Got it — that gold-red fern that only opens up during the day? Tobacco like.

Gives you a headache first time you smoke it, but afterwards? Smooth sailing.

Bring me samples of the leaves, drier the better. Found rolling papers.

Or don't. I'm not your mom.

[ Yet despite saying that, attached comes a picture of the aforementioned plant (Sun's Lace), two samples in view: one healthy, the other dried up. ] So you gonks don't poison yourselves toking up the wrong herb.

You're welcome ᝰ🚬

[mikoshi]

It's fine. Autocorrect pisses me off

Pissing you off? How so?

Japanese

[blyat]

an earth place, right? ... uhh japan?

[mikoshi]

Know what you mean [ Too many things lost in translation.]

Happy to be your first then
Yeah, Japan. Never been. But my dad was from there [ And that's as far as he's going with that. Lesson learned. ]

[blyat]

why haven't you been
too far away?

[mikoshi]

That and they don’t like people like me

[blyat]

[He gets the sentiment, and because of that doesn't ask anything else.]

[mikoshi]

[ Thank God for that subject change. ]

Congrats, you're smarter than most peeps here

Hides in plain sight too
A plus in my industry

[mikoshi]

Nope
Just came off a big gig before coming to this place
Want to fuck around with rides for a bit
But hey, if shit gets rough?
Text me

2/2

[mikoshi]

Guess I owe you cigarettes now, huh?

[blyat]

yeah, if shit gets rough

[In a sense, it already has... if getting mauled by a giant lizard counts. But he gets the point. And even if he won't admit it, it's probably good to have other experienced fighters around.]

can handle a headache and i'm almost done with this pack i got from some guy, so
sure
if you're offering. sounds like you know how to make these.
was it hard to figure out?

[mikoshi]

I am. And I do
Cigarettes are great for bartering
Been rolling them since before I smoked them
Nah. Plant looks a lot like the ones back home
Desert is desert

[blyat]

yeah definitely
alcohol too, except it seems pretty available here
thanks for the cigs
guess i'll find you later?

[mikoshi]

Yeah, but alcohol doesn’t calm the nerves or stop hunger quite like nicotine
No prob
Ship and tent north of the camp
Bright orange canopy
