AROUND SHIBUSENcheckoutmyjugsDecember 16 2011, 13:19:55 UTC
Around ShibusenKilik was nervous. This was his first time leading a new area on one of these tours. Here it was just him, and him alone. How Crona had managed to do it at all was very surprising -- but with the way the kid had stuttered his/her way through the written index cards, Kilik was probably brimming with confidence in comparison. Of course, he had his own set of cue cards that he had carefully written himself and when he read, it sounded more like the beginnings of a school report than anything
( ... )
"Heh...I guess that's probably the wrong choice of words," Kilik scratched the back of his head idly with a sheepish laugh. "They're the only ones actively given weapons, rather. The guests can have them. We don't hand them out or even really sell them because the whole point of Shibusen is to work with human partners. But I do know of some who carry them just for the security of it. And in the Watch, sometimes people don't have those partners readily available on their shifts."
That's odd for him to hear--he'd expected everyone would carry a weapon; after all, they had and had all needed to, in the world of the conflict. But...he can understand, sort of, why the Shibusen people would prioritize their strange partnership way of fighting. He's not sure he agrees with it, but he can understand the priority.
But, if they're not sold anywhere... "How would one procure a weapon here?"
"You could either join the Watch or I know some people have ordered them online." ....this guy doesn't look like someone who's familiar with online shopping. "Er....once you get better with using the DEMISE network, you could try that. It's shopping through your communicator and then having it sent to you through the mail."
What the other man just explained is very foreign to him, but he takes a bit of time to work through it--the world of the conflict had had no post, let alone an internet, but the idea of using a communicator to contact someone, request a piece, and give a location for them to bring it to--it all makes sense.
"Not a problem!" It was becoming easier dealing with people who had little by means of their world's technology. Still, it never ceased to amuse him when someone would marvel over seeing electricity in action for the first time.
Did he have questions? At once he did--there was so much here, and so little that he knew and understood--and at the same time, he did not. What he did not know was like a mountain--huge, imposing, impossible to be contained and answered in a simple question. How did he even begin?
"I think I can handle things from here." He would keep this man's face in mind, though--in the event that he was wrong.
