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.

[throughbamboo]

this may come as a surprise to you, but that doesn't ease my concerns.

But as for your requests, I'll give you an honest consult: dynamite is a little more possible if i can find the base ingredients. if you can tell me how thick you think the wall is and how big the tunnel is, then that makes it easier and safer to set it off down there because the blast can be better controlled

Flamethrower is less likely, making the weapon wouldn't be impossible, but getting the fuel and propellant might be a problem plus, they're unwieldy and you would need additional equipment because flamethrowers suck the oxygen out of the air.

There's likely better options, but again that would depend on if you're using it as a preemptive measure or as a weapon in case of attack, and what you're expecting to run into
