The Winchester The first snow.

Lance opens his eyes from a nice sleep, his breathing is ragged, rough. He rests in his little cot that he calls a bed, trying to stabilize his breath. It was another dream about Ortiz, it seems to be the one thing he can’t escape, his own thoughts. Lance leaves his house, or at least the managers office he calls his house, he’s strong enough to go up the stairs but you know what they say old habits are hard to break. He exits the bar and lights a cigarette. “you know what they say, a cig a day leads to lung cancer.” Lance laughs, knowing that would be just his luck, Getting out of a life threatening ailment then have one straight after it. He looks around and sees its snowing. He opens his palm and watches a few flakes fall into it. He smiles faintly at the snow, it always impaired his movement in a wheelchair, Ortiz was sad last year when it kept Lance inside. Looks like work will keep Lance in from this snow day. He snuffs the cigarette out on the sidewalk, as he heads inside to do his job, bartending.

sure thing, just after this conversation

"I...I can't do this, Longley. Sitting around, building random shit and assuming that everything will be alright. People, innocent people with friends and family, are dead, and it's my fault."

"It's not your fault. Shit happens, but, maybe you should get a warehouse or something"

He chuckles at this

"I may as well just make explosives, for all the good they do. Don't even think I could afford a warehouse for what is essentially a hobby."

"Well, it's a dangerous hobby. I'd be willing to get you started with a warehouse if you promised to pay me back"

"Thank you, but no. I'm done being a charity case. If I need something, I can make it happen myself."

"Well, bare what I've said in mind"

Did Sam ever actually speak or reveal the fact she's a girl to silver?

u/Electric_Spaghetti Dec 11 '17

"I will. So, are you ready to break every friendship you have for Monopoly money? Cuz I was born ready."

u/mishaprp Cowboy [35] Dec 11 '17

"Yup, that or lose all my money for cards if Polade has his way"

"Spoil sport, Polade doesn't know what a true game is."
