[Ah the seasons are changing, and even with the work on Kyoto to do? Donnie is getting restless, and really he needs something more to focus on. Something to keep him busy. So he's going to address the Outsiders with an inquiry.]

So, how many people use guns here? And how many of you don't know how to field or detail dress them?

[Donatello, you need to say why you're asking this.]

What I'm asking is well, I need something to keep my hands busy, so I am offering to do any dressing of guns for anyone who needs it done. Or doesn't want to do it themselves?

Also I've been helping around the current base, that's not exactly enough okay.

I've got eight guns

[soft_shelled]

That's eight too many.

[Whoops, also even though his first meeting of Kaede involved her having a gun? He still just, kinda memory holed it. Thus the comment.]

[saudadist]

shut the hell up

they're for any type of enemy
some higher caliber than others

[soft_shelled]

I can't see you being able to handle the kickback of higher caliber weaponry.

[saudadist]

just say you want a demonstration, dickhead

@IcyHot

[heir_conditioned]

Why would you dress a gun?

[soft_shelled]

Dressing a gun is taking it apart to clean and maintain the pieces so it doesn't malfunction.

Field dressing is doing so without the use of tools, and is usually the easiest method to do so and also tends to be able to do the job one needs to do anyway. Detail dressing is using tools to do it, and can sometimes get at parts that you can't with a field dressing.

[You have activated Donnie's tech babble mode.]

[heir_conditioned]

[Bless him for being honest, however he's going to have to out babble the mutter king in Shoto's life if this gentleman wants the title.]

Oh. So it has nothing to do with fashion. I thought at first you were making them custom items. I don't have guns but I thought it was interesting sounding. The alternative seems interesting too.

[soft_shelled]

Oh, you don't want me to do anything like that. My art skills are nil.

WANNA PUT A GUN ON ME

[gigan stop trying to get donatello to give you surgery challenge failed AGAIN]

[soft_shelled]

Then ask LILITH to do it? Because I'm not.

[Medical science is not one of his fields, Gigan!!!]

[kaizou]

NO IT WAS A QUESTION

DO YOU WANNA

BUT I GUESS THAT'S A NO

TOO BAD

[soft_shelled]

I'm pretty sure I told you I don't work on living things?

[donutsanddonots]

Uh, aren't there safer ways to keep your hands busy? There's plenty of tech around that you could probably harmlessly borrow outside of weaponry.

[No he's not going to mention that he does have a gun. And that it functions differently from most firearms here. His nonsense senses tell him that would be a bad idea.]

[soft_shelled]

My job is tinkering with tech... My not LILITH job, I mean.

[His civvie job is Geek Squad, he gets enough tech tinkering there.]

I need something with fiddly pieces, I... get like this once a year, okay?

[donutsanddonots]

Ah. So you're seeking out more interesting tech than coffee brewers and defective computers I'm guessing?

[The less silly tone of his response causes Richele to pause...]

LILITH has been handing out some more weapons for us to test.. have you tried your hands at any of those yet?

[soft_shelled]

Basically.

[Also he's trying to nip his restlessness in the bud. Back home he has a lab all to himself, so that outlet is gone here.]

I tend to not stray from my usual weaponry, also wouldn't it be bad form if I was in the middle of taking one apart or putting it back together and someone else needed it?

@gelato (excuse me while I pretend to know things about guns when my guy absolutely would)

[sanktawithashotgun]

My patron firearm might suffice. It is a shotgun. I have field dressed it but I think it could benefit from a detail dressing, which I do not have the tools for.

I have just arrived in this world. I would like to make sure it is fully operational after being transported in an unknown way.

me: furiously googling this shit over here. :|b

[soft_shelled]

A shotgun, huh. I can give it a go, and or I can provide you the tools if you'd prefer?

[He'd just ninpo them up, and since this guy called it his "patron" firearm Donnie has a hunch it's important so he wouldn't want to mess it up.]

And hey, welcome. Apparently this place gets better.

youtube and random BS GO

[sanktawithashotgun]

[Having the tools would suffice...and it would put Federico's mind at ease to have the activity to do. But he's...wondering if that's what this Bootyyyshaker9000 is hoping for too.]

I think there is some benefit to having it looked over by someone else. I'm aware firearms from my world work differently than here, so the tools could also be different.

[It's alright Donnie. Fedi isn't really the most sentimental or religious sankta. He'll find other weapons if something happens to this one.]

Thank you. Does it? I have been here once before, and it has. In fact. Gotten worse since.

we don't need to be 100% accurate, it's cyberpunk guns after all!

[soft_shelled]

[Honestly, if Federico told Donnie what the tools he needed looked like? he could probably make what is needed no problem.]

Ah, I'm more used to 21st century earth firearms. So it could be best that if you do let me look it over you might what to watch? Just so I don't mess it up.

[Donnie knows how it is to have a weapon you're used to. He was pretty attached to his tech-bo before it got destroyed and he shifted to just a regular wooden bo staff.]

So I've been told, yeah.

[powderkegs]

Did someone say ✨ guns ✨ ?

[soft_shelled]

More like wrote, but yes.

[powderkegs]

tomato tomahto.

I use guns allll the time. I'm an expert.

So how good are you?

[soft_shelled]

I am able to create the equivalent of a battleship armament with my mystic tech.

Or I used to, I'm very limited here in how big I can make things.

But yeah, I know some stuff.
