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?

[endof_theline]

But are you still in your universe now, or an alternate one?

He left.

[courier5]

Hard to say. Never lived in the before time, the pre-war books I've seen makes me think this place isn't so different.

We get a lot of that in the Wasteland too, people leaving that is.

[endof_theline]

Did you wanna come back here?

Off to find a better life?

[courier5]

Don't think so. Didn't spend much time thinking about a place that was long gone before I started drawing breath.

[and she's not used to the edges of this place, isn't sure what to make of her daily needs being met so easily or the near constant stream of people who seem to be everywhere all the time]

Sometimes.

[endof_theline]

How'd you get here?

Yeah. Well I hope they find it. I hope he found it too.
