“i’m trying to stay optimistic, as hard as it is. i wish we’d just take care of it already.”

“yeah, shit. i don’t know what they’re doin’ anymore. fuck all. heard whispers it’s too much money — shocker.”

there’s a long pause, rummaging through the pockets of his coat for a pack of cigarettes.

“though it’s just a rumor. maybe they’ll be smart.”

a shrug, offering a cigarette. +

/ sorry for disappearing lolzor

unfortunately the writing ive done over the past few days was during medical emergency and uhhh yay hospital im fine though writing resumes as programmed

“i hope they don’t give up on it, though. i’d like to get a shot on ‘em just as much.”

“i’d say it’s fifty-fifty.” a shrug, gaze flickering over to the other man. “heard whispers that they’re thinkin’ about letting it go so they can put those resources into “more pressing matters,” but i can’t figure out what that’d be.”

a sigh, adjusting the rifle on his shoulder. +

[ pausing. very clearly deep in thought. then, just bursting into tears. ]

true. you can probably tell how little gambling i’ve done.

that’s exactly by what i mean by a break, though.

well, it’s gotta balance out somehow, i guess.

we could, i think. might be a nice break from the military, y’know?

. . . even if i know fuck all about gambling.

really?

that’s . . . really impressive.

wouldn’t hurt to learn, i don’t suppose.

true, i guess.

i’ve never really done anything like that, though.

it sure is.

i would be more inclined if the exchange rate was better!

it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
