is this darkness of the dawn and your friends are gone

[Everything keeps happening so much and the only real constants are death and parties.

Zerinda takes the initiative to plan things this time, with Della helping her deliver the invitations either being slipped under doors again.]



[It gives everyone an hour or two to settle down from the investigation and trial. By 6 on the dot the tables in the lounge are packed with miscellaneous vending machine snacks, a large pot of a thick and warm white stew, a plate stacked with biscuits and cupcakes. So many cupcakes. Mira has been coping well with her stress.

There's also several bottles of wine, hot coffee and hot chocolate waiting for anyone thirsty.

Welcome to the party, ya'll.]

Think of it like a lock on a door. A gun fires when pressure is placed on its trigger, and the safety is there to keep it from firing by accident for as long as it's engaged.

Ah. Since you can't unstring a gun the way you unstring a bow. That makes sense.

You know, maybe this is the kind of thing you should consider teaching Mira or Zerinda, if it comes to it. I may not look it, but I prefer to fight up close. Easier to rob people that way.

[mouflon]

Maybe... I was thinking you're sneaky enough to be a good sniper, but fair enough. If I'm going to do that, though, first I need to figure out if there's a safe way to fire off live rounds in here.

[bolderfell]

It the kind of thing where they'd be in more danger from themselves than from others if they're not trained right?

[mouflon]

Pretty much. Though, honestly, the people in the most danger would be us. You might shoot yourself in the foot by accident if you don't know how to handle a gun, but that's still a lot better than accidentally shooting a friend someplace more vital.
