"Ah, nu'in layk a hoe tae braten mah dae."
[Straight pimpin'.]
Jane speaks "And what would this work be?"
"Well Charles, I am Charles. What sorta work you need done?
Also, do you happen to have any spare .45?"
"M'names Joe. What work do ya need done?"
The man gives a toothy grin, "Love to hear that you all will be willing to cooperate. In hard times like these, I believe that we all should barter for whatever we need, helping out each other in the end. You have what I need, and vice-versa. See, I've got plenty of firepower and ammunition, as you'da expect. I got food, drink, hell even a few cold ones. I'm good for the most part, even being by myself and everything, but I havta' admit, I need some...stimulation. See, what I want really are some magazines. Now, that's not bullet magazines, reading magazines! The good ones: Guns, Fishing, Hunting, Camping, just appreciation of the wilderness and all the good its brought us. Though of course some..." He leans closer into the slot of a window in the barricade, making his large, physical frame and full beard visible, "...'girly', magazines would be especially nice. You know what I mean fellas'. Movies are good too, I'll need DVDs specifically though. Make sure to get me something fun, like the kung-fu Jackie Chan flicks, or some knee-slapping goodies. And uh...'female focus' DVDs as well, that'd be good. Not chick flicks, I...you got it. Anyways, of course, for some quality entertainment, I'd be willing to make some transaction with you folk."
He looks at Charles and smiles widely, "That's a Tommy you've got with you? Hell, you know what, I'll give you some bullets just for class, I like your style boy. How much do you need?"
I want to bring up the fact now that, as the day goes on, people are going to start needing food and water. This is going to be a bit of the problem for the Farm Searchers, as the Scouting Expedition has taken 100% of these resources. If you guys want, I can Retcon some story and make it so that you'll have left some stuff for the first group to eat and drink as the day goes on. Or not. Y'all's decision.
