Now that we're getting all cozy and settled in here, it has occurred to me that I'm without some of my kit from back home, and I'm starting to feel a little naked without it.

I'm thinking of doing a little DIY to rectify that, so if anyone would be a dear and is willing to part with:

- windshield wipers
- hose clamps
- old brassieres (underwire only)
- a propane torch
- pliers
- a grinder

I'd be grateful and maybe even inclined to owe you a favour.

EDIT:

A GUN WOULD BE NICE TOO :)))

Oh no, go ahead, and when your skinny arse gets hauled off by the space police when there's a break in don't say I didn't warn you.

[flynnitomite]

skinny arse?? i'm offended, i work out

[nicearsenal]

And? Your arse is still skinny. Must be slacking on the squats.

[flynnitomite]

not all of us can be so blessed as you ok

[nicearsenal]

why thank you Harry that's sweet of you to say so

[flynnitomite]

not even trying to be complimentary, just stating a fact

[nicearsenal]

Nice to see you straight talking for a change

[flynnitomite]

i do it from time to time. you should try it

[In case there was any doubt over whether or not he's still smarting over being side dick.]

[nicearsenal]

what, and lose this nice feminine mystique angle I have going for me? No ta.

[Not even side dick, really. More like temporary dick. Mostly professional dick.]

[flynnitomite]

[Like the millenial job market, but for dick. Wow, that's harsh.]

it is your stock-in-trade, isn't it

[nicearsenal]

[Well at least he's not a hipster dick, he's got that going for him.]

Well you know what they say: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It'd be boring if you knew exactly what I was thinking all the time.

[flynnitomite]

oh i think you made it abundantly clear

[nicearsenal]

you can say whatever else about me you like, but at least there's never a dull moment with me

[flynnitomite]

[[wow gmail thanks for the notif]]

i can't deny that

[nicearsenal]

[[boo gmail you suck]]

[there's a bit of a wait before the next reply, then:]

At least you're settling in then?

[awkward small talk what is that]

[flynnitomite]

yeah you know, as well as one can I suppose

[nicearsenal]

Good to see you're keeping busy though

[flynnitomite]

oh i'm sure you've been *keeping busy* too

[nicearsenal]

And what is *that* supposed to mean?

[flynnitomite]

you're a smart girl i'm sure you can figure it out

[nicearsenal]

Enlighten me.

[flynnitomite]

been running around with Drake's space friends for side dick until he manages to screw over the little blonde thing he's so fond of?

[Well, she asked]

[nicearsenal]

Oh wow. That's. That's actually hilarious.

Grow up Harry.

[flynnitomite]

[No it wasn't hilarious, it was mean and she was supposed to tell him to go to hell so he could say 'see you there' and get in the last word and feel good about himself but noooo Harry Flynn can't even have that, can he? He mashes out a few one-word insults and deletes them.]

funny you say that, i think i'm a lot wiser in the ways of the world now

[nicearsenal]

[Chloe takes a few moments to glare at that, squash down her anger, and then carefully type out her response.]

Yeah? Well I don't see much of a difference. You're still a shitty judge of character as far as I can tell.
