Uldartre Academy (year 2, IC, semi-open)

[Woodstovia]

Allen blushed deeply. "I-I understand but please I really don't want to be naked, it would be so embarrassing. I couldn't be naked in the middle of lessons please reconsider miss." He begged meekly.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Of course you could be naked in the middle of lessons," Alicia snapped. "You've seen Elosqir do it all through summer, and he's not the only person. Stop being so modest and ridiculous, no one's going to comment. Oh...and you wouldn't be entirely naked. Remember your first...suggestion?"

[Woodstovia]

Allen's eyes widened "no! Please no miss I'll do anything else you want me to but please not that, I couldn't." Allen contemplated falling to his knees and begging but he couldn't bring himself to in the middle of the crowded mall.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"You shouldn't suggest things you won't do," Alicia said, slapping Allen's backside. "Anyway, all that is mine. I can do what I want with it, can't I? After all, I gave you the chance to be free, and you said no. Several times. What am I supposed to think other than that you want me to take even more control away from you?"

[Woodstovia]

"No, no please it was just a suggestion I can't do it I-I'd die of embarrasmet." Allen begged.

Josef freiherr von Schofield

"Oh, those are new? They are fairly old back home, but I'll have to show you some more while we are together in this cursed land of bounty", he said pulling out his sidearm to show him the simple pistol. "This gun for example is a Germanian favorite, 9mm parabellum, toggle-lock action, 145° angle grip, and 8 rounds at around 400 m/s. An instant classic", Josef said as he told about his old P06 pointing towards the jointed arm. "A tad bit old, but it is reliable and easy to fire, though besides with officers you probably won't ever see them in favor of newer firearms", he said holstering the pistol in his coat when he noticed Sienna.

"I see that I am not the only one who enjoys useable antiques", turning to her to admire her revolver. Josef personally hated revolvers finding them to take too long to load so he pretended to admire the thing. "Tell me about it Sienna", he said to her softly staring down at the pistol cradled in the vitriolic girls hands.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"You need to have more confidence in your ideas," Alicia chided. "It was a wonderful idea. Oh...and inside the academy, that'll be all you're wearing! So everyone can see how good your ideas are. Shall we go and get it?"
As if pretending to be friendly, she placed her hand in his and walked towards the lift.

"Interesting design," Maria said, looking at Sienna's ancient gun. "I can't imagine the rate of fire is anything to shout about though. Are you sure you don't want something more formidable?"

[Crumb-Cashew]

Cottura scanned the vast array of guns once more. Her eyes landed on a small pistol, in a strange beige color, rather boxy. She picked it up, feeling the weapon in her hands. "How much is this pistol?" she asked to nobody in particular.

[Meinkraft]

"Well," Sienna began, feeling kind of cornered by the on-the-spot question, "This revolver is an antique directly from 1860. It was used in the Platinum Rush that led to the founding of my country. It's killed a few people...." she trailed off, grinning darkly, before snapping back to her usual frown. "Errr, she fires a .44 round and all of her components are completely original. Because of my mother's...relations to the Army, I was able to get my mitts on it for the trip." Sienna twirled the weapon by the fingerguard and had it come to rest on her shoulder, gripping the steel handle tightly.

Turning her head to Maria, she mused, "Obviously, I wouldn't be trading this gun away....but....I've always wanted a machine rifle..."

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"This assault rifle's killed a few people as well," Maria said, tapping the gun. "It was only made last year, though. Their's no law saying you can't have another gun as well, so why don't you buy one of these? Killing people is what it's good at."

A passing shop assistant nodded at Cotura.
"That's 35 Dral," she said smoothly.

[Valaran]

Si wandered around aimlessly for a little while, staring at all the weapons on display. Well gawking at them was more accurate; she had barely held a gun before, let alone been able to purchase one. It was a unique experience. But it was also overwhelming; the sheer number of weapons on display made her confused, and not knowing a good one from a bad object, she found it impossible to decide on any specific firearm.

By chance she wondered into the more esoteric collections. Here the guns were as much artefacts as weaponry, each one distinct and unusual. Finally, Si found a section she liked. Mainly because it was filled with weapons she was used, all combined to make firearms. For while she'd never used a gun, Si was a master of the blade. Fencing and duelling were common in the Empire and utterly pervasive in the nobility. She'd grown up around such sword academies, and quickly mastered various forms. And here was a chance to combine that skill . A few items stood out amongst the rest. The first were axes, with rifles installed into the shafts. Si wasn't too shoddy with an axe. But it wasn't her preferred weapon; far too cumbersome. Instead, what really really drew her was a tulwar, fitted with a pistol at the end.. This was an elegant weapon, seemingly both light and with a certain force, artfully engraved with gold. It reminded her of the swords at home; perhaps it might have even been one. She knew what she wanted.

She picked it up, testing the weight on one finger. "How much is this?"

[South New Caledonia]

"This assault rifle's killed a few people as well," Maria said, tapping the gun. "It was only made last year, though. Their's no law saying you can't have another gun as well, so why don't you buy one of these? Killing people is what it's good at."

