Wellspring Arms- Thursday

[seriesofbaddecisions]

This place tended to be quiet, so Sabine spent part of her day back in the range, trying to get some practice in. Because it was sad! It was really pretty sad. One more thing to work on.

The "now hiring" sign was outside and the stylized "just yell" sign was on the counter inside, if you needed her.


[Open!]

The Ghoul wandered into the store with Dogmeat. He didn't want to admit Lucy had been right about the lack of bounties in the area, so he was hoping that an arms store would have something.

He read the sign and huffed. "I'm yelling!"

"I'm coming," Sabine called back, setting her weapon down before coming up front. "Can I help you?"

[the_ghoul]

"Well I sure hope so." Though, judging but how colorful the place was, he doubted there were many bounties posted here. "I've been lookin' all over this town for work and everything is coming up as a dead end."

It's like people around here didn't need someone to kill for them. Ridiculous.

"Well you're potentially in luck," Sabine told him. "Got much experience with weapons?"

[the_ghoul]

That question startled a laugh out of the Ghoul. "Yeah, you could say that I do."

He was so surprised that he had been asked, since everybody in the wasteland needed at least basic weapons skills to survive day-to-day.

"I was a marine back in the day," he explained. "And I've spent the last two hundred years bounty hunting."

She liked that reaction.

"I did that for about five minutes myself way back when," she said. "What's your name?"

[the_ghoul]

"Got lost in the wind over the years," he said, which was true, even if he did remember it himself. "Most just call me the Ghoul."

[seriesofbaddecisions]

She wondered if that was a bounty hunting thing or if someone was just a jerk about a guy who might look different (she didn't know his world) and she was not asking.

"Sabine," she said. "When would you want to start?"

[the_ghoul]

It was both, Sabine. It was both.

"As soon as possible. I've got a mouth to feed," he said, nodding down at Dogmeat.

Dogmeat, who barked like she knew she was the one being talked about. Maybe she did. You never know.

Sabine smiled down at the dog, because dogs were great.

"I've got an opening tomorrow if you want it," she offered. "If not, next Friday?"

[the_ghoul]

"I can do tomorrow." It was like he had much else to do around here besides worry keep track of Lucy. "Shit, if it had known it'd be this easy I would have walked in here days ago."

Sabine smiled. "Yeah, we are not not what you'd call rigorous about our hiring practices on this island."
