Just a Passing Assassin...

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

Spiral: Are we really allowed to just have drones? Doesn’t sound legal.



???: They’re really more like orbitals honestly, not really a remote weapon or fully automated either. Things also have more of a scalding shot than real bullets. Hard to fit lead rounds when they're so tiny.



Steady: It’s a gun that just vibes.

???: Mm! Spot on. They come in pairs if you’d like!

Spiral: I guess I’ll take a pair. 



The mouse places down the two orbs...? Two orbs front of you.

???: These things are disabled until you make it to the field, can’t have you misfiring them in here.

Spiral: They’re small…

???: Have to be, need them to be easy to pocket. You’ll learn to appreciate that. Should give them a name I think, might be lucky.

Spiral: Red one can be Strider, and the white one is Gradius. 

???: You sure came up with those quick huh?

Spiral: They remind me of something from a game so…

???: You’d love the witches here, would get along just fine.

Two more choices left.

Spiral: I want the demiparry.

Steady: Hell yeah! You got good taste dude.



A big metal gauntlet and a smaller companion glove are placed in front of you. 

???: Honestly a good call for a beginner like you. Thing saves your bacon in a pinch and you need to a bit of a safety net when getting used to jobs like this. 

???: Granted you’ll still get knocked on your ass a lot. Occupational hazard.



Steady: Yeah. I mean I can give you the old sana, sana. 



Spiral: The what?

Steady: Sana Sana, colita de rana?



???: Don’t think invoking the frog’s tail is gonna do much…

Steady: Hehe…

One last pick.

Spiral: Hand me the Checkpoint. Got the sense it’s going to be handy.

???: Mm, honestly I would’ve picked that too. If someone managed to die in a way where they aren’t respawning, you might run into trouble where you’ll need to bail. 

Steady: Yeah… praying it’s just an error and we can bring the body back.

???: Word of advice, just grab the head and run to safety if possible. Priority with that quest of yours is to save the target. Finding out who did it is optional. 

A pair of knives are placed down in front of you along with a trigger.



???: Would also advise taking up a second contract. Getting multiple jobs done a day will net you a bonus. Also if the first quest falls apart? Grab some pay with a plan B. 

???: My two cents.


You look at your contracts again.
