Blood Gulch Arms - Wednesday (NFB)

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Shop's open. There might be a valid reason for why Tex didn't open yesterday, but she wouldn't tell you if you asked. Neither would Appo. The Grunt might, but then you should be able to speak Duck.


Shooting range with moving targets:
$25 per hour

((Shop lay out and supplies can be found here.))

Pip walks in, his arm in a sling and a cigarette. With a practiced eye, (the only one he has), he slowly flips through the brocures.

Finally, he asks a question. "Do you guys do alterations? And what's your policy on special requests?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Not anymore, the guys I knew who could make alterations left town a while ago," Tex replied, there wasn't a trace of regret in her voice. "I can take special requests, just get me the specs and I'll see what I can do. It will cost you, though."

"Silver bullets," Pip said. "For an M-16 assault rifle and a nine-millimeter automatic."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"That's not going to be cheap," Tex replied. "How many do you need?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip pulled out a pad of paper and a pencil, after doing a little math, he slid it over to Tex, with two handwavey but enough to give Pip a fair supply in case of werewolf attck or something numbers circled on it.

Tex looked it over and gave Pip an estimate on how much it would probably cost. "I'll need half up front and I probably won't have it in until Monday. It's not exactly standard."

Pip nodded. "Cash only? Or can I write a check?"

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Check will do fine," Tex said.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip pulled out a checkbook and glanced down at his injured arm. "Medre. This is gonna hurt," he said. Wincing, he filled out the check and returned his arm to rest, ripping it out with his left and presenting it to Tex. "Where did you find those troopers, out of curiosity?" Pip asked. "They don't look like any mercenary company I've ever seen."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex raised an eyebrow and looked down at the kid. "Seen a lot of mercenaries, have you?" She asked before turning her attention to the check. Satisfying herself that all was in order, she put away.

Pip smiled. "You might say that. My dad was a mercenary. My grandfather was a mercenary. His father was a mercenary. You get the idea. I was raised in my grandfather's mercenary company. Even fought with them a bit to earn money for my tuition here."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Strange tuition for a mercenary," Tex replied, not sounding very impressed.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Pip said, scratching the back of his head. "I guess it is. I think my grandfather wanted me to get a full, well rounded education. Plus, the stories he heard about this place convinced him that it would teach me to be ready for anything."

Aeryn makes her way into the shop in the morning, shopping list in hand.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Aeryn," Tex greeted because she still a bit in a good mood from kicking ass. "In one piece, I see."

[can_be_more]

"For now, at least," she says, and waves her list. "I've got a bit of shopping to do."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I don't sell bagels," Tex replied. "What do you need?"

[can_be_more]

Aeryn doesn't even need to read the list. She has it memorized. "Tasers, flares, a blowtorch, about a dozen packs of pulse pistol ammunition, and I've been told you have some sort of gun that can be used to dispense holy water."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"I do," Tex pulled up the specs on the three (http://www.xtremez.com/paintball/product_information.asp?number=GNCZ3&variation=BK&aitem=&mitem=&back=yes&dept=73) paint ball (http://www.ariakon.com/acp.asp) hand guns (http://www.ariakon.com/overlord.asp) she had in stock. "I'd need to order the tasers, flares and blowtorch. The chakan oil I've got in stock."

[can_be_more]

She nods. "I need this by Friday morning at the latest."

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex smirked. "If I can get an army in one day, I can get you this too. I'll have it tomorrow."

[can_be_more]

"How bad will this hurt financially?" she asks, because handwavey or not she has to.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Depends if you're planning on shooting these all on your own," Tex replied. "You're buying in bulk, so I can cut you a deal."

[can_be_more]

"I appreciate it," she says, not really answering the first question.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"You better. I don't cut everyone a deal," Tex replied and motioned to the paintball specs. "Made up your mind yet?"
