Ladies, Gents and Qubit:

If you happen to find neatly folded trousers tucked away in corners around the place, leave them alone.

It's important they stay where they are in case of emergencies.

If you take them and don't replace them I will know and you will regret it.

And if you do see a tall, naked, handsome man looking for said trousers: Do not touch.

Thanks, we appreciate it.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Anything else you have stashed in corners I should know about?

[nothinglikefather]

[ That makes Jacob laugh. ]

Are you asking as a concerned citizen or a cop?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Force of habit. I don't even think we have contraband here..

More asking so if I see your pile of gloves somewhere I don't take any. Or cans of string beans. I dunno what else you're putting places.

Though I do gotta say, prepping works better if you don't have to go on a scavenger hunt to find your shit.

[nothinglikefather]

Just trousers Pratt. Can't think of a reason I'd want stashed gloves or beans.

The trousers aren't hidden to keep them away from other people. They're stowed in case they're needed in particular circumstances.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Everything you say just makes this whole thing weirder.

I'd almost rather you were hiding bricks of cocaine in the walls.

[nothinglikefather]

Why would I hide cocaine?

[ Jacob is from a time where they put that shit in everything.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

Here? To keep someone from stealing it I guess.

But I could ask you the same thing about pants.

[nothinglikefather]

Good point well made, this is why I like you.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Everyone likes me when I'm not arresting them.

Okay well they used to. Probably not anymore.

[nothinglikefather]

Like you said before, you have no jurisdiction here. Thats a winner in my books.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I'm trying to think of what you could be doing here that I'd even care about.

Currently you climb plants and stash clothes around. So loitering, trespassing and petty littering?

[nothinglikefather]

Theft, assault and attempted murder might go in there too.

Does murder count against Reindire?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Who'd you attempt to murder?

And no. They're freebies. Just don't touch my deer up in the pen, they're skittish enough.

[nothinglikefather]

That Chronos bastard. Big guy, flame thrower?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Someone actually has a flame thrower?!?!

Fuck all of that noise.

I.. don't think I know who that is. Big guy describes a lot of people.

[nothinglikefather]

I mean, that's his entire personality right there: big, on fire. And has it in for Lennie Snart.

Not that it matters, as he's disappeared.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Good, I spent two years in Hadriel trying to protect my shooting range from people with flame throwers. You don't need to improve your aim with a flame thrower. IT'S A FLAME THROWER.

[nothinglikefather]

Mate, I don't think it would have bothered him.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Sure but, the barn is pretty flammable. I'd like to keep it all in one piece.

[nothinglikefather]

What anyone else liked or wanted never crossed his mind Pratt. It really didn't.

But I doubt he would have done it for shits and giggles.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Sounds like a real winner. Probably better off without him then.

Though maybe he found a way back home and didn't bother telling anyone else.

[nothinglikefather]

From experience if he found a way back, he probably didn't get a chance to tell anyone.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Think it sucks you out of here as abruptly as you show up? That makes sense I guess.

[nothinglikefather]

That's what happened the last place I was stuck. Didn't want to go but it spat me out anyway.
