Here is an overflow log for the Black Rock, New Mexico mission! The original log is here, and the OOC information is here. Start new threads or continue old ones, this is just some more room for it to grow into.

So if I'm making it worse, and you were enjoying it -- doesn't that mean I'm helping?

[She's smirking. Okay, yes, she's enjoying this.]

[fe_male]

[ ... ] Shut up, okay, you can make it worse... worse, not better worse. What do you want to drink?

[gofortheoptics]

You probably know more than me about what the bar's serving. Something that won't taste like alcohol. You know, typical people-who-rarely-drink drinks.

[...not a long island iced tea, Tony, unless you want to carry her home later.]

[fe_male]

I'm not sure it's possible to find something that doesn't taste like alcohol here. Turpentine, maybe. If anything. I'll see what I can do. [ He'll go to the bar to order, coming back with something normal looking for himself and something that took a fair deal more description for her. ] Try that. Should be.... Kind of fruity. Less burn.

[gofortheoptics]

So what you're saying is that it won't immediately make my eyes water -- just afterward.

[She was pretty sure he was right about it being a problem finding things that didn't taste like alcohol. From what she'd seen, fresh fruit wasn't exactly in high supply. She sniffs the glass.]

Smells...well, not as bad as anything else, so I'm sure it's good. Thanks, Tony.

[fe_male]

Basically. [ He downs most of his own in one go, marginally okay afterward. ] Seriously. Turpentine.

You been on any other missions yet?

[gofortheoptics]

[She takes a tentative sip of hers and at least manages not to pull a face at it.]

Not so far. I guess they're trying to keep the smaller missions for people they already trust.

[Or...something.]

[fe_male]

[ He's pretty sure something about that logic doesn't actually make sense but right now he doesn't care that much. ]

Sure. That's as good a reason as anything else. You know you can volunteer for some of them?

[gofortheoptics]

I didn't know that, actually. I wonder if they've got all of our specialities written down somewhere in a database.

[Then again, maybe it was too much to ask that they be that organized.]

[fe_male]

I bet they've got something about all of us written down. There's gotta be some kind of organization to it all, since the training sessions are grouped off by skillsets and you know they're tracking who picks up what from the armory. Beyond that, no idea.
