video; un: ROCKET | happiness is a warm gun

[beatupgrass]

[Here we have Rocket, our local raccoonoid, contributing his part of the planning.]

So I don't know shit about dragons, but I do know a few things about fightin' giant monsters, and I want these dudes to fail so bad in their stupid plan that they die humiliated. That would give me an extreme amount of satisfaction. So! I got a proposal.

See, everybody's got their little contributions to this cause, and this is mine- I build things. Specifically, I build gadgets. Tech, weapons, bombs... Mostly those last two. The problem is that unless y'all want me to start ripping non-essentials off the station while those Natha jerks are off on vacation or whatever, I don't have the materials to arm everybody who wants it.

Ergo if you want bigger and badder weapons, you need to come to Wyver and bring me whatever you got that I can make something worth your while with. We'll discuss the payment particulars later.

[This? This right here? This is the biggest smile you've ever seen on her face.]

I'll do whatever I can, and you can have whatever you need of the stuff I already have.

[Small pause.] Except for maybe my clothes and my jewelry. I like those.

[She knows it's a lie. But he said it anyway and that's all that matters.]

[beatupgrass]

Don't worry. Clothes and jewelry do not good weapons make... Unless you got one of those rings that poison people. Those are kinda badass.

[uglybug]

I have wooden bracelets. I don't think they blow up very well.

[beatupgrass]

Yeah, I'd say those are pretty well useless, but fashionable, I guess.

Have I mentioned this place's inconsistent technology is a pain in my ass? 'Cause it really is. Nobody's got the kind of shit that Evras has. We should've yanked even more while we were there.

[They already stole all of his androids, though, so, like... That is a pretty big risk.]

[uglybug]

We stole a lot... [How much more was she supposed to carry, Rocket?]

I wonder if Evras has some connection to Thesa. [Like you said, no one has the kind of shit that Evras has.] Perhaps he's had access to some of that technology somehow.

[beatupgrass]

He better not. [He bares his teeth in a growl, fur sticking up.] They wanted his androids, so maybe he's an outlier or something. And Cree's got those d'asted mechanical birds, too. But I dunno what to believe anymore. There's too much they ain't telling us.
