[The locale isn't a familiar one, but Benny isn't the type to let that get to him. Hang out long enough and things'll change. Sometimes, that's just the way the dice roll, baby. He leans back against the wall. It's a surprisingly solid thing for such a feature-less place. Somehow he can't move away from this feeling of being between things. Feels

[ And, well, Finn is pretty sure this isn't the men's bathroom at Wal-Mart, but maybe if he just walks a little further in he'll find it. So he's walking with that stride of I'm-totally-not-scared-of-anything that kids get in unfamiliar surroundings, when he sees the glow from the cigarette. His gaze follows to the man smoking it, and--sure, there's that instant recollection of "don't talk to strangers", but hey. That didn't necessary apply when you didn't know exactly where the hell you were. ]

...I don't think you're supposed to smoke in here. [ As good an ice-breaker as anything. ]

[Benny has to honestly just stop and stare at this kid for a moment. It doesn't help the impression that he's only just now noticing that this kid is dressed like some kind of maniac or something. Something real suspicious is going on, and Benny's on the wrong side of the jig. Not his favorite place to be. Play it cool, Benny. Play it cool]

Best fucking club there is.
Hudson your name or something? Didn't ask your name. Asked where you were from.

[hasbiggenes]

[ He's kind of used to getting stared at like that, Benny. He says derpy shit all the time. But the slightly-nervous part, that's new to him. :o ]

Can I be in it if I go to Vegas?

And...I'm from Lima, I already said.

[ringadingbaby]

We aren't really hiring, kid. And I ain't never heard of "Lima." So are you NCR or not?

[hasbiggenes]

Oh. Wait, you've never heard of Lima? That's where we are right now. ...I think. [ Looks around a little at that. ]

No. What is Enseearr? That's not my name.

[ringadingbaby]

Hey, this isn't a hard question. What kind of fucking nosebleed are you, anyway? Is your daddy a farmer or a soldier?

[hasbiggenes]

[ Okay, guy-in-loud-suit, you just went one step too far. Actually, two steps too far: one, calling Finn a name. Two, TALKING ABOUT HIS DAD. Tiny rage issues are go. Also you taught him that cussing is cool and okay to do. ]

Dude, my dad's fucking dead.

[ringadingbaby]

[Dudes are still cowboys in Benny's dictionary, so as far as he can tell, some little punk is calling him out as a tribal. Fuck that. This kid is either stupid or crazy. He's really leaning towards door number 2 now.]

"Dude?" You got some real guts there. And shit, you think I got my old grandma kicking around in the back? Everyone's family is fucking dead.
You really got no fucking idea what I'm talking about, do you?

[hasbiggenes]

[ OHGOD Finn's Stranger Danger alarm is starting to go off. And this guy is really morbid, what the eff. ]

...You're not making any sense.

[ringadingbaby]

There ain't a lot making sense right now, is there? Look around, kid. This really look right to you? Give you anything in this world if you can find a door.

[hasbiggenes]

[ And he does in fact look around...yeah, okay, so this doesn't look like any bathroom he's ever been in, but what else could it be? But then... ]

...This isn't the Wal-Mart bathroom?

[ringadingbaby]

Hells a Wal-Mart? Doesn't matter. This ain't the Tops or your bathroom, it's just some fucked up place neither of us belongs. So you'd better just stick with me, kid.

[hasbiggenes]

[ About to ask who the hell doesn't know what a Wal-Mart is, but decides that maybe pissing this guy off isn't really the best of options. Besides, he has a point. ]

Okay. So should we like, try to figure out where we are, then? My mom's probably going to be pretty pissed off at me if I don't get home soon. [ ...he's handling this surprisingly well, isn't he. XD ]

[ringadingbaby]

Alright, kid. Just hold back on the whining an' the crying and I'm sure we'll find something. You got anything useful you can do?

[hasbiggenes]

Hey, I'm too big to cry. [ ...only not. But, Benny doesn't need to know that. ] And um...yeah, I have a few things I can do. I'm in the Boy Scouts, so I'm good with like, some survival stuff. I can build a fire?

Re: /brb liberal use of headcanon

[ringadingbaby]

Well ring-a-ding, aren't you the real outdoors type? [OH LORD. Benny isn't exactly sure how this kid survived long enough to dress himself. Assuming he dresses himself.]
