002 Audio - The One Where Mike Tries To Barter

So...okay. Here's the thing. I can live frugal. I'm good at living frugal. There are fewer people out there who can dumpster dive as efficiently as I can. Trust me, my stone soup? Is amazing. I can make a Reclaimed Tuna Casserole Surprise that will knock your socks off.

As awesome as I am, even I can't make something from literally nothing, which is kind of what I've got at the moment. I say kind of because I have a whole bunch of little pots of home-made Floating Fruit preserves, jams, and jellies, and now that I'm officially out of money, I'm looking to trade them for...anything edible that isn't floating fruit. I've had my fill, thanks.

So, anyone out there interesting in jam for say...chocolate?
Or jam for bread?
Or jam for...seriously, anything.

For serious?

Of course! Jam is sweet and I love sweets. You can have all this other shit I'm not going to eat.

When you say other shit...what do you mean?

Like vegetables and crap like that. I'm keeping all my chocolate though so don't even bother asking.

How is it that everyone got chocolate but me?! How is that a possible thing?

I don't know, maybe you're just lame?

So are we going to trade or what?

All things are possible.

Cut the fortune cookie bullshit, I want my jam.

[Mike is taken aback by the salty language.]

Okay, how seriously twitchy are you right now?

[ Oh Mike, she hasn't even gotten started yet. ]

I haven't reached for my swords yet, if that's what you're asking.

[Car! There's a car coming! Please hold the game while the car drives by.]

You have swords? What kind?

[ Congrats Mike, you successfully derailed her being an ass. ]

... they're like katanas, why?

Oh no way!
Have you been training with them long?

[ blink. blink blink. ]

Yes, since I was little. Are you gonna tell me what this is about?

I just haven't met a whole lot of people who've studied, that's all.

Well mine are Heavenly weapons, thank you very much.

[ a beat, and then since she's curious ]

But who else do you know who use them?

My brothers mostly. Well, them and the rival clan across town.

Oh yeah? Where'd they learn? Your brothers, I mean.

Our father. Who learned from his master, and so on.

Huh. That sounds... kind of nice.

...not so much in your experience, huh?

Angels start out knowing how to use their Heavenly Weapons, you just get better with practice. It's not really learning.

I'm sorry...did you just say you're an angel?

Please don't tell me you're another person who's going to be stuck on that concept.

I'll make you a deal.
If you don't get stuck on the idea that I'm a mutant turtle, I won't get stuck on the idea that you're an angel.
