From Chronicles

The current game time is: Sun Mar 12 14:12:18 107 PA.

Sleet drums down from the rolling dark clouds on there today. Not quite as heavy as a truly horrendous storm, but also not your light flurry activity. This appears to be trying to stick, even if it can't make up it's mind weather to rain or snow. The last quarter moon hangs overhead.

Midday has come, bringing with it all the warmth it can muster on this horrible March day. This happens to be just enough to turn what might have been a nice blizzard into a horrible inundation of the worst kind of sleet. Not bothering to make her way along the various isthmuses between puddles, Celaeno simply storms through, chin tucked into her coat but lacking any umbrella or appropriate attire, heading vaguely in the direction of Galvin's last known location.

Galvin turns up the space heater and adjusts the ATV overhang to keep the snow out. He adjusts his glasses on his face, pushing them up on his face. Seeing a shape in the snow he peers out and calls out. "Hey there. I've got a heater here. Don't freeze out there."

Without even a hesitation, Celaeno firmly pushes through into the shelter of the overhang, a quick shudder shaking loose several strands of stringy, sodden hair. "Good on you," she shudders, the heater inducing several more shivers with the sudden change in atmosphere. "Still haven't found a place, hm?" she asks as conversationally as she might manage.

Galvin smiles as he sees who it is and gives Celaeno a quick nod of his head. "Oh no I have a place. I've got an apartment now. Living at Raleigh's Retreat. I also got a job at AIM, which so far is pretty good." He says with a quick shrug of his shoulders before taking a quick sip of his soda. "So I have your swords ready to go."

"Such a busy, busy bee," Celaeno says brightly, loosening up somewhat as the heater does its magic. Turning away with another shudder she moves to shake off some of the lingering water and sleet, her hands moving to pull back and wring out her hair. "Glad to hear you were able to find some time in that whirlwind of a life you live to fix them up. Hope it wasn't too rough."

Galvin laughs a bit and turns up the heater another notch to help give Celaeno some more warmth. "Wasn't too bad. Took a little work, but the damage was fixed. Cost me about 11200 credits in parts to fix everything, but they should work as good as new. I'm going to charge you 2800 credits for time and labor. I think that seems hair." He says while he reaches back into the cargo space and takes out a blue towel and holds it out incase Celaeno wants it to help dry her hair.

Celaeno eyes the towel for a moment, "Not worth it. I'm just going to be heading back out into it in a few minutes anyways." A glance is given to the wall of inclement weather before she just shakes her head. "Tch, things get pricey really quick, don't they?" She shifts on one foot, "Glad to hear you were able to cover the costs. Those things have a hell of a hide," she grins. "Apparently. But if you don't mind the question - if you've a job, and a place... surely you've better things to do than lounge about the Strip."

Galvin gives his shoulders another shrug as he tosses the towel back into his ATV. "You can borrow it if you want? Try to keep your hair dry for the walk back?" He offers before reaching back and grabbing the two swords out of the back. "Yah well the Katana was the pricy one. It is really nice quality and took most of the expenses." He looks up from the swords at Celaeno. "Well right now I'm on my lunch break."

Celaeno just grins, her stance only moderately confrontational. "Trying to hurry me along, are we? And no, thanks. I'll be all right heading back - it's just one of those things you get used to, really." She unbuttons her coat to let in some more heat, beginning to steam. "And yeah, it is a pretty nice sword." A hand slides into her breast pocket, producing a card and a flask. "This should about cover it, want a nip before you head back to work?"

Galvin shakes his head and offers a slight little nervous smile. "Nah I can take as long as I like I guess." He takes the card from you and shakes his head slightly. "Naw I can't before I go back. Wouldn't want to get in trouble this soon after getting hired." He says with a small little grin. "You need anything else fixed or worked on I'll be happy to do it."

A hand lifts to her eyes to blindly straighten out some of her eyeliner's smearing. "Fine, fine," she says, passing over the card and returning the flask to its pocket. "And when I break another of my toys, should I be looking for you here, or over at your work? You wanting to keep it off the books, avoid some commission?" She settles in somewhat, moving to lean against the ATV.

Galvin laughs slightly and shakes his head. "Well if it is vehicle work you can come by my place of employment. I'll keep that on the books. But weapon type stuff you should come by my apartment. I have it set up as a bit of a shop and I can fix everything there." He offers a little smile as he puts the card away. "I like where I work. I don't mind bringing them some buisness. I'm sure I'll be able to offer a discount as well."

"You're far too kind," Celaeno says, "though not to the point where I'm going to turn you down, of course." With a deep breath of the ever-increasing steam coming off her coat, she smiles idly at the world for a moment. "I don't imagine you'll ever be needing any services I might offer," she says, "But I'm always good for a drink or a smoke." Pushing off the ATV, she moves to collect her swords, hooking them both to her right hip.

Galvin shrugs his shoulders. "Well not exactly sure what services you offer. And you never know what may happen down the road. I sure would need someone to protect me if I went out into danger." He says while watching you get ready to leave. "Sides I'm sure I'll have to go out and get some items from time to time. You never know."

Celaeno nods, "Maybe you will, maybe you won't. Plenty of time to tell." She shifts for a few moments, eyeing the weather once more. "All right. All right. I'll let you get back to your lunch - your work - your everything. If anything breaks, you'll certainly see me again."

Galvin nods his head as again offers a smile. "Well good to see you. I hope to see more of you around Celaeno. You can always call me on the radio if you need me." He says while finishing off his soda.

Celaeno just grins back, "I'm always around, and I'll see you there. Thanks for the work," she says, securing her coat and possessions against the wet before taking a deep breath and plunging out.
