ninth prophecy ☄ video

[etoaktagamat]

I have been here a while and learned many things from the creatures here.

[Leeloo is sitting cross legged at the foot of her bed with something in her hand. That something is what looks to be a gun. This one prehistoric compared to what she's used to.]

Weapons are not one of those things. I am more skilled with my hands. I have no use for something like this. Ma'oolzi. ["Stupid."]

Who would like to barter? If you would like this we can exchange. Best offer will win! And you must meet me to trade.

[She didn't care for money, not really. So whoever wants the revolver needs to make it worth her while.]

Souk! ["Look!"

Leeloo angles the recorder from her wrist to show she's sitting on a case of ammunition. The right calibur for the gun.]

This also. They came together. I just wanted to see. For myself.

Imanécocha achan'chinou assta fänko jesset bom felset. ["Machines such as these do little but destroy."]

Derek Hale? I won you, from before. Now I would like my date. That is the purpose of the auctions. Your friends were not very kind when it came to your descriptions. I would like to see for myself.

It's a gun, you just point and shoot. You don't need any skills to do that.

[etoaktagamat]

I am well aware, but I do not like them much. I would rather trade this away.

[omittance]

Can't help you there - already got a couple of my own. [ A revolver. Shotgun(s). Handgun(s). Rifle. Bow. He's good. ] But if you ever change you're mind you just gotta holler. Might be able to show you a thing or two, I guess.

[etoaktagamat]

Thank you for your offer. I will keep it in mind.

[She had no desire to learn about guns, she's familiar enough and she knows how to use them. The problem was that she preferred hand to hand combat.]

We have not met yet, I think. My name is Leeloo.

[geliebt]

It is a war zone. If you don't have an alternative weapon, it may be smart to keep a hold of that.

[Video]

[etoaktagamat]

If it is the same to you, I would rather rely on me and my instincts. Devices such as these would only hinder me in a fight.

[geliebt]

[Seimei chuckles.]

Not many are as capable in a fight! I suppose I assumed you to be as anyone else.

[[ ooc; just a note - so this is a lady dressed up as a dude, convincingly enough to fool a lot of pirates for a long time. so just letting you know, pronouns in this will all say her/she, but it should look and sound completely like a young man /o/ ]]

[ oh that is... shiny and fancy. much fancier than the 18th century pistols she's used to. wouldn't hurt to have one of those, tbh. okay, so, bartering with trade or other weapons seem out of the picture, hm... ]

That leaves a wide range for offers. What is it you're looking for, lass? Money, shiny baubles, information? Company? Entertaining stories?

video;

[etoaktagamat]

Whatever you would like to offer. I have no need for worldly things, but maybe you will have something that might change that?

[kidder]

Hm. I may. We'll have to see.

[ She's going to take a moment to go find a sack she's got stuffed under her bed and dump it out onto the mattress, various knickknacks scattereing everywhere. There'll be a sundry of different things, from some Mayan looking coins and jewelry, carved stones anywhere from dull grey to a prettier turquoise. There's some gold coins, looking with Spanish or, again, Mayan. A few other shiny thing like gems and jewelry and such (that she might have jacked from places in Asgard oops), along with some impliments for sailing - a spyglass, a compass and maybe a rudimentary sextant. she's a pirate so being a pack rat is a thing. ]

Any of this mess seem of interest? Beyond that, we've still got information, company, favors owed and the like.

[mccallmemaybe]

You want a date with Derek? [ But why. ] Good luck with that.

video;

[etoaktagamat]

Not in the terms you would put it. I have nothing to gain from those things. I simply want to learn.

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

You want to learn more about him or how to be grumpy? Because the latter is the only thing I can think of him teaching you and he's a pretty private guy...

video.

[predators]

[ he very nearly ignores this entirely. ]

That is normally the purpose, yes.

[ SO UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS. ]

video.

[etoaktagamat]

You should not worry. I want nothing that most would expect on dates. What I would like is company, and to learn. I will leave where we meet up to you.

video.

[predators]

[ errgghh christ he hates everything. ]

What are you hoping to learn exactly?

[Severus is a little proud of himself at having understood a few of those words. The lessons in Divinian are slowly paying off. Very slowly.]

Stupid, you say? [At least, he's pretty certain ma'oolzi means 'stupid'. In fact, no, he's certain of it.]

private video;

[etoaktagamat]

I do say. I am not fond of weapons like these. They only hurt and destroy. Most times for the wrong reasons.

private video;

[albuquerque]

While I agree that guns are... pedestrian at best, we do have to make use of what available weapons there are here in Asgard. I can't deny that guns are, at the very least, effective means of self-defence.

[unsparing]

Your hands aren't gonna save you when you're dealin' with an enemy that specializes in long range weaponry. You're better off keeping that gun handy.

Just in case.

video;

[etoaktagamat]

I appreciate your words, but I will be fine without the gun and its bullets. I would rather fight on my own terms.

video;

[unsparing]

It won't always be on your terms. Take it from someone who's lived twenty years of her life fighting.

video;

[digophelia]

Would you not be better of keeping that?

video;

[etoaktagamat]

Others have told me so. I choose to trade it to where it will be more useful and rely on my instincts instead.

[digophelia]

Natural instincts? Such as what? A knife?
