When do we start getting some real snow around here? I've seen a little here and there, but the stuff practically melts by the time it hits the ground! My real birthday is in November, but not, you know, the one it is in Luceti. I won't actually be, you know, seventeen this month. That's not the point. But back home, we have some pretty good blizzards this time of year. I mean, sure, there's snow all the time back home, but November snow is... special? Kind of? I'm just hoping we don't have to wait until December for the real stuff. Sunshine and flowers are great and all, but it's getting kind of old by now, you know?

[Filtered to Poland and Shikamaru]

I have your orders ready. Sorry they're a bit late. But, you know how it is. Throw in some super strength, stupid costumes, and hallucinations and you get a little behind. But they're good to pick up.

[Filtered to Katie]

I finished the sword you wanted. You know, the one you were going to make? But never did? At two in the morning? Yeah, I have it. You should come pick it up.

[Having let everyone know his feelings about the weather, as well as work related updates, Sokka settles into the smithy to get some work done and meet anyone coming to pick up their orders. Afterward, he decides to have some fun in the Battle Dome. He can either be stopped on his way there from the smithy, or someone can meet up with him there.]

[She'll be following of course -- and once they're unveiled, she'll be leaning over a bit to get a close look at them.

She does giggle a bit at his question while she does this, though.]

Of course, of course! I wouldn't ask for something so dangerous if I didn't know how to use it.

[She may think this is funny, but it's srs business!]

Hey, I'm just making sure, that's all. There's plenty of people who don't even know what these are.

[Not to her, it ain't. Unless he tries to hold out on her, in which it will very quickly become srs business. But regardless of that--]

Is that right ...? I guess it's better to be safe than sorry either way. You wouldn't want to give something like this out to the wrong kind of person, after all!

I just don't want people shooting themselves in the foot, that's all. [He taps the glass.] See anything you like?

[She'll stand up straight and nod, pointing at a old model of an ordinary handgun.]

This one, please!

[He pulls it out and sets it out on the glass, none too worried. After all, it isn't loaded.]

How does it handle?

[She'll be picking it up, looking it over more closely and getting a feel for it. She'll nod to herself and smile after a few seconds of doing this.]

Hmmm ... well enough, it seems!

Great. You'll be shooting... whatever it is you need shooting in no time. [He kneels down and unlocks the safe with the ammo. When he stands back up, he sets some on the counter.] The Malnosso don't give us a lot of bullets, so this will have to do for now.

[She watches as he unlocks the safe -- ... interesting. So, the ammo was under lock and key, was it? ... Hmm. She'll need to be careful with her ammo then.]

That should be enough, anyway. [Smile! And she'll be putting both the gun and the bullets in her purse. In separate compartments, of course. She'll load it when she gets home.] Heehee, it's so strange, to be able to take things like these without having to pay!

Seriously, I wish I could have done this back home. There were a lot of cool weapons I could never afford. [Ah, to own some of those nice swords... spears... axes... and everything.]

It would be nice, to be able to do this back home too ... But the world would very quickly become a much more dangerous place, too!

This place would too. But for some reason, the Malnosso seem to pick mostly the heroic types. I mean, you walk into a room and at least half the people in there will have saved at least a small village.

Ah, is that so? I had no idea! I wonder if there's some reason for that ...

Oh, probably. We're 'special'. That's what the blue guy in charge says anyway.

[... Oh, this is new.]

... 'blue guy'?

Yeah, his name is Catherine. He's the guy in charge of the Malnosso, apparently. [He makes a wheel motion around his ear.] He's pretty crazy.

[... The fact that the guy's name is clearly a female's doesn't make Takano doubt this. But still ... in charge of the Malnosso, eh.]

I guess it would take a crazy person to think up something like this, heehee! [But much more importantly--] Does he speak with the people here at all?

Yeah, sometimes. On the journals anyway. Usually just when he wants something from us.

Oh? He has us locked here and yet asks things of us? It's like a prison guard asking favors of the prisoners, isn't it?

Uh, well I guess so? But he usually offers us stuff in return... and makes it sound like we're helping ourselves.

Really ...? [... That IS interesting. Hm. She'll definitely have to talk to this guy whenever he decides to contact the village next.] What a strange person ... hmm.

[WELP.] Anyway, I shouldn't keep you much longer -- I wouldn't want you to miss out on any other customers, after all! Heeheehee ...

Yeah, sure. Good luck with the uh, gun. Try not to shoot anybody. [Oh, a thought occurs to him.] If you want to do target practice, there's that new battle dome. Or the barracks. I know a guy, he could probably help you out, too.

The battle dome, and the barracks ... I see. [The chances of her actually make use of them are extremely low, especially if bullets aren't abundant here, but just in case ...] And who is this guy you know?

Michael Blanc. He's a uh, sniper. [Hoping she knows that that means.]

[... Sniper, huh. Hmm ...]

A sniper ... I'll have to speak with him sometime then! [Welp! With that, Takano flashes on last smile before turning away and starting to head for the entrance] Thank you for all your help! I greatly appreciate it!
