Em's Armory: [witty subtitle here]

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.

Emerson

*The door of the Armory are unlocked, and the heat once again flows out into open air.
Come one, come all to the new and improved Armory! Now with... ok, there's nothing new. But we can still make weapons and stuff!*

Starwaddle

*walks in dressed as Seto Kiaba* hey Em. I'm here to order some parts for the VBV1.

Ragna

*The white-haired man walks in with his eyes closed and an unexpressive face. Trying not to appear suspicious or weird.*

Hello, would you please show me what kind of armors you have?

*Ragna refuses to look at the owner as he speaks in a nice, gentle way. Although, it sounds REALLY forced.*

Nyx_Avatar

[A Birb man crashes through the door breaking it completely while landing in the armory and scattering black feathers everywhere.]

"Sup, homeslizzle?"

Emerson

@Starwaddle
Sure thing, Star. What specifically?

@Ragna
U-um... we've got plenty of armor. We've got some set up around, and if none of those are satisfactory, I take custom orders.

@Nyx_Avatar
... Excuse me, sir, I'm going to have to ask for compensation for the damage done to my building.

Nyx_Avatar

[The Birb man looks around at the broken debri.]

"Ah, I see. Do you accept bottlenose as compensation?"

Ragna

(Ragna finally open his eyes and looks around for a quick moment.)

Too big, too small...too flashy...

(He looks at a very particular piece of armor with incredulousness.)

Seriously? How the hell can something akin to swimsuit be considered a weapon?

Emerson

@Nyx_Avatar
Depends on what that even is. Because, if I may be frank, I have absolutely no clue.

@Ranga
Huh? What're you...

*Em notices the armor Ragna is referring to.*

Oh, god damn it Anna! That's not funny!

*He quickly grabs the armor and sets it behind the counter.*

I'm sorry, that's not even actual armor. It was a joke project from a few weeks back...

DetectiveHonoka

*Honoka walks inside, twirling his gun on one finger. It has a large, and very concerning crack in the barrel.*

How the hell did I even manage to do this? It's downright silly. Well, whatever. I've been looking to get some bigger hardware anyway.

*He turns to the counter*

Don't suppose I can look at your selection of handguns, no?

Tatsuya

*He walks in through the door swaying slightly*
Hello people how goes it!?

*He glances to Ragna*
Ah you look new, tell me newbie are you good in a fight?

Nyx_Avatar

[The Birb man brings out the carcuss of a bottlenose dolphin.]

"You know, bottlenose. Humans eat fish and stuff from the ocean right?"

Emerson

@DetectiveHonoka
Sure, we've got a good variety out in the main room here, and I've got plenty more in the back if you can give me some specifics on what you want.

@Tatsuya
Hey, Tats. Just business as usual. You need some maintenance on that sword?

@Nyx_Avatar
... I really hope Jotaro doesn't walk in right now...
Anyways, I'm pretty sure that's illegal to even have so... no, I don't accept it as a compensation.

Starwaddle

*puts the VBV1 on the counter* specifically, I want a few parts that can rotate. I've been thinking about making the blade rotate, but then I got to thinking a bit more, and now I need a few parts that can rotate, and if possible, a small body for a flying drone.

Ragna

You're not wrong when you say you sell jokes.

(Ragna turns around and prepares to leave, and the Tatsuya interrupts him with his dumb question. The man with the red coat glares at him.)

What the hell!?
What kind of dumbass question is that!? Do you wanna die or something!?

Tatsuya

*He chuckles* Em I helped build this baby, I do my own maintenance my friend.

*He thinks for a moment*
Do need more Dust though, that stuff is handy gotta admit.

Nyx_Avatar

"I see...bye!"

[The Birb man exists through the broken door and flies away.]

Tatsuya

*He laughs*
Wanna die!? Nah I'm just interested in keeping my skills sharp pal, you look like you know how ta handle yourself. *His face turns to a wry smirk* It's pretty much my thing to spar with anyone honestly.

DetectiveHonoka

*He presses a finger to his chin, and thinks for a second.*

Anything easy to conceal I guess. I have this.

*He draws a small snub-nosed pistol from the inner pocket of his suit*

But I need something bigger, you know? I had this thing, but you can tell what kind of shape it's in.

