Great. So I guess you know all about the lovely murder evidence Retrospec's trying to plant on me.

[originallutece]

Nothing's happened yet, though. Has it? Surely Togusa and the others on the police force will understand.

you asked for this icon, and so ye shall receive

[frostythehitman]

Well. Togusa does, anyway.

But that doesn't mean Retrospec didn't try to start shit.

jesus it's 2001 again

[originallutece]

It is a rather strange package to send someone.

[She wonders, though. She wouldn't put it past Retrospec to try and screw James over, but it seems a bit random. Surely there's some other meaning behind it-- but then again, he had said he remembered being in a war.]

You've not received anything else of that nature?

[frostythehitman]

...what do you mean by "that nature"?

[originallutece]

Gore, limbs, anything dangerous or suspect.

[frostythehitman]

[ well. he was gonna keep on being cagey but honestly, if she already knows about the arm, what's even the point in hiding the rest of it. ]

Yeah, they sent me a gun too. Along with bullets for it.

[originallutece]

Have you used it yet?

[frostythehitman]

No. I don't even know if it still works or not, it could be rusted shut for all I know. It's from like 1940 so it's pretty old.

[originallutece]

You might want to try. Simply for the sake of knowing; given how unpredictable this app is, more knowledge can't hurt.

[frostythehitman]

Are you INSANE? The gun could explode in my face and kill me if I just "try it"!

I need to strip it down to check all the parts first. I just don't remember how to.

[originallutece]

Watch your tone. If you disagree, all you have to do is say that.

[frostythehitman]

I'm not saying I disagree, I'm saying that's UNSAFE. Totally different.

[originallutece]

Surely there must be a guide to stripping it down online.

[frostythehitman]

[ ...would you believe he hadn't actually tried searching that yet

turns out there's literally dozens of documents and steps and videos about it. ]

yeah

well

Who died and made you the expert on field stripping?

[originallutece]

You hadn't thought of it at all, had you.

[frostythehitman]

How was I supposed to know they'd just put information on how to disassemble and reassemble weapons online where anyone can find them?

[ ah, the naivete of someone who's never had to think about these things before. ]

[originallutece]

There's guides to make bombs online, James. There's guides for /everything/.

[frostythehitman]

There's no way this is legal.

[ He's used to all lethal stuff being safeguarded in the military, none of this "out in the open for any civilian to just stumble upon" crap. ]

But at least these handgun specs are coming in handy, so there's that.

[originallutece]

Of course it's legal; there's nothing wrong with looking at specs.

[frostythehitman]

And what happens when someone 3D prints a gun from the specs?

[originallutece]

America will shudder and fall from the sudden onslaught of

Oh, wait, no. It'll be just another gun on the pile of guns in this country.

[frostythehitman]

Yeah but these ones will be made of plastic!
