This guy's a reliable source?

[his cube makes a little "kinda" gesture]

He is a demon. Not one from here, so that is something to keep in mind.

But I don't think he would lie about something like this.

[ his cube makes a face at the demon thing, but ]

Would it kill him to be a little less cryptic? [ audible sigh. ] I'll keep it in mind. Never hurts to be prepared - you get anything else off of him about it though?

That's how I feel about it - cryptic or not, he didn't have to say anything.

[he shakes his head]

Just that I'm lucky he said anything at all.

[a beat] Do you have a weapon?

Really hate that you felt the need to ask that, you know?

[ sounds like shit might get real. his cube nods a little though. ]

But yeah, a gun and a couple of knives. I'll keep 'em on me for now just in case.

Heh, I'm just checking. Hopefully for no reason at all and I'm gonna look like a paranoid ass later.

I get it, I get it, I do. I'm definitely someone who leans in that direction.

I'm glad you do.

Really hate it when this place makes me feel like I'm being thrown into the middle of a mission.

A mission?

Mmm. Zombies, bioterrorism, shit like that - that's the kind of work I do, taking care of that.

"Government agent" is . . . not wrong, but a gross understatement.

Um... wow. Seriously?

[ zombies is out there but then again they were just talking about demons, so-- ]

Like. Protect and Serve kind of stuff, huh?

[ that is the part that is more, uh. concerning on some level for a man who. well. ]

[with a wry look]

Funny you use those words, because I was a cop, too. Only for a day, though.

H--how does someone only be a cop for one day?

Aha . . . there was an outbreak in the city I was assigned to. When I went to report in, I drove right into the middle of it.

Holy shit, dude...

Yeah. And that led to getting this job, so - only a cop for a day.

Weird, fucked up, but valid career path I guess.

Hah, it's not as simple as I make it sound, but that's a conversation over a strong drink.

[. . .]

Don't know what you did back home, but I have this feeling it isn't military or along those lines. Just so you know, I don't care what it is. [he smiles a bit] Kind of familiar with the "oh shit, a cop" look since I get it all the time.

Well, if you do wanna talk about it, I'll take a drink anytime, so there's that.

As for me, well, maybe that's a talk to have over a drink too. I don't think people here would care much either, but it's still kind of...

Heh, then we can talk over a drink or two. [or more than that. Probably more than that]

Don't worry, I get it. You're right, no one will care, but it's hard not to think they might when that's what you're used to, yeah?

Kinda like that. I don't have a traditional job or anything, so it's a little hard to explain.

That kind of tells me plenty already.

I'm sure I have no idea what you mean.

[he looks amused]

Uh huh.

I'll take guesses when we sit down to drink.
