Those are the small hairpins, aren't they?
How many do you need?

[chipouttaluck]

yeah, same thing.
five'll probably work.

[imahologram]

I can give you mine, or you can buy some new ones. Whichever you'd prefer.

[chipouttaluck]

think they'd have them on the shopping place we're at?

[imahologram]

Probably.
They aren't the kind of hairpins I prefer, so I haven't been looking for them.

[chipouttaluck]

feels kinda weird paying for them in the first place.

[imahologram]

Then I can bring you some.
Meet me at the beach at noon tomorrow.

[chipouttaluck]

thanks, appreciate it.

[imahologram]

I'll be in the white swimsuit.

[And she is, her braids coiled around her head. She's waiting near the official entrance to the beach, a sizable bag at her feet.]

got it. big jacket with some medals on it over here.

[Hair's a mess of wire curls, but the jacket's there as promised. she's got a bag with a two-headed bear on it, too, and she'll be leaning on the nearest wall, looking around the boardwalk.]

[imahologram]

[When Leia thinks she's spotted the woman, she picks up her beach bag and heads over. There aren't too many people wearing full-on jackets to the beach, let alone jackets with medals on them.]

Surely? I've got some hairpins for you.

[chipouttaluck]

[For the record, no, she has no idea what these medals are even for. Came with the thing.]

Man, I seriously owe you one. [Thinking about it.] Don't know if I've got anything you'd want.

[imahologram]

You're new, aren't you?

[Surely Leia would recognize that irrepressible mane if she weren't.]

Don't worry about a trade. Just about everyone needs some things when they arrive.

[chipouttaluck]

[Nods.] Yeah, just got here. Name's Surely.

[Well, if she don't want it, she don't want it.] And alright, suit yourself. What kinda stuff goes missing, anyway?

[saidsarcastically]

I have two but I use them in my hair.

I'm willing to part with one.

[He needs it to keep his man-bun intact okay.]

[chipouttaluck]

huh. guess you can do that.

one's fine. want anything for it? i've got fancy lads.

[saidsarcastically]

Done and done.

[Fancy Lads.]

Unless, you wouldn't happen to have a box of Sugar Bombs on you?

[He already came in with a box but you can never have too many Sugar Bombs. He may have a problem.]

[chipouttaluck]

sorry, fresh out. got some nukas, though, if that works for you.

[saidsarcastically]

Huh.

Nuka works. Where do you want to make the trade?

[chipouttaluck]

beach work for you?

[saidsarcastically]

Beach is fine. I'll be the guy with the dog. [Oh wait there's at least one another that he's aware of.] With the normal looking dog.

[There we go.]

[chipouttaluck]

...what kind of normal lookin?

[saidsarcastically]

Not half cyborg or mutated?

[Though technically given the wasteland maybe he should consider the above normal?

Man apocalypse why you gotta make explaining even the simplest things difficult?]

[chipouttaluck]

ohhhh. okay, i gotcha.

[that's a very good question. too bad we don't know it.]

[thumbsdown]

might have some with me somewhere. know someone who carries a lot of them.

[chipouttaluck]

any little bit'll do.

you missing anything?

[thumbsdown]

could use more cigarettes if you've got them

[chipouttaluck]

don't know if i've got any. i'll look around.

[thumbsdown]

stimpaks would be good too. already got a feeling we'll need them

[chipouttaluck]

those i have. figure they're gonna run out fast, though.

[thumbsdown]

yeah, probably. still. if you got any spares, let me know.

[And after a brief pause-]

got some bobby pins here. not like i'm gonna use them, so you can have them if you want.

[chipouttaluck]

could spare a few, sure.

thanks, you're a pal. swing by to pick up/drop off later? or could go over there, your call.

[thumbsdown]

i'll head your way. need a walk anyway.

[chipouttaluck]

i'm over in nomo 2. later.

[that_cost]

I have a few. A box full, actually. They don't work in my hair, so you can have them.

Now that's what I'm talkin' about! You want anything for 'em?
