Iiiii'm not sure that's how it works, but I don't know enough about building to contradict you.

[ sand pile,,,, well ok yeah sitting down next to him ]

It's actually for Charon? I was thinking about surprising him.

Oh! I like surprising Charon with presents. I haven't managed to do it yet but in theory I like it.

[ !!!

baps his hand ]

[ hehehehe ]

Anyway, I was thinking about something he told me a little while ago. During that emotions ritual, he said he'd gotten shot a bunch pretty early on while being here? And so even using his gun can feel kind of spooky, which I don't blame him for.

So what I'm wondering is, would you have any idea how to build him a gun that doesn't, like...sound or feel like one?

A gun with no recoil... a perfect silencer...

[ you can almost see the beautiful mind math equations floating around his head ]

With magitech, it should be possible. I've made bean shooters that are nearly that, so adjusting it to work with real bullets should be pretty simple...

[ the way his grin grows as he watches aides think through that ]

I knew you'd know what to do. [ his awesome smart pal aides!!! ] Do you need any supplies you don't have? I can handle the, like, talking to Red or whoever since I dunno if I'd be any help with the building parts.

I have a few spare parts... I think I might need a magestone for this build. But it only has to be a small one. Oh, but I don't know if they exist in your world so I'd probably have to ask... but then I'd probably need help with the quest. They're so hard now... last time I had to kiss people...

[ in a tone like. this is the worst thing Red has ever asked him to do. which it is. ]

B-but! For a gift for Charon I can power through...!

[ to be fair, being Told To Kiss People is kind of terrible! so he's making a sympathetic expression to that ]

Geez. Whatever it is...well, if I can help, I will. That's the least I can do here.

[ nod nod ]

Mm, but it's possible I could work around it without a magestone? I think it would be pretty easy to write up a program that automatically casts a silence spell as soon as the trigger is pulled, making the gunshot entirely silent, but then again that pulls a bit of power from the user, so I think there's also a purely tech way to put it together...

[ nodding because he didn't understand that at all ]

But I WOULD need a couple of things I don't already have that I THINK should be available in any world with enough tech for there to be firearms at all so maybe I could assign you that. Since it's only two or three small components it should be a super easy quest.

For sure.

[ SUPER EMPHATICALLY, like someone who definitely understands these considerations ]

Just tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it.

I'll write a list...

You know where to find me once that's done.

[ assuming he needs some time to think about it ]

...and, thanks. This is definitely not the kind of thing I could do on my own.
