a courier appears

[knifetoagunfight]

If I hear anything about Ancient Tribal Wisdom outta you, I'm walking. We clear?

['sup, fellow courier-sis]

They tend to... stick their foot in their mouth, these muns. Don't worry, though! they're much nicer than a lot of folks in the Mojave.

[knifetoagunfight]

Only 'cause they can't greet you with a laser rifle.

[justnumbers]

Or a Ripper. Ugh. I hate those things.

[knifetoagunfight]

Not bad, if you know how to use them. Jam like crazy, though.

[justnumbers]

Not exactly the best thing to see coming at you from the other side of a cramped tent, though. [Ugh, Caesar's Legion. Ugh ugh ugh.]

[knifetoagunfight]

If it's not that, it's a machete. Every time. [Ugh.]

[justnumbers]

And always the same thing. [Here, Therese puts on a terrible imitation of- well, it's supposed to be a Legionary, but it's too nasally.] "The Caesar has marked you for death!" Ugh. Can't a girl go to the 188 in peace any more?

[knifetoagunfight]

You'd think they'd learn not to just rush at you. But nope.

[okayboss]

Walking where, boss? Are your eyes so much better than mine that you can actually see the door out?

[knifetoagunfight]

Plenty of doors out here. Just gotta pick one and go. Whole thing makes me wish I were any good at picking locks, though.

sorry 4 slow

[okayboss]

Gotta admire your enthusiasm, boss. There's a whole lotta trouble out there, [begrudgingly,] not like that's anything new, but even with these cataracts an old man like me can tell it's nothing worth tangling with.

[knifetoagunfight]

Always gonna be trouble. Just gotta find the sort worth putting up with.

[okayboss]

[Raul laughs. ... nervously. Heh.] If you say so, boss.

[knifetoagunfight]

You plannin' to see how it all turns out? You'll hear 'bout it, anyway.

[okayboss]

[This isn't the Courier in his headspace, but Raul is going to privately worry anyway. He can't help it. This is one of "his" Couriers, too.] You planning on dragging an old man along? Again?

[knifetoagunfight]

Could try following you into something for a change. Depends on how it goes.

[iwanttosettheworldonfire]

Ooh, ooh, threaten to bite them. No, lick them. No one wants to mess with a crazy person. Solves so many problems.

[knifetoagunfight]

Might just add to this one, though I like the sound of it.
