Hey, at least you've got one, man. I still don't have one.

I know a few people you can buy one from, too, that'll give you a good deal. And yeah, sure. I just wrapped up a case, so the next week or so will be all paperwork and reports involving it. I can always use a break from those.

[allinvein]

Aw, c'mon, Nick. I'm sure you got something. :)

Anyway, thanks in advance for the help, and fair warning: I'm probably going to ask you to just come with me to purchase this thing. I might know how to use a gun now, but I'm not entirely sure I won't get myself ripped off for something I don't need.

[detectivetroll]

Something, sure, but I haven't figured out if it's useful or not, yet.

No problem, man, I don't mind coming along. I've never dealt in rifles before, but I've bought a few handguns from them.

[allinvein]

What is it, if you don't mind me asking?

Brilliant. Thanks. :) So when is good for you a week from now? I tend to be booked Friday nights, but if that's the only day you're available, I can make an exception.

[detectivetroll]

Just a lot of memories. I guess they're memories, anyway. And being able to tell when people aren't human. Sort of.

I'm a homicide detective, I'm pretty much always on call. But theoretically I have weekends and weeknights free, so any time then.

[allinvein]

Sort of? As in you're not very sure in your ability or... ?

I'll swing by your station for the paperwork first, and we can go from there, yeah? Maybe sometime next week?

[detectivetroll]

Not very sure of it. I can't figure out how it works, at least not yet. It's just something that happens.

Sounds good. Just text me with a heads up.

[allinvein]

I could help you practice?

[Uh. Somehow?]

Will do. Thanks in advance.

[detectivetroll]

Unless you know a lot of people who aren't human, man, I'm not sure how.

[allinvein]

We could go to a park. Try to pick out people. Sort out auras or something?

[Never mind the fact that they'd have no way to tell if they are right or not...]

[detectivetroll]

I'd say it's worth a try, but I'm not sure I want to be the creepy guy hanging out in a park and staring at people.

[allinvein]

We'll be fine! Just make sure you don't stare too hard at one person for too long, yeah?

And you can start with me. Get a feel for the abnormal so the others will be easier to pick out.

[detectivetroll]

You know, why not. It can't hurt. We can give it a go when we meet up to get you that rifle.

[allinvein]

Brilliant! I'll stare at people right alongside you so it won't seem so strange. :)

[This is probably going to be more detrimental than helpful in the grand scheme of things, but hey, Nick won't be the only one who looks weird?]

[detectivetroll]

The best kind of friendship is being willing to look like a creeper right alongside someone.

[Probably, but it's making Nick grin, so that's good enough for him.]

[allinvein]

Now you understand the depth of my friendship. ;)
