So, I guess there's not really an easy way to talk about it.

Is there a group of people interested in exploring the Dark Hour?

I'm just getting started so I'd rather have a group of people.

[Locked to Kiritsugu Emiya]

I heard you're the person to talk to about weapons.

[Servant. No question about it. None of the Masters know of his methods. None but Shirou, who does know better than to mention it around here. He has taken great care to carry his fights against Shadows with subtlety, and not even that many people know his name in Prospero. Maiya, naturally, would never blow his cover.]

[So it had to be a Servant who told him. Saber? Lancer? Regardless, he can work with this. To deny his knowledge of firearms would be exceedingly suspicious in light of recent events, but as long as the body isn't discovered by the general populace, there should be no danger. And if it is? Well, apart from Maiya, there will be another person with access to firearms around.]

I know a few things.

[If he's going to be facing the Dark Hour, he doesn't plan to do it without weapons... again.]

Do you supply them?

I don't mind going with you.

[maguskiller]

Maybe. Depends on what you're looking for.

[range]

Have you gone before?

[range]

Long range weaponry. Pistol, Rifle, even a Bazooka if you have it.

[Text]

[perfectisofon]

I have.

Would this be your first time going?

Text; Private

[maguskiller]

I can take care of the first two. You'll get some attention with the last one, whether it's getting or using it.

Pistol. Semi-automatic? Do you plan to snipe with the rifle, or do you want something more portable?

[Text]

[range]

Second time, actually.

Text; Private

[range]

Luckily the last one was a last resort.

Yes, looking for something like the OTs-27. Berdysh. Don't know if you'd have that exact type.

Portable for the rifle. I'm planning on moving quickly with it, the lighter the better.

[Kiritsugu thinks for a moment. OTs-27. By the time of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the PSA had just started to circulate, but Kiritsugu's extensive research before his battle has already acquainted him with it. A safe choice, but did it mean the man talking to him was Russian? It's impossible to tell through text, and even in person the way language works in Prospero would make things difficult.]

Possible. 9x18mm PM, or 9x19mm Parabellum?

Rifle... I can find a CZ 550 American 308 easily enough. 3628 grams. Magazine's detachable. You'll need something with enough power to bring down a Shadow. Still holds four rounds.

[This would be a good time to ask if he's familiarized with it, in an attempt to ascertain where he's from, but Kiritsugu knows more than enough arms-dealing etiquette to keep this professional.]

[He's had to look up guns from this day and era because of the significant changes in the two worlds. This was the most similar to the one he used back home. And despite not being trained exactly in how it was just yet, he was sure he could handle it.]

Parabellum.

That'll be fine. If you don't mind, I'd like to come and test it out myself. Not completely familiar with it.

[But he's not just going to give everything away. He's brighter than that.]

[caliberill]

Can't say no to some exploring.

How many times have you been through it already?

[range]

Once. That's about it, so I wouldn't mind going in again for another attempt.

[maguskiller]

I'll send you the address for a nearby shooting range. I'll meet you there at this hour in two days. I'll have them ready by then.

[Showing his appearance will do no more harm than has already been done by having his name divulged, after all.]

[caliberill]

I'd be good for another try - what day were you thinking of doing it?

[Text]

[perfectisofon]

What do you think of it so far?

Text; Private

[range]

Alright, thank you. I'll see you in two days then.

(ooc: Do you want to set up a log for this then?)

[Text]

[range]

It's all sunshine and rainbows.

Well, I mean, it's kind of like hell, isn't it?

[range]

If I can get together a good team for it, I'd like to go again as soon as possible.

[caliberill]

Sounds good. Just give a call whenever.

I'm Nate. Nathan Drake.

[range]

Will do.

Grit.

[caliberill]

Nice to meet you. Haven't been here long, huh?

[range]

What gave it away?

[caliberill]

Oh, I dunno. Just a hunch.

Got any other questions, while we're still here though?

[range]

Not really. Anything else I want to know can be learned from the dark hour.

[caliberill]

Alright then. Catch you around?

[range]

That you will.
