Hah, yeah, there's always gonna be people like that. Guess you already made a few friends who'd start pryin' into your business here, huh?

Not really. One, maybe.

[Someone he met immediately after arriving here. They did fortune-telling stuff together.]

"Maybe"? Is that "maybe" to them bein' a friend or to them pryin'?

[...He has to think about it.]

Both.

So you figured it'd just be safer to turn to me for help?

Something like that.

[...Yeah.]

Why did you choose this place for it?

Gives us somethin' to stare at while we're wanderin'. Better than just sittin' around, right? I figure we did enough of that already.

[You know, while we were in time-out!!]

...Yeah.

[And for a moment it looks like that's all she wrote; give him a bit.]

I got my gun back.

[...Sir.]

[Thanks for not totally leaving him hanging here...]

Yeah? Did you bring it?

[...on a date????]

Yes...?

[...ON A DATE????]

Then let me see it already!

[this is the worst date.]

You aren't going to touch it.

[He does not part with this thing if it can be helped.]

You sure do think highly of me, huh.

[He laughs at that and shakes his head.]

Alright, alright, I won't touch it.

[He'll find it with his free hand then, u holstering it and bringing it out; it's not a very large gun, considering what it's capable of, but it's a decent size and looks like it's probably fairly heavy. Black and glossy, without any sort of sight on it and noticeably not any way to load it, either - whatever it is, it doesn't take bullets.]

People say I stole it. I don't know if I did or not.

[Considering that his guns are pretty simple (Shadow the edgehog designs aside) that makes sense!! Sometimes you just have a pretty straightforward gun and that is fine. There probably should be some sort of way to load it but you do you, Killy.

Anyway, it's definitely different from whatever the usual guns are like in Crestoria, and Vicious whistles. He does keep his hands off it, at least!!]

Can't blame you if you did! It certainly looks nice - and I'm guessin' it's still workin' properly?

[...however the hell this one is supposed to work!!]

...No. Its power works in stages. Level 1 through 4. It won't let me go beyond Level 1.

[Probably for the best, if we're going to be honest, but...]

Huh, really? Wonder why that is.

[Maybe it's a tech thing...]

But hey, at least you got it back.

Level 4 causes...damage.

[...To understate it by a lot.]

Level 1 should be strong enough for anything here.

Well, I'd hope so, since it's a gun and all.

[Jokes aside...]

You're probably right, though. This place seems too peaceful. Doubt you'll find anything you'd need even a level 2 for.

...Damage to me, not everything else.

[He's trying.]

This place is calm, though. It seems...good, compared to the villages I've seen.

It's weird.

[Not a bad weird, from the sound of it, just. Weird.]

There are a lotta tiny villages and towns that are peaceful, without much goin' on. But there's usually monsters nearby, and even if there aren't, it's not like we can go five minutes without fightin' something.

[Monsters, knights, enforcers, some random Tales character...]

It's not bad, just... really damn weird.

Yeah.

[...]

Keeps you busy, though...? Your world.

Yeah, 'course it does. Never really had any downtime like this.

[Or you know. Time to actually hang out in a city without having to wear a stupid disguise or something.]

But I'll probably get used to it eventually. Can't be any worse than the hellhole I came from!

[...Huh.]

I'm not used to it either. ...I don't know what to do here.

Come explorin' with me sometime, then. There's a lotta crazy stuff here, and we can hold hands while we're at it. Two birds, one bullet!

[oh my god.]
