When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

If you say so.

Need some company, then? Help keep them away.

[She does not seem to even care about Ino kicking a guy while he's down.]
ino: (Drinking.)

[ She glances over to Nightingale for a moment, before taking a sip of her drink ]

Sure, if you want to.

[That pause worries her, but it's probably nothing...]

I'd like to. Pre-empt that kind of attention you got.
ino: (Really~?)

[personal profile] ino 2015-09-26 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She lifts an eyebrow, looking amused now ]

I mean, if one blonde girl isn't convincing enough, I don't know how much better two of them is.

[ She shrugs, though, glancing back behind her at the other people in the bar. They're kind of glancing their way, but nobody's getting up or anything, so ... ]

Looks like they got the idea, though. For now, anyways.
experiencepoints: color by <user name=dialga> (Brought that sexy back.)

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2015-09-26 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you're sure a lot more convincing then I am.

[She gestures to the guy on the floor.]

Pretty sure I couldn't do that if I tried.
ino: (I don't get it.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-10-02 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
What, knock a guy over?
experiencepoints: (Dude sucks dick for coke I seen him.)

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2015-10-02 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Not without magic, anyway.

[Her strength stat is abysmal, it's sad.]
ino: (Let me explain.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-10-02 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm.

[ She looks at Nightingale curiously for a moment, chin in her palm. ]

You know, not to freak you out or anything, but with these places there's a very real possibility that it could modify or remove any magic or superhuman powers you might have. It wouldn't hurt to try and get some training in basic self-defense and other weapons.
experiencepoints: (Youth is not a food source.)

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2015-10-02 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
["Not to freak you out", she says, then goes on into the worst possible thing imaginable.]

Wait, what? What do you mean, modify or remove my magic?!
ino: (Pardon?)

[personal profile] ino 2015-10-02 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The last place I was at, whatever was in charge was able to take away our abilities sometimes. There were also places in that world where abilities like that were negated, for some reason. I've also met people who have the ability to temporarily block your abilities in different ways, depending on how they work exactly.

It's good to be prepared for anything, so after the first time that happened I learned how to use a gun and some other stuff so I could fight no matter what. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to do the same thing.

... The Echoes would do the same things, sometimes. So we couldn't do anything to escape the rules of whatever game was going on that time. Didn't think that happened here, too. I never even got all my spells back...

It's not much, but I can use a spear a little bit. I just don't bother with it much, since my magic is way better, and I always had a friend who could take up the physical damage when it was needed.
ino: (Looking down.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-10-03 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
It hasn't happened here in the Fleet, but that doesn't mean it won't.

[ She looks down into her glass, swirling the liquid around absently ]

Anyways, it's just my opinion, but -- it's best to be prepared for anything, 'cause you never know when the things you rely on normally might not be there.

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2015-10-03 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
You're right. Need to be more prepared... I've been getting too used to how peaceful it is here.

Think it's possible to get a spear around here?
ino: (Thoughtful.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-10-03 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
On this planet? ... Maybe, for hunting or something. I think you'd be more likely to find a pistol or something.
experiencepoints: (Lesbian senses tingling.)

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2015-10-03 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

No good. I can't use guns.
ino: (Let me explain.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-10-03 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
You could learn? There's plenty of people in the fleet who use them all the time.
experiencepoints: (pic#7281308)

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2015-10-03 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She sighs. She hates explaining this part.]

I know, but even if I was taught, I couldn't use them. It's... probably easiest to just say it's a quirk of being from my world. Normally, I can use staffs, wands, and maces, and by cutting off access to my magic, I can use a spear. I don't have any classes that can use guns unlocked.

[And now, she just has to wait for her reaction. Either she'll get annoyed that it doesn't make sense, or she'll call her world a game.]
ino: (I don't get it.)

[personal profile] ino 2015-10-03 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ She isn't exactly annoyed, just confused. ]

So if you had a gun in your hand, you just ... couldn't pull the trigger?

[personal profile] experiencepoints 2015-10-03 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
... It's oversimplifying, but close enough.
