Clover is the first to get your attention. "Any of y'all experiencing this? I mean, mayhaps I'm overthinking matters," He lifts up his worn leather boot to show a $50 bill underneath it. "but I'm right sure this is the fifth time this has happened in a week!"
"What the?" Kiara kneels down to check the bill. It only takes a quick scan for her to notice something off about it. "Hey! I lost this bill like a day ago! I recognize the grease stains on it. Wish I had it before I was kicked out of that store but hey!"
"Well, missy, you can keep it! It's yours."
"Jackpot. Sweet."
Clover leans forward a bit, pointing a finger gun at Kiara, all while flashing a shit eating grin. "No problem, missy. Least I could do."
Everyone except for Casey and Benjamin are desperately trying to hold back their laughter (even Clover seems to realize how silly he looks). Can't deny it's charming though.
>+2 CHARM, +1 MAX FLESH, and +1 WILLPOWER TO CLOVER! HE NOW HAS GUNSLINGER'S GRIT!
"Ah! I see you are trying to charm the young women here." Benjamin seems to have totally misread what's going on. "What a dastardly scheme. We're all lucky that I, Benjamin Aaron, have seen through your trickery!" He's trying way too hard to make his voice sound deeper, it almost sounds nasally. "I-"
Max tries to say something to her but all she can do is to start bursting out in uncontrollable laughter. Benjamin immediately turns to look at her with a slightly panicked expression. "Y-you okay?"
"Y-yeah, yeah. Woo. Y-you were laying it on WAY too thick there." She wipes a tear from her eye."
"You sounded like you were doing a really shitty secret agent impression." An electronic snort exits Kiara.
"Aw. I thought I sounded cool." He immediately bounces back, however, because he's putting back on the faux-deep voice. "Answer yourself, Clover!"
Clover blinks a few times before shaking his head. "I can't even mad at this. Maybe polish up on your gal's advice a bit more. I imagine she put you up to this."
"She has been giving me some useful advice on how to talk to people, yes! Glad you guys enjoyed my performance!"
>+BIRD BRAINED CHARISMA to BENJAMIN! He gains +1 MAX RESTRAINT, CHARM, CONNECTIONS, and WILLPOWER!
As for Max? The only real difference you can see is a general sense of, well, excitement. She gives the group a thumbs up. "Hopefully this mission's better than the last ones we are on, eh?"
Everyone begins to mutter in agreement. Hard to really name a mission your allies have been on that wasn't fucked up in some way.
"Hopefully I can expand my horizons a bit, you know?" Max murmurs to herself.
>+UNDYING CURIOSITY TO MAX! SHE GAINS +1 MAX FLESH AND +1 WILLPOWER!
"Well, I'm going to give you guys some of my excess inventory. I'm your boss so I am obligated to give you guys new tools (and it's totally not because a lot of my stuff is useless to me.)"
"HARK! SHOW US THE GOODS!" Casey's yelling was just loud enough to get some nasty looks from people outside the station.
