You not understanding doesn't mean there isn't any reasoning to it. What I do for kicks don't got nothing to do with vocabulary.

You throw yourself to the unknown masses on account of your therapist and you don't expect to be judged? That's plain stupid.

[endof_theline]

Alright, well I guess you're just right, then.

I expect people to try and respect each other when they're having a conversation. I guess I'm just too damn old, and that's not a thing anymore.

[courier5]

Didn't say that, people always explaining themselves in a manner thats easy and acceptable to you also part of your expectations?

Iiii think you're proving my point about being stuck.

[endof_theline]

Not in the least. But they also don't jump down my throat and call me stupid when I ask for clarification. Well-- most of them don't, anyway.

I'm trying to update myself, believe me.

[courier5]

Huh. You think that was me jumping down your throat? We aren't inclined to the same sensitivities where I'm from.

Might be easier to start with your expectations before fixing anything.

[endof_theline]

Man, I just can't get it right with you, can I.

Which expectations would those be?

[courier5]

I am of difficult character and hard disposition and that don't make you any less prickly.

Respect shouldn't come from a place of expectation.

[endof_theline]

I don't know, I'm feeling a little less prickly.

It should be earned. Alright. I can respect that. If that's ok with you.

[courier5]

Suppose it would impolite for me to question this change of heart.

Don't need my permission though it suits me just fine.

[endof_theline]

Didn't think you were especially worried about being impolite.

Good. I'm Bucky, by the way. Wasn't sure if knew that already, but- in case you didn't.

[courier5]

I'm not. Old barter habit, courtesy can make a bad deal good.

That's a relief, had half a thought you'd go by Metal Arm or something cringey. Conner, by the by.

[endof_theline]

Maybe kinda like respect, huh?

[He's kidding. Mostly.]

Oh no, I'm not one of those super hero types. Nice to meet you, Conner. That's a pretty good name, too.

[courier5]

Or a sense of humor.

[she can catch what you're throwing...sometimes]

Hard to tell, the city seems to be crawling with them. Thank you, kindly, Bucky. I confess, I got not fucking idea what makes a name good.

[endof_theline]

Exactly.

It's not a bad thing, but their names are pretty corny. Yours is cool, as the kids say. That's what make it good.

[courier5]

I had a bounty on a man named Cook-Cook, it could be worse. Don't know about being cool and even less about kids.

[it's a reflex the bit of wariness that's crept into her demeanor. friendly meant a lot of different things in the wasteland.]

[endof_theline]

I only know two kids. They're pretty cool.

So you're a bounty hunter.

[courier5]

My primary occupation is messenger but seeing as you've got an intact postal system here I've had to branch out.

What do you aside from see a therapist?

[endof_theline]

How did it work where you're from?

I-- do some consultation work for the government.

[courier5]

If you need something sent from one place to another but can't trek the Wasteland yourself you hire someone like me to do it.

You sound like the rangers back home.

[endof_theline]

Like a courier. Where are you from?

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[courier5]

The strange doctor says an alternate reality where nuclear armageddon happened. Don't know about the former but the later is true enough.

Not so bad in my thinking. Them and the rest of the NCR did what it could to keep the trading routes open.

[endof_theline]

The whole alternate reality thing, huh. It's a real doozy. So. How'd you survive a nuclear armageddon?

Sounds like it's been rough.

[courier5]

Liable to lose my damn mind if I think about it too hard. By being born after it.

You always this keen on strangers?

[endof_theline]

How long ago did it happen?

Never. But your stubbornness reminds me of someone I used to be real close to, and I guess that makes me like it.

[courier5]

200 years or so before I was born. Suppose that means I'm living in the past now.

What happened to them?
