If there's anyone here who needs to learn how to use a gun, I'd be willing to instruct.
Gaby wants it made clear that the guns are for missions only. If we get caught with them, they won't be able to get us out of that easily.
[ or at all, but bellamy doesn't think it's beneficial to be that blunt. ]

Like I said, you're looking in the wrong places. What creates that world you're so disgusted with?
Do some homework. Get back to me afterward. Maybe I'll humor you.

It's a definite, definite no.

and that's before the whole issue of "handler," "crossing lines," etc. ]
You think you're clever. Let's see what you can work out.
My theory? You're too caught up in looking at the places you know. Seems to be a habit for a whole lot of you.

i do get caught up in my own bullshit
good thing i've got people smarter than me
\private.
\private.
but i'll get over it

\private.
ever want to exchange tragic backstories, you've got my number
i'll share if you do
\private.
That's some pretty narrow thinking there. Why would my life have to be tragic just so I can dedicate myself to this?
\private.
that's usually how it goes, isn't it?
j faces down a shitton of problems in their childhood,
turns to making sure no one else ever has to have the same fears
a witnesses the death of someone important to them,
puts on a pair of tights to keep those pesky robbers off the streets
\private.
Most people just join the cops and try to do their best.
\private.
corrupt assholes who abuse their power or people who are only in it for the bennies and do the bare minimum
can you tell me it's any different here?
\private.
I'd say it depends on the people. Isn't that how it normally goes? If the cops all did their jobs, we wouldn't exist, but then, who says they can do their jobs? Who says that someone within their precinct isn't getting in their way? Nothing is black or white, Matches. Not the way you paint it.
[ Gaby has Mixed Feelings on cops, but sure as hell isn't going to spell out the heart of that to him.
then again – she's got some mixed feelings on how Matches sees the world. some of it applies, but not all of it. that could fuck him over if he applied the wrong logic in the wrong place. ]
What's a "benny" anyway?
\private.
a few, in a crowd of fucking hundreds
sure would be hard for those few to be effective when they're surrounded by corrupt assholes
bennies
benefits
retirement funds, better health care, life insurance, decentish pay, that kind of bullcrap
\private.
\private.
just with a few more cities on the dirt
\private.
Guess you could say that the degree and definition doesn't matter.
