[It's been a while since he last used this thing and in that time, he's explored, poked his nose around and gotten attacked by some weird rodents. And while some of the people here are adapting, Wolfwood is... Not. Oh, joy of joys. You'd think he'd be used to things not going his way by now.

There's an edge to his voice when he turns on the device and speaks.]

So, lemme get a few things straight. Just to make sure I'm not missing out on some of the finer details.

We get pulled here. No warning, no notice, no nothing. They give us some fancy tech and a place to sleep, tell us we gotta fight but they take away our weapons and powers. If you want your powers back, you've gotta work for them, but if you want weapons you've gotta settle for whatever crap they've got stocked up in the armory.

And on that topic, since it looks like something out of a storybook about princes and dragons and crap in there, I'm guessing the chance of finding an actual weapon that will, y'know, be useful is pretty slim. When I asked that smith guy if he knew how to make guns, he handed me some pistol that I'm pretty sure counts as an old Earth relic.

[Wolfwood takes a deep, steadying breath here. When he speaks again, his tone isn't quite as provoking but the anger is still there.]

Look, I get it. Desperate times and desperate measures and all that crap. But just because I understand it doesn't mean I ain't pissed. I was done and you assholes... [He stops himself; you can almost hear him running his hand over his face as he mutters his next line.] Lord, grant me patience because I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

Yep, dat be 'bout da gist of it.

And just cuz joo don't know how to use a weapon don't mean it be useless.

[terroristpriest]

You're right. They're useless because they're outdated.

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

Really now? I would t'ink all da corpses I left behind would disagree wid jah.

[terroristpriest]

Yeah, must've done a real number on those rat things.

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

Nah my torch handled dat well 'nuff. Course stickin' a flammin' rabbit corpse at da end of my sword really helped t'ings.

[terroristpriest]

So you had a barbeque. Great.

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

Can't let good meat like dat go to waste.

[terroristpriest]

That's... A long story.

[believeslegends.livejournal.com]

S'not like we're going anywhere. So you fought a lot back home, huh?

audio

[terroristpriest]

I fought enough, yeah.

[believeslegends.livejournal.com]

So then you didn't have much trouble with any of that.

[terroristpriest]

What're you getting at?

[shocksanglocks.livejournal.com]

[No.

No. Oh Mar, it can't be true.]

There aren't any guns?

[terroristpriest]

Ah, didn't say that. Just that the ones they got are... Kinda crap.

[shocksanglocks.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's okay then. I bet with a little work and a good sweat, I could get some top notch weapons out of those things!

[terroristpriest]

Yeah? You mean that?

[shocksanglocks.livejournal.com]

Well of course! Why would I joke around with something like guns?

[terroristpriest]

Dunno. Just seems like most people around here are treating this like a big joke.

How long do you think it'd take you to get situated enough to make some real weapons?

Late, sorry!

[bellator-lucis.livejournal.com]

The weapons that are being provided seem much the same and no less effective than the ones I was using before I arrived here.

[His voice is noticeably cool. Your attitude does not impress him.]

no problem! my bad for the late response.

[terroristpriest]

So, what? You're a swordsman?

[He's not even trying to hide his distaste. Dude isn't a big fan, apparently.]

Re: no problem! my bad for the late response.

[bellator-lucis.livejournal.com]

I am.

[Are you questioning his choice of weaponry? B|]

[terroristpriest]

Figures.

[Maybe. Just a little. Okay, definitely.]

[bellator-lucis.livejournal.com]

[Take a deep breath, Warrior.]

Is there some reason for your prejudice against bladed weapons?

[Since you dismissed everything in the armory.]

[terroristpriest]

You mean besides that they're second rate?

[Hey, he can't help it if he prefers guns. Can help being an ass about it, though.]
