Pistol, generally, but a musket ain't half bad either.

[ringleadering]

[ More the ancient style of weaponry, then. ]

Since I suppose this is a thing now - what time/place are you from?

[unbridles]

[Wow, bro, 'ancient' is like spears, okay? Rude.]

Sure is. [He's picking up one of the sidearms, inspecting it idly.] Last time I was home, it was 1782 in South Carolina.

[ringleadering]

[ Spears moved from the ancient category to the prehistoric one.

1782? Talk about confusing. ]

What was your world like? Might be like my own, just earlier.

[unbridles]

We were finishin' up fightin' a war for our independence. I was in South Carolina gettin' the last of the Brits out. [He sounds like he's from South Carolina, too, judging by the accent.]

[ringleadering]

[ Seemed about right given the man's insistence on the time period he arrived from. The accent really helped things along as well. With a nod of his head, he tried to wrap his mind around the constant odd situations. ]

You were a soldier then?

[unbridles]

Sure was. [He's actually still in uniform, though it's been a bit patched and stitched over, mostly because he hates the ones the Atroma offer. Old habits die hard.]

Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens. Pleased to meet ya.

[ringleadering]

[ while the name sounded familiar, he decided to look past it for the time being. besides, things were never as they seemed lately. ]

We can train up everybody together. Make sure everyone knows how to defend themselves.

[unbridles]

Yeah, sure. I don't think too many people on our ship have that problem, though, you've seen the captain, right?

[ringleadering]

Can't always count on someone else bein' round to help. What if we all got separated?

[unbridles]

Good point. Guess we could look into it.

[ringleadering]

Won't hurt to have more people ready for anythin' that can happen. Might make 'em feel more comfortable.
