OK so... I've gooed pretty much everything that looks suspicious in this creeptastic little resort - which probably makes sense to no one - but! We're all still here so obviously I'm a little out of my depth.

[ major shruggage, usa, population: claudia. still, undaunted! ]

If you see anything kind of uh, out of place? Which I get is kind of -- everything. But you know the old saying if you see something say something? A funky necklace, or maybe an old Glockenspiel, you know: weird stuff. It would be cool if I could take a look at it.

Oh-- Claudia. Is me. Hey hey, yo! [ insert eyebrow waggle. ]

[ Well. After that video, this confused face shows up on Claudia's video screen. ] Hi. Adam Parrish. Is me. [ Best intro ever. ]

Uhm... [ We'll get past the intro. Adam is the curious sort. And that's why he couldn't let Claudia's video go by without responding. He's good at quests. And if there's something specific she's looking for... well... ] So what exactly are you looking for?

[hackrid]

[ hey it's a pretty good face, confusion and all. ]

Adam, what's up? [ wavewave, as if you've been friends forever! ] Uhh-- well. Could be anything, could look totally normal. Like one time I accidentally grabbed Elvis Presley's hip bone and let's just say that Shakira and her honest hips had nothing on me. [ yeah cause hip bones. totally normal, claud. ]

Or-- oh! Wyatt Earp's badge. Makes you go all gung ho on the crime fighting, classic western style.

[ He's pretty sure she's talking in riddles. But... ] Well I have a garage. I run.. I run the garage in town. A mechanics shop.

[ He looks like he might stop there, and he almost does except he realizes that that little information tells her nothing. ] I mean there's a lot of stuff there I've collected. Stuff that was there when I got it. Junk, mostly. But... if you wanna go through it...

[hackrid]

Really!? That would rock. Like, I will owe you.

[ claudia doesn't really do hard to get, if you didn't notice? ]

When can I stop by?

[adamparrish]

[ Her enthusiasm surprises him. It surprises him enough to just stare into the screen of his phone for a moment. Usually he's the only one excited about the prospect of junk. And Adam's brand of excitement is never that visible. It's just something he feels on the inside.

But finally, his brows lift, an impression of a smile more than an actual smile, something to show he's amused and curious. ]

I'm usually there between eight and four. So anytime between then unless something comes up. [ Usually that something is Ronan. ]
