I'm picturing the "wire department guy" as a guy who sits in a small closet full of spools of wire, waiting desperately for someone to need some wire.
Then, when someone finally comes to his closet, he's probably way to excited and creeps them out with his enthusiasm.
"Oh? You need some wire?" he'll say. "Don't worry. I've got you covered! What kind of wire do you need? Stranded or solid? What sort of gauge are you looking for? Do you have any preference with regards to jacketing or insulation? What sort of material? Most people just want copper wire, but I just got some AMAZING fiber optic cable in the other day!"
"Umm... Sorry dude. I was just looking for a broom..."
"Oh... Well... Let me know if you need any wire..."
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

"How about a wire brush? BETTER THAN ANY BROOM!"
