[action/voice] 2 // careful how you live and breathe

[Anyone around the Metropolis area might see her now free of blood and walking a small cute dog to or from the grocery story! She thoughtfully raises the seal to her lips like a radio (simply thinking at thing was even worse than actually talking to it, you see) and poses a question:]I have read that this party will require all weapons to be left

[screams at puppy oh my god arthur would totally be all over that thing squishing it.

He's sitting on the steps outside of the library, his seal in hand, and replies.]

I would suppose the minimum requirement involves that people can't identify you. It is a masquerade after all. A mask and preferably not the uniform.

Re: [Action/Voice] whoops

[gunpowderreason]

[Not the uniform? Sadly she doesn't even have it with her here in Splendor, but she was pretty sure her occupation was as distinguishable as the color of her hair.]

I suppose I must be rather obvious.

[Well of course I am stupid and assumed she had it. derp. |:

Not that obvious, forgive me. You strike me as someone with a military background.

[Arthur is such a creep fml.]

Re: [Action/Voice] NO NO NO it makes him look smart, HER DUMB CANON POINT :(

[gunpowderreason]

[she inclines her head a bit, even though he can't see.]

You are correct. Pardon me, but to whom am I speaking?

[Action/Voice] Arthur is secretly dumb okay. |:

My name is Arthur. And yours is?

Re: [Action/Voice] HEY me too (only not so secretly)

[gunpowderreason]

Lieutenant Hawkeye. It is a pleasure.

[Action/Voice]

[bypassed]

Likewise. My name is Arthur.

Do you really think trouble's likely to occur at the party though?

Re: [Action/Voice]

[gunpowderreason]

Likely or not, it seems illogical to discount the possibility.

If nothing else, thrusting so many people from such different backgrounds into one room after baiting them with information as to why they were taken from their homes seems to be walking a fine line already.

I suppose you're right through.

You'll be around through, to dispel any likely incidences? Having someone like you would be handy around.

Re: [Action/Voice]

[gunpowderreason]

I would certainly do my best, as is my duty, but my best may be a little hard if I surrender my weapons at the door and others do not.

[Action/Voice]

You should give them a good fight. You seem like you'd be capable of that.

Re: [Action/Voice]

[gunpowderreason]

I would prefer to conflict wherever possible, and their request isn't ridiculous, but I would like some sort of an assurance that once I give up my weapon I will not be left without any means to protect.

Re: [Action/Voice]

You have seen the Locals, right? Given their stance on violence, I feel that should trouble arise, they'd be more than willing to step in and immediately end any trace of violence.

[Pause.]

Not like I trust them in the first place.

Re: [Action/Voice]

[gunpowderreason]

Which is where my issue lies. I would prefer to be in charge of my own safety, rather than leaving it to the hands of such individuals.

Re: [Action/Voice]

[bypassed]

No, you're right. That's how I perceive things as well... but I'm still not about to let their guard down.

Re: [Action/Voice]

[gunpowderreason]

That would be a sensible decision.
