Blood Gulch Arms - Wednesday (NFB)

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

A truck drives up to Blood Gulch Arms before opening time. Tex is already waiting outside. She has a short argument with the driver about his lateness before she finally signs the form and watches them unload the boxes. Getting tired of waiting, Tex jumps into the truck herself and unloads the crates with ammo which she stores in the supply room.

As the truck drives off again, Tex flips the sign on the door to 'open' and a bit later there's a sign stuck against the window of the door:

Special offer: gas mask and goggles
Price: $46
Students: $37


((Shop lay out and supplies can be found here. I'll make a seperate supply list once I'm feeling less lazy.))

Marty walks into the shop.

"Hey Tex. Got your message. I sent out an e-mail to the student body yesterday regarding the gas masks so hopefully people will take advantage of the offer."

"Let's hope so. It's a nice advertising trick either way," Tex replied and pulled a carton boxs from under the counter. "Twelve masks and goggles."

[oatmanspatient.livejournal.com]

Marty picks up the carton.

"Thanks Tex. I appreciate the custom order. I assume you have masks on hand in case anybody needs them."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I ordered a crate. I can order more if these things sell," Tex says with a shrug. "I'm open to custom orders. For weapons too, I only know what guns I use but I already had a request for another type of rifle."

Marty mulls that over for a few seconds. "I'll keep that in mind. If I run into any worried students, I'll send them your way for the gas masks. Thanks again."

Marty waves as he walks out the door with the carton.

Pulling up outside, Loz and Kadaj wait outside while Yazoo entered Tex's place. He had a question and right now, she was the only one who might have the answer.

[ooc- And the mun wonders how many more times the word 'outside' can be squeezed into the poses.]

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex was just finishing up her business with another customer who just bought one of the gas masks. She looked up when she saw Yazoo enter and waited for the customer to pull the door close behind him.

"Hey, Yazoo."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Tex," Yazoo nodded in greeting. When he got to the counter, he leaned on it. "I have a question for you. Can you order gun parts?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex tilted her head. If she hadn't been wearing her helmet, Yazoo would have been able to see her smirk. "For the right price I can order you a tank."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

That brought a smile. Yazoo had seen pictures of these tanks, they were pretty impressive. "I've got a Walther P1 I'm modifying and I need some parts for it. Standard 9mm, I can machine myself."

He unfolded a piece of paper and slid it across to her with a list of what he would need.

[ooc- Feel free to improvise on price. You'll notice how I conveniently left it vague. I can come up with a list if you like/need.]

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex looked over the list, she nodded slowly as she recognised some of the things. She was still getting used to this time's weapons, but they were similar enough to her own for it to not cause too much problem.

"These shouldn't be too hard to get a hand on. I think it will cost you 200 dollars max, I might be able to get it cheaper."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Good." Yazoo reached into his leathers and pulled out money. "How much do you want upfront?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Seventy," Tex said with a laugh. "At least it's real business instead of those stupid masks."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Yazoo's eyebrow arched and he looked toward the door. "I saw that. Expecting problems?" He counted out the money and placed it on the counter between them.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"No, a student asked me to sell them. He guarantueed promoting the business, so it seemed like a good deal." She picked up the money and counted it herself before putting it away in a drawer under the counter.

"That's not to say that they aren't expecting trouble, of course." She pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down the amount he just paid her and a short code.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"A student," Yazoo repeated. "These students around here are," he stopped because he didn't have a word for it.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Freaks?" Tex happily supplied as she pushed the piece of paper over the counter towards him. "I'll give you a call when I've got the parts. How private are these modifications that you're making?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Privacy, that was something he hadn't considered before. Yazoo pursed his lips. "Not private. The owner wanted some modernizations done to it. Sticking slides," he shrugged.

Something to consider for future dealings, however.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex nodded in understanding. "Alright then. If there's nothing else?"

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

Shaking his head, Yazoo pushed up from the counter and headed to the door. "Talk to you later."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Tex said as she watched him leave.
