[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.

I have cigarettes and a gun for you, but it has no bullets. Some of us can make bullets, though.

[ like real bullets rather than elemental substitutes. ]

[trashblaze]

[ Well, it seems the gun is covered, so— ]

I can craft bullets for you!

[eidxiety]

Cigarettes are bad for your lungs, Mr. Priest.

[inverseye]

Who invited the fun police?

[markingnight]

Wolfwood. I didn't expect to find you here.

[ He sympathized, buddy. Ironeye wasn't 100% sold on the Murmur, either. Since the others had covered his questions, he'd just angle to see if the man was doing all right. ]

[lupusxylem]

[Oh hey, that's a voice he recognizes...]

I can make it work. What kinda gun?

[The cigarettes themselves do not matter. He will smoke literally anything at this point, and he imagines it'll taste better than the garbage back home anyway.]

[lupusxylem]

[Listen he will NOT say no to multiple guns. You never know what might happen!]

Good deal. What do you want for 'em, and how much can you make?

[lupusxylem]

This is a request, not an ask for opinions.

[lupusxylem]

My thoughts exactly.

[lupusxylem]

Didn't expect to BE here but, well, here I am. Turns out it ain't that common to just find a gun laying around in this place, so I figured I'd need some extra help.

[markingnight]

It's convenient, but it can be irritating if someone keeps trying to get in contact.

[ He liked to shove the stupid mask in a closet for hours at a stretch when he'd had his fill. Give him analog any day. ]

If you'd like, I've a long gun you're welcome to. It's quite enjoyable to fire, but rather loud.

[inverseye]

Has he even tried smoking?

[ These high and mighty losers are always straight edge.... ugh. ]

[trashblaze]

[ That's true!! In a place like this, having multiple is great!! ]

As long as I have the materials, I'll be able to craft a good amount. It takes some time though, so I'll need a full day after receiving the materials.

I've recently started practicing imbuing elements into the items I craft as well, so I might be able to create something interesting with rarer materials.

[lupusxylem]

Got it. So is that your way of saying "you pay me in the materials"?

[eidxiety]

You're going to smoke in my clinic and make me sad, Mr. Priest... this is a perfect opportunity to break your addiction and find a real hobby. Like sewing.

[lupusxylem]

Doubt it.

I already know smoking is bad for me. If I could stop, I would've a long ass time ago.

[lupusxylem]

Who said I was gonna smoke inside?

And I don't think an addiction is the same thing as a "real hobby".

[lupusxylem]

A long gun, eh...like a shot gun?

[markingnight]

Yes. But it's an antique, by this world's standards. Perhaps you won't care for it.

[ In case Wolfwood was interested, he could take a look via mental image. ]

[inverseye]

Typicaaal lolololol

[ He should try it! Make him try it! ]

You actually believe that, sir? You know doctors just make crap up to scam people.

[sorte]

[ hello there, he recognizes your voice, too. ]

Pistol. I think it's a standard issue sidearm for the law enforcement that was here.

[ he has several different brands of cigarettes so Wolfwood can just pick the one with packaging he likes the most. ]

[trashblaze]

That's right! [ Very lightheartedly— ] And your name.

Anyway, metals like copper or lead are best for bullets. Steel works as well. Literally, you can hand me steel pipes and I'll melt them into bullets. Same logic for copper or lead, for example, a copper watch. And I need some plastics as well to use for coating.

[merged]

Not the first person to be hunting for cigarettes. You as picky as the last man I spoke to?

[sculptedash]

Oh man. We've got a badass here.

...I'm pretty sure I've seen a few stores around that dealt in guns specifically.

I also saw a pretty badass crossbow in a sports store.

[regulate]

I did find a pack of cigarettes tucked away on one of the library shelves, though I am afraid I cannot help you with a gun. If you do decide to smoke, please be sure to do so outdoors where the wind can carry the stench away.
