testing 1 2 3
can you hear me now?
good

I'm looking for somebody who knows how to handle a sword
preferably somebody better than the mooks in the training yard
for teaching purposes, just to be clear, not mercenary work
I'll pay if I gotta, money or favors

alternatively, anyone who knows how to get a friggin gun
doesn't seem like they're just handing those out at the barracks
six-shooter, lever-action, doesn't matter, I'll take whatever I can get my hands on

if you find any guns, pass it on. been here fuck knows how many months now and haven't found so much as a bullet. it's like a barren wasteland out there

[righteously]

I've seen one or two floating around. Looked like an off-brand Winchester Model 1890 and some kind of revolver. Just haven't figured out where the hell they're selling 'em from.

[baltimores]

[ Give him a minute to process that information. ]

that old, huh

shit. guess it's better than nothing. where are you?

[princessvegas]

They ain't got real guns here yet. Just weird old guns. Flintlocks and fuckin' blunderbusses or whatever. Besides, they got magic, so it's not like they need guns that much.

You just wanna shoot, you can do that in the Horizon, though. It's not the same, but it's something.

Yeah, I've seen a few things around that look early 1900s. I'll take what I can get.

It ain't exactly the weird magic dream heaven I'm worried about needing a gun for.

[princessvegas]

You any good with a bow? They got plenty of those. Or, like I said, they got magic you can learn. I can kinda make a ball of fire and throw it now. It's not a shotgun but it's pretty fun.

[ oh, interesting. the brain texting is a bit weird, but the sparkling text message is helpful. ]

Really looking to fit in with the locals, huh?
Can't imagine why they're not handing out guns to new people who get dragged out of a lake naked, but who am I to judge the customs.

[ incidentally, it's signed tony stark. ]

[righteously]

Hey, if they've seen my rifle & 2 shells, I figure they owe me one back

[ he has not had enough coffee to deal with this shit, but you know what? he's bored, and pauses in his battery creation experiment to . . . troll a nobody on the medieval version of the internet. ]

Oh, sorry. My bad.
'Iron Man' was taken.
You can call me Anthony if you want to feel more formal or whatever.

Why do you need a gun?
Just out of curiosity.
The Dungeons & Dragons hideaway where I'm trapped seems pretty peaceful and farm-y.
Not much of a need for warfare here.

[Lucky for Dean, this is the first time someone's words have popped into her head. Normally she would love to ignore... whatever this is, whatever magic this is, but he says the most important word that pertains to her situation right now.

Gun.

At this point, she's willing to write... think?... back. Some women have one thing on their mind, and it's long shafts that make explosions.]

You find where to procure a proper rifle, I'll even trade a few bullets for it. If you can handle them.

[righteously]

You say that like there's something I should know about those bullets

What's the deal, happy meal?

[everyrosehas]

[Shionne can already guess explaining the process of compacting astral energy into a form that can be shot through a rifle, imbued with an elemental flare, will be wasted upon him. She decides to go for something simple.]

They explode.

[unwings]

You realize angel blades aren't the only weapon I'm proficient with.
Any luck with your firearms?

[righteously]

Hold up, are you telling me you know how to freakin swordfight?

[unwings]

Angels would be poor soldiers if we didn't. The first iteration of Angel Blades were swords, carried by a sect called the Grigori.

[falcony]

[ there is a distinct impression here that sam’s handwriting is just the type to have all capital letters, so please don’t think he’s yelling at you, dean. ]

HAVE YOU TRIED ASKING GERALT?
HE’S BEEN GIVING ME LESSONS FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW
NOT A BAD TEACHER ONCE YOU GET PASSED THE FACT YOU’RE LEARNING TO FREAKING SWORDFIGHT

[righteously]

Somebody else pointed me his way, too. I've already tapped on him a couple times since I got here. Don't wanna burn through 'em all in one sitting. I'll keep it in my back pocket.

Turns out my angel carry-on's a damn fencer, so I should be okay.

Appreciate the direction, though, pops.

[falcony]

HE'S SORT OF OUR LOCAL MIYAGI IF YOU WANT TO GET ALL KARATE KID ON THIS
BUT HE'S ALREADY TEACHING ME AND THIS FRIEND OF OURS - AMOS
SO IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO SLOT YOU INTO SWORD SCHOOL

AND YOUR ANGEL?
OH
OH YOU MEAN CAS
RIGHT

WELL EITHER WAY - YOU NEED ANYTHING LET ME KNOW

[ it's cute y'all have nicknames but sam's not here to judge. ]

[priestified]

[ Fuck, this brain-texting is gonna get real weird, real fast. ]

Have you tried saving up your allowance like a big boy and buying your guns, friend?

[righteously]

Yeah, the cash isn't the problem, captain helpful, it's about the "where". Who the hell's selling these things?

[priestified]

[ Weird, it's almost like other people aren't in the habit of immediately ingratiating themselves to the seedy underbelly of wherever they happen to find themselves?

...but that isn't his problem! Maxwell knows an economic opportunity when he sees one. ]

I might know a guy.

What kind of sword are you looking for? I've rubbed elbows with the local blacksmith often enough, though I suppose that depends on where you are.

[righteously]

I'm all set on getting the thing, I just need the training part. That blacksmith of yours make guns?

I'm in Cadens

[unnecessaryflourishes]

I do have some experience with blades. But there is the small matter of comparative location to consider.

[righteously]

Yeah, good point
I'm in Cadens
You?
