[ He'll settle for manners being the standard. ]

So tell me about yourself. What brings Avalon to this vessel?

[chaos_drifter]

I was an inmate, and I graduated recently. [He probably wants to know what their Warden deal is, but they still have no idea.] I decided to stay and get a deal because I may be able to use it to help my species.

[closeyourfist]

There are worse reasons. [ The notion of doing the same thing has crossed his mind, certainly. ] So I am to understand that for the next month I should be looking to you for any emergencies, yes?

[chaos_drifter]

Yes. As far as I know, the only thing I cannot do is ask for your abilities to be restored.

[closeyourfist]

Don't believe I have lost any, so that issue takes care of itself.

[chaos_drifter]

What can you do? [It must be safe enough that the Admiral trusted him with it, but they feel responsible for at least having the information.]

[closeyourfist]

[ Flatly. ] Dress myself, complete day to day functions, and form sentences.

[chaos_drifter]

What can you do that falls outside of typical human capabilities? [Avalon corrects themself, their tone and expression still neutral.]

[closeyourfist]

As far as I know, nothing. [ He's not expecting to get any of the boons back that came from Bane, and everything from before...well, a moot point. ]

[chaos_drifter]

In that case, do you need some form of protection? I could ask the Admiral to make you intangible if someone attacks you, or something similar. [If they knew him better, they would consider offering him weapons, but they would prefer not to do that yet.]

[closeyourfist]

I'm sure you mean well, but that sounds like the sort of thing a devil offers. [ A glower. ] Guaranteed to have a hidden cost. I'd rather a conventional weapon if anything.

[chaos_drifter]

As far as I know, the worst that can happen is that he will refuse. It does not have a hidden cost that I know of, but I understand the hesitation.

I can give you a weapon, but if I do so, I would likely restrict it. [They would rather not be indirectly responsible for a murder.]

[closeyourfist]

I imagined you would. I seek a means to better defend myself and nothing more.

[chaos_drifter]

Do you have a weapon of choice?

[closeyourfist]

...Ranged is preferred.

[chaos_drifter]

Would a gun that can only be fired in self-defense serve your purpose?

[closeyourfist]

...Gun?

[chaos_drifter]

[Oh.] Like a bow and arrow, if it only fired the arrows’ tips, and did so at higher speeds.

[closeyourfist]

I see. The concept is being toyed with where I come from, but it's not quite the same.

(ooc: Note also that Tendi in her latest post locked to Wardens is her pressing others to consider her idea of a Stun-Only phaser for defense purposes, as the Admiral will only let Wardens request such a thing for their assigned inmates. Gortash may have been the one to cause this >.> So there is at least a less potentially lethal option out too)

[chaos_drifter]

I can try to think of something else, then.

[closeyourfist]

[ This man cannot yet be trusted with a gun. ]

The consideration at all is welcome. I just ask that if a solution is not found before the month is up that you pass your observations along to...whomever else this ship will see fit to saddle me with.