*He places his old handgun on the counter, and points to the damage it's recieved.*

Ragna

(He lets out a loud sigh and keeps glaring at him with a scowl.)

Then go and spar with a dummy or something like that, maybe a kid.
Don't make me lose my time...besides, you look like you could break your leg anytime, old man.

Emerson

@Starwaddle
Er... I think I've got something...

*Em brings out some parts that spin at the press of a button, and a hand-sized drone chassis.*

Will this work? The drone would have to be given some inside mechanics since I had to remove them for another project...

@Ragna
Heh, laugh all you want, this stuff's the real deal. I don't slouch when it comes to my work...
What, you want a little showcase or something? Tats would gladly show off one of my works, wouldn't you, Tatsuya?

*He smiles to Ragna, before looking over towards Tatsu for an answer.*

@DetectiveHonoka
Hmm... well, the reason it's not big is BECAUSE it's easy to conceal, so you really have to choose one or the other...
And I do have the tools to fix this baby up, anyways. Although, it might just be easier to by another of the same gun.

Starwaddle

Oh, snap! Heh, I may just take a crack at sparing today, thinking about it now. Would be nice to show off what the VBV1 can do. And yeah, this works. Drone could be a bit bigger, but for what it is, it'll do. Hmm... actually, now that I think about it, any armor you have that's resists electricity or wind?

Emerson

Hmm... electricity, yes, but wind is kind of... weird to work against. But I can do electricity. That just requires some insulation, and you've got yourself a nice electricity resistant piece of armor.

DetectiveHonoka

Well, the little one is just a backup in case the first one fails me for some reason. Regardless, I guess I'll just take another of these.

*He points to his damaged weapon*

No need to waste time fixing it, it's just a gun.

Tatsuya

Old Man eh? Heh you're funny there Mr silly haircut, I wonder if the spikes can be used as a weapon? *He gives the man a false smile* Well let's find out.

*He glares at Ragna and looks... As though he's ready to murder, then draws his blade as Hyperion Appears behind him and casts Heat Riser*

Tch I'm not in the mood for this mocking, I'll give you a showcase alright Em!

*Before Tatsu rushes over while his blade spins up
and swings it towards Raggy's chest with stunning speed*

BonafideMonafide04

*Walks in* Hey em. I'm gonna need a bag of shurikens.

DetectiveHonoka

*At seeing Tatsuya's aggression, the detective jumps and assumes the tried and true fetal position*

H-HEY! Calm down over there man! I detest violence, so please don't do that, in front of me or otherwise.

Starwaddle

Great. All I need is a basic set, nothing fancy. I'll work on it back at my place. Hmm... actually...how about I just do it here? There's enough room out back for a portable shrine and forge, and materials aren't a problem, seeing as how I carry everything in my inventory now. You mind if I set up shop here as well? Perhaps become partners in business? And Tatsuya, if you're going to fight, take it out back, would ya?

Emerson

@DetectiveHonoka
Alright, I'll get right on-

*Em notices Tatsu going for Ragna.*

Hey! Take it outside! Or... to the battleground out back. That works too.
Well I mean that IS outside so... yeah.

*He then goes to the back and retrieves a gun of the same model as the broken one Honoka has.*

Here. Will this work?

@BonafideMondfide04
Oh, hey. And sure, can do, Bona.

*Em heads to the back and returns with a medium size bag of shurikens.*

BonafideMonafide04

Thanks. How much?

Ragna

(Ragna lets out a really loud growl as he stops Tatsuya's attack iin a really sudden way with his Blood Scythe.)

Why the hell do I have to deal with the weird pieces of shit!?
Out of my way!!

(The white-haired man tries to launch him into the air with a single movement of his sword.)

Emerson

Hmm... that's not a bad idea, Star. I can probably get some extra space going on, maybe even extend the building to allow for you to set something up, actually. I'm a man of aesthetics, after all.

Hmm... like... 1250 yen? It's not much, are barely anyone buys them, so I've got a good stock...

*He then looks directly at Ragna.*

Hey! I said move this out of the damn room! Don't make me do it myself!

*He pulls a light blue box from the counter, and readies himself to use it.*

Emerson

OOC: The money thing was to Bona, btw, not Star.

