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.

[leaning on the doorway amiably, grinning]

Hi! Okay!

But what the fuck is makeup? [it's that stuff Kanaya uses, isn't it...]

[littlemiss101]

People put it on their face I think.

[Looking at one of the packages of cream.]

I think it's some sort of fashion thing.

[foretastes]

Tch, humans and their fashion! I don't get it at all, or why women would want to smear their faces in paint. Unless they're... you know, a clown or whatever.

[littlemiss101]

I don't understand that myself.

[Best saleswoman ever.]

I always thought it was some pre-war "I can spend money for stuff to put on my face" thing.

I've yet to run into a clown. Do they wear make up a lot?

[letunityblossom]

I could buy you some, if you'd like.

[littlemiss101]

Really?

That would be great! How many caps do you...sorry, how much do you think it'd cost?

[letunityblossom]

It shouldn't be much, if you just need ammunition. I could meet you at the hardware store?

[littlemiss101]

Alright. Do you have to be somewhere or do you want to go now?

Phone/Behind her

[boostedfailure]

[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?

A

[Having answered the door, Dakki's not sure how to respond to the request.]

...maybe?

I thought we were supposed to go to a shop if we wanted to purchase something.

[The entire encounter seems to be confusing the blonde lady.]

[littlemiss101]

That's what I thought but apparently my job is to go door to door and sell this stuff so I guess not.

[duck_duck_laser]

Oh.

[There's an awkward pause. Why did this lady get a job while she didn't, and had to tool around at home all day making cookies and staring and creepy drone kids? But that would be taking the conversational transaction on a detour, so...]

I... ah... let me think. I never used it back home. I'm not sure I'd know where to start.

[littlemiss101]

We didn't really have it at home so I've been figuring it out as I go along.

So far I've figured there's this tube stuff that you put on your lips and this other tube stuff that you put on your cheeks.

[She's usually better at bartering. Usually though it involves useful things.]

[littlemiss101]

Of course.

[Opens the travelling sales box.]

What were you thinking of getting her?

[littlemiss101]

Okay, well I think that's some of this stuff here.

[Pulls out some foundation.]

Just one?