A passing shop assistant nodded at Cotura.
"That's 35 Dral," she said smoothly.

Akane did not have time to answer Josef, even if she had time to do it she wouldn't tell him as this was a secret. South New Caledonians went to the gun shop witth the group.

-"Excuse me, do you have any fully-automatic pistols?"- Michael Asked the shop assistant
Akane never had a weapon other than a knife before 'I'm proably going to buy a PDR of some sort...'- She was trying to decide which weapon to chose. Southern Nous aren't as interested in ,military as Northern Nous(Akane is a Southern Nou and Michael is a Northern Nou). A machine gun seemed to big to her, but on the other hand pistols are not very popular among Nou s- they are neither accurate nor have a high rate of fie and these are the only things that matter.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"A collectors piece indeed," the young, dark-haired shop assistant said, examining the weapon, before checking the stand it had sat on.
"4,531 Dral, Miss," he said, handing it back to her. "Do you wish to purchase it?"

"We do have machine pistols, yes," an assistant said, inwardly groaning at the idiocy of foreigners. "Although I'd recommend a sub-machine gun." He got a light sub-machine gun from a stand and handed it to Michael.
"The MSG-01. 700 rounds per minute, built-in silencer, although its main drawback is its range at only 100 metres effective range. Does it interest you?"

[Valaran]

Its surprisingly cheap. but then, Si had no clue what a 'normal' price would be.

"why yes, I rather would. I assume you accept a card?" She looked back, "do you mind if I buy this as well? Its a gift."

-"100 meters is not enough, I would like a 150m or more range, when it comes to rate of fire 100 ronds per minute would satisfy me. Do you have anything like that Monsieur?"- Michael asked the assistant with boredom, the assistant seemed like if he had no idea how much is 100 meters, it is nothing for a Nou.

[The High Tatras]

Its surprisingly cheap. but then, Si had no clue what a 'normal' price would be.

"why yes, I rather would. I assume you accept a card?" She looked back, "do you mind if I buy this as well? Its a gift."

"Um... Pani Si, I can teach you how to load and fire your flintlock muzzle loader if you wish. Perhaps there is a firing range somewhere in this building? Matchlock harquebuses and flintlock blunderbusses traditional weapons in my country, alongside the arbalest and polearms made from agricultural tools like war scythes and two-handed flails. Maksym and I go hunting for meat and hides or fur pelts a lot with with my centuries old family heirloom flintlock blunderbuss, it is very finely made with ivory inlays on the stock and elaborate filigree and niello designs on the barrel." said Taras, showing his ancient firearm to Si.

"Ruff! Ruff!" said Maksym.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Yes we do take cards," the assistant said, scanning the weapon and handing the card machine to Si.

"Of course," the assistant said, retrieving another weapon. "The Vkl-831D. Sub-machine gun, silencer fitted, 600 rounds per minute, 200 metre range. It costs a very reasonable 720 Dral, and we have several thousand still in stock. Are you interested?"

[Woodstovia]

"No, please miss I'm stupid; all my ideas are stupid and bad I'm just some dumb foreigner. I'm sorry please just don't make me do that." Allen said, holding onto her hand with both of his. It felt like tears would come out of his eyes soon.

[Crumb-Cashew]

"Only 35 Dral? I'll take it," Cottura said. It was a fine gun, and she suspected the price was low because of its compact build.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"That's a show gun," Maria whispered to Cotura. "It doesn't actually work. That's why it's so cheep."

"You're not stupid," Alicia said in her best soothing voice. "That was a great idea. Why are you so judgemental on yourself?" She gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

[South New Caledonia]

"Yes we do take cards," the assistant said, scanning the weapon and handing the card machine to Si.

"Of course," the assistant said, retrieving another weapon. "The Vkl-831D. Sub-machine gun, silencer fitted, 600 rounds per minute, 200 metre range. It costs a very reasonable 720 Dral, and we have several thousand still in stock. Are you interested?"

-"Sure, that's exactly what I wanted, Thank You Sir."- Michael was impressed, the assistant understood exactly what he wanted "I would like to pay with credit card if that is possible.". The price was... Michael didn't know if that was much really, but it seemed cheap and that was what mattered.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"I'll pay if you want," Maria told Michael, retrieving a card from her pocket. "I've been given a billion Dral budget to spend on you all this year, might as well tap into it."

[South New Caledonia]

"I'll pay if you want," Maria told Michael, retrieving a card from her pocket. "I've been given a billion Dral budget to spend on you all this year, might as well tap into it."

-"I will let you pay with pleasure M'am"- Michael smiled, he was suprised with this proposition, but afterall a South New Caledonian always accepts money"Who gave you this money, the ministry of Education?"

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"It's purest Clan funds," Maria said, scanning her card. "My family own the largest bank in the Haven; it's one of the world leaders. They have the best part of a trillion Dral to spend...it basically means they can afford to fight a war if they need to."

[Kwadai]

"I think pistols would be the best option, they're easier to carry around and less bulky.", Mewan replied to Elosqir.
