sup, new girl here

spare me the usual bs, i want to know something

we're supposed to be trying to curry favor with...something...or other to save our universes right?

what have YOU done so far? i need examples, because if i'm doing this, i gotta know just how utterly fucked i am

also also, where can a red blooded american girl find some firepower? asking for a friend

[ what a nice, not problematic at all post ]

[redheadcarrier]

nothing, I just got here. I'm still figuring this mess out!

[ There's a pause before the next bit sends. ]

you mean like a gun? or something bigger?

[spinoff]

stick around, hopefully someone will say something useful

also no, i know my limits. i don't want to pull the trigger and go flying back like a ragdoll

[ebrius]

absolutely nothing.

besides drink.

[spinoff]

personal choice or have you all been sitting on your asses all this time?

[neverleave]

We had a "trust building exercise":

1. Get randonly paired and try to guess the other's favorite drink
2. Have secrets or personal items sent to total strangers
3. Run into our evil doppelganger, which we depended on others to kill because we couldn't touch them

[spinoff]

oh

so mind fuckery

we're doing mind fuckery up in this shithole

wonderful

un: arsenal

[thwikt]

don't think they have a weapons shop here
just a lot of trees
and half constructed bldgs
and a bouncy castle

[spinoff]

i mean

someone can just trip on a bouncy castle and break their neck?

[ Wrong franchise, Tara! ]

[thinkerseven]

[spinoff]

Echo. Aurora is the ... um. Holographic lady? I think she's Echo's helper?

Anyhow I think Echo is mostly focused on us getting along with each other. Or cooperating. The first thing we did was pair up and sit in a room until we could guess each other's favorite drink. It was sort of fun actually ... aside from being locked in a room.

[spinoff]

and how's that going?

can't imagine it's going well. lot's of big personalities going around

un: mordio

[myagic]

I'd say it's pretty sad you don't even know where to start, but a lot of the terms haven't exactly been clear.

[spinoff]

so...you could insult me, but then you would be insulting yourself?

why can't people just be nice?

un: k7

[seenitall]

what kind of weapons are you looking for?

[spinoff]

guns? knives?

honoestly whatever easy to conceal and use

[ he will dispense entirely with the pleasantries since it seems others have those covered... ]

To the best of my knowledge there is no publicly-available armory in the city. If you need weaponry that was not on your person on arrival, you may need to request it specially.

[spinoff]

seems to be the case

then again, i wonder if the powers that be would like the idea of us being armed

[ If Barry weren't being careful, he'd tell her he kept an evil speedster from destroying the Multiverse a few hours ago. But he's being careful, which means he gets to be his lame ass self instead! ]

What makes you think you're fucked?

[spinoff]

[ Thanks Barry you're so considerate. ]

I don't have superpowers?

like wtf i am seriously underequipped here

UN: timdrake

[mostdangerousbird]

Probably not enough. The instructions are vague, and I don’t think guns are going to solve that.

[spinoff]

oh, a gun would be more for my peace of mind

they're being awfully vague while saying the stakes are so high, very irritating

un: griffin

[skaikru]

Looks like you've gotten some decent answers already. ( looking at you, natsuno, not so much rita... )

But if you somehow manage to manifest a weapons shop, do spread the word. Also asking for a friend.

[spinoff]

manifest? not following here

un: Panacea

[ontologically]

This feels like a case of the blind leading the blind. Nobody knows anything, unfortunately.

[spinoff]

oh no, i am seriously not guiding anyone here

can't you cure blindness? not that it actually applies, but yeah, just curious

un: asano

[revengeisalie]

I've mostly been trying to explore the place and keep my head down. So far, the robots seem helpful; but on the other hand, I once found a severed arm in a package, and for a while, there were, uh... copies? Of people walking around. Considerably meaner copies.

So all in all, I don't know if currying favor with these people is something I want to do.

You might want to ask Kate about firepower, she manages a sort of community center with an archery range.

[spinoff]

heard about the evil clones, that was probably crazy

honestly i don't know if we have a say in it

already did actually, so i might be getting a knife. or a shank. very prision-like

un: hawkeye

[westcoasts]

i was telling the journalist that a little while ago, i had a celestial visit and judge me.
the highlight was a fun conversation about ethics and intentions.
at the end of the day, i figure if there's precisely any merit to what we're being told, ( which he thinks is a 'no', ) either echo's seen something in how you are fundamentally as a person that seems promising — good, by a measure, or even just how you respond to adversity.
are we comparing ourselves to each other, or we comparing us to us? big difference.
maybe just asking the question's a start, 'cause not a lot of people stop to ask what's good enough.

as for weapons, i don't know. my partner got a building, so i'm hoping to sweet talk aurora into giving me some of my stuff.

[spinoff]

you had a what?

are we competing together for a common goal, or a we competing for a limited amount of slots to save our homes? that alone would change everything

let me know how that goes

un: sam

[killer]

this is very proactive.

any luck on the firepower?

[spinoff]

if i'm not doing anything i'll go insane

kate bishop (who is apparently a superhero that goes by hawkeye because that's the world we live in now) has a house full of weapons, and she thinks there might knives somewhere, so i'm going to go check

also apparently we bring places from our worlds here, so i'm wondering if certain psycho museum/shrine is around here
