I try to avoid gunfights generally.

How would that be fun?

[crucifer]

Adrenaline rush, mostly.
Guns are like toys, and bullets are like candy where I'm from.
Not so much in yours?
Getting that kind of impression from everyone else.

[camena]

Well

Like one stray bullet could kill you so...

[crucifer]

My specialty is that I'm a real sturdy guy.
I'm a professional at that.

[camena]

I

assume that means you are stronger against bullets than normal people?

[crucifer]

Yeah. A couple bullets won't stop me.
Also I got the Lord protecting me.

[ This is like, as literal as it gets. ]

[camena]

A lot of people think that and they can still die but

good I guess

if you're immune to bullets

that's terrifying

idk

[crucifer]

Not immune. Can still die if it hits the right places.
Just pretty good about not going down after a shot or two.

[ Should've been in superhell... ]

Occupational hazard. Is that what they call it?

[camena]

Wasn't your occupation being a priest?

[crucifer]

It is.
It comes with the territory.

[ WHEN CHURCH GIVES YOU A GUN ]

[camena]

You didn't mention gunfights last time you told me about your job.

[crucifer]

Do you tell people what's the weather like at your job?
Do you have a job
?

[camena]

Gunfire isn't weather.

And I'm a high school student, so no.

[crucifer]

I've been working since I was ten.
Maybe lower. Don't remember.
Never too early.
Great financing skills.
Probably desirable on resumes.

[camena]

That's sad. Like. Depressing.

Kids should be running around playing games all day.

Where I'm from it's technically illegal for kids to work.

[crucifer]

It was an orphanage.
Just felt like helping out.
Everyone was busy.

[camena]

Adding that it was an orphanage just makes it more sad. Not less.

[crucifer]

I don't know what you want me to say.
You're just calling my life sad.

[camena]

Oh right. Sorry.

[crucifer]

It's fine. I know it sounds bad on paper.
But it is the norm where I'm from.
Don't worry about it too hard.
You have your own life.

[camena]

Yeah. Still.

But okay anyway

How'd you choose who to stick with?

[ nosy ass ]

[crucifer]

Did your friend tell you anything?
The girls reached out to us, so it worked out that way.
Was looking for two anyway.
They all look capable.

[camena]

Jonas?

We mostly just talked about how you seemed cool enough to talk to and trade info with. But it's not like we were gossiping.

[crucifer]

Yeah. Him.
You didn't have to say it like that.
It's because I reached out to him about teams but he told me you two already had plans.
No problems working with you.
Already talked to some of the guys on Livio's team.
They're a peaceful lot.

[camena]

Your name came up while we were floating ideas.

But good. To both things. That'll be helpful for us and
Sounds like good for him.

He seems sweet.
