With everyone settled back in, I think it's time we go on a hunting trip together.

Anyone who's interested, let me know. I'm thinking we can move out in the next couple of days or so.

[ He'll also be gathering seeds to plant... but he doesn't want anyone to think they might have to stay here through the spring. ]

[ OoC: Will be affected by hallucinations, drop me a line on PM if you want to set something up and we haven't already discussed it! ]

How about when we get back? Where are you from?

[shesamarshmallow]

Back? Back where?

[ Because he can't possibly mean back home. ]

[pursuitofcappiness]

...Before getting to the Cape?

[shesamarshmallow]

Oh. [She'd been afraid he'd meant that.]

Neptune, California. I don't think anybody's heard of it, other than that murder and everything. Ever hear of Lilly Kane?

[pursuitofcappiness]

No, but I don't think that I've been around long enough to know who she is.

But I guess there must be ponies out there. If we get home, I swear I'll help you find one.

[shesamarshmallow]

[She's quiet for several moments.]

Holy crap. I almost actually believed that.

[pursuitofcappiness]

...What do you mean?

[shesamarshmallow]

Well, you almost had me believing you'd track me down back home and give me a pony.

[pursuitofcappiness]

...You think I wouldn't?

[shesamarshmallow]

I don't think you could, cowboy. I saw your spangly suit, and I know you aren't from my neck of the woods.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I think if I were a cowboy, I'd be able to wrangle you up a pony pretty fast.

[shesamarshmallow]

How do I get the feeling that I'm not going to get much past you there, Tex?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well, you did call me a cowboy. I'm uh, not, if it's any help.

[shesamarshmallow]

Of course not. You're a pony-wrangler.

But if you don't want to own up to it yet, what do you do, pardner?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Captain of the United States' army. You?

[shesamarshmallow]

[Well. That... had been unexpected.]

I'm a junior private investigator. But one day I hope to be a major private investigator.

[Ba-dum tish. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand crap. She hopes he doesn't notice the dirty take on that.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

I didn't even know those came in ranks. Do you work with a firm?

[shesamarshmallow]

[She can't decide if he's being adorable or just thick.]

My dad has a firm. I help him out. Or... I did. He made me get a real job after I got into some trouble with a murderer. [She rolls her eyes.] He can be overprotective.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I... can't say I blame him. What kind of trouble?

[shesamarshmallow]

The... nearly-murdered kind?

[After all, it hadn't been any sort of secret back home. She doesn't mind if people know here.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

...Yeah, I think I see why he wouldn't like that. Let's... try and keep that from happening here.

[shesamarshmallow]

Yeah, no offense, but I think the "trying" is going to be kind of limited.

[pursuitofcappiness]

As far as I know, no one's died yet.