Tatsuya

*He leaps out of the way and sheaths his blade*
Okay stop insulting me Mr edgy hair, I'm really just pissed you don't think I can fight.

*He smirks in amusement*
But like Em said if I'm gonna fight you it should be elsewhere, he is a friend after all so can't just trash the place!

DetectiveHonoka

*He regains his composure, and picks up the gun*

Wow mister, you had the exact same model back there? Man, this Nexus place sure is something. Anyway, what do I owe you?

Ragna

I don't give a shit about this place, and I don't want to fight some crappy, weak old man!!

*Ragna lets out a loud growl of frustration again and prepares to leave.*

If you keep going, I really WILL kill you, if that's what you're looking for.

Starwaddle

Great. *Goes out back and sets up a mini Shrine and Forge before coming back in* the shrine and forge is set up, complete with it's own little building. so, about that basic electric resistant armor...how long will it take to make a set? And don't talk about how much this is gonna cost, because I'll just plop a bag or sack of yen on the counter like usual.

Emerson

@DetectiveHonoka
3100 yen. And, like I said, I've gotten a fairly sizable amount of gun models here, from a few multiverses even. Lucky me, I suppose.

*He immediately jolts his head towards Ragna, looking pissed.*

Oh, you BETTER give a shit about this place, or I'll make you give a shit! If you think you're so tough, fighting two of us should be no big deal, huh?!

*The box whirs to life, and the it extends and folds into it's scythe form.
He immediately returns to his calm composure as he talks to Star.*

Maybe a day. It's not too hard. And, yeah, I doubt I'll even ask you then question again...

Tatsuya

*Hyperion blurs into Apollo and lashes a at flame whips Ranga trying to grab him and smash him around the room as Tatsuya sighs*

Okay I guess I can cover the damages Em, *he glares at Rangna* As for you ya little bastard, *he shrugs* Eh I can keep this from getting lethal and shattered bones never hurt anyone... Or ruptured organs right?

*As Apollo does this he switches his blade into a machine gun loaded with Gravity Dust rounds and begins firing at Ragna while backing away*

BonafideMonafide04

*gives him 2000 yen*
Keep the change. Seeya! *he poofs away with the shurikens*

The_Hunter

*he enters in*

I'm back guys!

Starwaddle

Good. And I guess I might as well. *Picks the VBV1 and presses a tiny button on it, and suddenly, a pole comes out from inside the handle while the laser edges become more curved, turning the weapon into a scythe...with an awkwardly placed gun attached* heh, I've been wanting to show off a bit.

Emerson

*He turns to Hunter.*

Hey, now's not the best time. I'll serve you in a little bit, ok?

The_Hunter

I'll wait. And do I see the host of the Black Beast?

Ragna

Is that all you got!? Try to dodge this, grandpa!

(Says Ragna as he hits a wall thanks to Tatsuya's attack, but is able to pull up a barrier when he notices the coming rounds. After a second or two, he steps out of the way and jumps straight into Tatsuya while his left hand is covered in darkness, going for a straight punch.)

Hell's Fang!!

(After this, he goes for another move with his right hand, summoning the head of a beast made out of darkness that lunges at him.)

Starwaddle

... I'm kinda surprised no one is surprised about my sword being a scythe as well, considering this pole shouldn't fit, but oh well...and don't say anything about Yang's Uncle, I know already. But seriously, this pole doesn't fit at all...and I should make it so I can detach the gun if I need to...maybe install more guns for each form? Hmm... that's a nice idea...meh, I'll work on it later... along with the TankvonMecha, but seeing as how I haven't used it much, I'll work on this first.

The_Hunter

... He's a angry son-of-a-bitch agree Star?

Starwaddle

Indeed he is. If one of them gets tossed my way, I'm kicking them... hopefully in the nuts, but it'll probably be the ass. Maybe if I'm lucky, they'll go through a window.

Tatsuya

*He smirks and steps out of the way of the punch before raising his blade up to block the beast head and getting pushed back a few feet*

Not bad at all Spikes but if you think an obvious attack will work on me think again!

*He reaches down to grab a frag grenade with his left hand then tosses it towards R landing around his body, and he changes Apollo into Sarsvati who calls forth a wall of Earth between them with spikes jutting out towards Ragna*

The_Hunter

*he laughs at the idea and hands Star with a Kirkhammer*

Use this to swing at him. I gotta watch.

