Week 8 - May 20th - May 24th

[cartesio]

Last Week

With the weekend's latest tragedy, a strange mood has descended over Cartesio. What happened was unprecedented, and perhaps that's why the already decreasing hostility from the townsfolk comes to a complete halt. Could it be the strange circumstances? Bolin's desperate plea? Last week's peaceful Wednesday? Some combination? Whatever the reason, it's clear that the Sergeant's iron fist around the town has loosened. While the residents aren't jumping to interact with you, there's no graffiti, no new broken windows.

Cartesio is confused...but open to explanation, for perhaps the first time.

Still, while the town seems amiable, almost accepting again, there's little to chase away the knowledge that the Sergeant's tasks for you are near their end, and that means those without medals are doomed to their fate.

Or does it? After everything that's turned around, is it possible for you to claw your way out of here as well?

Comments

[marmoron]

[...She really wasn't kidding about naming all her guns, huh. But Keith's listening, taking all of that in. The fact that she cut him loose with a knife-gun has not escaped his attention, but he is choosing not to comment on it.]

If we need more firepower, I oan put a few explosives together.

[Wow why did this not come up at the trial...]

But it looks like we're working with conventional weapons for the most part.

[Galra sword and Altean bayard aside that is. He frowns for a moment before deactivating the bayard and holding it out to Kino.]

Humor me for a second. I just want to see what kind of weapon you'd manifest.

[He's presuming it's some kind of laser gun like Lance manifests, but he figures the blasts generated by an Altean pistol or rifle may do more damage than a standard bullet.]

[quickpersuader]

Explosives aren't too hard to make if you know what you're doing... Do we still have smoke bombs from the hunting store? If not, we should get more. I can make them myself, but there's no harm in just buying them instead.

[Though when he hands over the bayard, she looks up at him quizzically, setting down her food once again to stand and reach for it--

Causing it to manifest as what seems to be some sort of rifle, as he might have expected. Kino, for her part, looks surprised - although she will hold it properly, if experimentally.]

...Is that supposed to happen?

[marmoron]

[Ah, so it is a rifle. Keith nods to Kino's question.]

Like I said, a bayard will change forms depending on who's wielding it and what's needed at the time. It should be more powerful than a conventional gun. Could be useful as back up.

[He's already got his Marmora blade and doesn't necessarily need to be fighting with dual swords. But that said, it is his bayard and irreplaceable. Not a back up option he's super keen on, truth be told.]

If it comes to that and you end up borrowing it, I'm going to need it back undamaged. It's important.

As forthe smoke bombs... yeah, I still have 'em. If you want to make more explosives, I can help with that.

[quickpersuader]

[Kino nods solemnly, turning the weapon to hand it back.]

Depends on the type of bomb we need. I've made do with pressure cookers and alarm clocks, too.
