‡ 5th treasure‡ Video

[Chloe--long time no see, network-- is settled down in a dimly lit bit of local architecture. At least it looks that way at first glance; Initiative buildings are usually a touch more pristine, and one hell of a lot more futuristic.]

Evening lads and ladies. Given the way things've been going lately between our sort and the locals, there's no doubt that finding what we need to get by isn't exactly an easy venture. Then again, when everything around here is coated in a couple hundred years of grit, it wasn't all that easy to begin with. [A small, thoughtful little beat. Drummed out on a table too low to see.] Or worth it for that matter.

Which is why after a lengthy hiatus, I'm pleased to announce that my item retrieval service is back up and running-- with a few minor adjustments.

[The camera shifts, dipping slightly as whoever’s holding the tablet shifts their hands. The cameraman in question hisses at her, clearly trying and failing to be discreet:] Oi, your retrieval service?

Well it was mine first. The next time you wind up in an alien future before the rest of us you can go start your own bloody business.

Fine, alright. Go on then. [And the camera shifts up again, less steady than before.]

--Right. So as I was saying. For those of you that need something-- anything-- found or picked up or even gently borrowed from a few bygone eras, Frazer and Cutter's Acquisitions and Fine Antiques is here to manage it for you. For a few nominal fees of course, and with much less glaring than what you’ll find around here.

Trust me, with the sort of luck the Initiative’s been having, you’ll want a pair of professionals on your side.


**Charlie Cutter is in red and the pair of them are more than happy to respond to any incoming inquiries or requests!
captains: (Now be a good girl)

You're kidding.

[He's laughing so hard, oh my god. You're his favourite people, hands down]
alittlesweptup: (nice goin' champ)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-25 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Bit late for an April Fool's joke, mate. [Right? Eh? That was a clever quip, wasn't it?]
captains: (In your prayers)

[personal profile] captains 2013-08-26 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I have faith in your ability to pull it off. [Yes, Charlie. It was]
alittlesweptup: (so then I told him--)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-27 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh good. Couldn't be looking foolish, now could he?]

That's sweet, mate. [Charlie flashes a winning smile.] But no, no joke.
captains: (Now be a good girl)

[personal profile] captains 2013-08-27 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
You know me, Cutter. I'm all but made right out of sugar.

[He's still terribly amused] In that case, consider me offended if I'm not at the very top of your client list.

[And if you don't attempt to liberate him of a few of his possessions at least once :[]
alittlesweptup: (oic)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-27 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, don't think I've received a requisitions request from you yet, sir. [Steal from Captain Kirk? That seems like some kind of blasphemy, even if it is J.J. Abrahms Reboot Kirk.]

But if you file one, I'll see if I can't talk my partner into cutting you a bit of a discount.
captains: (I hope you never pretend for me)

[personal profile] captains 2013-08-27 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't worry. You will. A long list of them.

[He'll be nice, even. At least five of them will be actual items. If you really loved him Charlie, you would steal from him] Discount isn't necessary- But I'll take it if you're offering.
alittlesweptup: (invisible oven mitt)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-27 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Well if it's not necessary, then forget it. [What's he look like? A complete idiot?]
captains: (Fate always loses hold)

[personal profile] captains 2013-08-27 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be a terrible friend if I let you start out your business any other way.

[p.s. his discounts a free beer] What kind of antiques?
alittlesweptup: (no shit sherlock)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-27 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Lamps. Lots of lamps, mostly.

[Okay, now he is kidding.]
captains: (I hope you remember me)

[personal profile] captains 2013-08-27 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Anything in pink?

[That's what old people like, right?] I was hoping for something that'd make a little noise.
alittlesweptup: (serious profiles for serious people)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-27 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns, making a low noise as he mulls it over.] Not sure - I'd have to check the stockroom.
captains: (Like electric sparks in my heart)

[personal profile] captains 2013-08-27 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing from your time period, either. It's not as interesting, as some of the other antiques. [But he likes your guns, those can stay. And some of your literature]
alittlesweptup: (now hold on a gosh darn minute)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-28 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, whoa, whoa-- [Charlie's hand pops up defensively.] Are you saying the early 21st century was a bad time for lamps? Because we perfected the clap light, mate.
captains: (Now be a good girl)

[personal profile] captains 2013-08-29 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's lacking in seashells.

[God Charlie, if you're going to go with boring items, you have to make them hideous too- or it's not worth it. A beat] But let me know, on the noise maker, alright?
alittlesweptup: (I think I'm adorable)

[personal profile] alittlesweptup 2013-08-29 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[If he wants seashells, all he had to say was seashells. Don't make things difficult, Kirk.

Charlie gives him a fauz salute, grin sliding back into place.]
You got it, captain.
