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.

[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?

Also hi and this is voice thingy ><

[dragonsheir]

I see. What do you use?

Not necessairly. Only those from the dragon tribe, those that transform into dragons are able to.

Alrighty, thanks! :)

[immamartillo]

My Family uses knives. I'm fine without a weapon, too.

[...Wait, what?]

Um... did I hear you right? They turn into dragons? Really?

No prob :3

[dragonsheir]

Your entire family? Isn't that a bit odd?

[He nods to himself.]

You did. Laguz are able to transform based on their tribe. So, they are able to turn into beasts, birds, dragons and wolves.

[immamartillo]

My Camorra Family, I mean. It's a tradition.

[He still doesn't sound entirely convinced, but he realizes that he will have to suspend his disbelief a bit in a place like Luceti.]

That's... really weird. Ya know, I'm pretty sure dragons don't even exist where I live. Well, I was sure...

[dragonsheir]

You mean what, exactly by your Camorra family?

As weird as it is for you, it's quite a common occurence where I'm from. Tommy guns do not exist in Tellius but they do in yours. I'm sure there's quite a list we could draw up that shows all the differences between them.

[immamartillo]

[What Soren just pointed out makes Firo's answer a little more complicated. If they don't have tommy guns where he comes from, they might not have the same type of organized crime.]

...Yeah, I guess you're right about that. It's still kinda hard to wrap my head around.

It's like... Well, an organization of sorts. Kinda like a business, ya know? Except most of its activity is, well... illegal.
