o hai mia

[magnets]

Trade: Well, the thing is that the first pack is generally free, it's the great thing with working with smokers; they take pity on smokers when they've got the stock for it. Mia gets one tossed to her, sit down, smoke with Jesse, let's talk a second. Because are you sure about this machete deal? Weapons aren't so difficult to come by here but they're usually makeshift as all hell. What a nice one to be giving up.

Tell him more about this source first too, what kind of information are we talking here?

[detoxes]

Oh god she hasn't had a cigarette in over a week (maybe even longer??), so lighting up and taking that first drag is amazing - even though it tastes the teensiest bit stale.

Give her a minute. She needs to indulge.

...Okay. She's pretty sure about the machete deal (even if she looks 150% reluctant - what a terrible liar she is), since she has nothing else. This is a key factor here. Supply-wise, she is poor. So poor. (And possibly pouting over it. Look how cute she is. Doesn't she make you feel bad??)

Her information source - he's a pretty touchy subject. He's given her life-saving tips regarding the monsters and things in this place. He's a really nice guy, and for some reason? He always wants to help her. She trusts him a lot now - that's why she's going to protect his identity as much as she can.

Also wow - you guys have empty notebooks don't you?? And pencils and pens?? Ugh. Such a mighty need.

[magnets]

Plenty bad, but there's a difference between feeling bad and running a charity, the latter of which he does not and really can't afford to here. Jackets are gonna be a hot commodity in record time, how cold it's been getting. Much as he wants her to be safe, he doesn't exactly want her to catch hypothermia either.

Like he's probably going to.

We've got notebooks, we've got plenty of pens, the school was a good raid, sure, and maybe Jesse's philanthropist side will get the better of him before the day's out, but for now, all you've got's a machete, doll. Nice a machete as it is. The coat, it'll cover. A couple packs, he's thinking, and definitely a lighter — they're stingy sometimes, they're not cruel. And hey, he likes Mia, so he's more than willing to make the trade if she wants to.

But maybe we can work something out. This source of yours, what's he got to gain from hiding anyway? What kind of information could we be getting out of him, if not just information on the monsters? Could potentially save lives, but that's only if it's good information. Has he been right so far?

[detoxes]

Yeah but she's really cute. And pouty.

No? Not gonna work?

Okay.

Maybe next time she'll get lucky.

For the meanwhile - negotiations. Right.

She's definitely close to giving up her weapon if he doesn't budge. She'll definitely regret this move at a later date - since machetes don't exactly grow on trees.

She doesn't know a lot about her information source - only that he contacts her (and she contacts him) every once in a while. His tips have been incredibly helpful so far, and she truly trusts him. He probably knows more, but like she said - she doesn't really pry. She just trusts him.

What else would Jesse want?

[magnets]

Sorry, Mia. He's a hard salesman to budge.

How's this sound: The machete for the coat and a half a box of cigarettes; that's five cartons. Obviously the lighter. You get them something helpful from your source, maybe you can get one of those journals you've been eyeing so much. Continued service, hell, you might even get your machete back.

Until then, if you're sure, make sure you stick it safe. Find a wooden plan to slam somebody's head with if you've gotta. Stick with someone who knows what they're doing, don't go it alone. Got it?

[detoxes]

She thinks about it.

And she thinks about it some more.

She's definitely between a rock and a hard place.

It's not like she has anything else to offer - aside from her herself. And she really doesn't want to resort to that sort of thing anymore.

Fine. Okay. She'll do it. And as soon as she gets more information, she'll let Jesse know. She fucking promises.

[magnets]

She doesn't have to. He's not so much in that game anymore anyway, not when it's not his shit to offer up for it. Not when he's gotten accustomed to being fucked by someone who wants to fuck him, not just because it's some kind of favor.

But it's a done deal, what she has put on the table. Hey, her source is any good, it could pay up in full for her at the end of things. This place, good information's as good of a trade as anything.

And keep safe, alright? Don't make him have to haunt your ass just so he knows you're not wandering around unprotected out there.

[detoxes]

She says thank you. It's the polite thing to do. Sure, she's got more supplies, but she's walking out of there down one weapon. She assures him she'll be fine. She'll find something else, she's sure of it. And she'll keep in touch - just in case.
