Are there any flamethrowers in Mayfield? How do I get one?

Unrelated, someone who has killed their target and is willing to talk, I have a question...

Pokey.

[Curious, walking behind the house.]

Learning to use a gun?

[strike_you_out]

[The fact that Johan loiters around his home on what might be a semi-regular basis comes as no real surprise to Slugger. Today he may seem a bit on edge, though, as Johan approaches.]

I thought it might be wise...

[Without raising it, he switches the revolver from one hand to the other to shake his wrist. That recoil was something to get used to.]

[hungry_monster]

[Johan notices, but doesn't comment on that.]

It's a good skill to have.

Would you like some pointers?

[strike_you_out]

[He replies eagerly.]

[The noise is certainly enough to spook your not!Dad, Slugger. He peers tentatively out of the house, stunned at what he finds.]

...where did you get that?

[strike_you_out]

[Turning his head, Slugger keeps the revolver trained on the ground. Might as well be totally honest...]

A friendly guy.

[puzzlerprince]

It wasn't our dear friend, Mr. Liebert, was it?

[strike_you_out]

No.

[He takes a bullet from his pants pocket.]

Did you get a reward?

Phone

[godisachild]

[Sorry Slugger. It took Pokey a bit to get the phone because he's slightly out of it from the painkillers he's taken for his shoulder. When he does answer the phone, it's pretty clear how out of it he is from his slurred voice.]

What? What-what is'it? What do ya want?

Did you just wake up?

[godisachild]

Naw. Haven't slept in...in a day. 32 hours...yeah, 32 hours since I slept.

...Did you get a letter?

I'm sure the explanation for this will be completely satisfactory for the many, many objections I'm about to raise.

[strike_you_out]

[That depends on whether she wants the entire list or just the short of it. He'll start with the most obvious...]

We've lost our powers and are surrounded by dangerous idiots?

[deaths_heritor]

Contrary to popular belief, 'if you can't beat them, join them' is, in actuality, not a philosophy you ought to follow.

[strike_you_out]

Other people in the house should know how to use one...

[People besides Edward.]
