[dropoffs]

If you're a split second from death, you would be a split second from death but with a gun.

[ That isn't any less dead. ]

Everyone will be equipped with supplies upon landing.

[roseoftexas]

As long as I'm split seconds from death with a gun, rather than without one.

[ this is all he wanted to know. GUN. ]

[dropoffs]

What is so great about guns, anyway?

[ They're disproving... They don't like guns. ]

[roseoftexas]

Nothing much.

[ genuinely. he knows how bad a gun is. ] It's what I was taught though, so it's what I'll seek out if I need one.

[dropoffs]

That sounds like something my brother would say, even though he had more power at his disposal.

[roseoftexas]

Better than grabbing a sword if I've never held one in my life. [ right? ] Although -- how much more power are you talking here?

[dropoffs]

I'm not one for manmade tools.

[ So they don't care about swords, either. ]

He could change the world.

[roseoftexas]

Hand to hand?

[ poor swords. ]

... Literally, or metaphorically? There are people out there with ideas big enough to change the world, but they don't almost manage it.

[dropoffs]

Yes.

[ They believe in their own power. ]

Literally. He has childish ideals and the world does not bend to that.

[roseoftexas]

[ HE’S JUST SQUINTING. ]

You… know someone who can just think something into existence if they try really hard. [ JUST LIKE THAT? ]

[dropoffs]

I meant that he does not have the metaphorical power.

[ Like he is too naive to be a politician or something. He has literal power of mass destruction. ]

[roseoftexas]

No, I get that. You said literally.

[ ….. ]

That’s something.

[dropoffs]

[ They seem annoyed when talking about their brother... But also listless. It's complicated. ]

Why not use the power you were born with...

[ They don't understand. ]

[roseoftexas]

My fists can't hit a target from 50 feet.

[ the... brother topic is paused. he is still curious though. ]

[dropoffs]

Not you.

[ They know you are just a guy who needs a gun. ]

... I've said too much.

[roseoftexas]

... It's not like I have any more context for what you're saying than you have for what I'm saying.

[dropoffs]

[ ... They exhale deeply, or that's what it seems like with the drop of their shoulders.

They're going to abscond now. Goodbye. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ goobbye. ]
