That is a waste of resources. Arthurs mission has the smallest risk of capture. It isnt noisy, so they can take the safest possible route and move silently across town to a clear destination. You and I have to wander around looking for things, which means we cannot always choose the safest route, putting our task at middling risk. Peppers task is the riskiest, since it is noisy and her armour wont stop bullets, so if we pair Selene up with her, we end up with the minimum possible risk. Besides which, Arthur has a much lower chance of missing if Oliver is there, since he can adjust the path of the projectile as necessary. If Selene went with Arthur, the chances are that Pepper would be captured or killed and Arthur would miss the target. Remember, no matter what, do not engage the enemy. There is no scenario in which we can knock them all out before one of us is killed.

I concede. Your logic outweighs mine and yes, I do remember the fact that all of the Hearts are deadly plus they carry firearms. Speaking of which. she pulls out the gun of the man she interrogated gingerly. I took the liberty of relieving the guy I questioned of his firearm. Can somebody just take this? It weighs a lot and I don't know how to fire it.

I nominate Arthur. He's an expert marksman, he could make better use of the weapon than the rest of us.

Paranaturalist Posts : 2026 Join date : 2013-03-26

Pepper looks very apprensive about the gun.

Selene and Mad also are not to thrilled with the idea. "Maybe it be best if I hold onto that..." Selene suggests. "I'm not sure I'm confortable with anyone here running around with that kind of weaponry."

"look, selene, i dont mean to be disrespectful, but i dont trust you, not yet anyway, you could be a spy sent by the hearts, and if our info is right, maybe some unknow spaces/clubs/dimonds group, and i dont want to take that chance," arthur stands tall, beaming with courage, and a bit of pride"i doubt that anyone in here would be more capable and responsible with any sort of firearm, other then me" arthur goes into a lengthy series of storys about his training that im to lazy to bother making up myself :\

Okay! I think we can skip the monologue here Arthur! Jeanine says quickly before he really gets on a roll I say we all just leave it here. Like, in a corner or something.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1389 Join date : 2013-03-29

Why not just break it? It has limited to no nonlethal capabilities, after all.

Paranaturalist Posts : 2026 Join date : 2013-03-26

"I rather like that idea." Pepper pipes in.

Seeing Shades Posts : 347 Join date : 2013-06-08

"if we do have to get rid of it, i suggest disasebling it instead of breaking it, that way we can make sure that it is not dischared when we dont want it to, as well as being able to put it back together if we do happen to need it"

Paranaturalist Posts : 1005 Join date : 2013-03-29

Oliver removes the ammo cartridge, and hovers it over to Arthur.

"There. That should be enough to keep it from being used against us, and arthur can keep it in his wallet. Just as an extra measure, though, I'll see if I can't jam the safety. Let's find out..."

Oliver attempts to jam the gun's safety in way that would be reversible later.

I can't imagine a situation in which having a gun would be useful. Bullets don't work on spirits. I suppose we might be able to get something to tool up in there eventually, maybe?

Paranaturalist Posts : 1005 Join date : 2013-03-29

There's that, but it also would be useful in a pinch when we're up against other spectrals, i.e., the deck. I'm sure Arthur could easily disable an opponent non-lethally with a gun like that, and barring that it's even useful as just an empty threat.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1302 Join date : 2013-03-29

No. No shooting. I don't doubt your skill Arthur but I also don't feel comfortable allowing the use of this weapon. People miss. Do you want to be responsible for taking somebody's life? Let's just use it as an empty threat.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1389 Join date : 2013-03-29

We absolutely will not be using this gun on any human being. You might be able to shoot them in a way that they will not die of their injuries, yes, but do you really think shooting a spectral in the leg isn't the same as killing them? A crippled spectral is defenseless, and we need to be able to protect ourselves from spirits to survive. If you put a baby bird on the forest floor and a fox eats it, it's still your fault.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1005 Join date : 2013-03-29

I'm not exactly fond of the idea of shooting people either, but this is a vital asset that we have to use. If you send Arthur undefended into a city full of people who are hunting him with weapons identical to this, and he gets shot, isn't that just the same as leaving the bird on the forest floor? Whether he's going to use it or not, he should have the gun. If we don't use everything we have to ensure our survival, we only have ourselves to blame when we die.

Long story short, I'd rather have a few wounded knees on my conscience then a dead friend. Surely, you can't disagree with that.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1302 Join date : 2013-03-29

If I were to utilize everything to ensure my survival I would be sending needles flying into the face of every hostile here. But I am not. Maybe they use guns, but that doesn't mean that we should too. 1. Guns. Come on. Like Ryan said, you would be crippling somebody which is almost like a death sentence. 2. Escalation. By using this gun we could be easily giving them a reason to use bigger weapons. There is no doubt in my mind that they have larger and more powerful weapons at hand, but using them against unarmed children would be wasteful. But if we show them we have guns to then that gives them plausible reasoning to up their weaponry. she quickly grabs the bullets and puts them in her bag. So you can take the gun, but it is pointless without bullets, but I just said, it could have a worse effect to appear as though you have a gun. Also Oliver, you would be with him, your shield can stop bullets right?

Paranaturalist Posts : 1389 Join date : 2013-03-29

A gun cannot deflect bullets, only propel them. It is defensively worthless. Fortunately, Oliver, you can deflect bullets. That's why you're going with him. Anyways, if you have a gun, you're much more likely to fire a gun, and if you do, you will not be able to finish your mission. Gunshots are loud, so it is impossible to stay concealed while shooting. Which, of course, is your primary defense. Do not allow yourselves to be seen. If you are seen, run away. You are not bound by gravity. You can go anywhere.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1005 Join date : 2013-03-29

Those are some perfect reasons not to give me a gun. That is why I am not asking you to give me a gun.

...I should not get into arguments I don't want to win. You may notice I've already removed the ammunition and jammed the safety. All this gun is good for now is pointing at people to discourage them from getting on your bad side. The only reason we're having this argument is because of my desire to explain the hypothetical benefits of using the weapon. I had conceded that we wouldn't be using it before the conversation had even begun.

Also, there's something I should have said earlier: Sure, I'll go with Arthur, because he's my friend and I want to help him. But I want you to keep in mind for the future that you, at least, do not give me orders.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1389 Join date : 2013-03-29

Naturally. I haven't given orders. I came up with and presented the best possible course of action, that's all. We should probably get to work. Does everyone have Chase's number?

Seeing Shades Posts : 347 Join date : 2013-06-08

"i dont look like i do. arthur stands up and moves across the room to chase, swiping the bullets on the way, putting it away in a way that makes it look like he was taking out his phone, which he also did."dosent seem i do, whats your number chase?"

Paranaturalist Posts : 1302 Join date : 2013-03-29

Yes. And Ryan, if you're not giving orders say things like "should", "maybe" and "if you are okay with it" more often. Otherwise it sounds like orders. . Jeanine smacks Arthurs hand away. What exactly do you think you are doing Arthur?

Seeing Shades Posts : 347 Join date : 2013-06-08

im saying he took them out of her bag. also, im letting you choose weather not she notcies, but keep in mind im making him do this because they are less likely to be removed out of his wallet on an astronomic level, they would first of all need someone with the same color of specteral energy, as well as nekoshoguns, complience to work with them, if jeanine had them, all they would need is a good pickpocket.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1302 Join date : 2013-03-29

There is no way he would be able to get those out of her bag without her noticing. .

Seeing Shades Posts : 347 Join date : 2013-06-08

Paranaturalist Posts : 1302 Join date : 2013-03-29

Yes, I saw that when Arthur was added to the character list. And Jeanine has now slapped his hand away from her messenger bag.
