Damned thing.
Ah. There.

[To say that Sebastian Moran is still figuring out how his bracelet works beyond the most basic of functions would be kind. Still, he's managing a video feed decently, even if it's a bit unsteady since he's holding his arm to position the bracelet with no idea how to fix the position of the feed device.

Still. A for effort.]

Now.

You'll pardon the interruption, I hope. Jus' got t' wonderin' 'bout somethin'.

I understand, of course, that things in this city cost. Everythin' does, after all. One way or another.

Wot I'm wonderin', y'see, is whether these "gods" can -- for somethin' of equal value, even like a favour -- bring something of personal value. Like they brought all of us.

I'd be grateful, certainly, if anyone could tell me.

Ain't worth doin' deals with gods.

To you, perhaps.

[Of course this guy is going to be difficult. But that's just how it always is, isn't it?]

Look, I'm sure whatever it is you're wantin' is somethin' you consider worth it. And maybe whatever the gods ask for in return don't seem so bad. But you ain't gonna know 'til it's too late.

[Speaking from experience? Yep.]

Or maybe you're thinkin' you can outsmart these assholes. But so far? They got the upperhand, and they ain't showin' themselves to be trustworthy, and we've been through plenty of bullshit since they dragged our asses here.

I never intended tryin' t' outsmart 'em.

Just want one thing from where I'm from, an' I'm willin' t' offer 'em somethin' in exchange.

Yeah? What're you willin' to offer?

Depends wot they consider worth it. Not opposed t' negotiation.

Not impossible, but doubtful, in my experience. What are you after?

[Okay, so the reply takes about ten minutes. Because he's fiddling with the settings. It's easier to start a call private, he's found, but. Eventually, he gets it to work.]

Lookin' to get my gun.

Custom rifle, designed and built by some of the best. Sadly no longer able t' give the world use of their genius. [Because, well, a certain someone had seen them killed so they couldn't replicate the machine.]

[Moran could help, but...he really doesn't to. You have to learn somehow, pal, just like he did.]

You were brought here unarmed? [That's horrible, completely sacrilegious, and...] Disgusting. [It's the only word he really has to describe it, particularly if this gentleman is mean to be him.]

If they didn't have the decency to bring you here with a gun in the first place, I wouldn't expect 'em to be of much help. Right lot of sodding bastards, they are. Try to do some gentlemanly reasoning with 'em and you end up worse off than you did before.

Came with one weapon, but only one shot for it, an' I don' expect it'll be easy to reload. Lookin' to buy bullets for it once I have a bit more funds. It'll take 'em, thank God. Not ideal, better for somethin' modified custom, but better than bein' completely without.

[It's more than just having a gun, though. More than having his custom gun, too. It's about having the gun the professor had made specifically for him. Designed with his skills and job in mind. More than just a rifle...

But, well. That borders on sentiment. Sure, practical use, but he knows that's not the only reason he wants it. So he won't touch much on the subject.]

That depends entirely on what you're looking for, I suppose. So?

Personal possession that didn' come with me here. I'd like t' get it back.

More than likely you're out of luck. I've been here a while and they've still yet to return things of mine. I suppose you could check the bank though if you feel like wasting time. They might be holding something there.

They sure can! A friend of a friend got his lion back, and then when the owner went home I got to take care of Sinbad and train him! Neat, huh?

Now. If y' don' mind my askin', wot did he have t' do t' get that?

It's veeeery rare. I think sometimes after a big event happens you can get something back from home.

...Oh yeah, every once in a while there are parties or competitions. That's what I'm talking about. [ She pauses, looking downcast. ] Or something worse.
