Mercenary Mayhem IC Contact

[the_deadeye]

I'm not available right now. Either working or making sure some idiot doesn't get killed. Regardless leave a message at the tone. Make it short. Especially if a client. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Later.

Is there any chance at all they could consider me useful enough that this person who hurt her won't hurt Oquirrh again? I'd give up a lot for that.

[the_deadeye]

If you put it in the contract, everyone has to abide by the rules you set up in it. However if you do anything to break your contract, Oquirrh becomes free game again. That's how it works.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

But do you think there is any way that they'd even contract some street-rat pickpocket into a courier and let her use that contract to protect someone who left them?

[the_deadeye]

Kid, you've been working for me for the past couple of weeks and have vastly improved despite not having a car. You're reliable and don't have to be reminded about everything. They'll like that. Reliability and efficiency are what they look for.

I'll be able to give them feedback on your performance thus far. I hope being what I am gives my word some weight to it. I'll let you know if they bite.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Thanks. I want to do this for her. I don't care what position they want me in, I don't care if they make me leave Gulch. I want her safe. And I don't want to be used against her.

[the_deadeye]

You sound like someone I work with already. Alright, I sent in an inquiry. Give me a couple of minutes to get a response back from them. I can't promise anything yet.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

It's cool. I gotta head to the mall quickly anyway. You're supposed to get people presents to make them feel better. So I gotta do that before I ask someone to take me to her.

[the_deadeye]

...they're willing to discuss a job as a full time courier with you.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Well, it's a start. How do I do this?

[the_deadeye]

Draft up a couple of things you want in it. I'll hand them over and get them approved. Then I'll send you over the full contract and you have to sign it, agreeing to it and send it back to them.

That's basically it.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

My stipulations are that I won't spy on my friends, and Oquirrh is protected from harm by Control. I figure you know how to word it better.

[the_deadeye]

Is that it, Abby? Nothing else?

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

What else would there even be?

[the_deadeye]

Huh I don't know. Everyone is different. I'll go ahead and send these.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Wait. A helmet! If I'm really going to work for them they might as well foot that bill since all of you have REALLY cool helmets.

[the_deadeye]

I'll add that to the list then.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Thanks. You're just the best, Bossman.

[the_deadeye]

Welcome. I'll send you over the contract when I get it.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Cool. I guess... pleasure to be working together?

[the_deadeye]

Attached: Contract sent over by Control.

Something like that. Nothing changes though. I'll still be your boss technically.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

You're just the BEST. I'm gonna, like, buy you candy bars!

[the_deadeye]

There's no need to do that. I'm only doing my job.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Gonna make you a basket with your favorites.

[the_deadeye]

You're one ridiculous kid, you know that?

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

I'm almost eighteen, so I'm nearly a ridiculous young adult.
