Hey anyone know anything about guns? Like, safety, handling, shooting them?

Not- shooting anyone at the school. I just- I don't have magic so I figured it might be good next time something crazy happens.

*She'll just- sigh as she considers the words she just said.*

Which could be tomorrow given the way the school usually goes. Hey, are there magic guns, like, ones that do spells instead of just firing bullets? But I guess that's getting ahead of myself. I don't really know if I can feel comfortable handling a gun...

Don't worry, there are magic guns and they're fairly easy to acquire and handle if you know the basics of shooting. You can make them with runes. My rifle uses an energy blaster rather than bullets, for example. Made it myself.

[lastexit]

Firing real bullets doesn't bother me. I don't think. The only time I've ever handled a gun it had one of those flags that say bang on it.

So... I should be sure I can do that much before I get some custom magic gun.

[onebetter]

Makes perfect sense. Though a rune gun of some kind is really something to consider sooner rather than later, given there's a lot of Outlanders that have build up an immunity to regular bullets.

[lastexit]

I didn't know we had regular bullets here, cause we don't have regular anything here.

*She figured the bullets would like, turn into popcorn or something. She doesn't get magic, she just knows that everyone uses magic for nonsensical things!*

I'll think about it after I figure out if I'm any good with a gun. And how my powers work with them. I kinda complicate things.

[onebetter]

Ah, right, you'll hear the shot in more than one way, especially with a rune gun.

Are there any like... supernatural earmuffs, in case it gets in the way?

[lastexit]

I rely a bit too much on my hearing to just- turn it off. This is why I don't use any sort of oricalcum to contain my Flame. Especially if I'm trying to fight monsters.

*Being aware of the area around her without looking is one of her greatest assets, turning that off would be foolish.*

If I can turn off the magic completely, or keep it contained some other way. Like- magic bullets instead of a magic gun? It'd be better.

[onebetter]

Huh. Haven't seen that, but it should be doable...

[ There's a short pause here as he mulls it over. ]

With runes, you'd have to put a lot of effort into tiny inscriptions, so something like an enchantment might work better. I know less about that though.

[lastexit]

Learn to shoot first, figure out what I shoot later.

*Why was learning things so much work. Thinks the girl who learned how to play five different musical instruments.*

Who knows, it might turn out to be as easy as figuring out the right materials to make the bullets out of. Alchemy is a thing.

[onebetter]

True. I bet people down at the Anvil already have like five different solutions ready just by default anyway. Supernatural weapons are their livelihood and all.

[lastexit]

'I need a gun that shoots magic.' is four different things I never thought I'd be asking for.

*But here she was, trying her best to help save the world. Like some sucker.*

[onebetter]

Okay, I'll bite. Gun and magic are two, what's the other two things?

[lastexit]

Guns that shoot magic, and that I need any of this.

I'm a cellist!

[onebetter]

... I hate that my first thought to this was 'well, you could probably magically modify a cello for combat.'

[ He sighs deeply. ]

God, we've been here too long.

[lastexit]

Anyone touches my Cello I'll follow them around keeping them in absolute silence for a month.

...We've definitely been here too long.

[onebetter]

Let's rephrase it positively: we've adjusted well to our campus experience.

... yeah.

[lastexit]

I guess getting used to this is better than the alternatives...

*As all the alternatives are bad.*

[onebetter]

You're turning into a regular optimist.
