So I'm going with Everglade PD. If they'll have me. But I'm stocking up on specialized bullets, just in case. And taking a bounty. -- Which is really weird to say. Don't worry, I'm not going Dog the Bounty Hunter, if anyone knows who that is.

Anyway, I'm taking recommendations on firearms, and specifically, anti-magic bullets. What is there that combats superpowers? Anything? And what's the normal defense against such things?

Oh annnnnd to all the Doctors and healers that helped first day, tha-- [Wow he can't even get the word out. WHY IS IT SO HARD?]

[Come on it's not like he's never said "Thank you" before!] That was righteous. [Someone help this idiot's slang. He's not even old enough to use the terms he is, they were outdated even when he was young. Save him.] I need some help testing it again for a bigger thing, though. You know. No big deal. [Which means it probably is...]

Oh, welcome to the force, sir~! I'm Detective Satou Kuroneko! Sounds like we'll be working together~.

I'm able to produce hand guns and bullets, if you need them. As for anti-magic bullets, I wouldn't say there's any such thing that you can rely on. Magic is different for everyone and there's never going to be a cover-all approach to nullifying it.

Is there a particular threat or resident that concerns you?

Hi Satou.

Really? I need some vampire ones for this week.

But err... no. I just heard that there was a cult killing magic users in Fayren, and even if it hasn't spread, I was trying to figure out the next move that would be needed to protect people here.

[priceofmagic]

Vampire ones, huh? According to myth, silver works for that... But silver is pretty expensive. Is it a daytime vampire problem, or something after hours here..?

As for a cult such as that one... Hmm. I carry my guns for those situations, or pre-load spells into cartridges so they can't be nullified as easily. The best we can do to protect everyone is to be diligent...

[There's a blink, as someone looks familiar and yet not.]

Back home, my partner used a modified rifle to shoot ki-based bullets. Or close enough to it to be effective, if not actual ki bursts. Not sure if they have something similar hear, but considering it's basically a burst of energy it should be a good basic type of round for you against most things. I'll ask Mai, or my mother--she's invented things like that before.

Also check with Torchwood, although they're not big on guns. We've been trying to more maintain good relations and peaceful coexistance between various beings--but some beings don't always play nice, and there are a lot of us working there with various skill sets who could help. I can ask and look into it, if you don't want to go there yourself.

[watcheddog]

What's ki?

That'd be nice. What's Torchwood do again?

Really feeling like a fish out of water now.

[light_of_willpower]

Torchwood is based on a similar organization from a version of Earth, from what I understand. Back there, it's based around defense and integration of extra-terrestrial beings and potential threats. Here it seems to have a similar mission, though mostly in the integration aspect, and is based in the Everglades. Also it deals with more than just aliens. For example, a restaurant designed to provide alternatives for those with a taste for things like human, who would rather not hunt humans or kill them.

[That's a lot to take in, and Trunks is understandably waiting to see if it prompts any further questions.]

Ki is, in it's simplest explanation, a form of life-energy.

*Faye likes firearms, so she's listening, but raises her eyebrows at mention of the bullets*

Anti-magic? They have something like that here?

[watcheddog]

Apparently. I wouldn't know much about it though, that's why I'm asking.

[myfayevalentine]

You'll help a girl out and share that info when you get it, won't you? Coming up against magic is a bitch in this place.

Mister detective.

What's a Pee Dee? What's that bounty hunter?

[watcheddog]

Mariko, hi! How's everything? [He got her a stuffed bunny he will send her as soon as he figures out how without Angelique strangling him.]

PD stands for Police Department. Bounty hunters go after bad guys too, but usually more violently and for a price. I don't usually like them much.

[tyke_bomb]

[Stuffed bunny!!]

My room isn't dark this time! [YES. It's a big deal!] Big sis got me a light when I sleep, I got a bed, I can wear clothes when I sleep, and bath time isn't cold water!

Why? Because they're more violent? But they're going after the bad guys. [Yeah, she doesn't quite get that.]

[brbgettingwrench]

I hope you don't plan on the whole shoot before they actually do anything kind of deal.

[Considering she has been studying the supernatural for medical purposes she doesn't like the idea of someone who might shoot first and ask questions after.]

video;

[watcheddog]

No, I don't. I'm a detective, not a murderer. Only as a last resort for self defense and that of my partner.

video;

[brbgettingwrench]

Well that's good. I know if people haven't dealt with anything like Everglade before they might have the mentally of shooting before they think type deal.

But really I think the place isn't that bad and I'm learning about the different beings medical wise.

[borntolove]

[Ten gets so stuck on the guns part he doesn't seem to catch the 'thank you'. There's a firm and is that your face growling with his teeth -?]

No guns Why do you need that for face? What do you expect to come of that with using that?

What good ever comes of it?

[Video]

[watcheddog]

Wow. You managed to find a name I hate worse than Emmett. Good job.

[Oh please, he perfected your face + angry growling, he's not about to be intimidated by it now.]

[ Video ]

[storiesofmyown]

[ Martha appears, looking as kind and professional as day 1. She's concerned about his chosen profession and the guns, but doctor first. ]

You're welcome, Emmett. You'll still need to handle with care when it comes to physical exertion, mind. And please don't hesitate to contact me directly at my Torchwood office if you need anything. No charge for video consultation. I'd rather you were healthy than that I got paid.

[ A small grimace as she glances of screen. ]

Rose and Senora Rivera probably don't agree, but we'll work it out if it becomes an issue.

[ Video ]

[watcheddog]

Right. Carver. Or Detective. If you wouldn't mind.

I kind of need someone to officially monitor my heart as a non-human does something. I took what you said seriously. About magic and electric eels.

Action At Torchwood

[watcheddog]

[He's trying to pretend he's not nervous.]

[Of course he IS because god damn. He hates Doctors and one of them has his face, but isn't even human and he needs to be chill or he'll get a heart attack and die anyway, but at least he'll have Doctors and electricity on hand.]

All right, there?

[As if he's not the one everyone will be focused on.]

Action At Torchwood

[deadlybang]

[Don't mind the baby succubus that's clinging to your arm. She's no idea how to help with the nervousness aside from that.]

You know, I''m sure that like we can do this another day if you really are like not feeling it today.

[singinghuntress]

Oh lovely anozher idiot vith a gun vith a gun running around Everglade. Ve're dangerous enough vithout someone shooting zhings up, law enforcement or not.

[watcheddog]

Thank you for that assessment of my capabilities.

One, I don't intend to shoot vampires just for being vampires. Two, I don't shoot anyone if I can avoid it. And three, I'm going after the vampire bounty. If you would like to suggest a way to disable them that doesn't involve murder, I'll be thrilled to hear it.

[keymemory]

Um, hullo! I combat superpowers! [ He chuckles. ] I can cast spells!

[watcheddog]

Yeah?

What kind?

Also come have dinner with me and Chrysalis before we go apartment hunting. It's important. I'll make gnocchi. And what's your favorite?
