No, it's not. [He won't disagree there. He knows what it's like to feel powerful, but Discedo has a funny ability to take that away. Well, Discedo and some blonde asshole with a stupid sword.] Makes shit a hell of a lot easier though.

[Suffice it to say they may have slightly differing definitions here.]

[meowforbackup]

Easy? [ He snorts. Such differing opinions. Different backgrounds, too. ] Shooting a man in the kneecaps is easy. Getting what you want from him without proper... encouragement, that's a lot harder.

My work doesn't have to be any more difficult than it already is.

[idkmybffpyramid]

You might not approve, Ocelot, but it works.

[He gestures broadly, as if some evidence to that effect is going to drop out of the sky. It doesn't, but that doesn't really have any effect on Reno's momentum here.]

I'm not an idiot, I know when I'm outgunned. And I sure as fuck was when I got here. If playing nice with the locals lets me avoid having my shit kicked in long enough to get on with the task at hand, you can bet your ass I'm gonna do it.

[meowforbackup]

Fine, fine... we'll just have to agree to disagree. [ He waves it off with a nonchalant hand gesture, letting a moment of silence stretch before... ]

It wasn't kindness that got you off that roof, you know.

[idkmybffpyramid]

[Snort] Yeah? What was it, pity?

[meowforbackup]

[ He shrugs half-hearted, tone nonchalant as if this isn't admitting something. ] I was new. You looked like someone who would be useful to be on decent terms with.

Despite your architectural difficulties.

[idkmybffpyramid]

If my ass stuck on that roof looked like someone useful, you must have really low standards.

[He's touched, really. But also that situation was pretty pathetic on his end, let's not lie.]

[meowforbackup]

You do remember who else was stuck here, right? I had to work with what little I could find.

[idkmybffpyramid]

Well it's nice to know I'm better than nothing.

[meowforbackup]

Better than roaches, too. Don't forget that.

[idkmybffpyramid]

I'm working my way up in the world.

[meowforbackup]

Watch it, or I'll start tolerating you.

[idkmybffpyramid]

That's a slippery slope. I'm very likeable, I hear.

[meowforbackup]

From who? The roaches?

[idkmybffpyramid]

Dogs and bartenders too.

[meowforbackup]

That explains why you did so well after the apocalypse.

[idkmybffpyramid]

[Oh no, now he misses Shell. It catches him off-guard, so there's a brief flicker of something a little sad in his expression before he catches himself. This is a lighthearted conversation, he can't be doing with those emotions right now.]

That and my robust immune system.

[meowforbackup]

[ He catches that flicker of emotion. Of course he does. How could he not? ]

You did have the benefits of green water from hell to aid you. None of those luxuries now.

[idkmybffpyramid]

[How about you stop being so observant for 10 minutes.]

Managed without before I bunkered down in Horton. [Shrug.] I'm sure I'll manage again.

[meowforbackup]

Let's hope so. [ But he's worried. He can handle himself well enough but he's no John, who would probably be able to survive in the middle of a nuclear blast with nothing but a tan to show for it. ]

Let's get going on that. Quickly.

[idkmybffpyramid]

[Ah, back to business. Reno wastes no time making his way out of the theatre and turns towards the High School.]

High School's a good first stop. Assuming everyone didn't die of dehydration, there'll be some bottled water around.

[meowforbackup]

Let's hope you're right. I'd prefer to set up a filtering system as well, just in case. [ Business indeed. Tense, stiff-voiced business. ]

[idkmybffpyramid]

We'll check the labs. [He mirrors Ocelot's tone. Looks like it's time to be Serious.] Difficult to imagine much of the equipment up there ever got used.

[meowforbackup]

[ He's not too fond of dying. Especially not by something as pathetic as a lack of food and clean water. ] Doesn't mean it'll be in good working order... but we can improvise. It's better than nothing.

[idkmybffpyramid]

It's a starting place. [He glances at Ocelot with a slight smirk because he can't help it, he has a problem.] Try not being so pessimistic right off the bat.
