[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.

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.]

[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.

[heir_conditioned]

Have you ever tried? You could try with small things. I don't mean clothing like I did originally, but you don't have to have art skills to know what you like the look of.

[soft_shelled]

Tried art? Yeah, I have. It was not good, also it's my baby brother's thing. I don't want to overstep.

[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?

[soft_shelled]

None of my family is here.

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

[heir_conditioned]

I see, I'm sorry. None of mine came with me either. Is it impolite to ask about your family?

[soft_shelled]

It's not. I don't mind talking about them after all.

[heir_conditioned]

How many siblings do you have? All brothers or just you and your baby brother? All of my siblings are older.

[soft_shelled]

I have my older brother, my twin and then my younger brother. So altogether there are four of us, all boys yes.

... oh and there's April, she's like a sister and she's the oldest.

This sent me down such a welcome rabbit hole you have no idea LOL

[heir_conditioned]

A twin? I almost had twin, but it sounds like you have a lively family. Did you all grow up together as well?

oh no?

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, Leonardo. And I guess so? But yeah we grew up together, me and my brothers, it's not like we had anyone else until we met April.

Yeah! I was so excited to see this character, lots of good memories.

[heir_conditioned]

That's an interesting name, I haven't known someone with that name before. The other names? I'm enjoying learning about your family if it's alright with you. Not the topic that we started with, but I like hearing about other people's families.

haha well glad to bring up good memories!

[soft_shelled]

Is it? There's Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello (me) and Michelangelo. And it's fine, my family is a good topic.

Yes! They were good memories, that's certain. Thank you actually.

[heir_conditioned]

It is. Even more that you're named after famous painters. None of my siblings are. Just so I'm sure, do you have a hero commission in your world? It would be interesting to find out if there were worlds that had some of the same historical figures, but not the same world. Unless you're actually them somehow.

/thumbsup

[soft_shelled]

No, no heroes outside of fiction and I guess my brothers and I. And no, we're not artists, except Mikey he loves to do art. Also it was 2020 back home, so long past when they lived.
