[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.

@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.

[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?

PEOPLE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE

YOU DON'T ALWAYS THINK YOU CAN

OR EXPECT IT

BUT EVEN AFTER THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF LIVING

SOMETIMES SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT CHANGES WHAT YOU KNOW

WHEN YOU DIDN'T EVEN IMAGINE BEFORE THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING NEW TO KNOW

WHAT I MEAN IS

I'LL ASK AGAIN NEXT MONTH

🤣

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.

[saudadist]

[ He is so lucky she doesn't have her psychic katana tentacle hands anymore... ]

whatever
knock it off

I've been practicing with my weapons for months
I know how to use them

[soft_shelled]

No, I know I won't budge on this.

I don't like squishy things.

[He's got texture issues, Gigan!]

[soft_shelled]

Knock what off? It's true, Big Mama is like... Bigger than Godzilla? And she's tried to kill me and my brothers multiple times.

[He, of course, means how big Godzilla is here. Not Godzilla's normal size.]

And I repeat, doesn't mean you can't get hurt.

[saudadist]

[ Big Mama...she's curious and yet she also doesn't want to ask. ]

I practice gun safety and I go to the range regularly

if you keep doubting me and my skills without actually seeing what I'm capable of
then you're just gonna make me mad

[heir_conditioned]

No I mean beautifying a weapon. Maybe you could find some sort of art you enjoy until you see your brother again? Unless he's here?

[kaizou]

HUH REALLY

BUT YOU ARE A SQUISHY THING

[soft_shelled]

[Learn about the spider business lady, Kaede.]

Again, you can be the safest person ever. Doesn't mean you won't get hurt.

So I'm not doubting anything here, I'm merely stating a fact.

[soft_shelled]

None of my family is here.

[Just going to focus on that instead of the whole beautifying a weapon part.]

[soft_shelled]

And? It's not like I have to touch the squishy bits of myself.

[saudadist]

you said you can't see me handling the kickback then said you didn't want to see me get hurt

like you expected it to happen

sounds like doubt to me

[donutsanddonots]

I supposed your form of asking now does circumvent that issue...

How about this. I do in-fact, own a fire arm. I've been worried about it since it took an unfortunate uh... dip in Rift-affected waters during the last month.

I'll allow you to take it apart and look it over- Only, and only if I'm allowed to supervise.

[Unlike other sankta, he's not particularly emotionally attached to his patron firearm. Its just a gun. A weapon. He would prefer he didn't lose it. It was efficient and he knew it well. But therefore- It'd be better to get it inspected by somebody who might know more outside of his practical use knowledge. It seemed fine to him. But if he were back home in Laterano he'd turn it in to the Firearm review sector to make sure it was completely alright.]

[soft_shelled]

More like being prepared for the worst.

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.

[soft_shelled]

And you didn't give it a detailed dressing as soon as you could? Because it's possible that parts you can't access could have corrosion from water over time?

[As to the request, well.]

But yeah, you can supervise. I'll have to get a blow dryer though, in case there is still water on the parts, to dry it out.

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.

[saudadist]

then get the healing implant and kiss it better when it happens or something idk

[ She's joking but it's probably...not the best...time. ]

[kaizou]

WHAT

OF COURSE YOU DO

[soft_shelled]

What, are you saying you want me to kiss you?

[Jokes are hard over text!]

[soft_shelled]

Not with my hands.

[saudadist]

[ DAMN HE DOESN'T GET IT, ABORT! ABORT! ]

I was joking

[donutsanddonots]

I did yes, after the kaiju battle ended... It looks fine enough to my eyes, but I'll readily admit there's a limit to my knowledge. I wouldn't mind having another pair of eyes double check.

Sounds good. If we don't have ready blow-dryers, I can pick one up. I'm out at the moment- When would be a good time to meet up for this?
