[purrtagonist]

[HEY MAX I KNOW THIS ISN'T OUR WEEKLY PC, BUT--]

Seven?

You were kidding, right? That was a joke, to throw off the Players?

Comments

[concertmaster]

I'm the black market of this society.

[purrtagonist]

A one man black market at age ten? That's a world record.

[concertmaster]

I'm just that fucking good. And when society's like, thirty something people, it's not that hard.

[purrtagonist]

[hmmm]

What else do you sell, by the way? I'm about to come into another financial windfall.

[b. . . blood money]

[concertmaster]

Blood money. Nice. I can sell pretty much anything. My coming and goings aren't limited like you losers.

[purrtagonist]

[he flinches a bit. don't remind him it's blood money. crying]

Weapons included?

[uh]

I know I can ask for them from Maya, but that's limited to the things she provides us to help us with-- [murder] -- our job. I don't know if we're allowed to keep them.

[concertmaster]

Weapons included, yeah. But those aren't cheap. Not that you wouldn't be able to afford it.

[purrtagonist]

[he's in the 1% now Max, he isn't worried about cost]

How much for a handgun?

[concertmaster]

Like... three to five hundred without bullets, probably.

[it depends on what francy, the money god, says,]

[purrtagonist]

[yike. considering Akira never needed to buy bullets b/c COGNITIVE GUNS, he forgot that such a thing would even be necessary]

And how much are bullets?

[concertmaster]

[thank god for that with how fucking expensive model guns are]

Should've bought some at Bullets, Bullets and More Bullets.

[... but he relents]

I dunno, fifty each? Weapons outside erasure is the one thing I have to double check with the Composer before providing.

[purrtagonist]

[fucking right Iwai was running a racket]

You say that, but it rained knives last Thursday.

Ah, there's a question: why did it rain knives?

[concertmaster]

Lousy weather.

[this is believable?]

Let's just say someone somewhere made a bad choice.

[purrtagonist]

Player boon?

[a beat]

[air quotes]

"Boon?"

[concertmaster]

More like... Game-wide "boon".

[he also air quoted]

[purrtagonist]

Everyone received free knives that day, so. . .

[technically true?]

[concertmaster]

Free knives, woohoo.

[purrtagonist]

[dryly]

I wonder who is going to stab who next.

[concertmaster]

Yeah, what is with the stabbing? Do you know how many knives I have to keep hold of now?

[purrtagonist]

[um]

No. . . how many?

[concertmaster]

A lot.

[that's not a number]

[purrtagonist]

[hm]

You should become a collector.

[concertmaster]

A knife collector?

[purrtagonist]

Sure.

[HE'S TEN]

Everyone needs a hobby.

[concertmaster]

[frowns for... seemingly... no reason??]

Yeah, well, that's not gonna be it.
