‡1st Treasure‡

[totallytrustworthy]

[The video feed sparks to life as Chloe taps repeatedly at the screen, offering the net a view of a woman with shoulder-length dark hair and bright eyes, wearing a stylish biking jacket and a few layers of leather necklaces with various little charms hanging from their ends. The city's skyline is visible behind her from a particularly high vantage point, and it's likely that she's found herself a resting place somewhere atop the roof of one of the taller buildings. She wiggles a few fingers lazily in greeting before speaking up with a distinctly Australian accent.]

Evening, everyone. Chloe here. New arrival, in case you haven't noticed. All right, somewhat new. Got dragged into this mess a few days ago and decided to take my time getting settled; never know what's out there if you don't bother to look first.

I was a treasure hunter back home-- one of the best in the business, I might add. Problem is I'm getting the impression that there's not much treasure to be found here on Alcatraz, and I'd prefer to stay sharp while things are relatively quiet. So here's the deal: if you need something of value-- for a price-- I'm more than happy to lend a well-trained hand and fetch it for you.

[She moves to shut the call down before adding, thoughtfully]

And in the meantime, if anyone out there knows a place that serves good drinks, I'm all ears. After all this I could sure as hell use one.

Gasoline. I need gasoline. I can't find it in the city. The cars that people use here appear to run on something different. [ what are electric vehicles, even ] What I have so far has been siphoned off wrecks on the roads further up north. Out of the city.

And it appears that Roslyn's already given you the comprehensive list of bars here. I would watch out for [ x, y, and z ] . They are not terribly fond of us.

[totallytrustworthy]

How much gasoline are we talking about here?

[stonefaith]

As much as possible. I can pay by the gallon.

[totallytrustworthy]

I think that can be arranged for the price of, say...fifty marques for every gallon recovered.

[stonefaith]

Ten gallons for an entire month's stipend? I'm afraid I can't do that. Twenty-five.

[totallytrustworthy]

Thirty.

[stonefaith]

Perhaps. How fast do you think you can deliver?

[totallytrustworthy]

A few days if things get complex, less with a little luck.

[stonefaith]

Thirty it is, then. Contact me once you've got it. I'll pay when you deliver.

[totallytrustworthy]

Not a problem. I'll be in touch.
