General, I've got good news and bad news. Got somewhere private enough that we can talk?

Open to Network, not fail-locked:
So, uh, I got a question for you guys. Anybody know where I can get a sword around here? Mine seems to have not made the trip with me and it feels weird to not have it, so...[sheepish look is go] I'd just really appreciate it if I could get a new one or something. Or if somebody could tell me they've seen my old one. It's about six feet long, weighs around 50 pounds...pretty hard to miss, but I can't find it anywhere.

[Nutrition bars? ...crap. He hates those things.]

Okay. Maybe ration packs are better than that, but you're the one who said the prices for the food in the restaurant aren't any good. What are they charging up there?

[midgarhorizon]

Either you got to find something they want, or they take an arm.

[pauldrons]

[See this look, Reno? This is the look of a person slightly disgusted. No food is worth an arm, thank you.]

Yeah, okay, I'm staying out of there. Thanks for the warning. [Slight shudder, then he stops and stares.]

...You're not talking from personal experience, are you?

[midgarhorizon]

Shiva's tits. Do I look like an idiot?

[pauldrons]

[Do you really want an answer to that?] No, but it sounds like you were telling me because you lived through it the hard way or something. How was I supposed to know you didn't?

[midgarhorizon]

Zack, turk. I've got ten weeks of snooping around under my belt.

[pauldrons]

And Turks don't learn things the hard way sometimes? You guys are human too, you know.

[midgarhorizon]

Please, I'm a pro. Where did this weird reputation I'm careless come from? I've been trying to figure it out for years now.

[Okay, so the whole elevator incident might have had something to do with it, but he had come out unscathed. Mostly]

[pauldrons]

Maybe it came up because you weren't a pro when you got started? Rumors can follow you for a long time, you know.

[Mostly unscathed doesn't...really count, unfortunately. Not that Zack would know from experience, nope. Never.]

[midgarhorizon]

I'm just glad I'm not a SOLDIER, with the fanclubs and all sorts of weird shit fans do.

Like writing "fan stories."

[pauldrons]

Yeah, you're...probably better off that way. [Sheepish look is go. Someone remembers those things quite well.] They really did make crazy stories, that's for sure.

[midgarhorizon]

If I remember right, there was this really good one involving you and Kunsel.

I mean, who knew?

[pauldrons]

Uh...apparently the people who wrote them? Though...[shaking his head.] Kunsel's just a good friend. Never thought of him as more.
