[For as long as he's been here- which has only been a month so far- Wolfwood has pointedly avoided letting his thoughts drift into the wider stream of consciousness at large, as much as that is possible anyway. He hates...utterly loathes the idea of someone being able to hear what he's thinking, but he's started to get desperate. He couldn't find anything suitable to protect himself with last month in the long term, and with his living situation still fluid and not knowing what might be coming around the corner, it's not a good feeling to be vulnerable. He has his claws and wings, sure, but what good are they when he doesn't really know how to use them? He's a sharp-shooter, not a fist-fighter.

So...begrudgingly. Reluctantly, in a way that will be felt, you'll hear him speaking:]

I need a gun. Or something like one, but preferably an actual gun. Is there anyone in this godforsaken place who can hook me up?

Will work for cigarettes, also.

Stop by Central Park any time. I'm sure Caelus will be able to provide you extra bullets, if you need them.

I've used this world's modern handguns. They're reliable. [ Which was his way of saying that most of them were also hideous. He just didn't care for plastics, probably never would. ]

[Honestly, Wolfwood prefers solid metal himself to anything else, so he can definitely relate in that case.]

Sure, I'll try not to get lost on the way there. Is that where you hang out most of the time?

[markingnight]

Evenings, yes. During the day, I usually roam the city.

[ Taking advantage of the daylight hours and all. ]

Don't worry. You can't miss it for the trees.

[lupusxylem]

Got it. Quick question...

Are there any weird monsters and shit there? Do I need to prepare? Cause there's kindof...things wandering around right now, yaknow.

This place used to house the Central Park Zoo, so you'll run into more animal Hosts than elsewhere. And overgrown greenery. But if you like, I can meet you at the park's edge.

Personally, I find it comforting.

[lupusxylem]

Animals and shit I don't mind, that's fine. I'm talkin' more...

Those weirder ones. With the eyes.

[Many, many eyes.]

[markingnight]

None of that.

[ And he'd like to keep it that way, thank you very much. ]

So you had a run-in, did you?

[lupusxylem]

More than one, actually. Pretty sure they wander closer to me every time I blink. It's fuckin' creepy.

[markingnight]

They must like you.

[ Was that a friendly rib...? Nahhh, couldn't be. ]

If it's any consolation, I ran into one myself. The next time it happens, I'll have more firepower at hand.

[lupusxylem]

Hah, guess they must. So will I, God willing. The only reason they're still around and in one piece is cause I DON'T have a gun. Yet.

good place to wrap?

[markingnight]

Ha! Then we'll have to get you one right away.
