Seven feet tall? Really? That's impressive. [ Tall people are useful. ]

I hope to meet up with someone soon, and he's a decent person, at least. I'm Nicole, and it's nice to meet you as well, Magenta. [ Even if his name is odd and his voice is terrible. ] I'm not planning on pulling anything, but I am interested in knowing if you have any weapons you'd be willing to spare. As a trade, of course.

[himalayanyeti]

Nicole! A fine enough name, though I wouldn't pay more than a nickel for it!

...Does that work? I'm tryin' out some new bits, is all. Gotta keep it fresh and hilarious. Anyways: no, I don't have any other knives, and even if I did, I'd be keen on keepin' 'em unless you had some fantastic deal...which I doubt, 'cause you've only been here for a little bit.

[slapthelibrarian]

Well, thank you, I'm rather fond of it myself. [ She chuckles. ] And aren't you funny?

[ It's really not meant to be condescending. Nicole can appreciate a good pun when she hears one. ]

That's unfortunate, but I'll just have to find my own weapons, then. I don't have very much on me right now, and I wouldn't expect something for nothing.

[himalayanyeti]

I am funny, thank you very much. And good luck on the weapons! I'd say you could find some scissors, or somethin' else sharp. That's a bit easier than a knife, it seems like! There's no guns here. Me'n a few other guys're tryin' to pull some together, though! It's tricky stuff.

[slapthelibrarian]

I know you are, I was attempting to express my appreciation of your pun. [ She's making a note of this. If she ever needs a laugh, she'll look for him first. ] A sense of humor is an asset around here, or so it would seem.

Someone else mentioned the idea of using scissors to me. In the absence of an actual weapon, I think scissors will do the job admirably well.

[ She sounds more interested now that Magenta's mentioned guns. ]

How exactly are you planning to do that?

cw for eye squick

[himalayanyeti]

Scissors do just fine, from what I've heard! They're sharp 'nough to get an eye, and that's really what matters. Nobody 'round here wears glasses, so you'll do great with havin' anythin' remotely sharp. Careful, though, 'cause the monsters can't be stabbed.

Well, we were discussin' havin' some kind'a rubber band system or a system with springs, but I really don't think either would work good enough. We need to make some gunpowder, in my opinion!

[slapthelibrarian]

Well, then, I'll just have to find something else that will work on the monsters, because the last thing I plan on doing is becoming dinner for one of them.

Can't be that hard, can it? It was already invented once. What's stopping us from reinventing it?
