Mm. Chaos breaks out at times.

These people here, dancing, weaponless... they wouldn't be ready for it.

[That's precisely his point, really.

Chaos always happens.]

Order won't matter to the people who die. Unprepared.

[bryces_pup]

Just because they don't carry weapons doesn't mean they aren't able to defend themselves. And who says they are all weaponless?

[Riona reaches under her dress and after a minute of fiddling, pulls out a dagger.]

[theroadwarrior]

[HMMMM.

....

DISAPPROVAL.]

You need a gun. Can work on getting you one.

[bryces_pup]

[Andraste's ass, Max. You're impossible to please.]

Tried them, don't like them. A dagger will do.

[theroadwarrior]

You're not supposed to like guns. Once you do, you're a lost cause.

[He quirks a brow.]

I could show you, find one better suited for you.

Dagger doesn't amount to much if someone's aiming at you from across a room.

[bryces_pup]

But they have that awful - what is it called, "kick"? To them. A weapon shouldn't do that to its owner. It's bad enough someone else is trying to knock you down in a fight. And ordinarily I have a shield, but it's a bit much to lug to parties like these.

[theroadwarrior]

[Hmm. He's suddenly very focused, thoughtful, contemplating.]

Could modify for you; you're not used to a kick, is all. Any weapon can turn on its owner if its not practiced. Needs adjustments. Could get you something small; peashooter, maybe one of the guns with no kick. Future technology, hnn -- provides weapons without it.
