An Odd Church

Edy's distaste for the Sparkbird did surprise Adam a little after everyone he'd met so far had seemed indifferent or reverent of it. What had it done to her? Maybe she was pissed that no one was trying to eat the big spicy bird, like he was. He almost immediately said 'sparky shit' ten times in a row, but managed to hold his tongue. Edy's powers did definitely seem like the kind of thing that could kill him (or worse, ruin his hair) so he didn't want to mess with them until he knew her well enough to get away with teasing. Besides, her confusion over his guns was much more bewildering. Had she never seen a pistol before? Her notion that he should throw it forced a surprised guffaw from Adam, who tossed his head back as he laughed at the idea. "Uh. No." He glanced about in the temple to see if there were any good targets, but not really; the noise would draw too much attention and with a frown, he realised he had only the 6 shots in his guns already. With a dramatic demonstration off the cards for now, he pushed the chamber from the gun with a faint click and drew out a bullet into his hand, held it up for her to see. "Shoots these out. Can kill a guy with one good shot to the head, but I don't do that. Mostly just aim for shit to slow people down." adam Mistreat your Altar Boys long enough and this is what you get Sad and angry... can't learn how to behave Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave

EDREI happy ending? sorry this isn't disney. With narrowed eyes, Edy looked into his palm. What she saw was just a small piece of metal? with a rounded nose. She'd seen arrowheads larger than it was. She was no archer by any means, but she understood enough to know that metal flung at high speeds could do damage. Still, she couldn't really see what the mechanism was to make any sort of flinging-motion given that the gun looked like just a hung of metal itself. "Just guys, huh? So I'm safe?" Edy purred, following it up with a laugh. If anyone was gonna start a womens-rights movement, it wouldn't be Edy. She had no problem calling him out on his choice of words, though. "So what's this thing called, anyways?" She asked with mild curiousity, just as Bobi jumped up onto the seat next to Adam. The not-so-little kitten give him a distrustful look, her tail-less hind-end wiggling slightly as if she meant to pounce. Then, in a completely anticlimactic display, she merely flopped down onto her back and pawed up at one of his hands with all-too large paws.

"Har har. For what it's worth, I don't actually kill anyone." Once he had been ashamed of his weakness, his inability to end the life of another; in some of the communities he'd travelled in it had been a mark of honour to tell someone how many lives you'd ended. But as he'd gotten older he'd stopped giving so much of a shit about making a good impression on people who'd betray him in a heartbeat, and instead held to his own internal moral code. Which meant no killing. "It's a gun. This is a pistol, specifically. Y'really never seen a fucking gun before? That's so weird." They had been pretty commonplace in his world, most people had had some kind of firearm to guard themselves with - he began to realise in a world without he could be in a position of some power...except that. Oh. Magic. Adam looked down as he felt something soft on his hand and upon seeing a cat, grinned. "Oh, hey!" Immediately he went to try and gently scratch at Bobi's tummy and make dignified cooing noises. adam Mistreat your Altar Boys long enough and this is what you get Sad and angry... can't learn how to behave Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave

EDREI happy ending? sorry this isn't disney. "No?" Edy replied with a casual shrug. "I have." She added with a shockingly laid-back tone. But then again when you were raised to be a soldier and to hone your magic into something deadly, taking lives sort of came with the territory. "Well fuck you too." Edy trilled with a laugh, the look of amazement on her face indicating that no, she really hadn't seen a gun before. Yowling happily, Bobi tried to grab at one of Adam's fingers and chew on gently. He smelled of something fiery and earthy that the kitten didn't understand, but she liked it just the same. Had she a tail it would have been flicking happily as she wrapped her comically large and fluffy paws around his hand. Stretching her arms out, Edy rose from her seat with a yawn. "Well, I should be getting back. I work downstairs though at the Rathskeller. Come by if you ever want a drink, yeah? Or if you ever wanna take those drugs instead of just counting them." She added with a playful grin.
