Quote for a flamethrower? Or dynamite. Either will do.

[throughbamboo]

why?

[causeplay]

Exploration.

[throughbamboo]

what the Hell are you exploring that you need a flamethrower

[causeplay]

Does your phone really autocapitalize "hell"?

[throughbamboo]

I thought I turned that off.

Anyway, what are you exploring that you need a flamethrower

[causeplay]

The subway. Maybe. If a more enticing option manifests in the near future, then that.

[throughbamboo]

That implies the subway is enticing and i don't know about that.

[causeplay]

Different strokes for different folks. Why, are you worried?

[throughbamboo]

Yes.

[causeplay]

About me or the subway?

[throughbamboo]

You.

why the fuck would I care about the subway?

[causeplay]

I wouldn't want to fucking assume.

[throughbamboo]

sorry. but that is something you can assume

Dynamite in there would be too dangerous, dumb magical subway tunnel or not.

[causeplay]

I assume that raises your asking price.

[throughbamboo]

[she can probably imagine the sigh]

we'll see.

What are you expecting to encounter in there?

[causeplay]

[ it is a mystery ]

Monsters. Hidden passageways. N*rnia.

[throughbamboo]

so you have no idea.

[causeplay]

Reasonable assumption, but inaccurate.

[throughbamboo]

kind of accurate, when N*rnia is one of your answers.

[causeplay]

You've heard of client confidentiality, yes?

[throughbamboo]

Of course i have.

[causeplay]

So you'll understand when I say there are some things I can't tell you.

You've already made it clear that you're not worried about the subway.

[throughbamboo]

yeah, I'm worried about what the subway might do to you.

You have a client?

[causeplay]

I do, yes.

If you don't wish to part with your supplies, that's fine. But I can assure you that I'll come back intact. I haven't survived this long by luck, you know.
