So, I don't suppose that clothing is a thing that's readily available here?

All I have is my armour, and I guess if the option is available, swapping that for a pair of jeans during downtime would be great.

[brodakota]

Well, I'd owe you one, so, what do you want?

[grawlixes]

Oh.

Uh.

I didn't think that far ahead.

[brodakota]

No worries.

We can start a tab, if that works.

[grawlixes]

Oh, yeah, a tab works.

I'll just have to remember to cash it in, so to speak.

[brodakota]

Well, I'll leave it hanging for now.

What's your name? So I know who I owe.

[grawlixes]

Uh, Kaine is my name.

What's yours? So I know who to run down when I need something.

[brodakota]

Nice to meet you Kaine. I'm North.

[grawlixes]

[ North? Like the direction, North? ]

[brodakota]

Sort of. Technically, it's short for North Dakota.

It's a code name.

[grawlixes]

The fuck kind of code name is that? No offensive, I’ve just never heard of that before.

[brodakota]

You wouldn't be the first to ask that question.

Don't suppose you've heard of the United States of America?

[grawlixes]

Nope.
Never.
I'm gonna guess it's a town or something?

[brodakota]

Country, actually.
North Dakota is one of the states. It was also the basis for the codename system for the project I worked for.

[grawlixes]

Now you’re talking nonsense to me, but, I guess other places have shit called ‘countries’ and ‘states’. Are they like towns or something?

[brodakota]

Sort of? But a lot bigger. Like, a State can have towns in it, and a Country can be divided into States.

[grawlixes]

Huh.
I guess that's one way to keep track of everything if it's a huge place.

[brodakota]

It's pretty big, yeah.

What's your world like?

[grawlixes]

Shitty. Sort of.

There are some nice spots, but it's mostly falling apart and there are small towns here and there.

[brodakota]

Falling apart how? If you don't mind me asking?

[grawlixes]

It's just in ruins. We're a dying race that got attacked quite often by... some monsters.

[brodakota]

Sorry to hear that.

Must be rough. I kinda know the feeling, surprisingly.

At least the getting attacked bit.

[grawlixes]

There are worst things in the world.

It isn't a big deal, not when we are here at least.

[brodakota]

I guess this place is kind of a reprieve from that?

[grawlixes]

Yeah.
I guess it kind of is.

[brodakota]

Well, you're not the only one with that feeling.
