Denicitizens of The City:

I require someone to provide me with a 'gun' or 'firearm' and teach me the use of such a weapon. There will be payment involved.

That said...

I found a snake in my wardrobe hiding from the snow and have yet to name it. Anyone who heard me scream will pretend nothing happened. I looked it up in one of the books I

How old are you, kid?

16

When the time came, could you really pull the trigger? Killing something, it's real easy to say you will, but could you really do it? Heh, listen to me, sounding like a mom or something.

If you need help, you know you can ask for it, ne? You don't need a gun.

[regal_reptile]

I've already stared that decision in the face.

People are not to be trusted when it comes to protecting your own life. I wouldn't say no to aid, but I refuse to rely on anyone but myself.

[lady_turk]

Why would someone your age want to use a gun if they didn't have to?

[regal_reptile]

Because I have to.

Believe me, I would much rather get on without having to so much as touch one of those silly Muggle technologies, but there is no other option.

[lady_turk]

Silly Muggle technologies? I might not know what 'muggle' means, but I think I understand what you're trying to say.

If you want, I'll be your teacher then you'll see just how 'silly' a gun is.

[regal_reptile]

Listen, lady. My society has no need of 'guns' because we are quite capable of killing each other with magic. I just don't know if magic will work in this particular circumstance, so I am obliged to give this other option a try.

Do you have a gun I could borrow, buy, or steal?

[killer_sunshine]

Purchase firearms through Matt.

If the people above won't teach you how to use it, ask me, if you don't mind being taught by a girl who is apparently younger than you.

[lady_turk]

You know he'll probably shoot himself in the foot first if someone actually gave him a real gun.

[killer_sunshine]

Mm... probably. But would you trust a person with your personal weapons?

[killer_sunshine]

And then there's always blanks.

[blind_shot]

I'll sell you a gun. Teach you how to use it and let you shoot real bullets at whatever the fuck you want as long as it doesn't belong to me.

How much are you offering?

[regal_reptile]

Sorry, quickest bid wins. Besides, you don't really think I'd let a blind mercinary teach me how to shoot, would you?

I may take you up on the buying afterwards, however. My currency is in gold, silver and bronze, hope that isn't a problem. And I know it isn't.

[blind_shot]

You're a little shit anyway and I probably would have shot you during a lesson. So fair is fair.
I will gladly sell to you and of course gold wont be a problem.
I am not blind. I just have no eyes. And I am certainly not a mercenary. I am an agent with the CIA and Raphael's personal manager.
I assume .22 because of your size? (And in the ladies defense I too started shooting at 8. My father taught me).

[killer_sunshine]

Told you so, prissy pants.

Mm... My Dad wasn't around when I was 8. I learned from the guy who took me in.

[angel_aria]

A snake??? I'll make sure to keep Angel away from it; it would probably try hurting her. I hope it doesn't bit epeople...

[regal_reptile]

Don't worry, Miss Christine, it's perfectly harmless. No venom whatsoever, and would much rather hide under the bed than try to hurt someone. I'll make sure he/she/it stays in my room, in any case.