Starwaddle

...*takes it with a grin on her face* oh, this will be fun... hehehe...

Emerson

*He notices Tatsu's strategy, and smirks.*

Heh, typical Tats. But I can do you one better!

*Em creates walls of hard light on the other 3 sides of Ragna, and finishes it off with a ceiling, all of which have spikes pointing inwards towards Ragna.*

My magic flows throughout this whole place! Thanks to that, I can do stuff like this!

The_Hunter

Hey Ragna! Heads up!!!

Ragna

Spikes you say!

(Ragna's sword is covered in a powerful, dark energy as it summons an even bigger creature, intercepting the wall of earth and completely shattering it.)

If you think that conventional elements and some dumb weaponry is enough...!!

(With a quick movement, Bloodedge is able to back away from the granade and kicks it towards the ceiling just before it explodes, barely even fazed by it. He then dashes to the front and grabs Tatsuya by the neck, slamming him against the floor with all he has.)

Are you done yet!? Idiot...!

The_Hunter

*he decks Ragna on the head with a spare kirkhammer*

That outta make him stop his temper tantrum.

Starwaddle

...I kinda wanted to see what happened, but oh well, probably won't stop him anyway.

The_Hunter

I decked him on the back of the head and it worked.

Starwaddle

Uhh.. Hunter? I think you pissed him off... along with everyone else...

DetectiveHonoka

*Leaving the money on the counter, he ducks behind the counter. The tension in the room keeps building as the unsettling silence keeps going*

Ragna

(Ragna suddenly stops fighting Tatsuya and turns his attention to Hunter. He slowly turns around to face him. The strike just felt like a nice pat on the head of the Grim Reaper. Ragna gives him nothing but a death stare.)

The hell was that...!?

The_Hunter

Getting your attention. And it worked!

Tatsuya

*He stands around for several minutes before simply sighing and turning to Hunter* What the fuck man, why did this require you to interfere? I mean were any of us really taking this seriously?

*He looks at the other two* I certainly wasn't actually trying to kill anybody and I'd of covered any damages. So yeah don't see the concern? *He looks curiously at them all*

Ragna

Seriously!? Couldn't you have said something like "Hey, stop fighting" or "Yo, Spikes, quit it"
I didn't even come here to fight, but this drunk old man was getting annoying.

(Ragna keeps glaring at Hunter.)

Still, don't try that little stunt of your again.

Emerson

Gods, yes that was a bit... uncalled for. You really thought to do that? Not cool, man. Not cool.

*He disengages Ragna, and looks towards Hunter with a unamused stare.*

Tatsuya

*He stows his blade and walks away*
Tch. I'm not exactly in the mood for this... But meh I overreacted here, let's just all give this up, no reason to keep fighting.

Ragna

Seriously, everywhere I fucking go...

(Ragna, with a frustrated look on his face, walks towards the door.)

Emerson

Yeah, same here, Tats. Just got a little heated over something that didn't really matter in the long run.

*He returns to behind the counter, and looks at Ragna.*

So, you wanted some armor, right... er...
What is your name anyways?

Starwaddle

Yeah...*hands Hunter his hammer back* welp, I'll be around I guess. *Leans on the wall*

DetectiveHonoka

*Honoka wipes he brow as the fighting subsides a bit, and walks toward the door.*

Nice job not ruining everything for once,

*He places a hand on Ragna's shoulder*

Mister Grim Reaper.

Tatsuya

*He looks down sheepishly*
Yeah I uh took those way too personal honestly Em, at any rate thanks for that Hunter.

The_Hunter

Alright but I like your sense of humor Ragna. Just trying to prove a point that you're thickheaded when it comes to talking. Both figuratively and literally!

*he busts out laughing*

Ragna

There's nothing here that I need, and the name's Ragna.

(Right before he opens the door, he is stopped once again by a stranger. He turns around and glares at this new person. He is surprised by the "nickname", no one here should know about it.)

Do I know you? The hell do you want?

Emerson

Eh, fair. You're pretty damn tough. I doubt anything here would really bolster your combat abilities, unfortunately. Just took that comment to heart a bit.
Nice meetin' ya, I guess. Take care or something, Rag.

