[hellosailor]

Hey, you're Australian, right?

[totallytrustworthy]

Haven't been back in ages, but yeah. Might know a thing or two about it.

Why? Not planning on relocating, are you?

[hellosailor]

Are you kidding me? Nah, way too many men in shorts.

Actually looking for a bit of intel. I was down there once and remember a place called Liquorland? They're a chain, right?

[totallytrustworthy]

Mmm, big one. [Also come on, Victor, you'd look fabulous in a pair.]

[hellosailor]

[Grown men don't wear shorts.]

Right, just what I want to hear. You know where any of 'em are? I'm looking to hit a few of them if I can.

[totallytrustworthy]

Well like I said its been a while, but you can't go wrong in Melbourne. [If faded memory serves, there were too many to count littering her old stomping ground.] Even if a few have checked out, chances are plenty ought to still be left.

[A pause and then:] You know they'll never let you drag that much back home with you.

[hellosailor]

Well it is a goddamn time machine, when were you there?

[He didn't have a particular set date in mind, anyway. Although he'd kind of considered 'present day'. Didn't mean much though, did it?]

Don't see why not. Haven't you heard? We're in control of our own destinies. Besides, I think I can make a case for it.

[He hadn't honestly thought about that. But seriously, who was going to stop him?]

[totallytrustworthy]

Oh, it must've been-- Christ, somewhere around the time you and Nate bumped heads, I'd say. Give a few.

[For the transient migration comes easy, but unpinning home base entirely and relocating elsewhere-- setting up a definite spot to come back to that is so unfamiliar-- isn't a choice made thoughtlessly. ]

That we do but they're still the ones running customs. Besides, they're a good enough bunch stuck in a sorry little box, can't be too hard to promise them a bottle for every boatload, yeah?

[hellosailor]

Thanks doll.

[He laughed, a wicked sound] Oh, I can do them one better. I'm thinking the Initiative drinks for free. All of 'em.

[They wanted to make peace with the natives? He didn't know any way better.]

[totallytrustworthy]

Oh for god's sake, Victor. You do that, they'll let you bring an entire Liquorland back with you.

[hellosailor]

That's the goal darlin'. That's the goal.

[totallytrustworthy]

Should've known. All right, all right, I won't nag. Just let me know how it went for you once you're back.

[hellosailor]

Will do. We'll have a drink.
