Who wants to help me settle a bet? I've got two questions if you do.

One - do you have an expression where you're from that goes "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades"?

And two - what the hell do horseshoes and hand grenades have to do with each other anyway?

private to seifer and nida.

So we never went camping, back in the village.

[that's. pathetic, but it's the best he can do for offering an olive branch to his brothers.]

[scathefires]

No ... people make 'em for the animals. Do that they do that where you're from?

[can you hear him dragging his hand down his face. can you.]

I can help if you want me to. Just - y'know, ask.

[firacrux]

'Course not, how would they do that? 'Sides, pretty sure they don't usually need 'em.

[Hahah, yes, he can feel it too. You're welcome, Jason.]

Seriously, I got it under control. If you spot anything good layin' around though let me know.

[scathefires]

Anything good like a generator, y'mean? Or is there something else you have in mind?

[firacrux]

Generator, scrap metal, tools someone's trying to offload. Anything useful really.

[scathefires]

OK ... I'll keep my eyes peeled. Is there a specific reason you're looking to scavenge for stuff instead of just buying it? We're not in the Village anymore, y'know.

[firacrux]

Recycling.

[Okay no that's just his excuse for all of this.]

That and it's more fun this way.

[This is true.]

[scathefires]

[jason laughs.]

You’re not wrong. Maybe you and me can go on a scavenger hunt sometime.

[firacrux]

[!! Jason can't see it, but Seifer's positively elated at the prospect.]

Hell yeah! I'd love that.

[He just likes excuses to hang out with his brothers, and he needs some bonding time with Jason.]

[scathefires]

[yes. yes they do need to bond more. how better to do that than via possibly less than legal activities?]

Cool. I'll give you a buzz.

[firacrux]

[Exactly! It's the best kind of bonding, the kind that gets everyone's hands a little dirty. Jason loves causing trouble Seifer knew this would be up his alley.]

You know where to find me.
