[aubins]

[ seiros wept, make some noise. ]

Huh. Really? Am I stereotyping again by assuming you'd be able to handle a blade?

[probe]

[haha, no.]

Sure are. The swords are just, uh, very good irony. Irony! Ha! [stop.]

[aubins]

So you're actually just an angry pacifist?

[probe]

I absolutely would not say that I'm a pacifist.

I just don't know swords. Is that the only weapon you can possibly think of? Dream a little bigger, darling.

[aubins]

[ that makes him laugh at least. ]

It's the one I know the best. But there's... I don't know. Spears? Axes? Gauntlets? Bow and arrow?

[probe]

Gauntlets. Hah.

[they seem vaguely amused by that one.] I could do a gauntlet, but uh. Guns? Guns. Those are fun.

[aubins]

Guns?

[ what the fuck is a gun ]

[probe]

You've never heard of guns?

[well that's fine, they just pull a fucking glock out of their sleeve?]

[aubins]

[ he'd be way more concerned if he knew what a gun was. ]

I wouldn't be asking if I had. [ what is this tiny murder contraption. ]

[probe]

[okay, well, hold onto your butt, yuri, because they shoot the gun. and it is a real gun. it's very loud. rest in pieces, wall?]

[aubins]

[ consider his butt well and truly held. until he has to cover his ears at the loudness of it all. ]

What the hell-- that sounds more like a cannon.

[probe]

Haha, isn't it rad?

[they shove the gun back into their sleeve. gunsleeves.] Anyway.

[aubins]

[ where are you keeping all these guns, wrath. how big are your sleeves. ]

You can fire one of those but you can't wave a sword right. [ amazing. ]

[probe]

[many big.]

Yeah! Sometimes that's just how it works out. You could always teach me to swordfight, since you're so horny for footwork.

[aubins]

[ who let you have this much sleeve ]

Sure. I don't think I'm a great teacher, but I can make sure you won't hold the wrong part of it and hurt yourself. [ he points at the sleeve. ] As a trade off for... explaining the gun thing.

[probe]

[uwu]

Oh, good. Are you telling me you're not supposed to hold the pointy bit? News to me! [as for the gun:] What do you want to know about it? It's a little machine that shoots loud. I don't know the intricate details. It's a gun.

[aubins]

Every day's a learning day.

How to make it... do what you just did? [ teach yuri leclerc how to fire a gun, wrath. ]

[probe]

You pull the trigger.

[piglet.] I'm not going to hand you a gun to practice with, you understand.

[aubins]

It's almost like you don't trust me.

[ which, y'know. fuckin' valid.

yuri tilts his head like he's trying to remember the exact shape of the gun, and where a... trigger might even be? huh. ] And there's enough power in it to just... [ he makes

a explosion motion with his hands. jazzhands! ] From that little thing?

[probe]

You are correct, I do not.

[they nod a bit. and do fingerguns.] I told you, I don't know the specifics. Just that you shoot and it goes bang.

[aubins]

[ brutal.

but he points back. like fingerguns? except slightly Off. ] That sounds even more dangerous than just letting an arrow fly from a bow.

[probe]

You are so horny for weapons, can we talk about something else? I'm bored of weapons. Wrath is not all about weapons!

[aubins]

I'm just used to having one. And wow, that coming from the Avatar with a gun up their sleeve. [ pls?? pls. wrath. ]

But alright. What else is Wrath about then?

[probe]

I have a lot of things up my sleeves.

[they pause, thinking.] You know, it's... it's been a long time since someone has asked me that question.

[aubins]

It's a good place to hide things.

[ ... ] As much as you joke about me stereotyping you with weapons, I do know there's more to it than that. Example: I can probably figure why I'm here, if you took personality traits into account when shuffling us around into these little groups.


... Of course, if you did just pick me because I'm pretty, I understand that too.
