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 :)))

[[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.

[flynnitomite]

i'll give you that, i am still taking to you after all

[nicearsenal]

So how's this going to end, I don't have any grenades to get you out of this one.

[flynnitomite]

how did you expect it to end? me winking and laughing while you rode off into the sunset with wonder boy?

[nicearsenal]

I didn't think you were going to turn into Lazarevic's poodle to the very end

[flynnitomite]

well i didn't think the horse I backed would turn on me

seems to be a running problem for me

[nicearsenal]

Face it Harry, you got in over your head and when you couldn't blag your way out of it you rolled over and showed him your belly and any chance you ever had to get away rolled right over with you.

Whatever you might think about Nate, even after you dicked him over and went running off to Lazarevic, he never wanted to see you dead. So yeah, *excellent* judgement Harry. Excellent.

[flynnitomite]

[Well son of a bitch that one hurts. It's the textual equivalent of getting sea water in a paper cut—a particularly stinging reminder of a wound you'd rather have forgotten. It's a lot easier to be shot at or punched in the face.]

if he'd known well enough to leave alone and if you didn't help him, it wouldn't have come to that. you two kept throwing grease on the fire

[It's the best he can do to save face.]

[nicearsenal]

Better grease than a grenade, but you'd know all about that wouldn't you?

[He's poked a hornet's nest and the stingers are out.]

It's not like you didn't tip your share of fuel on the fire with your mouth writing cheques your arse couldn't cash.

[flynnitomite]

here's something for you to chew on: perhaps if somebody hadn't taken my gun, Zoran wouldn't have shot me in the chest and left me to babysit that live grenade

it's hard to have a standoff if you're unarmed

[nicearsenal]

[Goddamnit he has a point.

A really horrible point that sinks to the bottom of her stomach like a stone.]

Well. When it comes to every man for themselves, I guess I learned from the best didn't I.

[flynnitomite]

i'm flattered but we both know you learned that lesson well before you met me

[nicearsenal]

I learned a better one.

[flynnitomite]

I guess we all did
