Guy who looks like his blood is more coffee than anything else?
I can use basically anything as ammo, marbles just seem like the cheapest thing to get ahold of and fit into a contraption. Having an exact size and easy to set-up a few before I go out. Maybe get a slingshot too, just to be that menace kid.
You should have seen him before, fellow was at death's door last year.
Slingshot's not a bad idea. Everyone's got their own signature weapon, after all, and yours won't cost as much as the rest of us. Tell Viktor I'll pay for whatever it is, but he's good at this stuff.
I might ask you to teach me to shoot, but I still don't know how to make a gun and my magic work together. So for now a slingshot will give me range and speed, and just flicking marbles at people accuracy.
I guess this counts as my birthday present. Alongside whatever else you plan to do with me?
I'm an expert marksman, you'll be an expert too with no time. I think the slingshot's a good call, I love guns but they aren't very stealthy, which fits more with your powers. You should talk to Inej about learning how to sneak, she's incredible.
What do you want to do? We can have a shindig at the inn, invite your friends! I can make you something for your birthday though. Something shiny?
They are probably too loud, and will shatter my stealth if I fired one. So it'd really be more for a fight where I can't hide like the weird metal dinosaur. And I do intend on asking Inej for help when she's a little more up and about.
Check with Julie, see if she isn't already planning a party for me. It should probably be on the Horizon so Hilda and Wilhelm can be there. But I was really more concerned with what you wanted to do with a more mature and wiser me.
Inej is the best spy anyone could ever meet. I've known her for years and she still gets the drop on me, and she shouldn't be able to, considering I can track her clothing, but she somehow manages! You couldn't get a better teacher.
So you and Wille made up, I'm assuming? Told you he's forgiving.
Well maybe we can stick around the Horizon after the party and I can show you what sex is like on the psychic plane. Spoiler alert: It's amazing.
Yeah, he gets why I do the shit I do. And I get why it's fucked up for him to deal with.
What? Sex in a world where reality can bend to your whims is amazing, color be surprised!
P.S. Oh yeah, your cranky inventor friend wants half up front. P.P.S. Mat should also be there, it might be nice if we got to know each other with my clothes on.
He gets not everything's black and white. I'm glad you've become friends, you could both use more good sort in your life.
I know! Imagine that.
Fine, Wylan works at the lab, I'll give him the money. I knew he'd be able to figure it out. Viktor's against weapons but I figured a slingshot would be tolerable for him.
Well, no promises, clothes do have a habit of falling off us.
He's definitely that. I think you might have a little bias though, smitten and all that you are.
Talking about it at all? Definitely talking about it with his boyfriend. What I did with Press I didn't share with my friends. Because they would correctly point out I should do things with someone less terrifying. And my world is pretty big on the whole monogamous possessiveness bullshit. And prudish 'don't talk about it' bullshit.
I like this better, I still just need to get used to it. Where the boundaries are, shit like that.
Monogamy is a thing where I'm from too, and I even tried it with someone, before coming here. It worked and all, I'm not a cheater, but I think this is more me. It's really about communication, making sure everyone gets it. Mat and I are good at that, with each other and with other people. I don't think the heart has a limited amount of space, it's endless to me. The way I care about people is infinite.
Eh, we don't worry much about boundaries. We always know where each other stand. Sometimes boundaries about other people become a thing, such as Kaz being an unrelenting dick to him, but it's not because he has to share. I love the man, but he is a dick to most people.
You've also been here longer than me and there's definitely something in the waters we wash up from that makes everyone sorta needlessly horny. I do agree that limiting yourself to caring about just one person over everyone else is- well, fucking stupid.
I'm not worried about your boundaries, I'm worried about mine. I mean- don't get me wrong, if I thought you had boundaries I'd worry about them but so far I haven't found any. I want to have fun, enjoy myself, and make a life worth having. I just don't know what that looks like, which is fucking scary.
I've met Kaz now, he tried to convince me he wasn't a fighter after berating a monster into leaving. He sure is something.
It's okay if that's what someone wants. Wilhelm for example would probably prefer monogamy if he fell in love, I know him very well, so everyone's different. The guy I was monogamous with is here now. We're working on being okay with each other. He's a good sort, Wylan, you might've seen him around the inn.
Oh yeah, that makes sense. I want to respect your boundaries and encourage you to learn what they are, love. It is scary to open yourself up like this to so many people, but the rewards really are worth it. Finding a place you belong can be everything.
Ha! That's him alright. He's the head of our gang, the entire city's terrified of him.
I'm the wrong person to figure out what is and isn't right about romance.
Which is why spending the night after my party exploring the ins and outs of sex on he Horizon is on the table. It's a lot easier to try new things when I trust the guy I'm with and a lot less terrified then I would be with someone new. I'll try to find new people later.
