[So this place is definitely different. Aiden already misses his desk job. This place is hell, and he's terrified that he is going to find out just what a "skin pizza" is when it happens to him. All in all he gives Pandora a 0/10 on the "let's go here for vacation" meter.
He's decided to wander around the town of Hollowpoint and regretting this as his first choice of a tourist destination. This is the worst decision ever.]
Please, if there is some sort of god, I don't want to die today.
[ Well, Hollow Point is in a cave, so it's probably not the worst place he could end up?
Janey's tinkering away at something--a caravan, brought to her by a well-paying customer--when she hears his voice. She slides out from under the vehicle, face smudged with grease. ]
If you don't wanna die, you'd best pick yourself up a gun. [ She's studying him... ] Probably one that's not too big.
[He takes the clipboard and checks the directions. Greaaaaaaat he's going to die.
With a nod Aiden heads to the cabinet and opens it. He's never held a gun in his life. Which one is he supposed to pick? The smallest handgun would work. Yeah. This'll be good.]
Hey, tip, stranger! [ Janey's watching him. God, he's going to die. ] Open any loot crates ya find. There's usually some help in there; just stab yourself with the glowy red thingy and you'll be all healed up.
Oh, and if you do die, it'll be fine. New-U Stations exist for a reason!

Since he was so focused on his own thoughts, the voice behind him makes him jump rather badly.]
O-Oh god... [She looks.... "friendly".] I wouldn't even know where to buy one... at least not a place where someone won't stab me.
no subject
I'll tell ya what. I let you borrow one of the guns I've got here, you do some jobs for me, and we'll call it even.
no subject
Jobs? Won't take a gun until you tell me I'm not going to be standing on a street corner. [No. She's not a pimp, why would you assume that.]
no subject
I don't run that kind of business.
no subject
Just making sure before I say yes.
[She's going to shoot you at this rate. Just shut up.]
no subject
Here you go. Just... follow the directions there to the letter. And try not to get mauled horribly, yeah?
Guns are in the cabinet over there. Don't get too ambitious. You don't want to wrench your arm out of your shoulder socket from the recoil.

Stab? Like one of those allergy pens? [He's shivering out of fear.] I'd rather avoid using one of those.....

[He's trying to get used to the feel of this gun. It's still heavier than he'd like.] How many bullets does this thing have?
no subject
[ She holds out her hand. ]
Give it here and I'll tell ya.
no subject
[Okay. She knows her guns, so he hands it over.]
I just know you point the shooting end at a person and it kills them. Hopefully.

Name's Janey Springs, by the by!

Color him impressed.] That is so cool...
[Sounds kinda cute.] Aiden Rowen.

Nice to meet you, Aiden! Now, get out there and do some work! Oh-- [ Here's an ECHO device for you. ] So you're not completely lost.
no subject
[He takes it and looks it over.] I feel like they should have given me one of these things before I left Helios.

[Mostly because, wow, Vasquez cheated left and right.]
