Will you or won't you

[attheclocktower]

Characters: Anybody and everybody
Setting: Floor 1, before noon
Summary: Riki's offered a way to help keep the Tower powered a little longer. Obviously this is going to cause a lot of discussion and debate so let's CONSOLIDATE
Warnings: Nothing as of yet. Possibly eventually, so keep an eye on subject lines and I 'll try to change to reflect any developments

[No doubt Riki's announcement would be polarizing, but the instructions themselves were clear: Floor 1 at noon if you want to help out. And if you want to meet people, try to talk them in or out of it? Or hell, maybe even just talk about the revelation on who is behind those explosions? Well, this is as good a place as any for that too.

Just remember to be careful near the staircase]

That's right. If we ever fight in a battle together, I want you to know so it won't distract you. However, it doesn't have any bullets. Its only use is to give me stimulus to summon my Personas.

[To make it easier to summon his Persona, it triggers his life preservation instincts. There might be more to it, but it's the main gist of the mechanism.]

[megazero_to_superhero]

Stimulus ... right.

[Well, he's not going to judge. At least his gut feeling about the bullets was on the money.]

Guess if it did, you'd be in da same position as me right now ...

[evokingfool]

[He looks at David, raising a brow.]

The same position?

[megazero_to_superhero]

[David pats the Vanguard "Redding" rifle that's currently holstered to a thigh mount.]

Almost anything I can do in a fight needs ammo, an' da admins left all dat out when dey brought me here.

[evokingfool]

Ah... Do you know how to fight with another weapon?

[Minato do respect people's marksmanship. But it's another matter if they can't use their equipments for any reason.]

[megazero_to_superhero]

[David shakes his head.]

Outside of firearms? Not really. I did pick up dis sword from dem ugly goons dat look like dey had a tour of a combine harvester, but all's I know about swords is "swing as hard as you can an' hope you hit somethin' with it."

[evokingfool]

...You should try learning how to use it. There's some fighters where who can teach you how to use a sword.

Otherwise, what about unarmed combat?

[megazero_to_superhero]

Not good at dat either. 'Bout all I can do is throw a punch.

[David holds up one of his hands in front of him, in a way that might look like he was checking a watch.]

I do got tasers built into da wrist parts here, but dey're da dart-usin' kind. More ammo I don't have.

[evokingfool]

Which means learning how to fight can help you in the long term. You'd never know if you're completely unarmed and you only have your own body to rely on.

[His main motivation, really, behind keeping up his training in case his Personas got cut off.]

[megazero_to_superhero]

Yeah, got a point. I've been hearin' about some guys I'm gonna try an' seek out. Like dis one Irish guy, name's Deer-mud.

[Romeo had told David about Diarmuid last month a few weeks ago.]

Who else do ya know dat can teach me about swordfightin'?

[evokingfool]

{Think, think, think...]

There are some teachers... The one I remember is Diarmuid. He can teach swordsmanship and spear using.

[megazero_to_superhero]

Same guy, right? Or are dere two of 'em here?

[David's no stranger to alternate dimension doubles. Or clones.]

An' do ya know how I can get in touch with 'em, either way? Like, does he have some favorite hangouts?

[evokingfool]

You can send him a message over the network. He might have a mailbox, but I don't know his number.

[His own training was with someone else, oops.]

I don't know him personally, just my friend.

[megazero_to_superhero]

Arright, I'll drop 'em a line first chance I get. Or give 'em a ring, whichever. Definitely gonna look into it, though. At dis rate da Tower's gonna come crashin' down da second I get my hands on some good ammo.

[It might even be a sign of the apocalypse!]

[evokingfool]

...Just make sure to give the rest of us a warning if you do.

[THEY MIGHT WANT TO NOT DIE FROM THAT KIND OF DEATH]

[megazero_to_superhero]

Heh, I was thinkin' more about dat countdown dan—you know.

[evokingfool]

...Ah, right.

[HEY MAN, SOME THINGS CAN BE A MISS OR HIT FOR THIS GUY.]