*He leans back on a wall behind the counter, and makes some darts and a dartboard out of hard light. He then practices his aim with it.*

The_Hunter

Oh come on... YOU are the BLOODEDGE everyone knows you!

DetectiveHonoka

*He chuckles a bit*

No no, we've never met. I know your face though, I know about your bounty too. Isn't it funny? I know the name of a random stranger, but not my own. I really am screwed, aren't I?

*With that, he removes his hand from Ragna's shoulder, and starts leaving the area*

Starwaddle

A bounty? Heh, sounds like a nice prize...if I wasn't rich and couldn't screw the rules I have money. Looks like I have someone new to fight with at some point...

Ragna

Just leave me the fuc-

(Ragna's eyes widden for a moment, and he hold his head with his right hand as a strange sensation fills his mind. He then glares at Honoka before he is able to leave.)

This feeling...you...just who the hell are you and what do you know...!?

DetectiveHonoka

*He stops dead in his tracks and turns his head back at Ragna*

I'm a detective by trade, I think? I don't have any memories, just woke up in this weird Nexus place, and kept getting weird letters. Had things like a name to use, what I did before I lost my memories, and some weird clues to follow that have given me insight as to how this whole nexus place works, and more importantly chunks of my memories.

Who knows, maybe we HAVE met and I just don't remember it.

*Honoka shrugs after explaining himself, and keeps walking*

Ragna

Hmm.

(Ragna shakes his head, trying to ignore the weird senseation.)

I didn't catch your name.

DetectiveHonoka

I go by Honoka, I'd appreciate it if you remembered it.

*By now, the detective is long gone, having disappeared into the distance*

Starwaddle

Meh, it's getting late, so I'll head home now actually. Oh, and Ragna? Make sure that grimoire doesn't fall into the wrong hands, okay? Heheheh... your fate is interesting, to say the least. Oh, one last thing! if you meet the Yakumo, I recommend you listen to her so you can get rid of her faster. Well, take care everyone! *Suddenly disappears*

Ragna

(Ragna lets out a loud sigh of annoyance and frustration.)

Gimme a break...

(After this, he leaves.)

Arisu

*At this point Alice has arrived. She'd ignore everyone and go straight to the counter that Em was behind, a determined look on her face. She throws down her wallet on the counter then crosses her arms grinning.*

Em. The ammo for my gun if you'd please!

Emerson

*Em reabsorbs the light from the darts and dartboard, and grabs something from behind the counter, and hands it to Alice. It's a bag full of ammunition for her gun.*

I was waiting for you to show up, honestly. Here you go.

Arisu

*Alice takes the amount of yen out of her wallet to cover the cost of the ammo, placing it on the counter and then receiver her goods.*

Heheh... I just needed a little more time is all. Money wasn't an issue of course!!

Emerson

Heh, of course. Stop by if you need anything else.

*He returns to throwing darts at a dartboard, which he reforms.*

Arisu

Wait I'm actually not done. I brought the gun and I was kinda wondering if you could uhm...

*She seems quite embarrassed about this next part. She lowers her head and whispers it to Em.*

Sh-show how me to load the gun?

Emerson

*Sigh*
Alright, so first...

*Em explains to Alice how to load the gun.*

OOC: sue me i dont want to write that out

Arisu

OOC: Understandable.

*After having messed around with her gun thanks to Em's help, Alice seems to finally be getting it. She'd stash the loaded gun away, not even bothering to put the safety on.*

I think I understand now. Uhm, thanks for helping a beginner out.

*She rubs the back of her head shyly.*

Emerson

It's fine. Don't worry about it, everyone has to go through this at some point.
I think.

*He cheekily smiles, before putting a hand to his chin and shifting his expression to a more thoughtful one.*

This does feel kinda weird though... Y'know, teaching people probably older than me to wield a gun...
I guess it's just a bit ingrained in how I live my life that I've never thought about how some people haven't had the chance to learn.

Arisu

O-older than you!? It's not like I'm calling myself a grandma over here Em, I'm only 18! How old are you!?

*Having brought her age into question, Alice has reverted to fluster mode. Who honestly calls a girl old and expects a positive reaction?*

Emerson

E-er, sorry! I meant that less in a "you're old" kind of way and more a "I'm young" way.
I'm actually only 16... I guess it's not like a massive gap or anything but...

