Alice: Wicked! What type of stuff is your favorite to make!
Dawne: I’m best at swords and daggers, but I’ve managed to make a couple bows and cross bows. I’m also very well versed in shields, except in hers. nods to Krista
Krista: Your fault for trusting me with it!
Dawne: You took it while I was making it.
Krista: Okay, maybe it’s my fault.
Rick: nods, impressed. Do you work with guns at all? I'm not sure how common those are where you come from…
Alice: I have a machine gun!
Rick: A machine gun? Sweet! turning to Dawne Oh, you don't have 'em at all? Well, they're kinda like a bow and arrow but they shoot little bits of metal usin' firepower and they're real dangerous. He shows his shotgun proudly
Rick: A machine gun? Sweet! turning to Dawne Oh, you don't have 'em at all? Well, they're kinda like a bow and arrow but they shoot little bits of metal usin' firepower and they're real dangerous. He shows his shotgun proudly
Dawne: nodding So… it’s a less stealthy crossbow that shoots bolts?
Krista: Not less stealthy, just… louder and explosive. Man, Milo will love this.
Alice: Yup! There's a slight whirr of sound as the skin of her right arm unpeels and a huge machine gun unfolds from it.
Krista immediately is in the air, hissing at the weapon protruding from Alice
Rick: does a double take Uhh….yeah, like that, although I ain't ever seen one attached to a person before. How come you've got a gun in your arm, if ye don't mind my asking?
Alice: I'm a robot of sorts, I was born as a nymph but I died and was basically made a robot.
Rick: Oh….wow, that's….cool. Sounds like quite the experience to go through, I gotta say!
Alice: It was sucky, I'm not going to explain more about it if that was your next question.
Rick: No no, I sure don't mean to pry. I mean we are total strangers and all. Scratches back of head. Havin' a big ol' gun in your arm sounds useful. Especially if you're an assassin type.
Alice: It is, I also have a few other places where daggers and darts are stored.
Rick: Yeah? You can never have too many. What kind of jobs do you do, then? I'm always a little excited to meet people in lines of work similar to my own, you understand.
Alice: Hmm, assassinations, mostly. I also sometimes serve as a body guard for our actual gang leader.
Rick: Nice. I have to pretty much take whatever work I can find these days, but it's not so bad that I've had to pick up a second income yet. By the way, just throwin' it out there–if your gang ever needs an extra guy in a fight, I'm pretty experienced and willing, and I'll be in the area for a few weeks. winning smile
Aubree: Yo sorry guys, must've slipped into another time pocket. If you all are looking for some training grounds they're right this way. points right to several acres worth of dummies targets and lots of weapons and I love daggers too!
Aubree: And no trouble guys, this is open to everyone.
Milo: Stop being so happy
Aubree: You're just jealous that I have cool leg braces that help me use my legs.
Milo: No
Aubree: Well then I'm going to tell my everybody to paint your face yellow and pink till you cheer up
Aubree: this is a safe haven for all people, especially if they don't like the government. We have cookies! Also there's gonna be a rendezvous with Kaya (the director of this place) and a bunch of other people to trade and make a game plan for the next counterattack in Trell.
Someone peeks out behind Alice, they resemble her a bit but are obviously much younger. They look around shyly before focusing their gaze on Aubree.
???: Cookies?
Aubree: only the best. Want some? holds out plate of cookies
Alice: This is my little sister Kai! Quietly If you hurt her I will burn every one of you then burn the ashes.
Kai: Can I?
Aubree: of course honey! To Alice I've got siblings myself, I will help you burn this place to the ground if she gets hurt.
Alice: Good. To Kai Go ahead, try some and tell me if they're yummy!
Kai: Okay sissy!
