If you were looking for me, you reached me. If you don't know who 'me' is then you didn't reach who you were looking for.

If this is Red calling about jobs, just leave the information and I'll be there.

If this is Sis, then promise I'll get back to you ASAP. If you're got a recipe idea just tell me what it is and I'll look into it.

Otherwise leave your name and message and I'll contact you soon dears.

Clouds kill you in plenty of ways. If it's the kind that punches holes in your lungs, and the holes are big enough, that's just the one that gets to you first.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

And good filters keep that from happening?

[baruthumos]

Good filters will, unless it's a bad storm, and even then give you enough time to get inside. The ones that let you walk around in a storm? Those are rationed, only for emergency services.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

And mercs?

[baruthumos]

If you had enough money, maybe. Depends on the storm and what it's rated for. My old helmet? There's been maybe four storms in five years I couldn't go out in, because my filter doubled for hazmat cleanup.

But if you're a paramedic, and someone has an emergency in that storm?

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Wow your helmet sounds way better than mine.

[baruthumos]

My new helmet is just about the greatest thing anyone has ever put on their head. My old helmet? A piece of junk with a good filter shoved in.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

What do you mean, your new one?

[baruthumos]

My one with the purple stripes. My brother built it for me. It calculates blast radii and lets me see veins. So cool.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Haven't seen it. Your brother knows how to build stuff?

[baruthumos]

He makes helmets. Super-cool helmets. He knows other stuff, too, but that's how he sells his labor.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Sells his labor? Really weird thing to say.

[baruthumos]

It's, you know. Capitalism. Delta goes to work and builds a helmet, or fixes one, but the money goes to his boss, who takes his cut and then pays him for his labor.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

That's cool. I have to save for a helmet.

[baruthumos]

What kind are you looking at? Are you going to Smithson's?

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

What is Smithsons? Just a standard Mark V.

[baruthumos]

Helmet shop. Been going there for years. They're real good with mods. A lot of mercs go there too.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

My boss took me to the Charon store.

[baruthumos]

Is he paying? No harm in looking around. Smithson has plenty of Charon helmets.

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

No. I am saving up.

[baruthumos]

Then he shouldn't complain about you looking around. Do you want to check out Smithson's?

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Then you feel safe around me?

[baruthumos]

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

[quicksmiles_nimblefingers]

Working for a bad guy and all that. But if you're willing, then please.

[baruthumos]

I'm dating his partner, which I think is the greater sin.

Name your time. Except Wednesday.
