5th Hat Flip [Voice/Action]

[immamartillo]

[Voice]

[It's early in the morning-after a night of much boredom and little sleep- when Firo opens his journal.]

I've been wonderin': what kinda weapons do people use back where you guys come from? Where I live, people'll fight with anything from fists to tommy guns, but I figure everywhere's gotta have somethin' different.

[Action]

[Later that morning, Firo sets off running for the Battle Dome. He hasn't been too pleased with himself lately: he failed to be effective against the droids that attacked a few weeks ago, and then he couldn't even protect his friend from being mallynapped. Actually, ever since Ennis was kidnapped before his arrival in Luceti he's felt nagging feelings of uselessness. They've only been intensified by recent events.

He has to get stronger. The capos of his Family would be disappointed if they saw him like this. In the back of his mind Firo can practically hear Yaguruma berating him.

He spends most of the day at the Battle Dome, focusing on training until he's ready to drop (though feel free to interrupt him). Maybe trying to go so long without a break isn't a good idea, but that doesn't matter to Firo at this point. When nightfall comes, he wanders outside and slumps by the door, exhausted.

HI FIRO <3

[herd_effect]

[Tommy guns? That phrase piques Willock's interest because he actually recognizes it--he did live through the thirties, after all. Could Firo be from some past version of his world?]

...You mean Thompson submachine guns?

WHY HELLO THERE! <3

[immamartillo]

Yeah, them. They got those in your world?

[He's surprised; most people he's talked to here haven't heard of them before.]

[dragonsheir]

[Soren still had the habit of waking up quite early and hearing about other weapons managed to pick his interest.]

Depending on the person or species, there are a variety of ways to fight in my world. The beorc who use swords, axes, lances, bows and magic. And though the laguz use their fists on occasion, they are not as powerful as when they are in their forms, using their fangs, talons and fire breath to fight.

I can't say that I've heard of a tommy gun, it must be quite powerful if you only have those two means of fighting.

[immamartillo]

Huh? Oh, that's not what I meant. It is pretty strong, but there's a lotta other stuff out there for people to use. That was just one example.

[He hesitates; all that information is a lot to take in.]

So... People breath fire in your world?

[generalflirt]

Tommy guns~ Whoowie, if those are what I think they are that's a classic right there. But, my world's got a similar story going on. In the streets from fists to knives to trashcans to pistols, but out in foreign warzones? Sky's the lim-- maaah, I shouldn't even say that. No limits.

[immamartillo]

No limits, huh?

[He considers asking for an elaboration of that, but it's the stuff on the street he's more interested in.]

Trashcans? I don't think I've ever seen anybody use one of those in a fight except to throw somebody into it.

[voice]

[anita_hero]

Where I come from, there are all kinds of weapons, from handguns to nuclear bombs.

My weapon of choice is a sword baton - my Emperor's stick. It's a staff that comes apart into two short swords.

[voice]

[immamartillo]

"Sword baton"? I don't think I've heard of somethin' like that where I come from. So it can be swords or a stick? That sounds pretty neat!

[voice]

[fabrecation]

[Oh awesome, weapons, Luke can get behind this.]

I think it depends on the person in my world. I use the sword, and we've got things like spears, staffs, knives, bows and arrows... Heh, I know someone who uses this giant doll to fight.

[voice]

[immamartillo]

A doll? How's that even work?

[Voice] Oh hai. Have a Jedi Knight!

[thefinaljedi]

I have no idea what tommy guns are, honestly. But...where I am from, blasters are the most common form of projectile weapon. Other people use their fists, and others use vibroblades. I use a Lightsaber, but...thats not really a common weapon.

[Voice]

[immamartillo]

They're guns that fire a lotta bullets really fast.

[He laughs.]

...I don't think I know what any of those things are, either.

OH BOY OH BOY DID SOMEONE SAY WEAPONS [voice]

[weaponry]

Well, Ninja can use just about every weapon they please - aside from firearms. But, most people usually use ninjutsu and a single weapon or two, or no weapon at all. A couple of ninja specialize in a variety of weaponry too.

[ oh boy oh boy she's pumped about this conversation. ]

[voice]

[immamartillo]

Wait a minute, you know ninjas?

[Now he's really excited for this conversation.]

[ex_restoring6]

Mostly medieval kinds of weapons; spear, sword, that kind of thing. [in the Vortex World, anyway. what do demons need guns for.] Only one guy I knew used guns, and even then he had a sword as tall as he was.

voice

[immamartillo]

Medieval stuff? Why's that? Is it a tradition or what?

[hisapprentice]

I think most people try not to get into a fight with weapons...

[REAL GENTLEMEN USE PUZZLES.

Okay not really. But guns and swords and fists are dangerous!]

[immamartillo]

Oh, hey, Luke.

[Boy, does he have a lot of questions for you. But first the important stuff.]

No weapons? So you're more of a fisticuffs kinda guy?

[voice]

[dogboy]

Fists, swords, guns, knives, there's a ton of stuff. Mostly because there's a war going on. They use people, too. [No Firo it's basically the same in his world except no one is Immortal they're just fated to be rebirthed over and over until their mistakes are corrected.]

[voice]

[immamartillo]

A war? When you say they use people... do ya mean like assassins?

[As far as human weapons go, he'd definitely call Claire one. If there's a war going on, it makes sense that assassins would be getting good business.]

[Voice] hnng I'm late

[moezama]

That sounds like how it is back home for me...although we've started studying how to use magic.

[Voice] Nonsense, you're right on time

[immamartillo]

Magic? Really? Like... Wicked Witch of the West magic?

[Voice] Since it's early morning; Pre-mallynapping for Smoker then

[justicereigns]

I use a jitte, but pretty much everyone has something different. Swords and rifles are common, a few pirates use pistols, both sides have cannons, and sometimes bigger bombs. There are also devil fruit powers and haki.

[Voice] Alrighty!

[immamartillo]

[He has a lot of questions swirling around his head now; it takes a moment just to pick one.]

You're a pirate?

[Smoker's mention of there being two "sides" didn't catch his attention, but the mention of pirates sure did.]

[Action]

[devourthemfirst]

[And while you're training in the battle dome, guess who's going to be watching you from the second floor?

THIS GUUUY. Or boy rather.

He comes here every so often to see who's training and who he should be wary of but he didn't expect Firo to pop by today. So with a juice box in hand, he leans over the railing and watches him fight from above]

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[Wow, creepy.

Firo keeps going about his business, completely unaware of Czes's presence. When he's finished with the simulation, he slips out of the room and stands near the entrance to catch his breath.

Come on, Czes, you know you want to come down and say hi!]
