Sooooo everyone noticed the fucking strip mall starting up outside, yeah?

[Julie is standing near one of the outside windows. The 'HOT' part of the 'HOT TOPIC' sign is visible over her left shoulder. Her right shoulder is occupied by a small, cat-like creature that's staring into the camera while Julie speaks.

She jerks her thumb over her shoulder, both eyebrows raised.]

Are we not talking about the strip mall? Is it like the first rule?

[There's a pause, then she tosses her head slightly and grins.]

I'm going to Hot Topic, in like... ten minutes, if anyone else wants to come.

I hope so. I want to build more but it's so hard to find anything good that probably isn't half soaked in radiation.

[ Sigh. ]

Sure thing. If you see any tools, as well, let me know? I need gear to keep my own weapons working well.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Tell me about it...

[She's so used to scavenging, but there's so much here that can't be touched. At least, not yet.]

I mean, it might sound really weird, but I always kinda feel better if I have a gun in easy reach.

[circumspector]

Not weird, or at least, not to me. Everyone, where I come from, is gun obsessed.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Oh, sure, same. I mean... I don't know if I'd say obsessed, but guns are kinda necessary, you know?

[circumspector]

Yeah, I get that.

Do you have a gun now?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah, I have a gun. Brought it from where I was before here. No spare ammo, though.

[circumspector]

Now that I can help with. With some time, granted.

When you've got some time and you've finished exploring, drop around. I'll take some measurements off your gun and see what I can sort out.

[redwinekindofgirl]

I can make the time when you've got time. Really, nothing I'm gonna explore here is gonna go anywhere.

[circumspector]

[ Angel hums, pressing her lips together. ]

Have a look around, don't hurry back or anything, but while you're there - see if you can find me any mechanical things? Anything is fine. Cash registers, torches, little clicker machines, really just anything. I need spare parts.
