[ Snipe the monster with a rifle and if it gets too close it can double as a bat. ]
Ken? He's... I don't know.
[ Not paranoid in the sense that everybody's out to get him, that's not the impression that Ayabe gets. But the kid definitely doesn't trust easily— which is smart, all things considered. ]
[ There had better not be bayonets because sometimes Missile sleeps over with Ken and Ayabe won't allow sharp point things around a dog whose body parts are liable to fall off at any given moment. ]
What... should be in my room?
[ He asks suspiciously like he should know?? but doesn't know, is there a trap ]
[ Listen when I asked the mods they told me it's mostly old shit there and that modern stuff is hard to find. Until they tell me no bayonets we can't discount the possibility. ]
Oh. I wonder if that was a last week only thing...
[ unless he didn't get anything after tutorial trial in which case damn she just sounded really cryptic for no reason lmao ]
Didn't you find anything on top of your bed last week? Or did you hear about anyone else finding something like that?
[ I know nothing about gun antiquity and also Ayabe did not get anything after tutorial trial because I was afk for the last hour or so and forgot to vote entirely, mod generosity is the only reason he didn't shrivel up and die u_u ]
Babo Kim's sword, I guess? He said he found it in his room that isn't his— the one he was supposed to share with Ling and Haruka but it's vacant now.
[ Jfc can you imagine Ayabe just shriveling up like a raisin after tutorial. It was all the rats, clearly. But she finishes toying with the handgun and puts it away for now- somewhere. There's a lot of places a lady in a nice dress can hide things, right? Just ask Agent. ]
I think Horikawa's sword might be something similar. You know, the one he was wearing against his back? And, ah... Lio? Was complaining the other day about how other people got swords...
[ It was Lio, it was when he was accidentally nearly shanking people with flying gardening equipment. ]
So I'm sure some of the others here must have gotten something similar, too. They're just quieter about it.
[ lmfao these are super powerful wererats who can control both poison and water, yeah
45 gets a bit of a sideeye at keeping the gun, but he doesn't say anything about it. People keeping weapons on them is dangerous, but the argument can be made that anything could be a weapon. And with magical transforming bullshit, you don't need a gun or sword to kill; it would make more sense to keep something to defend against that. ]
That was Horikawa's sword, then? Ash also got some sort of axe-like weapon back, and...
[ oh ]
...Personal things, so wonder they're quieter about it. I haven't gotten anything, but I don't carry around a weapon on the regular either. What about you?
[ Listen, 45 practices good gun safety, she doesn't know about anyone else here. And who knows, maybe the gun is empty. Maybe she can bluff someone with it. ]
Well, I can't say for sure, but it would make sense. It's not like a sword room popped up overnight.
[ But she hums, lilting and deliberate. ]
Haha. I think I'd get quite a lot of attention if I carried what I received around on a regular basis.
[ He's worrying about it??? Mauyn, I'm crying, my placeholder vote before we learned anything in trial was 45 for the sole reason that she must be the only person who could snipe a chandelier chain with a gun. ]
Not unless the deer were directly in your face it isn't. ♪
It's used mostly for close combat, like rescuing hostages in tight quarters. The bullets won't go through the walls, or anything you don't want them to, really.
[ finally: ]
It is not in the least useful for anything requiring long range or penetration.
[ so Card I hope you realize that the very idea of 45 sniping the chandelier made me laugh like a goddamn hyena for a variety of reasons. ]
What did you think would happen if the an armed force were to try to subdue criminals or capture someone in a crowded building using weapons that could punch through walls?
[ that defeats the entire point of trying to save any would-be hostages if they get killed by friendly fire because a policeman or SWAT team didn't have x-ray vision or something? ]
[ Can you imagine if the weapon Ayabe chose was a gun and he had to kill Dazai the same way, by hugging him and shooting him from behind? I could have made the bullet pass through and hit Ayabe too and then 45 would give up on him entirely and leave him for dead, this was the thought that ran through my head when I chose a sword. ]
So then you'd want a short ranged gun, but not a very strong one. One with rubber bullets?
[ 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. ]
