hey!"

The voice hailing her from across the field is distinctly lower than last time she heard it, though still not adult yet. This makes sense, as the sprite producing it is distinctly larger. Even his personal transport has been upgraded.

[findthegeck]

This is probably a good time for Bessie to devote both halves of her attention to grazing. Yep, nothing to see here.

Sativa waves back at Enzo, waiting for him to get closer before asking, "What is that?"

[a1enzo]

He swerves the board to a sideways stop, like a skier, and hovers there.

"Surfbaud! Mouse just upgraded it for me, I was getting too big for the old version. How've you been?"

[findthegeck]

"Surf?" Hey, it's like two concepts completely alien to her for the price of one!

"I see, you're shooting up like a weed, aren't you?" She observes.

"Okay, I guess. Still traveling."

[a1enzo]

In reply to her first question, he resumes motion, gliding around her in a broad circle. "Surfing. Riding the energy waves. In User... well, in some User worlds, they do it on the ocean."

He nods, half-smirking, half-grimacing. "You could say that."

[findthegeck]

"On the big salt-water?" She asks. "Weird."

She scratches Bessie behind an ear on the closest head. "So otherwise, how have you been? Everything okay in that computer world?"

[a1enzo]

"Yeah. Random, but okay."

[findthegeck]

"Fair enough. Oh, yeah..." She remembers to show him the badge. "I'm officially authorised to dispense justice - within the town of Redding." She thought it worth mention.

[a1enzo]

"Sweet! How'd that happen?"

[findthegeck]

"Just happened to be looking for work when the regular sheriff was needing help, is all - he was still recovering from a Gecko trying to make a meal of his leg."

[a1enzo]

"Yow."

[findthegeck]

Enzo may recall spotting that particular kind of wildlife during his brief time in the Wasteland to know they don't go for the vegetarian option.

"He won't be much of a dancer, but he says he wasn't much of one before, either. It'll heal soon enough, but in the mean time he needs someone to cover for him. It pays well enough."

[a1enzo]

"Any trouble so far?"

[findthegeck]

"Nothing that couldn't be solved by knocking heads together and tossing them behind bars before the room's stopped spinning for them. Or at least threatening to."

It helps to have someone on hand who make good on that threat.

[a1enzo]

Enzo nods happily. If it works and no one's permanently damaged, it's a job well done.

[findthegeck]

Almost no one, but that's another story - and not one she particularly wants to get into with him right now.

"It's just one of those towns. Not much to do besides work, drink, gamble, watch Molerats fight each other... and with no one getting much work done there's going to be to much of one of the other things happening."
