[ When will 45 gun everybody down. I hope the endgame condition is simply total body count again so she can go on a murder spree and get herself out of here. ]
It depends on how we're held here and how the hypothetical simulation functions, but in theory...
Our memories would just be- data. Stored information that could be accessed and transmitted as signals, or simply copied or modified such that others could read the data at will. And you'd process that as seeing someone else's memories, so...
[ So... okay. This is going to continue being his leading theory, then, because it's infinitely better than vengeful ghosts pulling the strings. ]
So there's no rhyme or reason to it- the memories. Just things we're thinking of, or... are important and we subconciously think about them. But they don't have to mean anything.
[ listen even Julius at the end was just "IF THE POINT WAS TO KILL EVERYONE WHY DID THEY JUST TELL US SOONER" alas he got corrupted before he could expedite that. ]
...it's the caliber of the bullet. How big it is, in other words.
[ raises her hand. puts her thumb and index finger just a little less than a half inch apart. ]
You just need something that's the right size and is designed to actually be ammunition. The UMP45 doesn't have to be lethal.
[ To this day I keep staring at the GFL timeline, putting together the time markers and explicit mentions of "exactly a year ago" and staring at my hands going 'everything happens so fast, what do you mean it's only been [redacted] years.' So thanks, Hori, for aging everyone. ]
Yes. Or. If that bothers you, then we have swordsmen here too. Ones clearly familiar with the type of injuries bladed weapons leave on a human body.
[ I'm crying, Hisoka tried to tell Minato so early on but Minato just looked at his note and went "haha, oh, Hisoka" and put it away. That note should have gone to anybody else. ]
Is that true for any of the guns here? As long as a bullet fits inside a gun, it can be shot out of it?
No, it's... not whether it bothers me. That sort of thing should be for others to decide, for themselves especially.
[ When it comes down to it, they're the ones volunteering, so does the comfort of everybody else matter? They're doing people like Ayabe a favor, so nobody has to be forced to kill when they aren't capable. ]
[ He's quiet at first, because he's uncomfortable with anything revolving around death. Of course he would be. He's never had it shoved into his face like this before. ]
...I don't. Nobody wants to kill. You're offering for other people's sake. I think more of you, not less.
Kiiind of? It's a little oversimplified, but yes, it's not like each gun only has its own special kind of round all to itself.
A lot of different handguns and pistols might be chambered for the same, say ... .9x19mm Luger, after all. I can't say that this is the case for every gun here- maybe Master Blue has a few special order, custom items with who knows what design specifications- but otherwise...
[ did you know they make fake bullets with colored powder in the casing for paintball-esque simulated training. ]
A squad shrouded in mystery. ▓▓▓▓▒ has met them once, and others can only guess at the members' identities from rumors. Members of the squad all have advanced AI and high capacity for independent operation. Rumor has it that Squad 404 usually deals with ░▓▒▓▓▓▒▓▓▒▒▒░░

Date: 2020-03-16 06:09 am (UTC)Silly. They make rubber bullets in .45 ACP. You can chamber my gun with whichever you like, depending on what job you want to get done.
[ Does Ayabe think there's a specific gun meant only to fire rubber bullets or something. ]

Try your best anyway.

Funny. That's the opposite of what I might have expected. Not everyone would see it that way.
