So. If you're okay with it getting confiscated for a few days. Literally anything we've tried to register through the Public Safety Office has gotten confiscated, but then Retrospec somehow gets their hands on it again and you get it back in the mail with a registration filled out. Doesn't matter how ridiculous it is.
I recommend the Deadeye Range's gun safety course even if you just intend to stick the thing in a closet and not use it.
Fucking christ, Retrospec. Outdone themselves this time.
So here's the thing. By all rights, it should get confiscated. The handgun that Retrospec sent me did, even though it's a regular gun model that already existed in this world, just because I didn't have the permit for it.
But it's as if Retrospec can't let us not have these things. The simplest answer is just that Maurice fills out a bogus registration and sends it back to you. I don't understand why, but it's like the 'sleepers' will stop paying attention to it at that point.
So. A shotgun. And the bullets for it are purchasable in vending machines.
Which. Can we talk about that for a minute? You missed that day at the office. I pass a vending machine for bullets. A vending machine for bullets with a clown on it. On my way in to work. I am all prepared to report it only to find another one right up the block from the department and a coworker buying stuff out of it!
I don't know how to properly react to this, because I want to say 'amazing' and 'unfortunate' at the same time, and neither reaction sounds like enough.
The bottom of the sea. Wait, how do you live down there? Let alone how do you build the city?
Wait, 1940's? The other Eleanor is from that far back?
We've already supposed that most people aren't coming from the same place, the same planet, but that's really really far from what anybody's said before.

Okay. Before I assume, what's the question?

Date: 2017-10-18 01:35 pm (UTC)My question is.
What the hell do I do with it?
I mean
I guess it's mine
But I can't exactly go get a gun license for my insane steampunk monstrosity of a shotgun.
Also I think it fires bullets from those new vending machines. The lightning ones.

I've been poking at it.
(It's not loaded)
And if I'm right it's...uh
High capacity?
And semi-automatic.
And all kinds of illegal.
And it shoots lightning bullets.

Just
Retrospec went from never sending me anything
To sending me a doll
And then a shotgun.
Just
What

Bullets.

The machines.
I remember seeing one.

It's a city on the bottom of the sea.
Run by some kind of objectivist lunatic.

I don't know.
I think she was born there
The other me.
So they built it before the 40s at least?
But it doesn't make sense how.
I keep wanting to figure it out but I don't know enough to actually do it.
