voice testing so hard
[Gob is very nervous, and very fidgety. He wrings a white rag in his hands -- the one he uses to clean the bar with. How'd he get that here anyway? Ah it doesn't matter.]
I guess I should be grateful. [Even though he says that, his tone is gloomy and solemn.] It's better here than workin' for Moriarty, right? I just hope people treat ghouls here better than they do at home.
[Especially since a lot of people here have crazy super powers. Oh my god he's so nervous..!]

Really? I'm used to the weird looks, but so long as I don't run into any ghoul haters I think I'll be fine. Thank you.
[For the heads up.]
no subject
You're welcome. My name's Elle. It's nice to meet you.
no subject
[He's praying where ever he ends up, if anywhere, is like that for him. It would be nice to be someplace without getting spat on. Too bad he can't bring Nova with him.]
Name's Gob. You're alright, smoothskin. Oh, I mean Elle...sorry. Force of habit.
[Way to go Gob, giving the nice human that awful nickname.]
no subject
So, where're you from, Gob?
no subject
[Dumb saloon.]
no subject
Yeah? Do you like it? [working in the saloon, she means. ahhahhahahahahhhahahhahahhh]
no subject
[Underworld was pretty welcoming towards smoothskins if they didn't cause any trouble. But it wouldn't be good if every human in D.C knew about a city full of ghouls.]
When my boss isn't knocking me around it ain't so bad.
[He's not even being sarcastic.]
no subject
[............. eh, wait a second.]
Your boss does what?
no subject
[Why is this surprising? He's a ghoul.]
I get to listen to the radio and sometimes I like talkin' to the customers. So it ain't so bad in the grand scheme of things.
[With the same gloomy and defeated tone as before, because hahaha he really hates it there.]
no subject
She has to be very careful to contain her response, because she doesn't want to undermine what he's clinging to. To her, it doesn't sound like it'd be enough of a highlight to counter that kind of abuse. But, well. They just met. She shouldn't trample his opinions, not when he's so obviously used to that.]
He sounds like a horrible person. [to say the least. and she can't keep her anger out of her tone when she says that. she just can't. what an asshole.] Why haven't you left to go back to Underworld?
no subject
[His words just trail of into an unintelligible grumble, an embarrassed one. There were two reasons, and both of them made him feel quite silly to admit.]
I'm not exactly the kind that should be out there traveling the wastes. [That's how he got caught by slavers in the first place.] I need to pay off my debt to Moriarty before I can leave. Maybe make enough so I can hire an escort. And bring...my friend.
[Moriarty makes it hard, charging him for room and everything. But That's the best way to do it. He knows if he tries to make a run for it he'd be caught so fast.]
no subject
[yoooooo Daisy wanna take a trip]
no subject
You would do that for me? Even though you only just met me? [It...it's a really nice feeling to know.] I couldn't ask you to do that, though. But I appreciate it, kid. It's nice to know there are good people like you around.
[He really, truly means that.]
no subject
I would. I mean it. No one deserves to be in a place like that. And you don't have to ask; I'm offering.
no subject
[Though sometimes he wonders if that's just bull. Still, it's his only hope of getting out of there some day.]
no subject
okay yeah now Elle's REALLY angry because all she can think of is Boone's Carla and
yeah you done it now, she's not going to stop until she's threatened the everloving hell out of Moriarty and rescued you and your friend, Gob]
That won't be a problem. I have more caps than I know what to do with. [living in vegas + visited the Sierra Madre + luck of 8] I'll get both you and your friend out of there.
no subject
And if he just doesn't want to let us go?
no subject
I wouldn't worry about it. If I can talk down Legate Lanius, I don't have any doubt that I won't be able to deal with him, too.
no subject
[What if something happens and it gets violent and Nova gets hurt or something nooo he doesn't want to think about it..!]
no subject
Gob. I promise that I won't let anything bad happen. That's what I'm going there to stop in the first place, right?
no subject
Gob is clearly flustered by this point.]
I...believe you. But even if the possibility that this could backfire and hurt Nova is a small one, it...
[It scares the hell out of him, okay?]
no subject
[Elle doesn't know a thing about Moriarty, but she knows herself and what she can do and what she has done. It's not so much confidence in her voice as it is complete and utter assurance. She squeezes his hands.]
She'll be safe. Everything will be okay.
no subject
It's the Protag vibe.][He makes a sound in his throat that somewhat resembles one of uncertainty, but.] It sounds crazy, but there's something about the look in your eyes that makes me believe you could do it.
