Blood Gulch Arms - Friday (NFB)

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

A fine and lovely morning. The bratty duck seems to have camped outside of Blood Gulch Arms. When he notices movement inside the store, he gets up and ruffles his feathers. He's all ready to look bratty and annoying, especially after he heard what happened with Snookums last night. Only, Tex is ignoring the duck. He really hadn't seen that one coming.


Closing early at 14:00

Just in: Peacekeeper weapons
Pulse pistol and Pulse rifle


((Shop lay out and supplies can be found here. Slow play until evening. RL kicks in.))

Straight after Ethics, Charlie headed into town. He'd been meaning to stop by to check on his order, but hadn't found the time. He eyed the duck as he walked in and closed the door behind him. "What'd you do to deserve the duck protestor outside? Target practice at the pond?"

"Kicked it in the ass," Tex replied as she looked at Charlie. "It's about time."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Busy week. Don't worry, I'll pay a holding fee for your trouble." Not MUCH of a holding fee, but the sentiment was nice.

"That's what I like to hear," Tex already sounded less annoyed. "You want to try out the goods?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

He nodded. "If we get attacked by zombies again, or killer ducks from Mars, I'm gonna want to know how to shoot it without having to think twice."

"I just hope you're kidding about the ducks, kid." Tex shook her head and lifted the side of the counter for Kawalsky.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I dunno.. those ducks are pretty ominous-looking." He followed Tex.

"Won't be once I get my hands on it," Tex grumbled and punched the code unto the panel, murmured 'team killing fucktard' at the door and then motioned for Kawalsky to enter first.

Charlie glanced sidewards at Tex as he passed her. "Got a thing against ducks?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I got a thing against bratty ducks," Tex growled and moved towards the weapon rack where she had stored the shotgun. She picked it up and then passed the racks towards a crate on the other side of the suply room where she picked up a box of ammo.

"Oh, bratty ducks. I see the dilemma."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"No dilemma," Tex said shortly, her tone was enough to let Kawalsky know what exactly she had in mind for it. She hit the panel to the only other door in the room and entered the practice range. It was nothing more than a bare room with targets at the other side.

She loaded the shotgun and handed it to Kawalsky.

Charlie held the shotgun in his hands to get a feel for the weight. He posed, then raised the shotgun, aimed and fired. There was more of a kick to it than he remembered, but that was to be expected considering he used to be a lot heavier. He lowered the weapon, then turned and nodded at Tex.

"$1.100," Tex said and held out her hand to take the gun back. "Two boxes of ammo included."

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Charlie did the math in his head, the nodded. "I already paid you for the plasma grenades, the gas mask and a month of storage last week. So this is just for the gun and the ammo."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Yep, got a problem with that?" Tex asked.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Nope. Just making sure we're clear on the details. What about access? You don't live here 24/7 I'm guessing, since that duck outside expects you to leave some time. What if it's after hours and I need access to my stuff? Zombies don't make appointment or call ahead."

"I got my own place above the store, but I get the occasional job outside of town." Tex replied and she shrugged. "Phonenumber to the store is actually hooked up to my radio," she said as tapped the side of her helmet.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"So I'll call. I won't, unless it's an emergency. Although if it's an emergency I'll probably bang down the door and tell you to watch out for the walking dead."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Please do, it seems I missed all the fun. You won't be banging down the door to the supply room, though." Tex smirked and moved back into said room. "I take it you want to store the shotgun here as well?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I meant the front door.. if the surly duck outside doesn't beat me to it. And yeah, shotgun stays here. I'd rather keep it close by, but gun restrictions on campus. Annoying, but necessary. There's a lot of trigger happy kids who don't appreciate weapons for what they are at the school. They just think guns are 'cool'."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Let them shoot themselves then," Tex shrugged as she put the shotgun back into the rack.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I'm all for that. Payment - cash, right?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Preferably," Tex nodded and palmed the panel on the inside of the armour door.
