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

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

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

"Lots of disadvantages though," Elosqir told him. Usually a slower rate of fire, less range, and they don't look intimidating. To be honest, if you want the best of both worlds I'd suggest a decent sub-machine gun." He pointed at Michael. "Like the one he's got, for example."

[Kwadai]

"Sub machines gun? Ok sounds good, I'll leave you to decide you know this way better than me", Mewan answered looking at Michael's gun.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"OK," Elosqir said, grasping 2 of the compact SMGs. Maria scanned her card, and Elosqir gave the guns, complete with shoulder holsters, to Mewan and Nick.

[Kwadai]

Taking a gun each the KwaDaians inspected the weapon in their hands. "Hey Elosqir, what's the likelihood we'll have to use these?", Mewan asked knowing the city wasn't exactly Tripoli and definetly not as safe.

[Meinkraft]

Sienna rubbed her chin as if she had a beard. "Ummm.....does this store have M1s? The Garand Model. How about the AN Combat Rifle, the XM8? Always wanted to use one of those.....Any laws against murder here?" she asked, audibly, with true interest, eyes lighting up, hoping for a negative response.

[South New Caledonia]

-"Excuse me, do you have any semi automatic rifles, prefferably simple in use".-Akane approached the assistant and asked him, Michael already had his rifle. Akane preffered semi-auto rifles over machine guns, when she was in the army she was one of the worst at frirng machine guns, although she was one of the best snipers.

Michael on the other hand couldn't hit a barn from 100 meters with a sniper gun, he was too hot-tempered for it.

Josef freiherr von Schofield

Josef grabbed one of the many assistants slipping his list into his hands. "Procure my needs and my reward shall be generous", he hissed at the boy placing a credit chip from Germania into the boy's hands. "You have by the end of my visit to collect my needs or I shall find myself teaching you of Germanian professionalism", he said to the peasant boy stabbing him in the side with one of his needles. "Take my money and you die, be good and be rich", he muttered softly as he pushed the assistant away with his list.

Josef then turned and rejoined the group muttering about their choice in guns.

Si looked up to find Taras so close and gushing just a little. She smiled "That's incredibly kind of you. I'd like that." She looked down at his weapon. "You brought it all the way with you to the mall? Anyway, It looks like a true masterwork. I would like to see you fire it," She thought for a moment "In return, I could teach you some fencing. If you want?"

"You brought it all the way with you to the mall? Anyway, It looks like a true masterwork. I would like to see you fire it," She thought for a moment "In return, I could teach you some fencing. If you want?"

"Of course I would love for you to teach me some fencing, Pani Sierra! I mean... I have a rusty old shashqua saber, but I only use it in folk dance recitals. I do not know how to properly fight with it. Um... I should tell you, a Tatran flintlock mechanism is slightly different from a "western" one. It tends to have most of its moving parts on the outside, even things like springs and levers... but it looks like your combination weapon has an ordinary French styled flintlock." said Taras. His heart was beating faster just because Si was talking to him.

[Valaran]

"Thank you. Anyway, you must show me how it all works then. I'd hate to buy a weapon that was half useless to me."

"Great!" She beamed at the bashful kid "hmm, now that might have to be improved upon. We should get you a proper sword, since we're here. Let me have a look at you" She visually examined Taras, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Yes, definitely a broadsword type. Why, Taras, which sword do you think would be best for you?" She drew in close, fluttering her eyelashes. He seemed the last person to use a broadsword, but Si couldn't resist having a little fun. It was just a minor tease, that's all.

Josef freiherr von Schofield

Josef pipped up at the mentioning of fencing instinctively reaching into his coat for his saber which no longer was there. "I forget how much father made me leave behind", Josef thought to himself sadly remembering the old shiny saber that hung from his hip to defend honor and disputes. Josef loved bladework of all kinds as opposed to firearms which he considered to easy to use and maintain. Though he preferred his scalpel as opposed to the sabre he was an adequate fencer taught similarly to all Germanian nobility who cared to give a classical education to their children. He was top fencer in his academy and the second in his province. He didn't particularly like fencing but it was usually preferred over marksmanship which he found boring and too easy.

"What it your blade Si?", he found himself ask the two. "Also, Taras your sword reminds me of the Highland Cossacks Shashka, which is a rather decent blade admittedly if you don't like the longer Prussion saber", he said remembering the hardy cossacks of his homeland(Tribal people of the northern Germanian mountains mostly conquered in 1747).

