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

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.

[righteously]

Oh hell yes, sign me up
What caliber we talking? This like a spell type thing or like a tinkering as a side hobby type thing? You take custom orders?

[everyrosehas]

[Maybe caliber is something you worry about when you don't make the rounds yourself.]

If you have a gun, they'll fit. Promise.

It's an arte. [The terminology hasn't hit anyone so far, so she adds:] Magic. Not a hobby. As for orders, I could be persuaded. It depends on your needs outside of "big explosion" and "larger explosion."

[If Alphen were here, surely he would be overjoyed to know Shionne has learned how to make a joke.]

[righteously]

( Yeah, good call on the clarification or he'd have assumed it was some pretentious version of I am an artiste, you plebian. )

Can you make 'em explode stuff other than
You know
Fire?
Something like salt, iron shrapnel, silver?

[everyrosehas]

[Luckily, in this case, Shionne's practical as far as the topic is weapons.]

Water, wind, darkness --

[Wait, what?]

I'm not against experimentation, but I have to ask why those, specifically? Attempting to salt the planet's largest steak? [She can't imagine why the requirements would be mined metals. More potential damage? She's rather sure the firestorm takes care of that.]

You must be hunting something big.

[righteously]

Water as in holy water? That something you could make work?
What's the deal with wind and darkness?


You could say that
Hunting's what I do for a living, I like to cover my bases


That, and whoever you know that's shooting steak. They deserve to go down first.

[everyrosehas]

Not sure what makes it holy, but I don't see why not.

[Clearly something large with very specific weaknesses. If it makes him feel better to have a priest chant over it, then sure. Water is water.]

I assume you know what elements are. Sometimes they hurt. Other times, they hurt even more. Certain zeugles get torn apart by some elements more quickly than others. You adapt to what you have to kill.

[She imagines, as a hunter, he must understand. Though it's becoming clear it's most likely not zeugles.]

I agree. It's a waste of a good meal.

[righteously]

Usually it's a prayer and a rosary, but seeing as I came without the latter it's gonna have to be my angel giving it the ol hokey pokey.

( good luck unpacking that sentence. )

Zeugles, I'm not familiar with the term. Sounds like stuff from your world's a little different.

What'll it cost me to get a write-up of the monsters you know about?

[everyrosehas]

[Instead of attempting to figure it out, it's simply easier to ignore it. Whatever makes him feel better about the water.]

Yes, clearly. [If only words could show bite. Dahna is not her world, but certainly it's a product of her world's influence. Zeugles being one of the worst ones.]

A lot of time and patience on both of our ends. Also depends on what else you can offer.

[righteously]

What are you in the market for?
