[A gun, a real handgun. It wasn't a revolver, but it was close enough to something real that she didn't care. She stoops down to pick it up, examining it carefully.]

So this is our final battle, is it?

[She doesn't expect an answer, not really. Ocelot doesn't even know if this is going to be a successful assault, but the battle with Riki went well enough, she supposes.]

How much ammunition does it have in it, do you wager?

[midgarhorizon]

Looks that way.

[Reno studies the gun she chose. A standard issue army handgun with a clip.]

Each one has fifteen. [Then, he picks up three more magazines that had been sitting beside the one she chose.]

This's all I got for that one. If the battle goes on for a while like Zo made it sound like, make 'em count.

[notayoungkitten]

[Fifteen. It should be more than enough, if they are successful at disabling Ruana's powers. Before then, the gun will be useless and possibly something to use against her, but she'll worry about that when the battle starts.]

That's more than enough. You have my gratitude.

[midgarhorizon]

No problem. Need a belt to put the extra clips in?

[He's got one or two.]

[notayoungkitten]

I do, actually. That will do nicely.

[Since the belt she had been wearing had never been real to begin with. It was unfortunate, but now she was prepared for an actual battle.]

[midgarhorizon]

[He picks up a bandolier from a small collection next to the firearms.]

This one should work. You can wear it either around the shoulder or waist.

[notayoungkitten]

[She takes it, her expression tight, but showing the barest traces of a smile.]

You have my thanks.
