[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.

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.]

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. )

[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.

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. ]
