[An unsure-looking Lukas is on your communicators today, RC. Like he's annoyed and swallowing a whole lot of pride to get on the lines and bring this up. You can see his tail swish by in the background frequently, like that of an irritated cat.]Soooo. Due to recent events, it has been brought to my attention that if things get bad again around

[02's answering video feed clicks on without fanfare, showing a certain rather apologetic-looking blonde that Lukas may or may not recall with any degree of clarity--He had been awfully tired when they met, after all.]

I hadn't meant to insinuate it was any shortcoming on your part, you know... Not everybody is meant to be a combatant. But if it bothers you that much, I don't mind offering a little help teaching you the basics.

[badatmyjob]

It is a bit blurry, but he does remember her!]

No, no, I mean, you are right. I suppose if I need to get along here in a place unlike my world, I must adapt to fit in! Survival of the fittest and all that...

[unit_202]

Survival of the fittest indeed! Adaptation to the unanticipated is an invaluable skill-- It's admirable of you to adopt the mindset.

[202 smiles and nods once in obvious approval.]

Well, if you decide you'd like that training after all, I'm more than willing--I can teach you the basics of hand-to-hand combat, and while my sidearm might not be the best "beginner" weapon to practice with, I've got plenty of ammo and time if you're so inclined.

[badatmyjob]

Huhuu, well I AM always in favor of making myself even better~

Perhaps I will. But you know, I think I'm the one who owes you at this point, and I don't think I even got your name yet!

I'd be happy to teach you some hand-to-hand combat if you like. I made it to level three advanced in my hand-to-hand combat training. And if you'd like, I can also teach you how to fire a gun.

[badatmyjob]

Hmm, I don't know what you mean by level three, but it sounds good.

Ooh, a gun...? [He sounds unsure, but then shakes it off.] Right! A gun. Probably a good idea. Who're you? I'm Lukas.

[talkstomuch]

It mostly means that I could beat my team mates in hand-to-hand combat with one hand. Most likely.

9mm handguns are the easiest to start out with when you learn how to shoot, and those are the guns most commonly carried for protection. [Sam smiles and nods.] Samantha Carter. Sam will do though.

[badatmyjob]

Oooh, you sound like a tough one then~

I'll take your word on it. But I don't even know where to get stuff like that around here.

[girlrewired]

I'm OK with guns and other heavy weaponry...

[ well -- she's only good because they're built-in. ]

[badatmyjob]

[Lukas peers closer to the screen, blinking.] Huh? A little tiny thing like you uses heavy weapons?

[girlrewired]

Y-yes! I-It's - It's a long story! [ shrinking violet under that scrutinizing glance. she's not that young -- although even she has to admit that she's too short for her age. ]

[badatmyjob]

Well, I guess if you can prove it... Though do we have anything like that in Ruby City?

[heardramonasing]

"Lukas, bro..

In front of the church. Meet me there. Half an hour from now.

...

Bring a change of underwear."

well that was entirely the wrong icon.

[badatmyjob]

The church? Okay.

Wait, are you serious about that last part?

Re: well that was entirely the wrong icon.

[heardramonasing]

[Scott merely looks back into the communicator with a deadpan expression on his face.]

[badatmyjob]

...

I'll take that as a "yes". OK, Scott, if you insist!

[OK son, he will do so. Holding a spare pair of pants because he really has no idea.]

[stamen_n_stigma]

[Cue slightly worried nature spirit who still has no only the vaguest clue how to work the watches. As such, the feed is upside down.]

Is self defense that important? Have you had much of a need for it?

[badatmyjob]

Not until this whole jungle thing happened! Then there was suddenly dinosaurs and stuff and I thought I was gonna get eaten!

[stamen_n_stigma]

[Jungle and carnivores? Those, Dulce can handle.]

Sometimes it is more prudent to learn how to run, rather than fight.

[badatmyjob]

Oh, running I can do! Not a problem. But I figure, this should be, you know, a precautionary thing! There wasn't a lot of places to run in the jungle that was safe.
