[nostalgiabomb]

... Ah. See, I was about to ask if you knew how threats worked, seeing as how that really didn't seem like much of one.

[phaselocknroll]

When I first met the man, he basically handed me a scalpel and said, "here, help me cut this guy's chest open".

[nostalgiabomb]

Man.

The place you come from is seriously demented.

[phaselocknroll]

That's part of its charm.

[nostalgiabomb]

"Charm"? Really? [ He snorts a little, amused ]

See, idyllic little towns with lakes and corner stores, where everyone knows one another? That is a place with charm.

A dude who'd probably sell your kidney when you went in for a check-up is, like, way on the other end of the "charm" spectrum.

[phaselocknroll]

I don't know. I think you'd find your stride there pretty quickly.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He huffs a laugh. ] Yeah? If I didn't get my liver stolen on day one, you mean.

[phaselocknroll]

If anyone is going to steal your liver, it would probably be a psycho, and you're better off just shooting them anyway.

[nostalgiabomb]

Hey, sounding better and better. Wonder if they've got any travel brochures for that place up in Haven North?

[phaselocknroll]

You have to understand, I was trained my entire life to fight, but never allowed the chance. Pandora was practically a paradise.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ His expression softens a little. ]

Freedom. Well. That I can understand. I mean, personally, gimme a ship and the wide open blackness of space, and I'm more than happy.

[phaselocknroll]

Yeah? I'd love to travel to other planets one day.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He shifts in his seat a little, getting comfortable. ]

Space travel a thing back home?

[phaselocknroll]

Oh, definitely. I traveled from Athernas to Pandora easily enough. I'd like to see what else is out there.

[nostalgiabomb]

It's a whole lot of fucking emptiness, actually. Like. Wow. A lot.

Too bad I've never heard of Pandora, unless it's in relation to some chick and a box. When we get out of this place, I'd totally swing by and pick you up.

[phaselocknroll]

Oh, don't say things like that. Then I'll want you to swing by and pick me up.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He laughs a little, shrugging. ]

I just said I would, wouldn't I? All you'd have to do to pay me back is put my buddy Rocket in a phaselock, and we'd totally be even. I'd take you wherever you wanted to go.

[phaselocknroll]

And you want me to phaselock this person because-? Just for fun or what?

[nostalgiabomb]

He's kind of a prick. Talk to him for five minutes and you'd totally end up doing it anyway, I bet.

[phaselocknroll]

Duly noted. And I guess one phaselock is a small price to pay for space travel.

[nostalgiabomb]

Don't suppose you've got coordinates for Pandora, do you?

[phaselocknroll]

Not off the top of my head, unfortunately. Sorry.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He sighs quietly. ]

Nothing's ever that easy. Sounds like some research is due if you're gonna hitch a ride with us. Think they'd have anything helpful in the library?

[phaselocknroll]

Possibly, if it hasn't crumbled into dust yet.

[ and she looks so sad. Her precious books, nooooo ]

[nostalgiabomb]

[ He reaches over to give her a sympathetic pat on her hand. ]

Hey, maybe they wrote everything up on the walls by now, huh?
