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...

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.
