[It's not exactly the introduction McCree was expecting to make - not that this whole thing is anything he would've expected to begin with - but after hassling people over poetry, it's time to get down to business.

And he definitely has the time to spare.]


So does this kind of shit happen here often? [He gestures with the lit cigar he's holding.] Just casual news posts about serial killers, rounded off with fancyass coffees?

[He pauses to take a drag, mulling it over. Maybe it's not his place, but something needs to be done.]

Is anyone else gonna hunt that bastard down, or am I gonna have to do it myself?

Well, that's the thing: the devices came from the one company. The broadcasts are for the whole city.

But sometimes they ask us specifically to help with things, so I don't think they'd mind if you helped. But there's a lot of citizens around here who could get hurt. It'd be irresponsible to encourage THEM to get involved, don't you think?

Fair enough.

You're pretty suspicious yourself, you know?
american_alien: (3: awwwwkward)

[personal profile] american_alien 2016-11-22 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Not really. Is it like that where you're from?

And I agree with you. Do you maybe want to work on it? I've... got a few tricks that I could use to find out information on the case if they won't give us access.

Your lack of trust in me is scathing.

I could promise that I have no intention of collecting on your bounty, but that would imply that you would expect me to keep my promises in the first place.

Holy crap no! Nothing like that!

OMG

I just meant I can see and smell and sense things that most people can't. Including through walls and stuff so I can look at what the authorities have got without hurting ANYBODY.

I help the sheriff in my hometown sometimes. I know what to look for.

An inquiry most worthy of further investigation! I do not fathom a reason to lie over this. But I grasp far less a reason to be murder numerous others! I therefore made a logical presumption; It cannot be.

I... I cannot believe that, brother, for there must always be a reason, even the most minuscule sort. Even if it is difficult to understand...

[He is quiet, frowning away from the screen. Then-]

I shall be of assistance in the apprehension and interrogation of the killer. I possess skills that could be of use.

There's only one of us with a bounty on their head, McCree.

[According to her point in time, anyway.]

Justice is a process, Jesse, you know that. [A long and clunky process that costs lives at the whim of whoever has the heaviest wallet. She doesn't mention that. She'd still rather he not try to deal with it alone.]

As for your arm, if you won't tell me what you've done to it to need an entirely new replacement, I will respect that. I will not like it, but I will respect it. As your doctor and friend, I will not retract my demand that you come to me to have it looked at properly.

[A small pause, a head tilt. Considering.]

Or would you rather I come to you?

Only the reasons why you seem to be so notorious?

[personal profile] thygospelevity 2016-11-22 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I do not... [No. There must be a reason. There must be a reason. It just isn't known.

Not yet.

He straightens his back and lifts his chin like he's an imperial recruit for a peace mission.]


I have the ability to sense and feel the fear of others. If I find out what they're afraid of, I can get into their mind, possibly finding them.

[Maybe. He's not all that confident in the strength of his ability.]