*He looks away, a bit flustered himself at his awkward question.*

Arisu

*Alice isn't typically the one to lose reason in a situation so once Em has explained what he meant she calms down, a little more interested in another topic now.*

That's better I suppose. So you're really only 16 Em? Yet you own this building and create all these weapons? I'm kind of impressed actually.

Tatsuya

*He chuckles in the background before walking over to them*
Yeah Em's really something, heh at that age all I was doing was thinking about how empty life seemed and being annoyed at highschool.

*He smiles at Em*
Honestly I'd say you're more of adult than some people much older.

Emerson

*He calms down and regains his composure.*

Y-yeah. It's... a bit of a tale. But I've been hobbying weapon smithing and collecting for a long time. Once I saw the need for an armory here, I just kinda set up shop and got to work.
Honestly, it was just something to pass time at first. Then it turned into a sort of obsession... I just couldn't stop getting my hands on weapons and crafting ones myself. I got it under control eventually, but... well, just look around.

*He gestured to the room around them, although a bit messy now, it contains many weapons of multiple types. He then points to the back room, where racks and racks of weapons and various other things can been seen.*

Arisu

Yes it's truly something, especially after considering your age. Here I thought you were closer to my age or at the very least in your early twenties.

*She recalls Tatsuya's comment about when he was Em's age. She grins and starts prying into him.*

So tell us Tatsuya... How old are you exactly~?

Emerson

*Em laughs a bit when she mentions Tatsu's age.*

Tatsuya

*He turns to her with a look of surprise because she doesn't know*
I'm 3.... Wait shit, I'm 40 as of a couple days ago. *He laughs* God I don't even keep track anymore but yeah it was, huh time flies doesn't it?

Arisu

I... heard that right, right? Tatsuya did you just say you're fourty years old? What the heck are you doing hanging around a bunch of kids!?

Emerson

Don't worry, Ali, he's still a kid on the inside.
Also, it was your birthday? Why didn't you say anything! We should've celebrated!

*Em makes some confetti out of hard light, and throws it in the air.*

Arisu

I guess that's a good point. Excuse my outburst if you'd please Tatsuya.

*With the confetti flying through the air she'd put her hand on her head in hopes that any that would land on her head will now land on her head instead. She's very protective of the do...*

Tatsuya

*He laughs and waves it off*
I hang around you guys because you're the only ones around who get all this magic crap, it's kinda my whole life you know?

*He sighs and looks down* Honestly if my old friends knew me I'd probably just hang around them and not deal with others...

*He looks up at the two smiling* I guess that's the only good thing about it, without all that crap I probably wouldn't know people like you two so that's something good. And I guess I just forgot about it honestly Em, doesn't seem important anymore.

Emerson

*Em makes the confetti vanish.*

It's just light, Alice. Nothin' that'll hurt ya.

*Em instead makes sparklers out of a combined hard light and light, and waves them around.*

Arisu

I-I know that you idiot! Gosh... I just don't like having things in my hair. It's a girl thing, you two wouldn't understand. Anyways, I'm glad you like being around us Tatsuya! I thought I might come off as annoying or something when I first met all of you.

*Back to the nervous head rubbing.*

Emerson

I mean I don't like stuff in my hair either, but don't you absorb light, or something? The way I made that stuff, it wouldn't even touch you physically. It'd just get absorbed into your body.

*Em throws a ball of light at her.*

Tatsuya

*He looks at Alice in concern*
Annoying? Not really no... Heh, if you ever want to talk you know I'll listen right? *He offers her a bit of paper with his phone number* Just seems like something you should have.

Emerson

*He laughs a little before looking at Tats with a mischievous smile.*

O~oh, Tats, I didn't know you were into younger women.

Arisu

W-wah!!

*Alice flinches but judging by her elemental affinity thanks to her persona, surely enough the ball just fades on impact and is absorbed. After a few moments of nothing happening she'd return to normal and look down at herself.*

Look I'm new to this whole thing! I wasn't exactly encouraged to use my persona against myself and I didn't even know I could.

*Alice takes the piece of paper from Tatsuya and looks down at it.*

I suppose I'll have to establish contact with everyone eventually. I've never really been a part of a circle of friends like this before so please excuse my anxiety.

