1st Shot -- [Accidental Video]

[The video flicks on. First appearance, the camera is staring at a sidewalk. The camera turns up and shows Gilbert, staring down at the device, a puzzled look on his face.]

What is...?

[The video turns again, showing the sidewalk a second time.]

First these new surroundings and now this?!

[There's a pause as the video jerks, showing a pair of black boots now.]

And where the hell is Oz?!

Well, you could.

...But that wouldn't do much. I can show ya around if you'd like, I'd just need to find you first. Any street signs around?

I would appreciate it.

[Gilbert looks around.]

There's a building with the sign 'Felix's Finds' across the street.

Felix's Finds... ah, alright. It's not too far of a walk, but... give me a few minutes?

[Not that she really waits for a response, affirmative or negative. The screen shows a flurry of motion for a scant few seconds before going silent.

A bit more than five minutes later, depending on Gilbert's hearing, the clicking of shoes against pavement will announce Devola's presence far before the woman herself does.]

Of course.

[Gilbert goes ahead, while he's waiting, and lights up a cigarette while taking in his surroundings. There's so many things he's not use to. And he does hear those clicking shoes. He looks over at her.]

Glad to see you made it.

Sorry it took so long. I confess, I'm not the speediest walker.

[She pauses, looking at him quizzically.]

What's that smokey-thing?

It's fine.

[Gilbert looks a little surprised by that.]

... it's a cigarette.

Huh, never woulda guessed...

Anyway, where to first? Decent bunch of places of interest, though you've already managed to find one of 'em on your own.

... I have?

[Also surprised by this.]

Yep yep. Felix's Finds. [She points to the shop itself, as if to further enunciate her meaning.]

As far as I know, it's where people have the least difficulty in getting armaments. Swords and the like, maybe guns? Never had a use for it, myself, but...

[It's at this moment Gilbert checks for his weapon. Still there. But he'll run out of ammo eventually. He'll have to go in at some point and buy some.]

They just give weapons to anyone?

[She shakes her head vigorously] You're asking the wrong person for that one... I dunno how to use weapons, so I kinda haven't checked. If I had to give you an answer based off of what I've heard though; it sounds like that's the case, yes.

I guess I'll have to ask sometime, then. ... wait, you've never used a weapon?

Well, just a staff... [And she spaces her hands out, roughly 3' apart from one another.]

...But that's just for self-defense, and I'd prefer to beat a hasty retreat from whatever I'd use it against.

[Dryly] I'm a singer, not a fighter.

[Gilbert hesitates for a moment.]

I know someone that feels the same. He's a paper worker though.

Mm. It's not even that I'm a pacifist, just... not trained?

[A casual shrug.]

I should probably rethink my stance on that "not trained" bit, m'starting to feel like dead weight here.

[Gilbert hesitates for a moment.]

... there's nothing wrong with not being a fighter, even if it is just because you're not trained. There are other ways to help.

[She considers his words, nodding slowly and smiling.]

Yeah, you're right. Still, being surrounded by a buncha superhuman fighters leaves a body feeling just a touch... superfluous, I guess?

[Gilbert pauses.]

It's understandable... what would you want to train with? Weapons wise, I mean.

...If I had to choose, might as well stick with what I know somewhat instead of something completely new. Not that staves seem all that good offensively.

[A beat, and a sheepish smile.]

Be nice if that "magic" stuff was within the realm of human ability, too.

At least you have a small start then, instead of starting fresh.

[A small smile.]

It would.

Well. I guess it does, technically. Seen it before, just... you know. Never been able to.

[She keeps smiling sheepishly, but attempts to put on at least a partial business-face.]

Anywhoo, what kinda place do you wanna see first on the Grand Tour~
