[Is that lie or truth? Perhaps she just does not want to leave them unattended for him to take at his leisure? Or she wants to make him rush, for hurried men make mistakes.]

I thought the guide was maintained by CaptSteveRogers.

[spoileralert]

Al wrote it, he's Lelric. Steve helps maintain it. I wrote my own guide, with more info and less survival tips. The thing about cabinets is probably in there somewhere.

[advanced]

Tell me more about Lelric.

[He has gleaned a little, but if this person is working closely with Steve then Bucky wants to get a better read on him. Steve has always been too trusting for his own good.]

[spoileralert]

[ She smiles, though it isn't lost on her that she's being grilled for information and given nothing in return. ]

Al's my best friend. He and I've been here since day one. You'll see his username on the walls a lot, mapping out the area. He's got a huge suit of armor, so you'll know him if you see him. He may seem too optimistic to be real, but he kicks some major ass when he needs to.

[ So if you fuck with her on this trade, you get to deal with him. :) ]

[advanced]

[He hears the implied threat but he ignores it, focusing instead on what he's been told. It may not be accurate, especially coming from a biased source such as a friend, but he will bear in mind that this Lelric, or Al, is a potential threat to be monitored.]

How long has it been since day one?

[spoileralert]

Almost four months. We're on 114.

[advanced]

Why hasn't the town been mapped yet?

[How could it possibly not be done after four months?]

[spoileralert]

Did you even read the guides?

[ She's a little offended. It's not like they haven't been trying. ]

Visibility is maybe like, a quarter mile on average, we're slogging through three feet of snow, the doors are locked from 7PM to 6AM, we're all starving and dehydrating, anyone with powers doesn't have them anymore, and there aren't any buildings still standing tall enough to get a decent vantage point from. Oh yeah, and there are anomalies running around that kill you with a touch and something called MN poisoning doing god knows what to our heads.

[advanced]

[He needs to know more about these anomalies and the poisoning, more than what was in the guide. He has no trouble believing in them, he's seen stranger things than non human creatures and mind altering poisons in his life.

But he's not going to rise to the argument. Not with her.]

I read it. It's been 114 days, still should have been done.

[Maybe he will rise to the argument a little.]

[spoileralert]

It's a work in progress.

[ He'll figure it out sooner or later. ]

[advanced]

[Fine, he'll leave that for now. He doesn't want to get drawn in and reveal anything about himself, so he'll simply drop it there.

No goodbye, no thanks. Just hanging up.]
