okay Exsilium i actually got a question for you this time

see the Initiative kinda screwed me when it comes to weapons. as in, the one they gave me isn't really a weapon. i'd rather have gotten something to like punch or stab dudes with, so i guess i gotta do everything myself

thing is i'm only used to fighting with my fists and experience here's taught me that maybe i should get something more usable in combat. yeah i punch hard but it doesn't do shit against giant monsters or those masked assholes or guys in armor.

i've never used a weapon before so i don't even know where to start. also i don't know where to get one so i kinda need some help with that

anyway

a lot of you seem to know about this kind of shit so let me hear from you

Could you not simply request a replacement?

[charming_jerk]

[STUNNED SILENCE FOR A MOMENT. And then.]

Holy shit, I didn't they'd let that fly! I guess I could. I mean... What I DO have has its other uses. I don't like it, but I could keep and get a normal weapon too, then I'll have a back up.

[falsehoods]

What is it that you are currently armed with?

[priad]

Requisition something better then.

[video]

[charming_jerk]

I figured if I ask that, they'd tell me to fuck off. Can't I keep what I got, an' also just get like, I dunno, a badass knife or somethin' too? I don't need Exscalibur or somethin' here.

What kind of fighting skills do you have?

[charming_jerk]

Hand to hand, I guess? I mean, like, I never was formally taught or know martial arts or anythin' like that. I'm just really damn fast and know where to punch a guy to make it hurt.

just go to the hold and try out different weapons to see what you like during training

plenty of people here know how to use swords and guns and staffs so just ask them to teach you

[charming_jerk]

will they just let me try shit out? i guess i can give it a try, sure.

that's why i'm hoping to hear from someone who knows that kinda stuff. not like there's a lot of staff and sword wielding swashbucklers where i'm from

[gamblinman]

Dude, just get a gun. You can kill anything with a gun if you use enough bullets.

[charming_jerk]

I guess, but there ain't no fun in guns. Much more satisfyin' to hot 'em with your fists. Or in this case, I guess a knife or somethin'. I got no idea what kinda weapons they got.

how did they screw you when you are given an entire armory of equipment to choose from

i do not understand

[charming_jerk]

okay well

when i got here they said "hey you have a power, but it sucks and we can make it work better for you, what do you think about that" and i said yes

so i mean i still don't like it but it can be useful, plus i never used like a real weapon like a sword or a gun or whatever, so i had no idea what to pick anyway

i mean i barely knew what the hell was going on at the time, what with being kidnapped and sent thru time and all that

[payback]

Maybe you should try brass knuckles or something.

[charming_jerk]

I was thinkin' about that. That's pretty badass. Like some kinda gangster. But I figure, somethin' bladed might be good against the bigger stuff.

[bratworth]

Don't you think you've caused enough trouble with the abilities you do have?

[ Keeping an eye on you... ]

[charming_jerk]

don't you think that i don't give a damn about what you think?

sorry bro but there's troops to fight and monsters to kill, and i'm not going to stand around trying to charm the pants off of them during the middle of a battle

[painfeels]

Hold on. So what'd they give you?

[charming_jerk]

They fixed the "power" i have. charm ability. good for a lot of things but not good in a fight. not yet anyway.

[swissarmybow]

So what did they give you?

[charming_jerk]

[He sighs softly. He keeps having to explain this when he doesn't even like the power.]

They fixed the "power" I already had, since it was pretty much ruining my life. It's, uh, a charm ability.

if you want to learn how to use a dagger i can show you
or a quarterstaff

[charming_jerk]

dagger? actually yeah that's the kinda thing i'm thinking of going with. something portable. staff might be good down the line too. dunno as i never used one.

[fortissimos]

They have some in the armory, I think. I'm not really sure.

[ Not like she's ever needed to get a different weapon. ]

If you find something, I'll help you train.

[charming_jerk]

Everyone keeps tellin' me I oughta trade in what they gave me for a weapon. I mean, do I gotta do that? Can't a guy just go get himself, like, a normal knife?

Yeah, sure. More fun sparrin' against a person than a practice dummy.
