While I’m sure we’re all very grateful to have been saved from the obliteration of our respective planets, the fact remains that we exist in a state of continued uncertainty. Life always presents us with uncertainties and we can never 100% predict what may happen in the future, that much is true, but considering our current situation it seems safe

Well you sound certainly legitimate.

[knifedances]

You have concerns?

[whosyour_rikku]

Well, it's spammy enough when someone starts peeling for money face-to-face, but here I've got this faceless message asking for investments to reduce "uncertainties"... don't take this the wrong way or anything but you're tilting to the skeevish side o' things.

[knifedances]

That's a fair point, but alas, I'm acting under orders and due precautions needed to be taken. It may make me sound suspicious, but the sentiment behind this request remains unchanged.

[There's a long lag before she finally responds. Clearly he has no visuals to go by, but she is considering you with more credibility.]

[whosyour_rikku]

What sort of protection are you offering, then?

[knifedances]

You can think of it as a peace-keeping measure; working to prevent violence before it happens, dispersing potential conflicts, providing aid for when violence does occur, that kind of thing.

[He is possibly the worst person to be advocating such a service, but hey, it's part of the job description]

[whosyour_rikku]

A stun gun could do all o' that, y'know.

[knifedances]

That depends on the scale of the problem, don't you think?

[whosyour_rikku]

You're right... two stun guns should do yah.

[knifedances]

Sadly, I highly doubt that stun guns are the answer to all problems that may arise. Do you own such a weapon, may I ask?

[whosyour_rikku]

You think I'm gonna be giving all my secrets away? Just like that? Oh, Courier Newb. [GUESS WHO'S PACKIN' THE FUNNY STICK?!]

[He thinks it's possible she's employed by Preventer, but rather than say anything about it he decides to look into it later. He'd quite like to give her a teasing response in return, but he's supposed to be anonymous right now, so he manages not to]

It would most likely be inadvisable on an open channel such as this, but there's no harm in asking just the same.

[whosyour_rikku]

Maybe if you were Helvetica I'd be willing to risk it.

[knifedances]

[Again, he refrains from giving her a smart-ass answer, as much as it pains him to do so]

What a strange sentiment.

[whosyour_rikku]

Well, I'm a strange girl. I don't consider it a negative.
