blackbladebitch: (not going to like this am i?)

[Elric is in his room. The door's open; he's already been out and had a look around. He looks quite ridiculous in the jumpsuit, but doesn't seem to care much. He holds up the gun thoughtfully provided him by the Admiral. He's got it by the right end, but it's clear from his expression and the way he's got the thing in his hand that he's never used one before and does not like it at all.]

Would one of you be good enough to show me how to use this ... object?

[Feel free to spam Elric up. Also, High Fantasy Team of Fail is welcome to meet up here.]

[Ardent is next door, and peering out his door, after having spent most of his time so far constructing a hood out of what was left of his human sized overalls. He walks down the corridor and peers in,]

I've... only seen those that Roundworlders have on board. I don't know what to do with them.

spam - oh gods no

[Elric looks up and holds the gun in a way that would make any gun-safety expert scream in horror—the barrel pointing right at Ardent. Luckily for everyone, his finger is not on the trigger.]

It is a weapon, is it not?

[Ardent has seen enough guns in his time on board the Barge to know what's dangerous, and he takes a step behind the frame of the door,] It is. It fires small projectile missiles. I've only seen Kay and my former warden have, or use, one."

[Elric peers down the barrel.]

And yet it is so small. The longbows of Phum are as tall as a man; I cannot see how something that would fit in my pocket could fire anything with great force.

I don't understand it either, I've just seen it happen. Trust me.

[He shrugs and tucks it into the waistband of his suit.]

Well, perhaps someone will be generous enough with their time to provide a demonstration. Have you any idea what else we should be doing here? Are all ports this ... inexplicable?

[Ardent shrugged,] There's plenty of people from the Roundworld who will know and explain, I'm sure.

[He was now wondering why he hadn't got one.]

The two ports since I've arrived have been in modern, Roundworld times, from what I'm told. They didn't need much explaining, unless you were alien to it. [Like he was. He frowned, and gave his make-shift hood a tug.]

Roundworld? [He shrugs.] It is all alien to me; my world is so far removed from that of the others that it might as well be legend. Another such world is no great burden.

I don't know what this one is, yet. I'm not sure I want to find out, but it's certainly not the Disc.

I can show you! I've seen how they work in movies.

Um. They're these pictures that move and tell a story.

From: [identity profile] blackbladebitch.livejournal.com
Ah. Well, have you seen or handled one of these things yourself? Or merely seen them in the moving pictures?

I've only seen them in the moving pictures.
From: [identity profile] blackbladebitch.livejournal.com
Then you may forgive me if I seek someone with more practical experience.

Yeah. I know how. [She shows him her gun as well. Buffy looks at it briefly, then sets it back down, a look of slight worry on her face. What did she get herself into by going into port?]

Guns? So not good. Since something took my Scythe, I'm guessing that's all we get to defend ourselves. As a rule? I don't use them. I hate those things. [She gives her gun a glare.]

[Grumpily:] I should much prefer a sword. Even a bow would suffice, but 'tis a sword would put me most at ease.

[Shrug, slight frown.] Find something sword-like. This place is pretty bare, but there's always something you can use as a weapon.

From: [personal profile] darknessb4me
You pull the trigger and it misses the target, makes a loud noise, and pulls everything hostile that's not deaf within a fifty-yard radius onto you. Then they all tear you apart while you're trying to reload it.

You can blow big holes in people with the regular ones, though. Hurts.

It seems a most inefficient weapon. Perhaps we shall find others eventually that are less hazardous.

I know the basics, I could show you if you like. Can't say how well I'd be able to show you how to aim. Guns aren't my preferred weapon in the least.

I would be most grateful, sir. I do not believe that we have formally met.
From: [identity profile] bybloodandhonor.livejournal.com
It would be no problem and I don't believe we have met either. My name is Tirion Fordring.
