[He's getting good at this, the phone is held steady against a table and Vasquez is centred in the frame of a new location, where a sign behind him reads SON OF A GUN. To say that Vasquez looks happy is underselling it, mainly because he's finally in his element.]

Hola, everyone. For a limited time only, we're going to run a special here at the gun range. You come down and have a class with the new instructor, me, and maybe I'll show you a few tricks.

[One of them he shows off with proud ease, spinning both guns in perfect synchronicity even as he keeps his gaze fixated on the camera.]

Just come down, ask for Vasquez. I'll even see if they'll let you have ten percent off, maybe, but only if you tip very nicely.

I hope I get more than ten percent off.

[ She's (mostly) kidding. ]

[quinientos]

What if I gave you the first session free, but then you give me a very good recommendation to paying friends?

[angelpants]

What if I give you the first session free?

[ Now, she's really teasing him. ]

[quinientos]

Now, I think, maybe we are talking about things that will get me in trouble.

You wouldn't do that, of course, would you?

[angelpants]

I would never!

I'm just teasing cuz I'm already a pretty good shot.

[quinientos]

Maybe you should come and prove it to me.

Or maybe we have a competition?

[angelpants]

Only if you want to lose.

[ She's mostly joking, but hey she might be a better shot than he is. ]

[quinientos]

I don't know, how many men have you shot in the last six months? I might have you beat on this.

[angelpants]

Hey now, I didn't think we were talking about men.

Just who is the better shot.

[quinientos]

What's the point of shooting if you're not being so accurate that you can stop a man in his heart?

What are you shooting at?

[angelpants]

You know...cans and stuff. I'd shoot a man if I had to.

[ Or you know, revenants. But he doesn't need to know about that. ]

[quinientos]

It sounds like you can come down and shoot at a man-sized target, then. It can't hurt anyone, maybe except for the papers?

[angelpants]

I mean, if you insist.

video.

[dedikated]

This what you ended up doing?

( Get it, V. She's impressed. )

[quinientos]

It's good, yes? They even let me shoot my guns without clucking their tongues at me, and some people even look impressed.

[Of course, he has to go through belittling safety courses, things he's known for ages, but if he has to prove this to teach, then he will.]

[dedikated]

Better than my job.

( She didn't try to find a teaching job. She's regretting that right now. Fucking about with throwing knives sounds more fun than selling dildos. )

[quinientos]

What are you doing now?

[He only knows it's not the firing range, since he hasn't seen her there, but truthfully, he maybe also hasn't been paying attention much, which is bad of him.]

[dedikated]

( Hold up, she's just going to flip the camera around...

Enjoy the, ahem, walls of sex toys and dildo displays. )

Retail.

( Katherine. )

[quinientos]

[Vasquez doesn't reply. He takes a very long minute to study what she's shown him, his eyes wide with the glimmer of possibility because he has never seen such things outside of one or two strange towns where one or two people have odd hobbies.]

You sell those things? People buy them?

[dedikated]

( Look, if there's one thing you can count on, it's that people enjoy sex and therefore need to make it kinkier.

There's nothing wrong with a good strap-on or some restraints. )

Aye. ( To both. ) Pay's decent, all that really matters.

[quinientos]

[He holds up his hands, not judging so much as terribly amused, sniggering a little under his breath.]

I bet you learn all sorts of things about people, doing this.

[dedikated]

( You know, even Kate can't stay stony faced at that. She huffs out a laugh because damn is it true. )

Learn a few things about yourself, too.

( C o u g h s )

[quinientos]

Do they have a special purchase plan for the employees, then?

[ He keeps his face straight as he asks it, but the glimmer in his eyes gives him away. ]

[glaza]

Not bad. Who taught you?

If you don't mind me asking.

[quinientos]

Taught myself. There's plenty of time to learn where I come from.

Not to mention, if you don't learn, you put yourself in danger.