Tatsuya

*He looks at Em smugly*
You didn't? I mean look at Maya man how could you not... *He chuckles* Of course really I'm just into her, back in ye old days she was the older one actually.

Emerson

*He looks smugly back.*

Yeah, and that's why I'm surprised...
Anyways, is there anything else you need, Ali? I'm probably gonna close up in a bit.

Tatsuya

Geez Em, are you so addled by those teenage hormones you can't imagine I'm giving it to her for no reason beyond being a friend?

Arisu

No I'm fine. I was actually thinking of heading out of here myself. I never knew it growing up but living alone comes with a lot of responsibility...

Emerson

*Em drops the smile and looks seriously at Tatsu.*

... Gods, you must still be drunk if you're taking me seriously. I'm just kidding, Tatsuya. Just a little jape. It's my thing, whether it makes sense or now.

*He turns to Alice and smiles.*

I know whacha mean... having to fend for myself was pretty tough when I left home... Kinda sad I never let anyone join me, but whatever, hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

imtherealklib

OOC: I missed drinking...rip

Emerson

OOC: Nah, it was offscreen.

Tatsuya

*He stares at Em with an equally serious look*
Heh you actually bought that Em? Geez maybe I'm better at this then I thought?

*He starts to laugh*
I'm messing around too ya know... *He gives an inquiring look* People do realize I have a sense of humor right?

Emerson

*He looks smugly back at Tatsu, laughing a bit.*

No, Tatsu. Not many people do.
And this is another reason why I love messing with you sometimes, because I know you'll take me seriously if I fake it. Like I said, japing is my thing.

Arisu

*Alice grins. Her next comment is addressed to Tatsuya.*

Grandpas can laugh? Eheh... sorry if that was bad, I don't really tease people like that. Not having a sense of humor isn't a bad thing Tatsuya. Lord knows I'm a pretty serious face when people aren't throwing things at me. And with that, I'll see you both somewhere.

*When she mentions things being thrown at her she'd dart her eyes over to Em. Afterwards she takes her leave.*

Tatsuya

Hmm take you seriously? *He gives Em a grin like the Cheshire Cat's* If you really think I take it all that seriously you don't quite get me yet... Heh. I mostly just enjoy making people think I'm utterly humourless really.

Emerson

*He smiles all the same.*

Don't worry Tats, I can do this all day... I was trained by the best, after all!

*He shifts back to a serious expression.*

Anyways, kickin' you out. Ali left, and I've got some... things to clean up. Take care, alright?

*Em begins cleaning up the main room of the Armory from the damage Ragna and Tats caused.
He also picks up the shattered fragments of the door.*

Tatsuya

*He starts to walk out the door*
Sure you don't need help there man? Least I can do after all that's happened tonight.

Emerson

Nah, it's fine. Just go take a nap or something, old man. Gods know you need it.

*He continues placing the items back on the shelves.*

Tatsuya

*He walks off with a grin on his face* Sure thing Em, I'll get outta your hair. *He vanishes into the early morning darkness*

I walk in. "Knock knock. Sorry for bardging in, but the door wasn't here, and the armoury seemed a cool place to check out."

Emerson

*Em looks up at the person who walked in.*

Oh, uh... I was just closing. I guess that's kinda tough with no door, huh.
It's fine. What can I get for you?

*He stands up and goes to behind the counter.*

Wincing a little I look around. "Sorry, i just got back in town and this looked damn interesting. Well I guess let's start with basics, what weapons do you have here?"

Emerson

Well, most things. You name it, I probably have it. If not, I can make it.
Do you have anything in mind?

*He gives a friendly look with a hint of "please hurry up so I can go home please".*

FireShadow19

Chuckling I shake my head. "No worries I can read looks. I'll come back tomorrow." I start walking out and stop by the front door. "I'm just a collector of antique weapons as well. Look up the Urumi if you haven't heard of it, rare stuff like that. See ya around." Smirking I exit the shop.

Emerson

*He sighs in relief as he exits the armory.*

Finally... relaxation can happen...

*He finds a large wooden board, and secures it tightly over the door frame. Afterwards, he heads out the back entrance, locking it, and heads on his way.*