[The High Tatras]

"Well swords were never particularly common or popular weapons in my country's past, that is despite the very popular image foreigners have of us chopping people to pieces with curved sabers while on horseback. Most of our ancestors were of limited means and preferred to spend what little money they had to acquire an arbalest, a matchlock harquebus, or a flintlock blunderbuss, all of which would take much less training to use effectively than a sword. The less fortunate ones only had polearms based on agricultural implements, like war scythes and two-handed flails. Large two-handed battle axes and small hand axes or war hammers were quite common too." said Taras to Sierra and Josef.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"You'll have to use your guns," Elosqir told the KwaDaians matter-of-factly. "If nothing dangerous happens this year I'll be surprised. I've certainly have to use mine before."

The shop assistant did run off; unfortunately for Joseph, he didn't run off to do his shopping. Instead, he ran off to get the security staff; 2 black legionary soldiers in jet black power armour with large, mennacing-looking assault rifles held proudly.
"Like now," Elosqir said. "Load. Just in case."

All around, the sounds of weapons drawing could be heard. Elosqir was first, followed by Lucas, Maria and finally Jason. Unperturbed, the legionaries approached Joseph.
"Sir," the leader said in a harsh, mechanised voice. "We have reason to believe you attempted to inject a member of shop staff with an unknown chemical, and threatened him with more if he did not do your shopping. Is this the case?"
Elosqir flipped his safety off.

"So," Alicia said, pulling Allen by the hand onto a wooden bench beside her. "So you don't want to be naked? You've got a choice, even though I said you'd have very few of those after your antics last night. You can wear mens clothing in the day, and nothing in the evenings. Or, you can wear very revealing girls clothing all day round. The other item, however, is compulsory."

[Kwadai]

Mewan and Nik nodded solemnly expecting the worst. "Maria said she could help us get used to shooting anyway so I'm sure we'll manage. We're quick learners", Nik added.

[Woodstovia]

The first option sounded surprisingly... Kind? It didn't seem too bad having to be naked, he honestly didn't really mind if Alicia saw him naked. It was everyone else he was worried about. But then again knowing Alicia she'd probably cart him out for everyone to see during the evenings. "Thank you miss, what time does the evening start?" he asked. If she decided the evenings started late it wouldn't be so bad.

"I'd say...about 7?" Alicia told him. "You can do a lot naked, you know. Some things...that we can't do clothed, if you get my drift."

[Meinkraft]

Sienna quickly drew and cocked her revolver, spinning the cylinder. A wicked, twisted grin grew on her face as she pulled back the hammer with a metallic clink. She was skilled with firearms, having been on ranges as a child.

Finally, something interesting....

She unzipped her bag with her left hand and withdrew a fresh cartridge of ammunition, ready to replenish her shots.

[Kwadai]

"Ok, so ammunition next yes?", Mewan questioned looking to see where the others had came about theirs.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Ok, so ammunition next yes?", Mewan questioned looking to see where the others had came about theirs.

"It'll come with some," Elosqir told Mewan. "Look in the carry case."

Already, the situation was getting more and more tense. People on both sides, both sporting the green and blue dragon of Celeria and the blue tree of Buertova milled around; guns were out as all around seemed to wait for Joseph to give his answer.

[Kwadai]

"Oh that's good", Mewan exclaimed brightly opening the case to reveal the set of ammunition. Closing it again the KwaDaian held it under his right arm carefully.

[Woodstovia]

"What was it that you said back in the bar? You'd never like me?" Allen asked with a glare, the first option felt like a trick but it still seemed better than the first one. "7 sounds kinda early though..."

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Perhaps I like to change my mind sometimes," Alicia said softly. "Perhaps I like that body...and Gods I know this is one of those times where I do."

"Now load the guns," Elosqir pressed as Mewan got out the ammo.

[Woodstovia]

"Oh uh..." Allen muttered awkwardly, not really sure how to respond to that. "How revealing are the revealing clothes?" Allen asked, trying to understand his situation completely.

[The greater Vakolicci Haven]

"Very revealing," Alicia said. Strangely, she still had not taken her hand out of Allen's. "Like what the whores in the Western districts wear. You must have seen them...so, do you want to be barely covered up for all day, or wear propper clothes for most of it?"

[Woodstovia]

Allen thought about his choices. He'd obviously prefer to wear male clothing through the majority of the day but the idea of having to go from 7 until whenever Alicia decided she wanted to sleep almost completely naked was a daunting prospect. That wasn't even factoring in how Alicia's multiple personalities would treat him in that situation. The second option certainly wasn't good but at least he'd always be wearing something and Alicia would have less control over him... It felt sickening but Allen meekly whispered "I'll go with option 2."
