Team Tembo: Day one

[sparednothing]

[By now you should have already woken up to your surroundings. Your camp is in the jungle, surrounded by tents, vehicles and cages full of dinosaurs. Wander around, check out the armoury, wonder why there are a bunch of dinosaurs in cages, or get yourself a tent]

[Oh. Hunting. Is that what they're meant to be? Circus suppliers?

He doesn't know what that thing is, so obviously someone who does is going to take care of it.

He needs more information. So, incredulously:]

That?

[collectmyfee]

[The best circus in the world. Tembo looks at the Rex in his arms, then at Sherlock. When he replies, he's very sardonic. He doesn't care for Ludlow's plans at all, he just wants to get his prize and get out of here. This other stuff, it's just fancy paperwork]

Apparently the kids will go wild for it.

[workaphilic]

[Sherlock's eyebrows go up -- seems best to play up the skepticism here -- but he doesn't push the issue any further. Instead, he casts his eyes back towards the other cages.]

What else is left? We have our main attraction, plenty of minor ones. Surely that's enough.

[collectmyfee]

We've got everything on Ludlow's list. But I'm not going anywhere until I get my buck.

[workaphilic]

Am I getting compensated for your 'buck'?

[collectmyfee]

You're being paid by Ludlow, I've got nothing to do with that. My buck is my payment.

[workaphilic]

[He eyes the T-Rex.]

Quite a bit of effort for one quarry and no money.

[If he's 100% honest, he understands the sentiment. He's taken plenty of cases for no compensation, just for the chase.

But, of course, he's not 100% honest.]

[collectmyfee]

I don't care about money. I'm in it for the challenge. To live. I'll be the first person to hunt down a buck Tyrannosaur. That's damn good enough for me.

[workaphilic]

Ah. [He tucks his hands into his pockets, squinting critically.] You'll not be wanting our help, then.

[collectmyfee]

Not for shooting the buck, no. That's my kill and mine alone.
