Preparing for the Worst
WHO: Cathair and RiffRaff
WHERE: The hardware store
WHEN: Morning

Cathair's first stop was the local hardware store. Besides sporting goods stores, there were few better places for improvised weapons. Especially if there were nail guns. Nails propelled at high speeds were excellent weapons, he'd learned that long ago. If not, the damage somebody could do with a simple claw hammer was amazing. He'd settle for one of those if there was nothing else. He could always fashion himself a slingshot as well. Most likely they even had some heavy gauge ball bearings that worked well for shot. If not, he could always find something else.

As he had learned from checking out a few other buildings, the hardware store was unlocked and open. And apparently someone was already there. He heard nosy clattering and things being moved about and possibly taken apart. "Hello?" he called out, following the noises to their source. Which was a rail thin girl with a shaved head who was taking apart things like she had a purpose.

"Need them for what?" he asked, curious. She seemed the odd sort who was likely good with machinery and electronics. They were always insane, but brilliant. And had the social skills of a badger with an abcessed tooth. "You've figured out how to get us out of here then?" He doubted it, but it helped to know what she was up to so they weren't working against each other or some nonsense like that.

	All right, he'd pegged her right on. Absolutely brilliant loon. And social skills of a rabid animal. Oh well. His brows went up at her suggestion at who'd captured them. "I've never heard of MI6 carting off prisoners to tropical islands and leave them to run loose on it," he pointed out. "Although the 'need to know basis' smacks of their sort of business."

	Riffraff shrugged, "I've no idea but I'm going to check. If there aren't, I'll have a harder time doing what I need to do but I can do it by hand." If the hardware store was so well supplied, she had no doubt that there were power tools. It was like they just didn't care. After all, this guy could fashion weapons out of everything else. Why did it matter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Mm-hmm," was about all she managed as she got lost in some circuitry and transistors and other such electrical bits and bobs. What she wouldn't give for a lab filled with the latest technology. Oh well, this would have to do. She wondered if the computer in her room was strong enough to handle programming for an AI. She had no idea but she was going to find out.
