Fourth Spark

[memoriesinsmoke]

[Liz has done her best to make it last as long as possible. However, it's been a month, and half a pack of smokes can only last for so long. So, now it's time to ask another vital question.]

Anybody here know where I can find some cigarettes?

[folkloristlore]

Great question. I've-- uh-- I've got a pack? I've been rationing them since I got here, but I could spare one if you need a smoke?

[memoriesinsmoke]

That'd be great, thanks. [Liz really appreciates the gesture, since she has no idea if this place actually has any cigarettes. And her nerves would really appreciate the nicotine.]

[folkloristlore]

Where can I-- uh, where can I meet you? I'll bring it over.

[memoriesinsmoke]

In the armoury, right now. [Since she can't use her fire, Liz has been spending a lot of time trying to acquaint herself with some of the available weapons.] I can wait for you.

Thanks, again. [Seriously. It may not sound like it, but this is like a godsend for her.]

[thenotmagician]

That stuff'll kill ya, y'know.

[memoriesinsmoke]

Yeah, but compared to some of the other things that can kill me, I think I'd rather take this route.

[thenotmagician]

Huh, guess y'gotta point there.

But still. Makes everything taste funny, too.

[memoriesinsmoke]

Maybe, but it's relaxing, and I'll take that over being able to taste food. [Seriously, in her line of work, any relaxation she can get is important.]

[talkingfishbone]

Dunno. What are they?

[Yes, TELL THE FOURTEEN YEAR OLD ABOUT CIGARETTES.]

[memoriesinsmoke]

[THIS CAN ONLY GO WELL.]

They don't have them where you're from?

[talkingfishbone]

Or they go by a different name. Feel free to fill me in.

[memoriesinsmoke]

They're rolls of paper filled with tobacco. [And whatever else the companies throw in there, but she's not going to name that list because that would take forever.] You light them, and then you smoke them.

They're not healthy, but they're good for calming nerves.

[misguides]

Mind passing it along, if you find anything out?

I'm running low myself.

[memoriesinsmoke]

I'll be sure to fill you in, once I find out. [Because cigarettes are important, damn it.]

[misguides]

[Definitely not one to disagree, here. If they've gotta fight, they might as well be allowed to poison their lungs at their own leisure.]

I'd appreciate it.

[memoriesinsmoke]

Will do. I've been trying to save onto my own for a while, but half a pack can only last for so long. [She tried, though. Oh, did she ever try.]

[stormcleaver]

We had a bad crop last year, but there should be some tobacco in the stores.

[He doesn't smoke it himself, but plenty of people do.]

I'll see to it that a store of papers is kept on hand for you.

[memoriesinsmoke]

[Huh. That's...oddly helpful. Not what she'd expect from the people who run this place.]

Good to know. Thanks.
